Exceptional(1921)
$$$$
• Mediterranean • Liverpool Street
Booked 38 times today
Critical acclaim has been heaped upon Galvin La Chapelle, a true destination restaurant and with good reason. This fabulous dining spot, just off of London’s famous Bishopsgate is the work of celebrated Chef-Restaurateur brothers, Chris and Jeff Galvin, and epitomises their approach to designing and running restaurants in every sense. Indeed, Galvin La Chapelle has all the wow-factor of Windows with the stylish refinement of Galvin Bistrot de Luxe while carving out its own very unique character at the same time. The interior is truly special, as is the food – cosmopolitan, continental and wholly elegant every step of the way, creative but familiar, special but unpretentious – no wonder Galvin La Chapelle was named Tatler’s Restaurant of the Year 2010 and AA Best London Restaurant 2010.

    An excellent experience with the 8-course tasting menu. The wine choices from the sommelier were beyond expectations and the service throughout was great. All the staff were knowledgeable and keen to share that knowledge. I can't recommend this establishment more.

    We had a wonderful meal here. It is a beautiful restaurant that is quiet enough to have a normal conversation. The service was attentive but not intrusive and the food was very well prepared and delicious. If you are in this neighborhood of London, this is the place to have a pleasant dining experience.

    Truly outstanding, it’s rare these day for restaurants to get everything right. Great hospitality from the lift outside the venue across reception, waiters, runners etc, not one misstep all night. The food was amazing, too; let’s call them elevated comfort foods? Beautiful decor and the champagne button gimmick works a treat - too often these little details would fall flat on execution but these guys get it right. If you’re wondering whether this is worth it or just a soulless rinse and repeat of the iconic Soho venue, just book it and have a great time.
