Knightsbridge, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“Tucked away from the hustle and bustle”, in the kind of ultra-picturesque Kensington backwater where one imagines Mary Poppins floating about on her umbrella – this “quirky” converted town-house provides a “special”, “understated but comfortable setting” and “always impeccable personal service with attention to detail”: it’s “ideal for a romantic evening”. “You might not expect much of the cooking as it’s part of the D&D London Group – but you’d be wrong!” – Ben Murphy has been at the stoves since 2017 and his “refined and interesting” cuisine goes from strength to strength: “food that just makes you smile about how it looks and how it tastes”. Top Tip – “good value at lunch”.

“Amusing locals and colourful regulars liven up the atmosphere” at this smart watering hole for the Chelsea set, where guests enjoy immaculate white tablecloths, “excellent, often entertaining service” and “perfectly fine gastropub food”.
