Tuvimos una excelente comida aquí con mi pareja, los Hommos y Kibbeh eran tan sabroso! Sin duda volveremos a probar otros platos de la selección Mezze! Gran servicio y bastante razonable (alrededor de £ 85 en total para 5 platos Mezze y 1 principal que compartimos - además de unas copas de vino).
Friendly server and great selection of freshly prepared food. I tried the lemon chicken sandwich with a chai latte (awesome execution btw!) and it didn't disappoint....thanks 👍🏻

Great neighborhood pub with cosy interior and refined selection of beer. Happy hour in the summer- if they still want plan on doing it .. lived the espresso martinis. Toilets are a bit rough 🫣 like in most pubs
Nothing to write home about.
The restaurant is very small and verging om dingy/ dark. Most of the lights were flickering constantly. That's fine if you're going for a 'hole in the wall, off beaten track' vibe, but if you're markering for fine french dining in EC, maybe change a light bulb occasionally. The restrooms were pretty dirty and their decor unloved for that level of restaurant.
Food wise, the bread served with the meal was wholesale cheap stuff that you would expect to see at a Premier Inn, and the butter tasted weirdly off- ie like it had begun to ferment from being left unrefrigerated for too long. Serving salted butter might be a better choice for such instance. But again, for high- level French dining, fresh whipped butter and warm fresh bread is usually a nice addition to the meal.
The main meal was certainly pleasant, fresh and well balanced. Starter was trout ceviche followed by cod. It lacked any real depth of flavour and seasoning. I would expect to have just as pleasant a fish meal in any upscale seaside pub- ie tasty and fresh but not sophisticated (but probably at half the price paid here).
There was no wine pairing or recommendations by the waiters. The wine was again fairly underwhelming and the selection was rather limited (which is fine if curated well, but this wasn't the case).
Waiting staff were prompt, professional and friendly. The restaurant is so tiny that you find yourself bumping into them on entry and exit, however.
In summation, if you have plenty of disposable income and not much time to book a reservation in advance, then this will probably just about fit the bill, but it would be better value for money to get on the Eurostar and hit the nearest bistro when you get to the other side!
I usually love their arrabiata pasta but it has significantly reduced in quality and for the high price it’s really not worth it. I could make better pasta in 5 mins

We dined here a couple of weeks ago. We didn’t know the restaurant was due to close on the 15th February. So why am I reviewing something that won’t exist? Because it deserves every accolade it can get before its finale. What a huge loss to the London fine dining circuit it will be when the last petit four is served later this evening.
First a huge shout out to the front of house. Simply impeccable levels of hospitality. Giuseppe the sommelier. Understated yet undeniably passionate about his craft. And what a wine pairing it was!! Natasha our main server. So relaxed. So humble. So friendly. Just a lovely dinner companion to have.
On to the food. Simply genius. Often the difference between the 1 star and a 2 star can be a hairs breadth. Not here. The quality, flavours, technique, creativity are a million miles away from any 1 star I’ve had the pleasure of eating at. Standouts were two sauces believe it or not. The geranium herbal wasabi infused sauce to the lobster was sublime. A warning pleasant heat from the wasabi was the undertone to a wonderfully deep and umami filled backdrop to what was probably the best lobster I’ve ever tasted!! Next a saffron infused sauce accompanying a very skilfully crafted piece of turbot. The depth of flavour chef extracted was just so impressive. And the humble artichoke was taken to a cosmic level. Sweet notes to a savoury dish.
I could wax lyrical but I’ll stop there. You won’t be able to visit the restaurant any longer after today the 15th February. If only we’d discovered it before….
