This was our second time at Anglo. We were celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary. We came back and will continue to come back because of the whole experience you get at Anglo. The food is incredible. Inventive and you can feel it comes straight from the heart. The service is also flawless. Just like the ambience of the restaurant itself you feel welcome and completely at home. Having eaten at other establishments of similar high standards it can feel stuffy and uptight. Not so at Anglo. The wine paring is amazing value and really elevates the dining experience. Being served some of the dishes by the chef himself is a wonderful touch and again makes the experience even more special, personal and intimate. Thank you Anglo for another wonderful evening.

I booked a table 24 hours before (changing from another venue because this looked nicer) based on the reviews. They’re correct - it’s a fabulous place. Small, intimate, friendly and the food is outstanding - creative, delicious, innovative and totally reasonably priced. It’s the best restaurant I can remember going to in London. So many restaurants feel over-priced and generic. This one is very special (they also went out of their way to accommodate some complicated dietary requests)

Dining here was an incredible experience. The menu was incredibly inventive and the food was amazing. It felt like a very personal experience with such a small number of staff, but everything works extremely well.
Robert Elson
One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in London hands down.Food was great - really clever and interesting and the service was impeccable.Would definitely recommend.

This was an incredible dining experience. I’m no foodie but even I could tell the food, and the wine pairings, were incredible. The simplistic decor ensures the food takes centre stage. The front of house / Sommelier was welcoming and knowledgeable. The head chef presented some of the dishes and the care and thought he’d put into them was clear. He forages for many of his ingredients which was so cool! The wines were a really interesting journey through England, France and Italy. Some of the food was crazy! Cheddar ice cream, yoghurt snow, three-day-cooked pine cones… but it all worked so well.

We were so impressed with this restaurant! I went with my husband for his birthday. The tasting menu was next level tasty with powerful flavours. Everything was perfectly cooked and we were particularly impressed with the chefs commitment and inventiveness when it came to only using British produce particularly when it came to the desserts. Highlights for us where the sourdough with yeast and mushroom butter, the Montgomery cheddar ice cream, the Devon duck with bramble and the fermented squash sorbet pre dessert.The restaurant is tiny with a very friendly and attentive front of house. I also thought the music was set at just the right level so you didn't feel you had to talk quietly so other tables couldn't hear your conversation. £85 for the basic tasting menu was excellent value for money and left feeling satisfyingly full.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible - step to go in and toilets are down a flight of stairs

Visited Anglo for lunch on a Saturday in mid December. Everything was exceptional and a fantastic value tasting menu for London. My wife is coeliac but she wouldn’t have known there, gluten free food made seemlessly including homemade gluten-free bread. We opted for the lunch tasting menu, paying extra to add the Oyster. Food was outstanding for each course. All was presented impeccably and tasted fantastic. The duck courses in particular were some of the best we have had. The location is about a 15 min walk from Oxford street but inside the restaurant it’s very relaxed and very intimate venue with not many tables. The service as perfect. Each course explained and often by the chef. They talk about low mileage sustainable food and that’s something they certainly deliver on with so many ingredients either grown by them or foraged that very morning. The care is what sets it apart. We are lucky enough to have eaten in various nice restaurants and had tasting menus and we have paid a lot more for a lot worse! Look forward to coming back to see the menu again soon!

An earlier review has already provided a detailed description of all the courses we experienced so all I can really say is this was an exceptional meal for a very reasonable price. The menu accurately lists the ingredients for each course but this cannot convey how they are presented and combine to form a series of incredible flavours. Top marks go to head chef Anthony and also to Marie in front of house who was knowledgeable and engaging. The wines we had were excellent. We look forward to returning soon.

Creative dishes, hidden jewel! The cheddar cheese ice cream and beetroot buckwheat berries dessert were brilliant!

Awesome food, great combinations of ingredients I would not have thought would go with each other. Chef comes out to present and describe his dishes. Waitress (co-owner?) very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit!
This was an exceptional lunch and one that will live long in my memory. Chef / Owner Anthony Raffo and front of house / sommelier Marie Danzavilliers have created a no waste menu using only the finest british produce , foraged ingredients and natural wines to bring you a very creative and clever dining experience.Anglo is set of Hatton Garden on St. Cross Street just a short walk from Farringdon station. It’s a small modern casual dining room that caters for around twenty people. This is why they can manage with just the two of them plus another chef and pot washer. On arrival we were given a lovely welcome by Marie before being shown to our table. Once settled we quickly looked around the restaurant to see that it is designed like other casual but modern dining rooms with minimal decor. It was also noticeable to see all their fermentation jars. We decided to start with a cocktail while we looked at the menu. Here they only serve a tasting menu where you can either have the full eleven course (including a supplement dish) or the smaller lunch tasting menu. You can also choose to match the food with the wine pairing which is just five glasses so you don’t feel you have to rush each glass.We decided to opt for the full tasting menu with the wine pairing. This started with Norfolk sand carrot , walnut a soup like dish full of flavour that you would have never tasted before. This was followed by the Crown Prince Pumpkin , broad bean , hogweed seed , thyme. Next to arrive was the Anglo Sourdough with a yeast butter , wild mushroom spelt that was absolute heaven.Our next course was the Leek , seaweed , onion , greenhouse herbs , black garlic , curd , ramson a truly amazing dish with incredible flavour combinations. This was paired with the first wine pairing a 2022 Skin Contact wine from the Renegade Winery in Bethnal Green. Another fabulous dish was to follow in the form of Lincolnshire Smoked Haddock , cauliflower , hazelnut , three cornered leek , celeriac , herring roe. This was paired with a 2021 French Riesling from the Alsace.Now we moved on to the supplemented dish of Hispi Cabbage , maldon oyster , gooseberry , nasturtium , bramley apple , spruce and absolutely clever and imaginary dish from the chef. Next to come was the main course of Devon Duck , sunflower seed , isle of wight smoked garlic , honey , spring onion , kale , yogurt. This was paired beautifully with a 2021 Cannonau Tenuta from Sardinia , Italy.What was to follow was a very clever and delicious cheese course of Somerset Montgomery Cheddar , pickle , dill , potato. This was paired with a glass of mead from Lowwood Meadworks in Sussex. Now we needed a palate cleanser and what a delight it was to. The Squash , oregano , mint , sorrel , hampshire rapseed with optional corniish black wood ants.It was now time for dessert where we enjoyed the British Buckwheat , berries , beetroot , raw honey paired perfectly with a blueberry wine from Lutton Farm , Northamptonshire. A coffee and petit fours of Pine Cone and toasted hay fudge brought an end to our amazing lunch.This was an incredible dining experience where the food was imaginative and very clever from Anthony and paired perfectly with amazing wine by Marie. I really can’t recommend a visit to Anglo highly enough. The Full Tasting Menu is priced at only £85 and the wine pairings at just £45 making this also excellent value for money when you consider the quality of food , wine and service. I will definitely be keeping my eye on the the menu so that I can return as soon as possible.

Extremely high standards of cooking - every dish really stood out.... including the best butter I have ever eaten... wow. Attentive service, lovely ambience. At £55 the lunch tasting menu I found to be good value. After eating at many restaurants in London (and a few tasting menus) Anglo sits right at the top. Well done Oh and don't be fooled by the tiny portions... they add up and I was stuffed by the end.
