Elystan Street - (Near Kensington and Chelsea, london)

5 /5 Neil Smart Costantino: One of the best dining experiences in London. The service was exceptional and the food was divine. Would definitely recommend. Prices are on the expensive side but I always believe you get what you pay for and it is good value for money.

4 /5 Cookie Dave: I’d been recommended this place and, without realising it, I’d actually visited many years ago when Tom Atkins was running it—so it was a pleasant surprise to return. Having eaten at Phil Howard’s The Square, I was curious to try this restaurant as well. Overall, the service was friendly and on-point, especially from Charlie. The ambience was very good—busy for a Saturday evening in early December, with a couple of birthday groups of six to eight guests adding to the atmosphere/noise. The food was good: nothing groundbreaking, but tasty and nicely presented, as you’d expect. However, at £314 for two people, it was definitely on the pricey side. The pre-dinner cocktails were £16 each, which felt fairly standard, but £47 for three 175ml glasses of wine was steep. In hindsight, ordering a bottle would have been better value. The £40 service charge was not optional. So definitely Michelin star prices. So, rather than a regular spot for us, this feels more like a place for special occasions. We’d return to try the Sunday roast at £60 for three courses.

4 /5 Daniel Pinzon: Great atmosphere, warm and welcoming. Excellent, attentive service — staff regularly checked in and helped with water. The food was very good. The only small issue was that I didn’t receive the mashed potatoes I ordered with my main, but everything else was spot on.

5 /5 Oliver Cole: Elystan street is hands down my favourite restaurant in London and I can’t recommend it enough! The food is incredible and service is highly attentive! They have an amazing seasonal menu if you go for the early seating at 6:30 as well as incredible a la carte and 6 course tasting menu options! For special occasions they have a hand written card on your table signed by all the members of the kitchen. It is a bit on the pricier side (with the exception of the seasonal menu which is great value) but highly worth it! Atmosphere is quaint, light music with general restaurant chatter so you can have a nice conversation over dinner, the tables are also well spaced apart

2 /5 Tsoi KW: Had a birthday celebration dinner here and we tried the autumn menu. We did have some expectation for the food as it looks great on their Instagram, but the presentation and taste were both underwhelming and not really the Michelin star level quality that I expected. Starter came with zero presentation and the pheasant was overcooked, the worst part was that they even left a feather on. The service was pretty good, although the staff at first gave us just the a la carte and 6-course menu, and we had to ask for the early dinner menu… finally they left a birthday card there which was pretty lovely
