About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Situated on the High Street of Eton, close to the River Thames and between the historic buildings of Eton College and Windsor Castle, Gilbey's is open from 12 noon for lunch and 6pm for dinner every day.
Originally an old butcher's shop, we created one of the first wine bars outside London in 1975 - The Eton Wine Bar. After 25 years of success, we changed the name in 2000 to Gilbey's, having recognised that our food had outgrown the original wine bar concept. Our friendly and efficient team look forward to welcoming you in either the stunning Conservatory Restaurant, cosy Front Bar and Townhouse, one of our newly opened Townhouse guest bedrooms or our top floor studio apartment-our exclusive guest accommodation.

    Gilbey's is a lovely light and airy restaurant off the high street at Eton. It has been extended and has a number of tables to suit parties of all sizes, as well as couples. However, as the restaurant covers 2-3 separate areas, as well as an outdoor seating area, it still feels intimate. The food was exceptional and provided with polite, friendly and efficient service. Lunch at Gilbey's for me was a very enjoyable event.

    One of our favorite places, ever... Such a shame it's closing down. Wish someone would take over such a great business.

    The conservatory was quiet and the service good. Terrine starters were lovely and the mains sea bream outstanding. Our guests were very satisfied.
