Kensington

About the restaurant

La Palombe is a new neighbourhood bistro from restaurateur James Chiavarini (also of Il Portico) & chef patron Jake Leach (previously head chef at the three Michelin starred The Ledbury).

A large wood burning grill takes center stage where the majority of the dishes are cooked over live embers. James & Jake work together every shift to serve dishes with a real sense of terroir and provenance, including our speciality of wild foods foraged ourselves. Expect wild noisette venison, Wiltshire truffles (thanks to our house truffle dog Alba!), rare woodland mushrooms, and much wonderful produce from our small organic farm in Kent.

The wine list is sourced entirely from independent producers, and regularly updated with a specialised focus on low intervention, natural and biodynamic wines.

We are across the road to the Design Museum & Holland Park, a 10 minute walk from Kensington Olympia and a short distance to the Royal Albert Hall.

One of the very best restaurants in London. Every dish is unique and so impressive, I bet for most dishes you won’t find anything similar in any other restaurant in London. The space is really cozy and does not look like any other commercial run of the mill restaurant design you see so often, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. For the quality, the price is more than reasonable: we paid around £100 pp for three outstanding starters, a generous main to share, desert, and 6 glasses of wine (they have a great selection by the glass), and got offered some extra wine tasting and two glasses of dessert wine on the house to finish with. Certainly a gem worth coming to from any area of London and visiting multiple times as they change the menu regularly. Thank you!

Fitzrovia

About the restaurant

64 Goodge Street is a new restaurant from Woodhead Restaurant Group, which opened in early August 2023. A former travel agent in our beloved Fitzrovia (64’s older siblings Portland and Clipstone are just round the corner), we were hugely excited by the opportunity this blank slate of a site afforded us.

We’ve been able to build from the bottom up, and therefore design every inch of space to meet our hope for 64 Goodge Street. Namely, that it is a space in which guests feel utterly taken care of.

We are open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner. We very much hope to see you soon.

We had the 3 course set lunch menu for £45 but had 2 mocktails and 2 glasses of champers between 2. Having recently dined at Royal Hospital Road i was curious to see how another of Gordon Ramsey establishments held up. I recently had an experience at Frog, so i was getting in the mood. Firstly the restaurant has twice the number of tables as Royal Hospital Road. And its pretty loud and vibrant. I liked that. It gave the feel of a younger crowd. There is gentle mood music and the venue feels upbeat and modern. We are sat at a table for 2 right next to the centre wine cellar, a modern see through wine cellar temperature controlled cylinder which goes from floor to ceiling. Its pretty cool. The greeting is polite and the front of house is french but has a sense of humour. Hes good banter. The menu comprises of salmon, chicken and rhubarb. The food is really good. Tasty and typical of the ramsey establishment. It is based on classic flavours done very well. The menu feels spring like - vibrant, bright and fresh. The highlight is the chicken; tasty, dainty and full of flavour. The black forrest dessert is unusual; you expect cherries but you get freshness of oranges. Really good actually.

Southwark

About the restaurant

A neighbourhood restaurant on Stoney Street, Borough Market - Camille is a reflection of imagined jaunts through regional France.

The menu from head chef Elliot Hashtroudi celebrates the magic of local and seasonal produce - his simple approach to cooking captures the rustic energy of a regional French table.

An intimate casual bistro-style dining space with small bar and window counter seating is the back drop to our a-la-carte menu and ‘daily specials’ board.

Like in our other restaurants Ducksoup, Little Duck and Emilia you’ll find a weekly changing menu of wines by the glass and bottle from small independent producers.

Dinner at Claude Bosi at the Bibendum was an exquisite experience. Service was informative and refined. We chose the three course service and enjoyed every course plus multiple amuse-bouche and entremets. All items were beautifully prepared and presented. Flavours were fantastic and the pace of service allowed for a full appreciation. Our only observation was that the 80s music in the background sounded a little off in this context and could drown out some of the presentation by the wait team. Some nice jazz or classical music might have blended in better but, that is a really minor criticism. Highly recommended.
