Los fideos kimchi saben a malvado. Fue tan agrio. Me di cuenta de cuánto odio a kimchi después de probar tus fideos. Nada contra tu restaurante, todo contra kimchi.
I was very impressed by their extensive selection of goods and their friendliness but i was astounded at the bill they presented me for the following:
1 half of a cheese (perhaps Caciocavallo or Caciocampana) about 1kg.
150g of proscituo crudo
1 packet of cantucci
1 packet of amaretti
I was charged £48.00 for this selection. I didn't question it at the time but it did seem to be extortionate for such s small selection.
Just sat in this deserted Kings Road reataurant trying to eat a small plate of five pieces of dried up chicken reheated and a tiny portion of cold chips and realised why it's empty. I just thought let's get through this it's only £9.95 but when the bill came - or rather I went to the counter because there was no service - the one rude waiter behind the bar presented me and my friend with a bill for £44. We could not believe it. He claimed the five pieces of chicken with no accompaniemwnt was a shish taok main course which it so wasn't. It was appalling. I wasn't going to argue at £9.95 but at £22 a head I argued and then some but he absolutely insisted that we had to pay that and if we hadn't liked it we shouldn't have eaten it. What a truly awful place. Only two other customers in there and they looked as shocked as we were by their small plates of dried up food. Haven't had a meal this bad in London ever. Avoid this place like the plague although surely it can't be disgracing itself for much longer as it looks as though most people already avoid it. That's the biggest waste of nearly £50 I have ever experienced. I feel utterly swindled and robbed. Disgusting.
Nos encontramos con este lugar mientras estábamos paseando por la zona y no podía faltar lo que teníamos. Servicio rápido. y aunque no teníamos nuestra caca con nosotros, el amor que es era tan acogedor a los perros. Ambos tuvimos un café con leche que era muy bueno y yo tenía el más delicioso croissant de almendras (era enorme) y muy fresco y mi marido tenía un dolor au chocolate que confirmó que también era excelente. El personal era muy amable y eficiente. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Absolutely amazing restaurant located in Kensington. Came here a couple of times previously and unfortunately they were fully booked, tried our luck again and thankfully they were able to squeeze us in.(BE WARNED- if you haven't booked you'll be lucky to get in, definitely so at peak times). The menu looked great, rustic English fare.We went for stilton mousse and cheese and leek tart for starters followed by rump of lamb and fish pie. The food was faultless. Every dish tasted gorgeous. The wine (just went for Malbec and Chablis by the glass) was very nice too. The service was friendly, attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was warm, cosy and romantic with a very rural theme. Prices were reasonable considering the quality of the food and the location of the restaurant. Overall we had a great time and I'm so glad we were able to get a table. We'd both like to go again, soon. My thanks to the gentlemen on the door, they were very busy so I didn't get chance to get his name (owner,manager,maitre d, greeter?) But he was amazing and a real credit to the restaurant. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.
What a warm feeling here at the Abingdon. Great atmosphere, service and management. The food was just right. Lovely experience for a family and a date. This will be a staple for my family.
Dear Andrei and team
Sincere thanks for making us a wonderful wedding in October. You made everything so stress free for us. All of our guests are still raving about the food but also the service was excellent even though you had a busy restaurant. You made us feel like VIP’s, even greeting us at the door yourself. We are so sorry it has taken us so long to put this into words, but we have been telling anyone who will listen how much we are glad we chose Manicomio for our special day. I wish I could remember our waitresses names, they were lovely. They enjoyed our ottolengi wedding cake :)
Lots of love
Richard and Jen
