One of if my favourite places in London (if not my favourite). Getting a reservation isn't easy but the staff are very helpful and friendly.When you arrive there is still an air of mystery as you don't know what the menu is but it most definitely did not disappoint.Chef table type concept but with multiple chefs. Each course was amazing and there was much discussion about which was the best dish (proper hair splitting). We took a dear colleague for dinner as she is returning to Oz so we opted for the wine pairing. It is extravagant but it really set the whole experience off.If you enjoy food (the art and the science) if you are able the then make reservation and be prepared for a real treat.I will return, it is not a visit once type of place. The sommelier was brilliant as were all the staff and chef. It was an intimate atmosphere that I've never experienced before. Superb

When a friend suggested joining her at Evelyn’s Table, I wasn’t sure as it seems expensive. But I am so happy I decided to go. The food was amazing, service mostly good. Each dish explained and everything a pleasure except perhaps dessert on the day we went (far too cloyingly sweet) but every other dish was spot on! Atmosphere (ie other diners) was rather subdued as there was an air of quiet seriousness about food (I think we were given a couple of looks for laughing as we were chatting - but it was just the day we went. It is a 12-seater restaurant so very dependent on who is there on that sitting). All in all I would recommend going at least once.PS you can arrive early and have a drink at their bar upstairs.

Truly unique flavours, incredible attention to detail.

The cuisine menu was adorned with an array of Japanese-inspired elements: varsity uses of miso, fish roe, seaweed, etc. all intricately woven into the dishes to add nuanced touches rather than dominate, maintaining a European fusion essence.Started with an exquisite two-ways of Cornish fish appetizer, which was, without a doubt, my highlight of the evening. The warm dish was a marvel of texture and taste—tender fish enveloped in konbu leaves, roasted to achieve a perfect balance of moisture retention and flavor infusion. The sauce was a delicate blend of fish roe and seaweed powder that enhanced the umami, making the warm dish an embrace of comfort. The cold dish offered a refreshing contrast, with sashimi brought to life with leeks and a zesty apple sauce.Continued with a first main course of Iberico pork, showcasing three distinct cuts—shoulder, butt, and leg—drizzled with basil leaf oil. The dish was paired with a non-alcoholic drink left a lingering spiciness, courtesy of jalapeño, that was nothing short of mesmerizing.The second main dish scallop sliced and accompanied with four distinct methods of swede preparation. Sourdough and beetroot cream cheese came to transition between courses, striking a rare balance.The final Lake District venison served a decent conclusion to the main courses, although didn't quite captivate as the previous dishes had.The predessert rejuvenated the tasting experience—lemon jelly and panne cotta-alike milk custard accompanied by a trio of honey and fruits embodies a balance of sweet and sour.The dessert, ambitiously combined the homemade vanilla ice cream and hot truffle caramel sauce, was a bit overwhelming, at least to our tolerance. The intention was bold, but the presence of black truffle felt out of place, casting a shadow over the otherwise harmonious blend of red beans and ice cream.Overall, I enjoy the boldness of experiencing the combination of different flavours, truest adventurous and worth trying

We had the most fantastic evening! Starting with a wonderful warm welcome we felt relaxed straightaway. The concept, all dishes and wines were explained extremely well. The food was exceptional and each course blew us away with the interesting flavours and ingredients that all paired beautifully. The attention to detail down to the cutlery on the menu showed how well planned and well executed everything was. We would absolutely recommend to friends and definitely want to come again!

New York look and feel restaurant, seating around the bar where you can interact with staff and see the chefs prepare the food. Delicious set course menu - except for the artichoke dessert which was not sweet enough to my liking. The wine list is pretty spot on too. Must book ahead as it’s a really small but special venue.

This is a difficult to get type of restaurant. The space is an intimate basement 12 seater counter with 3 chefs that cook and present their creation in front of you, and 2 sommeliers that guide you through the possible combinations of wine pairing. We were 2 and chose the traditional pairing and the “natural wine” pairing in order to explore the taste and flavour combinations. The food is extremely good, the flavours range from modern to classic to experimental, with mods to seasonality, Asian influences, modern British, techniques are classic like the usage of beurre blanc, salsify, yuzu and other touches that let you grasp the complexity of the cooking which went into each carefully prepared dish. They have 2 seatings, we had the 6 pm one, and there is another at 8 pm if I remember correctly. The tasting of Cornish fish to start with was sublime, followed by anOutstanding British iberico presa dish, the Orkney scallop and the venison with mushroom and smoked juniper, some stout bread with a crème fraiche and beets ( delicious) plus the Jerusalem artichoke dessert followed by a chocolate log with a ganache of hazelnut inside. The service is great, attentive, and full of enthusiasm, the 2 sommelier are both passionate, competent and fun to interact with, the chefs are friendly and very polite, the food is incredible. The only suggestion I have is to have a dedicated pastry chef, as the desserts are the last part of the meal, and I thought that, albeit being good, they were not as delicious as the mains. Anyway, the dinner was magical and I am looking forward to see this place gaining a 2nd Michelin star !

The most incredible experience. Cannot fault the service, food and incredible atmosphere, everything was perfect! We loved the langoustine and venison in particular, but were blown away by every course. The sommelier and chefs were so lovely when explaining our pairings and dishes - Book in advance and absolutely make this a must visit. Thank you!!!

Absolutely fantastic meal. Incredible value for money too. A lovely dining setting with great service and the attention to detail with the food was outstanding. One minor negative point was the service from the doorman as we entered the restaurant (you enter through the side door of a pub). He was unfriendly and in my opinion quite rude. I was not expecting to be told “just go to the bar and get a drink, we’ll get you when we’re ready” when we arrived on time for our table sitting at a Michelin starred restaurant. And I definitely didn’t expect a response of “okay just wait in the pub, we’ll get you when we’re ready” when I told the doorman that we didn’t want a drink in the pub. In fact - it really annoyed me, which just goes to show how good the restaurant is. I’ve still given it a 5 star review and it was one of my favourite meals. Maybe have a word with the doorman though!

Loved my experience here. Service is top notch! Food was one of the best. The space is a bit tight but it doesn’t really matter.
The food was excellent but it all felt a little rushed. We didn't get to finish our glass of wine that went with one course before the other one arrived already. Same with the food. It was clear that a next shift was coming which is a shame for this kind of experience. Very friendly service by everyone of the crew. Overall conclusion: it was a nice night out but a bit pricy for the overall experience.

If I had to describe this restaurant in one word, it would be: alluring.Because Evelyn’s Table was every sense of that word — and more.From the moment we stepped into the little place, tucked away in the heart of London, we were greeted by a quiet and cosy atmosphere.As we sat at the bar table, the sommelier advised us through their wine options and the chefs brought explained each piece of the menu they placed before us.Would highly recommend this place!

Amazing evening with delicious food. Attentive staff and excellent chefs. Incredibly grateful to the team for helping us celebrate a big birthday. Thank you.Dietary restrictions: Edited dishes to cater to members of our party who did not eat certain foods. Provided a low/no alcohol wine pairing as well
