Xier in City of London, Westminster

Really lovely food here and amazing staff. Shame it has closed but the memory will live forever. Thank you for everything. The tasting menu and the wine was to die for.

Dua, the welcoming hostess welcomes you with a smile as the community comes by for a casual drink a mulled wine or delicious pasta with truffle in XR restaurant below. groups of people toast with champagne, the music is upbeat so Imagine our surprise when she said that there was a beautiful elegant restaurant upstairs with a special tasting menu. We took a risk and booked it for our anniversary thinking if we trusted her halfway it would be a great time. We were welcomed like discreet royalty, making us wonder if it was just because of our anniversary. Valentina and Pavol (Our waiters) and our sommelier fawned all over us. They treated all the guests just as graciously and the experience was perfectly timed and sized for all 10(!) courses. the decor as elegant and understated and instantly we were transformed to a beautiful high end gem tucked away in Marylebone. the portions were well sized and it was quite innovative. Its a lovely mix of favorites like foie gras along with modern takes like the "Kiss" you do for a course. If you are looking for a traditional roast, or a large steak this is not your place. As foodies, my husband and I really appreciated that thought that the chef and global influence the courses have. We were fortunate enough to see the kitchen, meet the chef and learned firsthand the passion the entire team has to deliver a great experience for the guests. To the person. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will be back to soon.

Reservé un cumpleaños increíble para mi pareja. Debido a Covid, no hemos podido celebrar con familiares y amigos. Necesitaba hacerlo memorable y he tenido mucho éxito. El ambiente y la calidad de la comida supera mis expectativas. Algunos platos son explicados y preparados por chefs que crean la atracción. Muy recomendable ?

Ingredientes no triviales combinados creativamente, sabrosos, cocinados y presentados con destreza. Servicio de alto nivel en un ambiente íntimo y relajado. Una de las mejores experiencias gastronómicas de Londres para mí. 10/10

There are ten courses and all of them were a pleasant surprise! I especially like the grape and cheese fish which is unconventional! The black cod was also perfectly cooked! Excellent service as well! We will be back!

Great service and a lovely setting for the first floor restaurant, with large, well-spaced tables and attentive service. Food (with the exception of the palate cleanser, which tasted like zoflora), was creative and beautifully presented. But, portions were just too small for me, although deserts were plentiful - but too sugary for my taste.

Xier is a restaurant that thinks it’s way better than it is. Don’t get me wrong the food taste pretty good for the most part. But the portions are so small they come across as stingy and the presentation tries so hard to be different it comes across as ridiculous. Example 1: being instructed which hand to pick up a smokey glass rectangle and to “kiss” a tomatoey purée from it then nibble fresh herbs (held in the other hand in case you were wondering what to do) in between each “kiss”. Example 2: A huge bowl of “smoking” seaweed in dry ice to accompany the fish course is dramatically placed on the table. My dining partner, who’s vegetarian, loves seaweed and starts tucking in until a worried waiter tells her “no madame you’re not supposed to eat it”. Despite their petiteness the black cod and beef cheek dishes were stand out for me - a variety of textures and packed with flavour as were the lemon based petit four. The numerous staff were attentive but with a forced friendliness rather than a natural warmth. They seemed slightly on edge. We were asked rather a lot if we were enjoying it but they didn’t seem genuinely interested that I found the soup (“fermented red cabbage tea”) with the cheesy gyoza too sweet, almost like cordial, or that the chestnut dessert was a bit claggy and the banana ice-cream tasted kinda “green” like they’d used unripe bananas. Strangely the desserts were too big - even taking in to account that they were meant to be shared! The restaurant itself is over a few floors - a beachy beige & white theme throughout with hints of turquoise. It was very brightly lit which made me think of a canteen fleetingly although the arm-chairs were classy yet comfy. Indistinguishable jazzy instrumentals were playing just quiet enough not to be intrusive. The bill came to just under £300 which despite us having 10 (miniature) courses and a bottle of champagne did not seem value for money. We didn’t realise the vegetarian menu was £90 - the same price as the standard tasting menu - or that the service charge was 13% as opposed to the standard 12.5 until after we’d left! Having admired Xier’s Instagram feed (it’s stunning) for some time I glad I went but won’t be returning.

I have been very impressed by the impeccable service, courtesy, warmth and knowledge of the whole team. We have enjoyed the experience immensely! I heard about the legend of Chef Carlo but the pleasure of experiencing his tasting menu is a reality. The head sommelier Filippo recommended us some amazing wines pairing which elevated the whole experience. We were the very last to leave the restaurant! Xier is an incredible destination! thank you to every people who have participated to make this night totally memorable for me!

I've been to the restaurant a couple of times now, both upstairs in the 'fine dining' area and downstairs in the more casual dining. The food is absolutely amazing, the service impeccable and the attention to detail is second to none. Particularly worth visiting XR (upstairs) for the set course menu - the experience is priceless. I tried only the lunch menu so far, but I'll be back for the evening for the 10 course menu! Can't praise the food more. Recommended!

From beginning to the end - Xier left no stone unturned. The new set menu showcases 10 courses and we went for dinner last Thursday to celebrate a birthday. The French Kiss - a brand new dish which left us all conversating about the vibrant flavours. Standout dish was the Beef - and also the service that went with it. 10/10 for Xier and i will be back.

Had a really good experience here - as soon as I walked through the door, staff were friendly and attentive. Waiter gave me an excellent wine recommendation and the food was beyond expectations!

The whole experience at Xier is fantastic. Service is really welcoming, friendly and made us feel both special and at home quickly. 10 courses sounds like a lot but the portion sizes were perfect throughout, nothing was too heavy but every dish was still satisfying. There were some interesting flavour combinations that I hadn't before that worked really well. Some of the food here is a little different, but it isn't done for difference's sake; it's clearly carefully thought out but ultimately aims to make really delicious delicate plates. It's very successful. The bread was joyous, the crust perfect and the smoked butter was superb. Cocktails are excellent... Basically there's pretty much nothing here that isn't spot on. For £90 you get a really good value meal compared with some of the other top local restaurants, and Xier beats a lot of them hands down.

Visited Xier last night for the 10 course tasting menu and it was incredible from start to finish. Each dish was presented beautifully and the flavour combinations were so different to anything I’ve tried before, so inventive. Every course was delicious, right down to the freshly baked warm bread with smokey butter, but highlight was the rose cured salmon with foie gras as well as the black cod in caramel miso with fig sorbet, and the pigeon with beetroot. Desserts were exquisite too, and service was perfect. Portion size was spot on so despite the ten courses left feeling full but comfortably so. The restaurant also has a great cocktail list (had the Ray of Sunshine which was delicious) and the sommelier’s wine recommendations were excellent. Would highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back!

Visited Xier last night with friends and tried the 9 course tasting menu. The service was impeccable and every course amazing. Look forward to revisiting soon - very highly recommended.

Myself and my partner visited Xier last night for our anniversary and were more than impressed. The food not only tasted amazing, but the presentation was superb with well-thought out flavours, and great wine and cocktail pairings, chosen by the sommelier. Our meal started with...

Food and service maybe as per the reviews but pls note that staff are paid minimum wage and the service as charged on your bill goes straight to the restaurant not distributed amongst the staff.!!! Other than that no complaints.

Went to Xier last night for the 10-course tasting menu and wow, wow, wow! Each course was not only beautifully presented but featured unusual flavour pairings and top notch ingredients as well as tasting amazing. The sommelier choice of paired wines using lesser known producers...

Recommended by my son who lives in London. The first impression was that the decoration was clean and have a nice touch. We were greeted by politely by the staff at the door and leaded us to second floor, the menu was simple, only tasting...

Great Atmosphere, Delicious food (highly recommend the Harrissa Chicken and Lamb Sliders) and absolutely beautiful cocktails! Unbeaten dining experience!

Dined at Xier tonight; absolutely outstanding service- very polite and attentive staff. Some interesting and highly flavourful dishes on the menu; with some nice options for vegetarians. The bread and dip which comes as a starter was one of the best dips we've had. The...

All ten courses were excellent - difficult to pick a favourite. The bread and choice of two butters were equally fine. Decor, ambience, and service all combined to make the experience feel special (which you’d expect at this price point). The pallet-cleanser to kick things...

I am giving two stars just only because the staff were extremely attentive. As for the food, it was extremely disappointing. The soup felt like torture to endure and that is coming from someone who loves mushroom. The pairing of the dishes was awful and...

Words can’t describe how amazing this dinner was - probably the best we have had in our lives so far. A total food heaven. Each course was an explosion of amazing flavors, there was so much attention to detail and the team made us feel...

Great service, amazing food and very nice atmosphere. Definitely a place to eat when in London. We went by a day before for wine and decided to do a reservation for Saturday night. Best decision ever!

The 10-course taster menu was wonderful, an absolute treat from beginning to end. Hard to imagine anyone finding there to be too little of it, individually the courses were small but I was stuffed by the end of the meal. Service was impeccable. However, the...

My wife, my brother-in-law and I had the most extraordinary meal last night in Xier; from sitting down to walking out of the place, it was well night perfect. Each course was so inventive, so imaginative, so deliciously enticing and gorgeous that I had shivers...

I visited Xier with 5 friends to have the 10 course tasting menu with wine/cocktail pairing. The entire experience was transcendent. From the exceptional level of service, to the high quality of the food itself, my whole group were impressed with the restaurant as a...

I had the most wonderful evenings in this place. They’ve thought about absolutely everything, the entire experience From A-Z has been carefully planned to ensure that you’re comfortable, happy and satisfied and you can really tell. The staff are so attentive and polite, they couldn’t...

After an aborted visit to a local new place where we left before eating, we decided to give this new restaurant a try for Saturday lunch. And were well rewarded. A mixture of menus and a la carte, we tried a la carte and had...

What a wonderful experience, I can't wait to go back. The food is sublime. Beautifully presented, full of intense and interesting flavour, perfectly balanced and seasoned. Excellent and extensive wine list and a really knowledgeable and friendly sommelier to help you navigate through it, his...

Enter these doors if you’re serious about food, and not just looking for the next “experience “ Don’t know about you, but. I require a chef to be be passionate about what he and team presents to the table from the minute I step through...

Ate at Xier with friends following the great reviews. The tasting menu was a delight, each course was small and perfectly formed. The staff were very attentive and we felt well looked after. Overall this was a very enjoyable meal and I would definitely recommend...

Tasting menu, each course small but perfectly formed.Rich yet clean, lightness of touch with subtle yet detectable notes of fragrances and herbs in each dish. Visually stunning plates of magic. I could not fault any of it. The service is the best I have ever...

It felt like an adventure of food. It’s hard to know where to start but the tasting menu was really very good. The service is first class; friendly, with style. I can’t wait to return.

The food was nice, but so little of it! - extensive wine list which was very impressive although very time consuming. There are 2 elements to this restaurant upstairs called XR (only the tasting menu is on offer) and Xier (the fine dining on the...

Four of us dined in the XR area of the restaurant. We enjoy socialising of an evening and grazing through menus. This we did.We shared seven of the 8 starters and three of the deserts. All the food was delicious and freshly prepared. Where the...

Heard of Xier on social media and we decided to go for a meal there. We ordered from the tasting menu.. It is one of the finest fine dining experience ever. The ambience, music , attention to details from the crisp linen white table cloth...

My partner and myself went for late lunch at this newly opened restaurant just off Marylebone street. The experience was not enjoyable at all- they tried too hard to be a fine dining restaurant but truly are not. Waiters were not properly trained for this...

I visited this restaurant with my friends in March and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed! All the dishes were beautifully presented and they tasted brilliant. The ingredients used were very different and all the flavours complimented each other. The hazelnut choux pastry...

It’s a restaurant of two halves, a fine dining venue called Xier with £90 tasting menus upstairs opening later in the year; on the ground floor an abbreviated a la carte tapas-y menu in the abbreviated XR. It’s all a bit pretentious. Super-attentive waiting staff....
