Summary
“An exceptional local” – this “small” modern bistro in Holland Park attracts folks from neighbouring postcodes and beyond with its “most delicious” Gallic-influenced dishes (from an ex-Terroir team) and “an interesting wine list with some unusual choices”. One or two reporters discern “a lack of ambience”, but for most people it’s a “cosy” place with particularly “charming” service.
For 31 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).
