Galvin La Chapelle

Special for a special occasion

Great seven course meal was incredible

Excellent Sunday lunch during Christmas season: really good menu. Roast excellent and my family enjoy the Christmas pudding as well.

The food wasn’t exceptional however the service was!!! Extremely attentive and we were extremely looked after very french style
The lobster cake and bisque was extremely salty FYI

Top class as usual

Very disappointing cooking. The pumpkin soup was spoiled by unnecessary cream cheese and the risotto was just inept. Rice overcooked not enough wild mushrooms and far too much cheese including unheard of strips of cheese. Sludge really.

The food was ok, but I told the staff I was vegan and they served me risotto with cheese on it

From the lovely and impressive room to the excellent and friendly service everything was faultless. The food was very good apart from a critic on one course from the tasting menu, which was my taste rather than a fault. I shall definitely return.

Really lovely afternoon enjoying the tasting menu. Excellent service, was made feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

Simply outstanding from start to finish. Service was exceptional.

A Beautiful building, nicely decorated
Upon arrival they seated us but no one seem to care to ask for a drink or bring the menu
After 10 minutes we were able to attract attention and be able to order the wine
At the same time there was a strange smell around our table but they were able to move us to a different table.
It did take a while before we got the wine on the table as the sommelier was busy
As we eat often at Michelin star restaurants this was not a great performance to be honest

Excellent service and very nice food. Would recommend.

Great for a special occasion, wonderful high end food and service, and very accommodating to us with a small baby in a pram. Highly reccomend

We had a lovely time. The food was amazing and the service was attentive, warm and friendly. The location is beautiful and with the tasting menu paired with wine it was reasonably priced for the quality.
Would recommend for a special occasion.

The ambient so beautiful, service empacable and food so delicious!!
Just watch your spending, since you can easily get mesmerized 😁😃

Dined here twice, the food the 1st time was decent but it wasn't great the 2nd time around, not what I'd expect for a 1 star Michelin restaurant and certainly not with the prices charged. The terrine was completely inedible and the guinea fowl was incredibly salty.

Got the special tasting menu and matching wines. Portions were extremely small, wine pairing was really not good. Tiny portions of wine of very mediocre wines. Service I’ve was very slow and not pleasant. Not sure how this restaurant has a Michelin Star! Overall way overpriced with average food.

The waiter recomanded chefs menu. When we wanted to order he said it's too late because it was few minutes after 19:00. It looked like he didn't really wanted us in the restaurant. It was humiluating

I always enjoy eating here. The service is impeccable, the food and menu choices broad enough to cover all appetites, and it's also a slightly quirky venue to boot.

The environment is perfect but we don’t enjoy the starters and the desert we ordered, the beef is okay

We had the 10th anniversary celebration tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was superb: very subtle combinations of flavours, cooked to perfection. The wines selected for the wine pairing were spot on, carefully sourced from a wide variety of regions and domaines, including some quite rare finds. The service was excellent: friendly, attentive and efficient. The sommelier in particular was very knowledgeable and talked about each wine in detail. The splendid setting of this former chapel is the final thing that made this meal a special and memorable occasion. Pity about the background music: too pop, when something cooler and a bit more sophisticated would, in our view, have been more appropriate for the place - but that's a very minor detail.

Such a good restaurant - I always look forward to going there and have never been disappointed. Roast beef lunch was immaculate.

Delicious food! And amazing help choosing some great wines to pair.

We ate at Galvin La Chapelle as part of the London Restaurant festival. The menu was a tasting menu of their favourite meals. The service was amazing, attentive but not over the top. The food was good but both my husband and I felt slightly underwhelmed... I would try it again, but probably not until I have ticked a few other places off my list.

Anniversary

food was lovely and service was attentive, however the lighting over our table was very bright and this made the table very hot. We were all sweating and it was a cool and rainy September day. Unfortunately this impacted our enjoyment of the meal.

Food and service were outstanding. It's a very hushed atmosphere though - felt like we had to whisper as the neighbouring tables were very close and the room is quiet.

We ate here to celebrate a birthday and the staff did an excellent job to make it better.

The service is fantastic; well balanced - attentive without being overbearing.

We had the 7 course tasting platter. My wife does not eat Fois Gras so we requested an alternative when booking. This was taken on board and the wine pairing matched to suit the alternative course provided. This was a pea vollute which itself was quite tasty but I felt it was not a match to the terrine it replaced in texture and din't sit well in the wider menu for me; sandwiched between lobster lasagne and basil risotto. All wet dishes. I didn't pick my knife up until course 4! A little disappointed with the quantity of egg and brioche crumb in the pea soup too -barely knew it was there. The one dessert (not including the cheese) was very tasty and a French classic, but very simple compared to the rest of the courses - not the impact I would have liked from a tasting menu.

The wine pairing with the risotto was not to our taste, but no fault of the somellier and an alternative was soon provided.

On the whole an excellent meal and and experience. I would go back for sure!

Beautiful location and building. Service was okay. Perhaps they need more staff? We selected the set three course menu and chose the chicken hotpot for mains. The mushrooms had not been cleaned properly so the food was gritty. We ate it because we were so hungry. I did mention this to our server and she didn’t do anything about it. Otherwise the food was okay.

Fantastic place. The best vegan tasting menu I have eaten. It was so good my friend (who is not vegan) chose it over the non vegan one. Incredible service, lovely venue, good selection of champagnes by the glass. Will definitely be back.

Food was fab - Sunday Toast was defo best deal on Sunday lunch menu.
Ordered the 3 course plus wine at £47 per person bill arrived at £150 for 2
Weird way of working out - as we changed desert as a supplement as agreed with waitress - then tried to say it was £9.75 each supplement deserts were £13 each on a la carte menu !
Tried to charge us for double the amount of wine 4 carafes instead of 2 - think they may have had to catty is out if we had 4 between 2!
Manager was rude and condescending - the staff were actually so lovely ...
Ruined what would have been a fantastic Sunday lunch.
Only consolation was we ended up paying far less than expected due to the manager incompetent manner.!

A special restaurant great food, service, wine and ambience

I have been to this restaurant quite a few times and the food is always good. On occassions it has been exceptional, but didn't quite make it this time, maybe my choice of dish. The staff are always friendly and professional and are on hand without being obtrusive. My one complaint is that the portions are very small, but we knew that before we went and ate a good lunch so we were not starving. The building is really beautiful and helps to make this a special evening

This is in my view the best fine dining restaurant in the northern reaches of the city. It has a great old and new feel with its high vaulted wooden roof and modern mezzanine. The menu du chef offers good value for money and I generally find just what I’m looking for on the wine list. The quality of the food really has been a constant over a number of years.

nice food and lovely service

The food was pleasant enough, and the service was fine, but the (very bland) house white, coffee and bottled water (that we did not ask for) was just too expensive. Having opted for the express lunch, which was about £34 per head, and ending up paying circa £130 for 2 was not great value.

Great food, great experience

Amazing Summer menu. Very good value summer menu for dinner including wines. It was a real privileged to be in such a fine restaurant with such a good deal. This is place of some quality with a great atmosphere very good food. Service is friendly, attentive and efficient. Definitely Michelin star level.

The service and everything was really good.

Both desserts were lack of complexity but overall still worth trying.

A lovely meal as always. Thank you again
