Evelyn's Table

My wife and I came here for our anniversary. The food was exquisite and I would highly recommend both the non alcoholic and premium wine/beverage pairings. We were really lucky to have Isabelle guide us through our wines. It was also lovely to find out we had extra courses but those should be a surprise (although the bread may have been the best bread course I’ve ever had). Would recommend without reservation.

Absolutely phenomenal! Wonderful staff, very professional kitchen. Very cosy atmosphere. They have set up the space well. Great to see the plating up with such precision and artistry. Every mouth full of food and sip of a drink was delicious leaving me wanting more!

Our experience at Evelyn’s Table was truly special. The intimate counter setting made the evening feel personal and immersive—watching the chefs at work added a thoughtful touch to the meal. 👨‍🍳✨ The portion size was perfect—enough to feel satisfied without being overly full. We opted for the non-alcoholic pairing, which was incredibly well thought out and paired beautifully with each dish. 🍹 Two standout dishes for us were: 🥇 The crab with courgettes, almond, and elderflower—a refreshing and delicate start. 🍓 And the dessert of strawberry, shiso, black sesame, and raw milk—so creative and beautifully balanced. The service was warm and professional, and the chefs were friendly and open, making us feel welcomed throughout. Highly recommend for a unique, refined dining experience in London. A true hidden gem. 🌟🍽️

One of the best dinners I’ve ever had. Every single dish was incredible, and the wine pairing was perfect. They were also amazing at accommodating my wife’s dietary requirements during her pregnancy. A perfect place for a celebratory dinner.

Tucked away down a side street entrance beneath a traditional pub, Evelyn’s Table is an intimate, almost hidden space. Descending a narrow staircase, you arrive in a dimly lit, compact dining area with a notably low ceiling. The room is centred around a marble chef’s counter seating just 12 guests, evoking the exclusivity of a high-end chef’s table experience. The seating area was cramped, elbows bumping and jabbing into each other and other physical encounters due to throughfare movement. The restaurant offers a fixed tasting menu concept. I chose the pescatarian option, which — according to the menu I was handed — featured just one alteration from the standard selection. Everything proceeded smoothly until the main course, when I was unexpectedly served duck. For a venue of this calibre, this was a significant oversight. Serving duck to a pescatarian diner — when an alternative (Pollock) was clearly intended — is a serious lapse in both communication and attentiveness from the kitchen and front-of-house team. The tasting menu itself, although advertised as five courses, was more elaborate in practice, incorporating amuse-bouches, palate cleansers, and petit fours — making it closer to eight courses in total. In fairness, I chose not to flag the error, curious to see whether any member of staff or the chefs would notice or correct it. None did, which was disappointing. The evening began with three amuse-bouches, the highlight being a beautifully clear brown crab broth — delicately balanced and deeply flavourful. Standout Dishes: • Crab, Courgette, Almond, Elderflower: A refreshing and elegant dish, where the elderflower film delicately topped a rich crab mixture subtly lifted by mayonnaise. • Mere Trout, Tomato, Cucumber, Radish: Lightly grilled or blow-torched trout, perfectly cooked but very small in portion. • Turbot, Girolle Mushrooms, Tarragon, Vin Jaune: The standout course of the evening. The sauce was reminiscent of a refined lobster bisque, and the fish was immaculate. The main should have been the Pollock with Bobby Beans, Cherry, and Endive — a well-balanced dish on paper. However, I was served duck instead, which was unfortunately metallic in taste, slightly chewy, and entirely out of place on a pescatarian menu. In hindsight, I regret not saying anything in the moment. The palate cleanser, with miniature basil leaves, was creative and refreshing, followed by a beautifully presented dessert: • Peach, Raspberry, Verbena: A delightful combination, full of fresh, summer flavours. Drinks: • The Negroni was expertly balanced, though served in a surprisingly small pour. • The Pisco Sour, by contrast, was overly sour and lacked finesse. Conclusion: Evelyn’s Table delivers a refined, immersive chef’s counter experience with some excellent dishes and creative touches. However, the serious error of serving duck on a pescatarian menu — without recognition or apology — undermines the professionalism expected at a Michelin-starred restaurant.
