My wife and I love the all-round experience when visiting Galvin La Chapelle. We're always made welcome from the moment we arrive until the moment of departure. And, of course, the food and drink are sublime! It's our favourite restaurant by a country mile.

Sunday lunch Service friendly although we missed out on free tasters before our meal, every other table received theirs. All three courses were delicious for both my wife and I. Drinks ridiculously expensive Wine list also expensive. A hefty 14.5% service charge added to your bill only adds to an eye-watering bill. A very nice establishment but no sense of reality in regards to pricing. The restaurant told it's own story it was only half full.

We had a fantastic meal, the food was amazing and the service first class. It’s been six years since I last visited and I wasn’t disappointed. The wild mushroom starter was the star today but everything was wonderful. Remains my favourite restaurant.

Only disappointing aspect was that we were sat at the very uncomfortable bench seating table where it was not ideal to sit opposite each other for comfortable private conversations. There were many tables unoccupied and I would have appreciated if better table (best at the time) was offered. Apart from that we appreciate the food the service and the surrounding.

We were bitterly disappointed by the experience the food was at best average but the service was second rate we arrived at our table at 7.30 and received our last course at 11.40, our waitress managed to forget the extra course we ordered and got one of our friends sweet course wrong, not what you expect from a Michelin Star Restaurant

Food is beautiful in lovely surroundings but a little too squashed, too many people in a tight space. However the food outweighs that. I was in the bistro part of La Chapelle

Beautiful setting in an old converted church, very attentive service and lovely Sunday lunch. Would've enjoyed some roast options as it's a Sunday lunch, but nonetheless our group had a lovely time for a birthday lunch - the team brought a dessert with candle and Happy Birthday plaque which was perfect.

I have been a few times to this restaurant but the price was crazy and I hated the main course (a whole shared duck) and so did my guest. Only French people can cope with a huge hunk of under-cooked meat like that . Not one for the London market

I suggested to a friend that we eat at Galvin La Chapelle as the food is generally great, wine list impressive and service wonderful. Sadly, only two out of three happened this time. I was running a few minutes late and didn't know if my friend had booked the bistro or the restaurant. I popped my head in the bistro and saw my friend wasn't there so mentioned to the manager that he wasn't there and I would pop through the connecting 1 metre corridor between the bistro and restaurant to find him. Her reaction was one of disgust and told me under no circumstances could I walk through. I told her that we had a booking and that my friend was just 1 metre away. She told me she didn't know who I was and that I would have to exit the bistro, walk outside and around the front entrance of the building, back through the main entrance, through the restautant to the spot 1 metre away then look for my friend that way. I look slightly perplexed (made worse by the fact that that he was sat 1 metre away with his back to the bistro wall) and followed the slightly ridiculous instructions. The meal itself was lovely. We had the tasting menu and a really great bordeaux. The manager of the restaurant was extremely apologetic when he heard and was surprised that the bistro manager hadn't just popped through the 1 metre corridor to check herself. Anyway, unlikely I'll be suggesting here again for meetings or friends lunches despite having spent several thousands of pounds here over the years. Very short sighted customer service.

A little bit overpriced, but it’s a star Michelin restaurant in London so it was expected. We had the 7 dishes menu, which was very good! Specially the fish, the mushrooms and the chocolate dessert with an original spicy touch. I didn’t enjoy that much the boudin, but it’s very personal. 😊😊😊

One of the great restaurant spaces in London, and my wife's absolutely favourite restaurant. The room is stunning, a beautiful conversion. The food is brilliant. Extensive wine list which obviously gets very pricey at the high end, but on my last visit, still had a very nice wine at £21 - very reasonable for a Michelin starred restaurant. You can go A La Carte and spend quite a lot of money, or you enjoy this fabulous restaurant for quite reasonable prices by: a) Booking the restricted set menu. Not so much choice, but the food is just as good and mostly a la carte selections. Generally available for lunch, but often also available in the evenings - look out for offers of the set menu plus a glass of champagne - brilliant value. b) Booking for Sunday lunch - absolutely superb, and amazing value If, like us, you are hooked, then you can join their 'frequent eater' scheme by getting a Galvin card and get points for your spend at all Galvin restaurants. There's 4 or 5 in London, 2 in Edinburgh plus 1 in Kent, I think, but this may be out of date by the time you read this. We always go there when we go to London. Update: better than ever, the fillet Rossini was wonderful. Update: as good as ever.

For my birthday I was gifted the Three Course MICHELIN Starred Set Menu with Bubbles for Two at Galvin La Chapelle. A special occasion turned out to be a terrible experience. When we arrived we were sectioned to a corner where all voucher people ate. They sat us down and then said they will bring bubbles on arrival as part of the voucher. We waited and waited watching other people who came after us receive this. We politely requested for ours, waited another 20mins to receive it. The service was chaotic and made us feel on edge the whole time. I could see them bickering in the background. We ordered our wine, with some difficulty with the 'sommelier' bring over differing bottles than the one ordered. We finally got our bottle after we had finished our starters.. So hardly had any time to savour the taste of it. Normally at a restaurant of this price point, the food would have been explained to you - where it's sourced, what's it served with etc. This was not the case at Galvin. The food was just places down in front of us. To make matters worse, the mains were lukewarm at best. I've never written a review but this experience compelled me to. A generous gift ended up being a waste of money. To our shock we also had to pay 14.5% service on top of the voucher. For service of this quality, we should have asked to have it taken off but this wasn't an option as the waiter rushed over to receive our payment before we could even fathom the receipt. All and all this was pretty disappointing, and we don't think it was worth the price or 'reputation'.

We used to love this place pre-Covid but please steer clear away from it if you don’t want to get food poisoning like us - and on our anniversary as well. What is the most disappointing was despite the fact that my husband informed them in advance, they didn’t even write “happy anniversary” on our dessert whereas the table next to us had a birthday and they got a special dessert with candle as well. The front staff greeted and congratulated us when we walked in so we know for sure they didn’t “forget” it. I never wrote any bad reviews as a restaurant owner myself but we have emailed the restaurant about the food’s problem right after we got home but in their reply they completely ignored the fact that we both had stomach cramps and diarrhoea immediately after we ate and didn’t even go away to investigate or compensate us. Please stay away from this place, their customer service really doesn’t match the price tag. What a disappointment!

Fine dining is not something I'm particularly accustomed to but I've been lucky enough to eat at Galvin La Chapelle twice now. Both experiences have been a real treat. The building is stunning and steeped in history. The staff are professional, friendly and attentive. The food is amazing. I was advised, by a member of our group who had dined here before, to not focus too much on individual ingredients that I might tend to avoid (due to not liking them) and trust that everything on the menu tastes great. They were not wrong. The depth and flavour of all of the dishes was so stimulating. An absolute treat to dine here and an experience to remember.

Beautiful restaurant with ambience. A very old school hall, apparently. Adorned with beautiful lighting and NO load music. Perfect. Service was polite, attentive and very considerate towards a number of food allergies that were presented on arrival. Nothing was an issue and all dishes could be adapted successfully. Great variety, and the best meal out in a long time.

We got the 7 course tasting menu, was a gift from my boyfriend - my first time trying a Michelin star restaurant and I had the best experience. Everything on the menu was lovely but the red mullet was just out of the world - I checked with the waiter and apparently clams, wine and nori oil had gone into the sauce. Boyfriend liked the duck the most. We had tea and coffee afterwards, it came with small bites, for 7£ each it was very worth it. Ambience was also lovely, it felt cosy and thoughtful without being overtly swanky. Great service as well. 10/10 would definitely visit again.

We went here for our wedding anniversary and it was an extraordinary experience. Great ambience. They had a seven/five courses vegetarian menu. We went for seven courses and thoroughly enjoyed each and every course that was served. We did the wine pairing as well. The guy was quite knowledgable and knew his wines very well. The desert we thought was okayish and could have been better. Overall we really enjoyed the experience.

Our experience at Galvin la Chapelle, a distinguished one-star Michelin restaurant, was nothing short of exceptional. Choosing the 5-course menu proved to be a delightful journey through well-crafted dishes that showcased the chef's expertise. The picturesque setting of the restaurant added a touch of magic to our dining experience, making it memorable. The service at Galvin la Chapelle was truly outstanding—attentive, warm, and embodying a level of hospitality that elevated the entire evening. Every course, except for the dessert, which leaned a bit too heavily on chocolate for our taste, was a culinary masterpiece. We wholeheartedly recommend Galvin la Chapelle. The price-to-performance ratio is excellent, and we look forward to returning for another remarkable dining experience.

In a word it was okay. Nothing special and overall we came away underwhelmed. Poor drinks selection in respect of Gin and Bourbon and only citrus garnish. Not acceptable for a venue such as this. "Signature" tarte tatin was okay. It didn't wow. Starters were v.good in particular the crab raviolo The mains were again okay. They didn't wow and given expectations they disappointed. Staff were pleasant and attentive but didn't know their cheese selections. Overall enjoyed evening, didn't come away raving and felt slight disappointed when we consider vs other venues visited and quite poor value for money. Deapitw the stunning venue... Wouldn't return

As regular visitors to the Galvin next to where we live (in the Kimpton Hotel), we were looking forward to dining here, given the excellent reviews, and strong rating. The restaurant itself is lovely, the service was excellent and we were very well taken care of by the sommelier and a couple of wait-staff. Two aspects of the experience were disappointing, and would probably mean we would not return: 1.) I ordered the Beef Fillet Rossini, which didn't seem to come with any vegetables. I asked if I could order a side of vegetables, to be told that the only available additional sides were either mushrooms or potatoes. Two of the other dishes on the menu were listed as coming with Cavolo Nero, so I asked if I could have a side of that, to be told no. I cannot believe that the kitchen does not contain any vegetables, to be able to provide a side portion of veg. I instead said I would have the mushrooms as a side, which came in at a strong £11.50. 2.) My partner also ordered the Beef Fillet, she was told "the chef advises that this is served medium/rare", she asked for it to be cooked medium. What was delivered was more like well done (possibly medium/well at a push), but was probably the most cooked I have ever seen a fillet steak in a restaurant. I find it hard to believe that a Michelin accredited chef is unable to cook a steak to a desired level, so this seemed bizarre. The waiter obviously said that they could take it away and provide a new one but, given I was half-way through eating, this would have ruined the enjoyment of our experience as we would have then eaten separately. Due to the disappointment of the main course, we opted to forego dessert and go elsewhere for a nightcap. To rectify the above, the waiter offered that the first round of drinks were removed from the bill, though only 1 drink was removed when I checked the bill later on at home (I am not sure if this was intentional or not). My beef was delicious and, as I said above, the service was exemplary - the issues we had were no fault of any member of staff we were served by. I think perhaps they prefer guests to order the tasting menu, rather than a la carte.

From the get go everyone was warm and welcoming. The food was amazing from start to end, if i could give it more than 5 stars I would, service was impeccable and attentive. Considering they had a private function going on upstairs, everything was running smoothly and we felt catered to regardless. The spicy margaritas was our go to drink that evening, so huge shoutout to our bartender. Definitely coming back again. Thank you for an amazing birthday!

We came here for our anniversary meal. The waiter, atmosphere and service were amazing. We also enjoyed the food. We could talk and the restaurant wasn’t too noisy or too quiet. The amuse-bouche was a sweet gesture but the cracker was soaked with the parsnip puree on top and cracked all over my cutlery (but the seaweed powder had good flavour). The gnocchi was good, the sauces were nice but it didn’t knock me off my socks. Two gnocchis had only a floury taste whereas the other two had a very pungent cheese flavour. The pumpkin risotto was sweet and a very unusual flavour combination with the sour camembert sauce. The truffle added a beautiful aesthetic to the plate albeit not much, if any flavour to the dish. I personally do not think it warranted £55 (especially considering that the rice in some parts was too al dente). We really appreciate that our waiter had explained this to us before ordering our meal and so we expected our food to be on the sweeter side. The Christmas pudding was fabulous. The attentiveness of the waiter and the extra anniversary chocolate and delight they gave was superb. We are very appreciate of this. The coffee was also very tasty. The creme brûlée was salty and not to our taste but if you prefer savoury desserts, then this might be for you. The bread was ok. The salted butter was delicious. The attentiveness of the waiters was spectacular - they warned us that their homemade butter had anchovies and placed it next to my partner and away from my side of the table. We were very impressed by this. The cocktails and sparkling water were both lovely. I would have preferred the table crumbs being cleaned more often as I found myself cleaning them off the table in between but our main waiter did attend to our table and clean the crumbs after our mains which was a lovely touch. Although we did not request them to or complain about the creme brûlée, the lovely waiter as a kind gesture removed it from our bill since we did not enjoy our dish which was beautiful attentiveness and he went above and beyond our expectations. Overall, I would definitely recommend to experience dining here at least once! We will definitely be back in the future (if not for mains then for desserts and coffee). It is important to note that I did try one bite of my partners beef and it was divine. Maybe next time I will go for the beef option! Thank you to the chefs, waiters and all the lovely staff for our wonderful experience :)

An amazing and delicious culinary experience. The restaurant is stunning and the service is as good as it can get. They accommodated to all of our dietary requirements and went above and beyond. The Gnocchi to start was well balanced, hints of sweet and savoury flavours, great acidity and a perfect crunch. The Beef Fillet Rossini was cooked to perfection, the oyster emulsion elevated the dish and the gratin was just perfect. I opted for the Truffle Creme Brûlée for dessert, however it wasn’t to my taste as it was too savoury. However the consistency of the custard, and the caramel crunch was textbook. Kindly without request they removed the creme brûlée from the bill as the staff noticed that I didn’t finish my dessert. Overall it was a true moment to remember from the drinks to the amuse-bouche, the food and whole experience was faultless.

J’ai adoré la manière dont s’est déroulé le service, nos serveurs étaient très attentionnés et réactifs. Merci à eux qui ont rendu cette soirée agréable. En ce qui concerne la nourriture, nous ne sommes malheureusement pas au niveau d’une étoile Michelin. J’ai prit une entrée au foie gras re visité en mousse, j’ai une préférence pour le vrai foie gras mais c’était une expérience. J’ai mangé ensuite un cabillaud accompagné de quelques légumes, de truffes et d’une galette de pomme de terre avec 2 sauces qui s’entrechoquées. C’était malgré tout très sec, le cabillaud est un poisson qui a besoin de plus de sauce à mon goût. Quant à la galette de pomme de terre, normalement c’est agréable d’avoir ce côté croustillant dans l’assiette, mais étant donné qu’elle est placée dans les deux sauces sous le poisson, elle en devient à moitié molle et imbibée de plusieurs choses, ce n’est pas très agréable à manger. Je suis restée sur ma faim.

We had a Buyagift voucher for a "traditional Sunday roast" - I am attaching a photo of the menu, from which you will see there was nothing "traditional" about it at all. The food was not to our taste, quite small in portion size and, apart from the potatoes, my main course was cold (my husband's, and that of the couple of the next table, was ;uke warm). As the food was doing nothing for me, I didn't send it back, although I did mention it to the member of staff who enquired if there was a problem when removing my plate. As a plus, all the staff were extremely charming. The wines are very expensive. We paid £62 for a bottle of Pinot Grigio and that was one of the cheapest wines in the list. The chapel is beautiful, but, paying that sort of money, I do expect good food and of an acceptable temperature, so was very disappointed and, sadly, we won't be going back.

We were also given some lovely fresh brown seeded bread and an appetiser which was actually my second favourite thing of the evening. Service was attentive but not at all stuffy or overbearing. My only criticism were that the toilets could have done with a little attention. But overall lovely.

Great experience! Service is good, the waiter is very friendly and explained on any ingredients of the dishes. They are also very attended to detail that they noticed and cleaned the bread crumbs I spreaded over the table. Food is also great. I like the Christmas pudding dessert the most. It has great texture with mascarpone and coffee ice-cream. The restaurant is not too noisy even it is full and there is adequate space between each tables. I definitely will visit again with my family next time!

From start to end everything was perfect, the welcome, the food, the waiters and atmosphere. For a 5 course meal, we felt the dessert to be the least favourite. Perhaps it was the richness of it, which felt overbearing. The one thing that truly was a let down, and for a Michelin experience not quite acceptable - were the toilets. There was a terrible terrible rank smell in the toilets which was just awful. They were clean but smelled. So for this reason I'm marking it down and giving it a 4 star.

The staff were extremely welcoming and polite. It was my girlfriends birthday and they all wished her a happy birthday, which was lovely. Impeccable service and exquisite food. We loved it, a very special night.

Gem of a restaurant that has left us delighted and impressed with its exceptional tasting menu, exquisite wine pairings, and top-notch service. From start to finish, our dining experience at Galvin Chapelle was nothing short of extraordinary. Returned for a second visit but didn't feel as welcome as on the first visit.

What a wonderful lunch experience. The food was delicious and service top notch. The portion sizes were perfect for the set course menu (just mentioning this as I saw some other reviews noting ridiculously small portion sizes, but that is not the case). A must visit in the area!

I made my reservation under the $48 3-course with bubbles menu. While ordering, I was told there was no such option and I felt obligated to order the $110 5-course tasting menu. The food was great though not amazing for the price. However, what made me extremely furious was that the couple sitting next to me ordered the $48 3-course menu 10 minutes after I placed my order. I felt SCAMMED by the restaurant. I communicated with the host after finishing my meal and I was told the couple next to me used a special voucher for the VEGETARIAN 3 course menu. That was totally not true as the couple ordered ox cheek and foie gras. Due to this experience, I would not recommend anyone to come here. The restaurant is DISHONEST and completely ruined my London travel experience.

Well overpriced French restaurant with average food and total bill for 2 people was more than £220. Not surprisingly, food portions were quite small and a bit bland. Plenty of choice of wines and cheese but you are allowed only 5 slithers of different, types of cheese with 5 cheese crackers. If you're super hungry you may need to stop over at chippy or kebab shop.

Een bijzondere plek dichtbij Liverpool street Station. Een restaurant in een oude meisjesschool dat wat meer weg heeft van een kapel. Het eten was mooi opgediend en smaakvol. Prachtige ambiance met hulpvaardig en zeer vriendelijk personeel. De klasse was merkbaar en we gingen voor het vieren van verjaardagen. Met 5 personen.

I felt offensive the way your reception talks. I wear same clothes to other MICHELIN restaurants if that is what you hint about. Very uncomfortable experience and I also felt it’s racism because you let people wearing jeans in. Thank you for a disgusting weekend.

I have eaten here many times over the 15 years and it has remained consistently excellent and fully deserving of its star. The soufflé they make remains my favourite ever dessert. The service is run with precision and attention to detail but with an abundance of charm.

I used to go here a fair bit on their early evening, weekday Prix Fixe menus which were good value. I hadn't been for a few years and I was tempted by their Summer Set Menu. A few items weren't suitable for my friend and when I popped into the Bistrot to ask about this they never got back to me. We reviewed the new Autumn one and it looked great for both of us. This menu has to be booked in advance and there are only certain slots available. We eventually found a time that worked for us. The food was excellent. The risotto had a lot of texture without being under cooked. The mushroom with the beef dish had a remarkably powerful flavour. The sauces were all exceptional, I don't think I left a smidgen. Tarte tatin was as good as you get although I should have asked if they'd substitute the creme fraiche as I've never loved this stuff. I still wanted seconds!! Bread was fine and more was offered. I liked the inclusion of the tea and coffee, so many places put emphasis on a good value offer and then try and get you with an expensive post meal drink. The size of the dishes would work well for me for a lunch but for me (and my friend) it was too small for a typical evening meal, I think it needs an extra dish or a little portion inflation for the evening version. The service was as good as you would expect. There's matched wine pairings for 32 pounds which we took up, three wines and a sherry - a very good option. The sommelier was generous with his time and gave a lot of background information on the wine. An informative and enjoyable lesson. The included service is 14.5%. It's interesting to see how this is changing across London. Given it's 15% over at Ramsay's Burger joints I can't complain.

Everything was amazing, the building is stunning with high ceilings. The staff is kind and very attentive and the food was delicious. The menu is quite expensive but I totally recommend it as an experience not for a basic lunch/dinner.
