Harden's says
With just six tables, this tiny fine dining restaurant (in the space that used to be Marianne's, RIP) opened up quietly in April 2019, than had critics rushing to visit. Chef Richard Wilkins previously had his own place in Buckhurst Hill in Essex, and has also worked at The Waterside Inn and Pétrus.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Richard Wilkins’s corner-restaurant on the border between Notting Hill and Bayswater is a small venue often recommended for romance by those who “love the intimate nature of the place” (the maximum booking size is six). The standard of cuisine is high, and ingredients are “of excellent provenance” with dishes using A5 wagyu a longstanding menu feature. As of July 2025, the sample online menu offered a tasting option for £120 per person (£150 per person with the wagyu) but also a cheaper three-course selection for £60 per person, which brings the venue more affordably into reach.
Summary
“Food with outstanding provenance and in generous portions” delivered with service that’s “friendly and professional” wins ongoing praise from a small but dedicated fan club of Richard Wilkins’s small corner-restaurant on the border between Notting Hill and Bayswater (which seats 16 at maximum capacity). The restaurant’s website recommends that you allow three hours for its ‘carte blanche tasting menu’.
Summary
A focused menu of “high-quality ingredients with excellent provenance and preparation” together with “attentive and adaptive service” continue to win praise for Richard Wilkins’s small (seating a maximum of 16) venue, which has an unobtrusive frontage on a corner-site in the Notting Hill/Bayswater borders. It has a comprehensive wine list, running to the likes of clarets and burgundies at over £1,000 per bottle.
Summary
“Originally came here at the recommendation of a Michelin star chef – now it’s our default treat”. Richard Wilkins continues to win high ratings all round in reports on his Notting Hill 14-seater, praised for “generous portions of superb food” (with luxurious ingredients such as wagyu beef often a feature of the menu).
