Bottarga - (Near , london)

5 /5 Natalia Almeida: 10/10 no notes. Sensational food here, the yellowtail blew me away, the seabass was perfect with that sauce, the potato dish and broccoli wow. The calamari was also delicious, and the fried zucchini, honestly impeccable service too everything came out so quickly! Loved the cheesecake too, very indulgent. I’ll definitely be back!

4 /5 Mohammed Haroon Munir: I visited Bottarga in Chelsea on Friday lunchtime with a group to celebrate my sister’s birthday. From the moment you step inside, the space feels effortlessly chic. The décor is polished and refined, with tasteful artwork that complements the atmosphere beautifully. That said, the toilets were a slight let down. The stainless steel finish felt stark and oddly institutional, giving off more prison than polished restaurant, and could certainly benefit from a refresh. Service, however, was a real highlight. Our main server, Olivia, was exceptional. Warm, attentive, and genuinely knowledgeable, she struck that perfect balance between professionalism and approachability. Her recommendations were thoughtful and well explained, and it truly felt like we were in very capable hands throughout the meal. I arrived with high expectations. Bottarga has been on my radar for quite some time, and I had heard consistently good things, so anticipation was high. The menu lends itself beautifully to sharing, which worked perfectly for our group. We began with the aubergine and tzatziki dips served with pitta bread. While the dips themselves had depth and good flavour, the pitta bread was unfortunately not homemade, which felt like a missed opportunity. Overall, these starters were pleasant but not particularly memorable. I felt similarly about the bluefin tuna. Well executed, but not something that truly stood out. The courgette fritters with smoked garlic sauce and the saganaki bites, on the other hand, were excellent. Crisp, indulgent, and full of flavour, they were easily the highlights of the starters and dishes I would happily order again. The orzo was one of the main reasons I wanted to visit and was highly anticipated. It was good, comforting, and well balanced, but again did not quite deliver the wow factor I was hoping for. That said, the lamb belly and baby chicken that followed were both thoroughly enjoyable. Each had a beautiful char from the barbecue, with deep, smoky flavour and excellent seasoning. These dishes felt confident and satisfying. We finished with the sharing cheesecake, which felt almost criminal to skip. It was rich, creamy, and perfectly suited for sharing, a solid and comforting end to the meal. A particularly lovely touch was the effort made for my sister’s birthday. She was given a card, and a candle was placed in the cake, which added a thoughtful and personal element to the experience. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. It is undeniably on the expensive side, but that is to be expected given the Chelsea location and the brand itself. While I would recommend Bottarga, especially for groups looking to share plates in a stylish setting, I personally would not rush back. That said, I would be very interested in visiting the other restaurants within the same restaurant group. A good dining experience, well executed, with moments of excellence, even if it did not quite live up to the very high expectations I arrived with.

5 /5 T Sarris: This cozy Greek restaurant serves up some delicious Greek food. The raw menu did not disappoint ! The sea bream was so yummy! The spicy feta and saganaki balls were great too! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting as is the staff. We had a warm welcome and great service. The Greek chicken was some of the best I’ve had. Don’t miss this Greek food gem!!

5 /5 nydia ndam: Wow wow wow, soooo worth the hype! Party of three came for a birthday dinner and it blew us away, it was amazing! To begin with, the service is superb which makes the experience all the more enjoyable; immediately as we walked in the hosts took our coats, made lovely small chat and wished me a happy birthday. It took us aback because all workers seem genuinely happy warm and pleased to be working there, which is uncanny in London. Now, for the food: it was delicious and blew us away. As a Mediterranean, it is beyond complicated to find good quality produce in London cooked right, and all dishes exceeded our expectations. The bluefin tuna was sensational, and the lemon and pepper complemented it perfectly; the tempura courgette was great, perfectly crisp and the black alioli was mind blowing! We also ordered the grilled artichokes, the aubergine dip and pita bread which were also delicious. The highlights for us was the orzo, which was such a generous portion and the sea bass! The sea bass melted away and the olive oil and lemon sauce was simply superb. It is unlikely to have restaurants who can cook good quality food properly, keeping the essence whilst also adding flavours and complements which gives it a kick while also preserving the original richness. Lastly, as a dessert we ordered the chocolate burnt cheesecake, which they kindly enough with a candle and was a huge portion, with chocolate poured on top. Also a lovely touch, they brought a complimentary glass of prosecco and a birthday card signed by the Pachamama team. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable experience, with amazing service and delicious flavour and we couldn’t recommend it more.

5 /5 Marcus Casfikis: Excellent Greek food, and all our dishes are incredibly flavoursome. The service was very helpful with ordering and didnt let us order too much. The food quality was excellent. The chicken was superbly cooked, and the grilled veg was barbecued very well. The service was friendly. Overall, an excellent experience.
