Pembrokeshire-born chef Tom Simmons’s debut Welsh restaurant offers an “ambitious and very successful menu of fresh local produce, expertly and accurately cooked in interesting ways”. His London restaurant near Tower Bridge did not reopen after the pandemic.
Summary
Pembrokeshire native Tom Simmons has added another string to his bow; as well as his restaurant at London's One Tower Bridge (closed as we went to press), he and his partner Lois have opened this airy, big-windowed site in the swish suburb of Pontcanna, decked out in Neo-Georgian style. It serves British and French cuisine ‘with a Welsh twist’ and early reports say results are “outstanding” (a view echoed by Giles Coren in The Times).
For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
