My favourite restaurant in London.
James deserves his third michelin star and I can unquestionably confirm the best somellier in London. Cheap at twice the price, worth a special visit

This dining experience was a gift to my husband and I from my sister and brother in law to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. What a wonderful way to celebrate! Dinner at this restaurant was a four hour occasion that thrilled and entertained us without being too pretentious or uncomfortable. The courses came in perfect timing and watching the kitchen staff and chef in the kitchen was such an added treat. We were able to see the care that went into each detail. My favorite two courses were the lobster and pumpkin dishes, least favorite mylor shrimp. The wine pairings complimented the dishes well and were explained with detail. The chef was delightful and interacted with us the guests very comfortably. The staff was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. I loved the way we were eased into dinner and eased toward the finish both in the lounge, never feeling rushed or unwelcome. This experience was one of the highlights of my trip to Europe. Highly recommend!!

My friend and I had a lovely 4+ hour experience here at The Kitchen Table. The staff was very personable and funny. The bathrooms were very nice and the staff was very accommodating for any dietary allergies. My tablemate's alternative meals looked better than the regular menu sometimes! It was very cool to see all of the food being prepared in front of you and I think you appreciate the flavors better that way instead of a regular dining experience. We had skipped breakfast and lunch and still came out incredibly full. Everything was very delicious. What I really appreciated was the non-alcoholic pairing and how much thought they put into it. I got the whole sommelier experience but for sodas and juices instead of wine! I've been to a few Michelins and this was a first. Overall, I would strongly recommend this to anyone visiting London.
Be the first to ReplyEverything was amazing from the moment I walked in the door
Everything was amazing from the moment I walked in the door to the moment I finished my dessert. The food was traditionally British and thus a bit plain, but they managed to make basic dishes truly amazing. Unfortunately, everything after the meal left a lot to be desired. The real gem of the Kitchen Table is the friendliness of the staff and their expert social skills. They managed to get the whole table having conversations with each other. I expected to have a quiet dinner on my own, reading a good book. Much to my surprise, I left having had fascinating conversations with the fellow diners and staff. I have such mixed feelings about the food. British cuisine is not one of my favorites. However, the execution and preparation was masterful. My favorite dishes were the pasta and the duck. There was also an excellent marigold dessert. I think it says a lot that many of the other diners had been there multiple times. There truly does seem to be something special about the atmosphere. I loved getting to watch the food being prepared. They run a very efficient and sanitary operation. I know working in a kitchen can be stressful, so seeing the way the staff treated each other with kindness and respect was probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. I went in early September during a heat wave. The restaurant has no air conditioning whatsoever. They did their best to keep the restaurant a reasonable temperature. I've lived in London for 2 years now and I know air conditioning cannot be expected. I just expect a little more thought from such an esteemed establishment, especially since the climate is changing and the lack of climate control is only going to become a bigger issue. I got my check last as a woman dining alone. It was 2 hours of the wait staff trying to calculate everyone's bill by hand. The whole night they had been very quick and efficient serving everyone, who suddenly drop the effort during the home stretch? It was quite unpleasant to get the bill. (Especially after the whole calculating-each-bill-by-hand fiasco). I opted to get the truffles earlier, and to their credit they did tell us the truffles would be extra. I've been to many a restaurant that offers truffles for extra, but typically only from slightly-upscale Italian restaurants. Coming from the Kitchen table it came off as stingy. From my experience in London restaurants, the price of a set menu usually has the service charge included. The Food (without truffle) was £200 and the surprise service charge was £50. I wish they would be more up front and when you booking say the price is £250. This is 100% something I would expect in NYC, not London. By the time I left at 11.45pm my transit options were severely limited. I asked if the wait staff could call a taxi to the restaurant and they looked at me like I had three heads. Again, this seems like a pretty basic service I generally expect from upscale hotels and restaurants. I doubt I'll be back. There are simply too many restaurants in the world to revisit one that provided such a mixed experience.
Be the first to Replyim not going to write too much.
I had high expectations for this 2 Michelin restaurant and Kitchen Table did not disappoint. 4 hours of amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere. yes, it's very pricey. but this is one of those meals I will continue to think about as I grow older.
Be the first to ReplyI had high expectations, and Kitchen Table greatly exceeded
I had high expectations, and Kitchen Table greatly exceeded them. The food here was fantastic - fresh, creative, and delicious. Chef James Knappett worked magic right before our very eyes. I loved the open kitchen concept and the theater-style seating. The service was also impeccable. Every staff member was incredibly gracious and welcoming. Best of all, the restaurant didn't feel stuffy at all. Contrary to what you might normally expect from a two Michelin starred restaurant, Chef Knappett playfully chastised me after I stirred one of my sauces two times after he had instructed us to stir just once. He then pointed to a tiny flower petal that was still on my plate and said "that's edible." I loved the playfulness and irreverence.The entire meal took 5 hours. So, prepare yourself for a marathon. But it's well worth it and I would highly recommend grabbing a seat at the Kitchen Table.
Be the first to ReplyProbably one of the best meals I have ever had in my life,
Probably one of the best meals I have ever had in my life, definitely in my top three. It's an amazing experience to watch chefs in their element. The courses were delicious and well paced. It's worth every cent.

The tomatoes were crushed, frozen, and slowly thawed. The drips were collected through a muslin cloth. The result was a golden, tomato-flavored liquid. It was topped with a few carrot flowers.Oysters! They were awesome! One of my top 3 courses for sure. They were creamy, juicy oysters topped with a macedoine of apples and shaved, frozen radish, finished with a drizzle of dill oil. Simply amazing!The seaweed cracker was interesting. I'm not a huge fan of strongly flavored seaweed. This wasn't too bad though. On top of the cracker was kohlrabi, "overcooked rice", and toasted nori.Next up was chicken skin. It was a really interesting concept but I think the execution could have been a bit better. I've never actually been served chicken skin as the star of its own course, so I didn't really know what to expect. It had a bacon jam topping along with a spread of mascarpone. I think the jam was OK. The bacon brunoise neither crispy nor tender. Just a bit chewy. The flavor was decent though. The sweetness of the jam along with the saltiness of the skin and bacon played nicely.The Quail egg straight up tasted like chaat (a type of Bombay street food) to me. I actually liked it a lot. The textures were the main thing here. A super crispy potato rosti at the bottom. A soft and tender quail egg on top. The rosti was literally like sev and the black garlic ketchup tasted a lot like tamarind chutney, mostly because of the sweet and sour flavors. A bit of black truffle lay on top of the whole thing. It would definitely be interesting to serve this as some sort of pretentious street food fusion.BREAD! SO GOOD. BREAD. BUTTER. YUM.Parker house baked bread served with a super complex butter. Beef fat roasted onions, pickled wild garlic capers, salted lemon pickle. All of this in the whipped butter. Oh and topped with burnt onion ash. Wtf right? Who thinks of putting all this shit in butter? But my god it was awesome. I asked for another serving after the entire meal, even willingly to pay more for it, but they were out since they plan for exactly 20 people. Sad.Following the fabulous bread was the torched mackerel. It was served in a bed of raw peas, pickled cucumbers, seaweed, and a sorrel sauce. Apart from the fact that I hate peas and think all farmers should stop growing them immediately, the dish was nice. The fish was cooked to extreme tenderness, and the sauce was decent.A piece of plaice brushed with chicken fat was up next. One of my friends thought this was his favorite course. Served with gem lettuce, elder berry capers (which are elder berries picked before they become sweet and fruity), buttery broad beans, roasted capers, green strawberries in a sauce of roasted chicken sauce with a ton of butter incorporated into it. This was definitely the butteriest dish. It was pretty awesome.The Cornish lobster was sooo goooood. Literally mind blaaaaasting. It was cooked over English charcoal (not sure what the difference in charcoal is here), so it had this smokiness to it. The lobster and abundant black truffle was served on a bed of godly scrambled eggs. Creamy and soft. That scramble was insane. As if all this wasn't enough, we had a foamy and airy black truffle lobster sauce to slurp up. Ugh, what a dish.I love sweetcorn. Remind me to tell you about a dish called corn curd that I've only seen in Indian-Chinese restaurants. Anyway, this dish was amazing! There was sweetcorn in so many different ways on the plate. The second round of duck featured duck breast served alongside an arrangement of six-hour onion confit, juniper, sweet blueberries, and house made yogurt. A reduction from the bones completed the dish with a drizzle of thyme oil.The final round of savory dishes was duck liver parfait and shiitake mushrooms on a cracker. Textures were great with the crunchy cracker and umami, soft parfait.We started dessert with a sweetened carrot pastry with carrot jus and Berkswell cheese on top along with herb oils. I love carrot desserts (gajar halwa being one my favorites) and this did not disappoint. The pastry was crunchy and light, the carrots were just lightly sweetened so the natural sweetness and taste of the carrots pulled through.Pineapple weed is a flower that's related to camomile in terms of scent. This was a jello type dessert that had strawberries and raspberries that were set in a pineapple weed flavored milk, double cream and strawberry juice. Very unique dessert that I haven't come across before.The blackberry was my favorite dessert hands down. A meringue made from corn husks seared with a hot stone, sweet corn ice cream, blackberry sauce, and of course, blackberries. Outstanding dish! Every single element tasted amazing!
Be the first to ReplyOh my goodness.
I cannot say enough good things about this place. The story behind it, the food, the wine pairing, the house-made liquor. This is a very expensive experience but it is so worth it. There was not a single course that disappointed. My husband and I were on the fence about the wine pairing but we agree that it was part of what made the experience so great. I highly recommend paying this a visit in London!
Be the first to ReplyI've eaten at some pretty spectacular restaurants.
It's something that I truly enjoy, and I'm willing to invest the money in exchange for an experience that knocks my socks off. If you're looking for that, Kitchen Table is definitely a place you should check out. Enter through the champagne bar, but you'll be escorted behind the curtain in the back and seated at a u-shaped bar surrounding the kitchen and prep area. I won't review each course because the menu changes daily. Several courses persist from day to day, but what Chef James Knappett does each night depends entirely on the ingredients and products he is able to get each day. The true delight, though, is not in any one course, but the care and consideration that goes into the meal as a whole. Each course is expertly crafted, leaving you more impressed than the first. It's amazing to sit and eat your meal while chatting with the guys who are putting it on the table for you. They're all friendly and willing to explain how and why they are doing what they're doing. Kitchen Table has two seatings, and I'd have to recommend the first to customers who are looking to have the full chef's table experience. In the second seating, you get to see a lot of the take down and clean up, but if you're looking to watch mostly cooking and prep, the early seating is where it's at. Splurge on the wine pairing, the sommelier does a fantastic job of explaining how and why she chose each pour as well as the history of the producer. Just writing this review makes me want to go back and eat there again, but I guess I'll have to wait until my next trip to London.
Be the first to ReplyI honestly don't know where to begin.
... the entire experience at Kitchen Table from start to finish was incredible! Most experiences with multiple courses typically have one or two low points but not this. Each course was as amazing as the last. We didn't do the wine pairing but wish we would have. The service was superb, the attention to detail was excellent and the chef was personable, engaging and so incredibly passionate you could taste it in his food! Such a fantastic experience - I highly recommend it!!
Be the first to ReplyMy dinner at Kitchen Table was one of the most memorable
My dinner at Kitchen Table was one of the most memorable meal during my two week stay in London (dined at over 30 restaurants). First off, it was a 15 to 18 course tasting menu and i didn't get to pick what to order. The dinner menu was written on a chalk board and each course was prepared with lots of thoughts. The presentation was very creative and the flavors were complex. Although each dish was very small, i was very full at the end of the meal. Chef James Knapper was truly exceptional, he was engaging, funny and extremely passionate about cooking. Keep in mind, they only serve 20 guests each night so make sure to make a reservation at least one to two months in advance. Also, as you enter the restaurant, it is hidden behind a hot dog place call Bubbledogs so don't freak out if you can't find it.

We had a fantastic time at Kitchen Table earlier this month! The menu changes daily but our various courses were all winners and Chef James added a lot of spice by his commentary for each dish.Also, a shout out to the service staff and wine steward Ben for offering a wonderful experience alongside the food. Very unusual, very creative and lots of fun!
Be the first to ReplyDelightful ambience, casual setting in the inside of
Delightful ambience, casual setting in the inside of Bubbledogs - lively but not noisy, good ventilation. We had the full menu and paired it with Champagne and a champenois still red, chosen among a thoughtful selection of bubbles and other wines.Particularly impressed by sommelier Ben's professional yet personable service - attending to all patrons around the kitchen table on 3 sides with graceful ease.The minimalist menu supplemented by detailed introduction by the virtuoso chef James and his amazing team when each dish was served. Portions were just right considering the number of plates (16) which made up the wonderful dinner. Excellent value for money.
Be the first to ReplyWe saw the Wall Street Journal spread on young Michelin
We saw the Wall Street Journal spread on young Michelin star chefs in London and we made reservations about 2 months in advance. Worth the effort of researching and planing ahead, as always. There are only less than 20 seats at this restaurant. Chef James Knapper is amazing and he is there cooking the whole way. There are about 6 other sous chefs helping him that makes the experience almost a 1:1 sever to diner ratio. Every course is creative and mouth watering - showcasing the freshest ingredients and best technique. What a found adventure!

Staff are friendly.. The food doesn't worth as much as it cost.. high class Traditional American restaurants is usually better..
