  “Really nice evening. Good food with a lot of choice and very helpful for a celiac. Service was great and it was quiet, just some gentle background music, so we could easily chat.”

  “We had a lovely 3 course dinner with delicious wine. The service was impeccable amidst such a cosy atmosphere. The duck starter was divine and the specials were had for mains excellent! Always a great choice for a lovely meal.”

  “A wonderful and charming restaurant local to Hampstead South End Green. The food, service, and ambience were all top-notch. As vegetarians, we ordered the gnocchi pasta, some sides, and finished with a delicious raspberry and chocolate brownie. Everything was beautifully prepared and full of flavour. The only area for improvement would be to offer a few more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu — it would be great to have a bit more variety. Otherwise, a truly delightful dining experience!”

  “I really wanted to love this place. Both dishes that I ordered were from the Specials, which was probably my mistake. Not sure if you know but the specials in restaurants consist of stuff they're trying to get rid of marketed as 'Specials'. That's a general rule of thumb. Anyway, both dishes that I fancied were from there. I got the deep fried brie. I had to dig out the cheese because the breading was quite bland and pointless. I would have loved it to be crispy and tasty but alas it wasn't. My main was a Beef Bourguignon, which was infuriating because the flavours were there but the beef was chewy instead of melting in the mouth. I really wish that I hadn't gone for two dishes from the Specials but hey that was my experience. The staff was lovely and the vibe was as if you are in a French bistro, so that was nice.”

  “Hubby and I decided to get dinner here as the ratings were super high. We were definitely not disappointed. Upon entering the restaurant, we were instantly greeted and seated by the waiter. His timing is impeccable. He seated us, handed us the menu, and gave us some time to look at the menu. He grabbed our drink order, and our drinks were served within 10 minutes. After that, he took our order, brought us bread, and the timing between the appetizer, mains, and dessert was perfect. The atmosphere of the restaurant was intimate and homey. The food was amazing and on point. Not to mention, the price relative to the quality of the food was very good. We ordered the seafood soup to share, the bake salmon, the duck breast, and we shared the apple and plum dessert. The seafood soup was a large enough portion to share between the two of us, and there were ample amounts of seafood (salmon, mussels, shrimps) that were perfectly cooked and super tender. The bake salmon was perfectly cooked, super tender, and not overdone at all. The duck breast was a perfect medium rare, as I had requested. Both hubby and I were very happy with our meal. And, after ordering two glasses of wine, an appetizer to share, two mains, a side of creamy potatoes, a dessert to share, and a dessert wine, our bill amounted to 80 pounds. We've definitely paid more at other places and we're not as satisfied and happy with our meals Overall, the service was excellent, the food was excellent, and I'd definitely recommend trying this place out. In fact, hubby and I will be back to try more things on this menu. I think we've finally found our neighborhood gem. We definitely say this is among the top restaurant meals we've had in London!”

  “Incredibly lovely place, with great food, super friendly staff, all clean and professional and a great atmosphere! Perfect for a quiet dinner! We had the soup of the day, king prawns and salmon mousse as starters, oven baked salmon with ratatouille for main course and crepes for dessert. Everything was excellent! Compliments to the chef!”

  “I had a really delicious meal here! The food was impeccably made from only the highest quality ingredients, so I was very impressed. They also have an extensive "specials" menu, to showcase the best seasonal cuisine. My beetroot and butternut squash wellington was succulent, with a moist and toothsome pastry which really elevated my expectations of what savoury vegetarian pastries can be. Even though it's a cute and cosy restaurant, I did feel a little bit crammed in. At one point, I stretched my arms out and nearly tripped a waitress behind me!”
