Evelyn's Table in City of London, Westminster

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Was 10/10. Could not recommend more highly. I hope the new chef is as good! fab

This was an exceptional multi course set menu in a cool intimate space. There are only 12 seats in the restaurant, all lined up facing the masters at work - the chefs. The menu was five set courses plus two bonus courses. Two of the courses are fish of the day and the other courses included UK Iberico ham and Devonshire beef, plus a delicious fruit based dessert. I had an excellent wine pairing from the very knowledgeable sommelier. A great experience from start to finish and fairly priced for the quality.

When a friend suggested joining her at Evelyn’s Table, I wasn’t sure as it seems expensive. But I am so happy I decided to go. The food was amazing, service mostly good. Each dish explained and everything a pleasure except perhaps dessert on the day we went (far too cloyingly sweet) but every other dish was spot on! Atmosphere (ie other diners) was rather subdued as there was an air of quiet seriousness about food (I think we were given a couple of looks for laughing as we were chatting - but it was just the day we went. It is a 12-seater restaurant so very dependent on who is there on that sitting). All in all I would recommend going at least once. PS you can arrive early and have a drink at their bar upstairs.

Great food , super ambience. Who doesn’t love a counter for dining? Casual setting but the food anything but casual. Great wine pairing too. Lovely experience all round.

This is a meal we will remember for a long time. So lovely to be able to watch the chef at work and it is wonderful. Huge thanks to James, Denatas and Robert for serving scrumptious plates of art and for taking the time to explain each dish. We don’t drink, but our sommelier ladies (Danielle and Isabel) made sure we had a great time with superb non-alcoholic pairing. And they worked seamlessly with the chefs - it’s like watching a very well-rehearsed tango with 5 people in a very cozy space! If I win the lottery, I want to be back every month, not just for birthdays! Thank you.

Our evening at Evelyn's Table was the best dining experience of our lives. Seating is at a counter with a total of 12 diners and on the other side of the counter is the kitchen where you watch three chefs prepare your creative, inventive, delicate, delicious food. Each course is described in detail to you personally by one of the chefs. The wine pairing adds an entirely other wonderful dimension to the evening. I will never forget our evening at Evelyn's Table and hope to return some day.

Intimate counter restaurant beneath The Blue Posts pub. Two sittings per evening. The set menu is served to all at the same time. A series of perfectly executed delicate and creative dishes. Their components are explained in detail by the chefs. The pairing wine menu is sensational with a selection of wines and sakes to punctuate each dish. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Food was excellent. Service had some flaws as my wine glass was broken and when mentioning about the issue, they just shruged it away by changing the glass. In my opinion this kind of service is unacceptable for Michelin level restaurant.

This was one of the best meals of my life. Food was spectacular and, unlike many Michelin starred restaurants, it was not stuffy or pretentious but fun. Loved the interactions with the chefs and sommelier. It was worth every penny and effort in getting a reservation.

What a spot. Evelyn's Table surpassed all expectations we had and the team presented us with a truly wonderful and memorable dining experience. We arrived and were shown to a reserved table in the upstairs pub. We enjoyed the complimentary Evelyn's Beer along with some nibbles while we read the back story to the restaurant before being guided downstairs. It is such an intimate venue, tucked away and truly unique just 12 seats watching the chefs at work. Whilst intimate it did not feel claustrophobic - just cosy and my friend and I still enjoyed private chats despite it being a communal type venue. I couldn't do the descriptions of the food justice, but each course was sensational. Personally presented by the chefs with explanation and an invitation to ask any questions about the food - which we did and enjoyed these chats immensely! We were also guided by the sommelier into some fabulous wine choices. The pairing wine menu also sounded sensational with the couple next to us singing the praises of the wine choices. The stand out dishes were the quail, lamb, cod, milk bread, the dessert... everything!!! If you are lucky to snag a reservation - enjoy!!!

We had never done a Michelin starred restaurant before and after researching all of them in London we chose Evelyn's and it was the right choice. It is dinner theatre. There are twelve diners, and you're within mere feet of the chef's as they're preparing each course, watching them at work, interacting with them throughout the meal. They are so good at their craft, pairing foods that you would never imagine together. My memory is poor but I believe they paired oysters with strawberry, or maybe it was strawberry juice? I just remember thinking it was odd and interesting, but it was delicious. It was the best meal experience we've ever had and I would absolutely return. And yes we were full by the end. I can't recommend enough adding the wine flight to your meal; the sommelier was so knowledgeable and her descriptions of each pairing was interesting, and each wine was spot on for the course it was paired with. Spend the extra money, enjoy the wine pairing. If you're lucky enough to get a reservation you won't be disappointed. Just know that the dining area is small, it is not some large restaurant, but a small room that is very intimate, very personal, and an amazing experience.

The food was creative and perfectly executed, we especially loved the pigeon and pumpkin dessert. If we were rating based on the food alone, we would have given this restaurant 5 stars. The wine pairing was also great. However, while the service staff were lovely, the wider experience let the place down. They tell you to arrive at 17.45 for the 18.00 sitting. We arrived at 17.40 and after receiving a lukewarm welcome, were left standing for 20 minutes in a crowded pub and those who arrived after us were all seated before us. The sitting arrangements were extremely cramped. The space is clearly too tight for 12 covers (it should have been 8 at most), the chairs were extremely uncomfortable and we had our neighbouring diners’ elbows digging into our ribs the whole time. The food was excellent and one of the better and more innovative one-star options in London - in a bigger space seated at proper tables and comfortable seats, we would have loved to enjoy a longer and slower tasting menu without having to return the table at a particular time, and would have been willing to pay more for it. At a price tag of nearly £500 for two though, the space is just too small to really enjoy the wonderful food.

Fantastic meal. My husband and I have been to a handful of Michelin starred restaurants and this is one of our favorites. The intimate ambiance was great. We loved the music being played (not your traditional playlist). The food was fantastic. Plenty of food without feeling like it was too much. The dessert (a cherry blossom thing of joy) was absolutely fantastic. Our favorite dessert to date. The wine pairing was also lovely. We were able to get the Thursday reservations. You need fast fingers though! Looking forward to returning in the future.

The Best! So tiny, but so perfect, and such a terrific team. Only a dozen seats but to sit and share the perfection of preparation and quality was unique. And an amazing wine list to experiment and die for!

Ok let’s get straight to the point. This is the best food I’ve eaten this year. And I mean anywhere. I’ve been lucky enough to eat at a lot of 3* and 2* places and food wise this is right there. It’s in a basement in Soho and got its star this year. It has a pub above and a wine bar above that. All excellent. As a result it’s a very casual vibe. A cool playlist there throughout enhancing and not interfering with your meal. A 12 seater counter with 2 sittings with a tasting menu. We went for wine pairing too. Nothing casual about the food though. Provocative, fun, precision, balanced, exciting are some of the words I might use. Just magnificent. Everything 10/10 and one or two thing 11/10. Wouldn’t want to spoil it but scallop course and I will say no more. Beautifully created and presented by a superstar young chef in front of your eyes. Wine pairing too had interest as sake and Sherry appear. Service was fun and informative and again casual throughout. This might just be perfection.

Fantastic food all put together in front of your eyes. Very attentive service. The dinner was amazing with lots of extra little courses. the food was exquisite, and beautifully presented, the flavours were intense and influenced by the east. Watching the chefs work was amazing. It was the best evening I have had in a long time and I long to go back.

This is an exceptional dining experience. It’s the kind of setting for a special occasion and ideal for a big date night. The Selby brothers’ food is inventive and faultless, there is not one dish that is ok. Every course is excellent! The sommelier and front of house enhance the experience wonderfully and the wine pairings are a must.

Booked for Thursdau night with a friend. Five courses but with a couple of surprises, and tried the wine pairing. The amazing thing was every single dish was great, not a single one that was 'just ok', which is what I tend to find in most tasting menus. My personal favorite was the lamb rack main, but it was a very difficult choice. The starter scallop was particularly amazing because of the tomato essence which was highly unusual and exceptionally good. I ahould also mention that the chefs were very good about explaining the menu but the front of staff were great - Aidan and Esme were lovely and funny and answered all our questions patiently. Very very highly recommended.

This is an exceptional culinary experience that is intimate, and atmospheric with next-level food and wine. The Selby brothers were great 'hosts' and if it wasn't so difficult to get a booking I would go back all the time!

What a fantastic experience Luke, his 2 brothers and service staff give you in this 12 seater theatre of all things food and wine. From start to finish the whole experience was relaxed and exceptional and all on the day the restaurant received its first...

This must rate as one of the best meals we have had. Whatever fantastic reviews of this restaurant you have read, believe them. It's extremely intimate with only 10 covers around a counter behind which the chefs cook up their magic as you watch and...

Tasting menu - really special and fantastic service. Price reasonable for the experience. Highly recommend this restaurant.

One of the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Full immersive experience, amazing food, banging playlist, interesting wine pairing choice. Nothing you could do better. The essence of what a restaurant should be. Definitely Michelin starS level. Thank you

It's comfortably up there in top 5 all time restaurants. The food is wonderful and there's a few surprise dishes which I won't post pictures of to try and keep it that way.. Difficult to pin point a stand out when every dish had something...

We so enjoyed our diner here last time that we thought we would take our daughter & son in law to enjoy what we hoped would be another fantastic meal. It is always a bit worrying to take guests to a restaurant which you have...

The best food I’ve had in London. Great vibes and atmosphere. It’s amazing to watch the brothers’ mastery at work.

What an experience! Incredible clean, fresh flavours significantly bigger and better balanced than many a 1* restaurant (and some 2*’s) we’ve been to. The Selby brothers are great - calm, collected and focused delivering exceptional dishes with a smile and a laugh here and there....

My fiancée and I dinned at Evelyn’s table last night and wow what a night, what an amazing experience, what amazing food and what amazing guys the Selby brothers really are, as are the rest of the team in the restaurant and bars above. From...

5 out of 5 experience and couldn’t suggest highly enough. Please go and visit before they get their star (I’m predicting this year) extremely reasonable £60 food and additional £60 wine pairing both worth every penny. If you can get in, book it.

We went to Evelyns Table last night with another couple. Having booked this before lockdown, we were really looking forward to it and it didn't disappoint. The entrance to the building is a little off putting as you enter through a noisy pub on the...

The most inventive and delicious plates of food. Particular highlights included the melt-off-the-bone lamb bao bun, the tender venison and parsnip donut. I wish I could have it all again. The culinary highlight of our year. Interesting wine list too - a great mix of...
