Lovely building, good atmosphere, very tasty food and very attentive service, can't fault it in any way, in fact, it was a very enjoyable lunch. Moreover, my husband was made to feel special as we had mentioned it was his birthday! Definitely recommend it and we will be back ...

Outstanding restaurant, the food is great and well presented (sunday menu). As other reviews state the staff are very friendly and attentive without being overbearing, I find at restaurants of these calibre staff interaction is over top to the point it's uncomfortable. This however was well done. While I cant speak for the full tasting menus/ others. My experience left me keen to come back and try.

Galvin la Chapelle does not disappoint. When you enter, you are welcomed by smart, confident staff and are immediately immersed in an understated professional environment. Once seated, the service team take over seamlessly, drinks orders taken, menus provided - concise explanations of the format and content given. Through the service we did not feel rushed, nor neglected at any point - glasses always refilled before empty, Giles and the team looked after us famously today! Most importantly, every dish was delicious - from amuse-bouche through to dessert and cheese. My tarte-tatin was simply stunning. It is over 15 years since we first ate here, and the restaurant has been consistently excellent every time we have been, and we will undoubtedly visit again!!

Huge disappointment for us. Nice location and professional service, but the food was not worthy. Compared to other restaurants in that price range and with that rating, Galvin la Chappelle couldn't even get close. There was no finesse in the dishes, everything was just a regular dish with improved arrangement and some truffle or so on top. The taste was ok, but I would expect that in any restaurant. We sadly can't recommend, although a lot of people seem to like it, so maybe it's just us.

The staff were professional knowledgable and attentive, Food was amazing, my partner chose the crab Ravioli starter followed by the cod,both of which were sublime, I started with a mushroom based dish followed by venison that were cooked perfectly and everything was beautifully presented. We finished with the signature Tarte Tatin. I would definitely recommend. Thanks to all the staff for giving us a lovely memorable experience. Alan

Food was okay, expected a lot more as I’ve eaten in other Michelin star restaurants that were far better. The 3 course and fizz voucher is a con, we didn’t receive the drink and all of the best dishes are either £15 or £25 extra. Ended up paying around £210 for a very average meal.

All in all, unfortunately a disappointment. I expected more. The quality of the food was certainly very good, but there was not enough inspiration and creativity on the plate. Surprising flavors and consistencies on the plate? Unfortunately none. You can expect good craftsmanship and that's what you get. But for one star and the price I expect more than good craftsmanship. The wine selection wasn't right. The wines were just right, but again better average, nothing exceptional. The service was the highlight. Very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately it was also quite cold, hence the deductions for the ambience. My conclusion: Unfortunately not again for the price quoted.

My wife treated me to a lovely meal here on Friday. We opted for the 7 course tasting menu and I really could not fault it. Each course was presented perfectly and delicious. The servers were all great and hats off to one who noted my wife uses her cutlery the other way round ( i forgot his nsme ) Attention to detail. That’s only ever happened once before in The Fat Duck. By the time the 7th course arrived we were pretty full up but we had a go. The setting of the restaurant was in an old school and it looked lovely. Thank you to all team at Galvin La Chappele for making our evening perfect in everyway.

Galvin is a stalwart of French cooking in London, and offers one of the best vfm set menu experiences. I went to try the Taste Of Summer menu. We started with a gazpacho, followed by sauteed squid, and a deconstructed cassoulet for the main course, with dessert courses coming after. I liked all the courses with the cassoulet and the lemon tart being the highlights, and the squid being the lowlight. However, I did feel that the portions could have been a little bigger. Great selection of wines, and expert sommeliers to guide selection improved the dining experience . The dining room itself is monumental and worth a glance on its own.

Beautiful restaurant, good food, but amazing service. The shining star was the treatment of our children and my guests. The service was better than my last visit to Per Se. The children's offering was sophisticated in perpetration but accessible to younger palettes. My children can handle tasting menus just fine but having a children's meal available was such a nice touch. The manager noticed one of the dishes wasn't finished and inquired. Our guest was older and having a bit of trouble chewing. They were graciously offered a cheese plate which they loved. I wasn't wowed by a fish dish we had and there was a bit too much popcorn and coco on the foie gras but it was tasty all the same. The visit left a lasting positive impression and we still speak about it often which I can't say the same about other higher rated establishments we've been to. Nothing makes memories more than the treatment you receive and Galvin La Chapelle really delivered on our visit. Wonderful experience and if you're in the area I highly recommend a visit. It wasn't perfection but it was a perfect afternoon for our family. I can't wait to return next Summer.

While the service was attentive, multiple waiters made rude comments that rubbed us the wrong way. We didn’t order a lot because we had an unexpected event to attend after where we would be eating as well. When we ate our appetizers and enjoyed them, a waiter commented on how quickly we ate and stated we must be hungry. When we left behind some food in our main course which was already light (it honestly wasn’t the best tasting), a different waiter commented on how we didn’t order enough, which didn’t even make sense since we didn’t finish the dishes. I find it in extremely bad taste for anyone to comment on someone’s eating habits, especially in a judgmental way as they did. Overall, we would definitely not come back and did not enjoy our time.

Food seemed to be precooked from the previous day like every single high end restaurant in London, when it came to my table it was tasteless so I had to wash it with some water as it felt awful. Service was terrible as well with waiters ignoring our table when we were calling for them constantly. Then we heard a manager abusing one of the members of staff in the back area that could be LOUDLY heard across the hall. We went on the middle of the week and the place was not busy at all. Definetly not worth the price of the experience to have such an embarrasing display. At least we liked the hanging chandelier, very classy.

The venue is stunning, but for a restaurant with such an amazing reputation - perhaps my expectations were set too high. Galvin is lovely, it’s the sort of place you take your parents from outside of London for a special occasion. But if you are looking for an experience that makes you feel special and the food makes you stop mid sentence- this isn’t it. The service generally was good - a few different specialists attend across the sitting. However as a pregnant lady I struggled. Vegetarian does not automatically mean suitable for pregnant women and most dishes on the menu had some element of raw or unpasteurised ingredient. Having been to restaurants that cater really well for pregnant women- the Scarlet Hotel restaurant in Cornwall is seriously unparalleled in my experience to date- I found knowledge and in turn accommodation a bit limited at Galvin. When brought a vegetarian amuse bouche, no one said it was going to be covered in fresh truffle - which I would normally love, but being pregnant it’s something you could steer clear of. When I flagged I was pregnant and couldn’t have raw truffle, the gentleman told me he had never heard of pregnant women not being able to have truffle. Which is fine, but it felt like I was being told ‘it’s fine’… opposed to this being a new bit of information for the kitchen to consider. I was offered some more bread, which I was happy to have- but as some have already reviewed the bread portion is tiny to start with. Prior to this - I had asked what ‘Kohlrabi’ was, to be told ‘it’s a vegetable…if you want I can check on my phone’ which I found odd.. He did come back later with more description, that it is a root vegetable and a bit like garlic. I can check on my phone too.. but I guess for this standard of restaurant I would have expected staff to know. After this I was asked several times if there was anything they could do to accommodate, but if I am honest I had little faith they understood what would be suitable for me so just stuck with a cod main to avoid anymore awkward exchanges. It’s the little things really- I ordered a mocktail at the start of my meal, it was taken away and I was never asked again if I wanted anything else to drink. The food was probably the biggest let down, I had the Cod and the Panettone. Both were cooked well, but the flavours were nondescript. I could get over the service if the food was mind blowing, but I can honestly say restaurants without Michelin stars present more flavoursome or notable dishes.

Third visit today in a few years - first experience was exceptional, second was great, third was okay. Overall it's an enjoyable meal in a beautiful building with good service, but it's not good enough for the options at this price point in London and unfortunately I won't be returning. I've detailed the reasons below. Individually these could be ignored. But a lukewarm welcome, not explaining the process, offering a limited and verbal vegetarian menu, spilling a drink, overcharging on a bill, all for £180 for two people? In my opinion, it's just not worth it when there are so many options in London. - The entrance and exit experience feels flat, like checking in at a basic hotel. - No one was in control, nor explained what to expect. The first waiter presented a wine menu, which I explained we wouldn't need as we were having the set menu which came with wine. He seemed frustrated, and said my choice was Sauvignon blanc or garnacha. But he didn't take my wine order, this was taken later with the food menu. If I'd ordered wine and then been given the set menu, I'd be disappointed to see wine was an option. - Although the second waiter acknowledged that we were vegetarian, as we had let them know before arriving, a vegetarian menu was not provided and instead he verbally explained the vegetarian options to us, which made the menu largely redundant as all mains were meat or fish. Why not print off a few vegetarian menus? - A different waiter served us bread, and a fourth waiter took away our plates. A few times they asked the table next to us the same thing - do you want to order water when there was water on the table, asking if everything is okay when someone else asked a few minutes ago. Why are four different people serving a table of two? - I struggled to understand what some of the waiting staff were saying at times. Partly this is the acoustics of the room, partly the accents, but also partly that it feels like the staff are repeating the same process day in day out, like it's a script. I also find that there is an aloofness with some of the older waiting staff. - This is a pedantic point to raise, but when the waiter first poured our water, he spilled some on the glass and the table. It was rushed, even though it's a few seconds to do properly. - The vegetarian options were both limited in number and focus. They were effectively the meat options, without the meat. This meant one of the starters was some lentils and soup, barely five spoonfulls. The protein however wasn't replaced, which meant we left hungry. We had the exact same experience previously with the tasting menu. - Finally, we were overcharged on the bill for two bottles of water, when we only ordered the one, which I had to highlight to the waiter. As I say, all small issues. But not at this price point in a Michelin starred restaurant.

From receiving heartfelt wishes from friends and family across the globe to being treated like a queen. 🥰 This year Galvin La Chapelle gave my excitement a new heights. This exquisite Michelin-starred restaurant, nestled in the heart of London, perfectly blends old-world charm with modern elegance. Located conveniently near Liverpool Street station, the venue boasts breathtaking high stone ceilings and large arched windows, creating an ambiance that was just perfect for my birthday celebration. 🥳🎊🥂 We indulged in modern French fine dining with a delightful European influence. The glamour of the setting, combined with the vibrant yet effortless atmosphere, transported me to a world of fantastic cuisine and unmatched service. Because it was my birthday, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel like a princess. They served me personalized dishes and drinks, which left me feeling incredibly grateful.

In terms of service, I'd give an easy 9.5/10 because Giles has been incredible and friendly, he took time to have a friendly chat. In terms of food I've been specifically disappointed by one dish, the conchiglie, a bit too al dente for my taste but more importantly, pasta in a 5/7 courses Menu? It is a bit unexpected and not in the right way. For this reason, I'd give a 7/10. I expect way more from a restaurant with a high standard like this.

Unfortunately I would say that they do not deserve a Michelin rating. The ambiance is nice but very noisy. Cannot be considered as fine dining. Service isn’t good, took a while for them to give us a menu after we were seated. And not to mention the really long wait for our main course to be served. Before that even the complementary bread was mediocre and stingy. Only 2 half slices of seeded sourdough. Though they are willing to top it up, they could have presented a proper bread basket. Food was average, not worth a mention. Overall sorry, Not worth a visit.

I visited some years ago. Went for the tasting menu. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Offering a wide range of tastes and textures. The setting is jaw dropping, nothing else like it in London, and I don't know if anything like it elsewhere in the world. The ceilings are so high that on some days you can't see it due to the fog. With high windows, the restaurant floods with light whilst not having those outside looking in.

Staff were fantastic and the food was exceptional, however no draught beer ( out of gas) then did not have the first choice of wine ( white malbec) missing a trick here, then did not have our second choice of wine in stock. Our visit was thursday lunch the sommelier did not order one of the cocktails that we ordered. Again if it wasn't for the waiting staff doing such a great job , sommelier excluded we would have given a lower star rating

Great location with modern and very classic design elements. Service very friendly, attentive and relaxed. The food was very good, the main course in the menu was my personal highlight. I think it's good value for money but almost a little too expensive. All in all, highly recommended for a special occasion.

Beautiful setting, with plenty of staff, high ceilings and interesting decor. Food 4/5, some consistency challenges. Desserts acceptable at best. £200 per person for a tasting menu (5 courses), no alcohol - seems excessive. Not a Michelin grade cooking. Poor value.

Well the only real criticism I have is that it was really very expensive although the other criteria on which dining experiences are rated were positive. The first 2 wine bottle selections I made were no longer available but still on their list so minor criticisms (although irritating) lie this take on greater importance when viewed against the main criticism of poor value.

I recently dined at Galvin La Chapelle, and it was a wonderful experience. The pasta was cooked to perfection—el dente and delicious. The service was exceptional, with the two young girls at the reception being particularly lovely. Overall, Galvin La Chapelle offers fantastic food and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended!

During a business trip to London, I had dinner at Galvin La Chapelle and was fully satisfied. The location is very suggestive and the French cuisine is refined and taken care of down to the smallest details. The gazpacho, in particular, was outstanding. The friendly and attentive staff made the experience even more pleasant. Edit October 2024: I returned to Galvin for another business dinner, and if anything the experience was even better! The mushroom-based menu is delicious, and once again high level service!

The experience was amazing. The service was great. Every 5 minutes, you can see waiters looking over to check up on you. Never leaving you waiting for something. They also frequently clean your table which is a nice touch. The food was amazing. I bought the 7 course tasting menu. Each meal had a flavor that followed another and another. My favorites were the potato dish, a BBQ rib and a chocolate cake with mandarine sauce pistachio ice cream. There was also the bread they brought which came along with some amazing fish butter which combined perfectly with the bread. They have small plates to place the bread and a butter knife to use the butter. Overall a great experience, if someone is thinking of trying out this place go ahead. It'll be worth your time and money.

I spotted the Autumn menu was back and visited again with a friend. Each course was very good showing off the flavoursome mushrooms with some good textures too and the high-quality sauce making you'd expect. I don't normally get excited about fish courses but the grey mullet was surprisingly good. The venison was good and celeriac was a great companion. If the last course is a dessert then the audience will be very divided on that. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't consider it a dessert. Some excellent petit fours appeared while we discussed the dessert question accompanied by a pleasant dessert wine. At 60 pounds including a glass of (decent) cremant it's very good value. I did the matched wines for 94 in total, recommended. I particularly liked the pinot gris, never thought I'd say that. For a dinner I consider the dishes to be slightly too small even with the bread. My friend noticed a few occasional mild wafts of drain smells, this must have been subtle as they didn't reach the other side of the table. There was occasionally a bit of imprecision in the descriptions of the dishes/wines as they were delivered. I'd say it would be 5/5 without those factors.

Absolutely fabulous meal at Galvin La Chapelle. We were given a voucher for Christmas last year and finally got around to using it. We weren’t disappointed! The building is stunning inside. The staff were really friendly and very helpful, the food came quickly so we were never waiting too long for our courses. They brought us out a canapé to start with our sparkling wine. We had Duck Liver Royale and Scottish Salmon for starters, both had the sirloin for mains and and Apple tart and warm chocolate mousse for dessert. This would be a wonderful location for a special night out.

From the moment we arrived everything was spot on. The food was stunning, especially the scallops starter, staff couldn’t do enough for us. It was my partner’s birthday and he was wished happy birthday by multiple members of the team which was a very personal touch. I am coeliac and always a bit worried about dining out, however everything was taken care of and explained so I felt very safe. Beautiful setting too which made for a memorable day. We will definitely return.

Another fabulous meal. This place consistently delivers on taste, venue, and hospitality from a great team. The minute you walk through the door you are greeted by smiling faces. Turn left to the bar for the best negronis and when you’re ready turn right to be taken through the immaculate dining room, don’t forget to look up to appreciate the holy architecture! Then the food! And the wines! Divine! Looking forward to our next visit bringing some friends in a few weeks

For me, Galvin La Chapelle is the finest restaurant in London in terms of the adaptabiliy and consistent high quality of their cooking and service, and looking after their customers. We have what everywhere else considers extraordinarily difficult dietary requirements and an inconvenience, but Galvin LC appears to see them as an exciting challenge, which they always overcome to create quite beautiful food. Thank you!

4 de nosotros vinimos a compartir una botella de vino después de ir a un espectáculo cercano. Hacía tanto ruido en el interior que pedimos sentarnos fuera, después de pedir el vino en el bar. Era su casa blanca y costó £ 38 que es la botella más barata que tienen. Nos ofrecimos a sacar el vino con nosotros y dijeron que no, que alguien lo sacaría. Lo hicieron, después de lo cual lo abrieron y llenaron los cuatro vasos hasta arriba. Les pedimos que se detuvieran, ya que no todos estábamos bebiendo tanto como los demás, solo quería medio vaso mientras conducía. Pero para entonces estaba derramada. Lo redistribuimos. No nos trajeron agua ni nada más. Pedimos la factura y la pagamos - después me di cuenta de que nos habían cobrado £ 4. 75 cargos por servicio. Debería haber revisado la factura en su momento, por supuesto y tendré más cuidado la próxima vez. No volveré a ir allí.

I had emailed ahead of time as I was on a date and the hostess had reserved a table in the corner as requested and even brought a complimentary bottle of champagne. The food was lovely and the atmosphere is great. Will definitely be back!
