Medlar

Absolutely incredible. The food was stunning, creative and superbly cooked. Starters were the Scallop Sashimi and Lamp confit followed with mains of Roast Cod and Roast Mallard. Deserts were The Chocolate Tart and Cheese board. Faultless. Every dish was expertly put together. Great attention-to-detail with complex and delicious flavours. The Prix-Fixe is excellent value for money coming in at £42 for three courses plus wine on top. Can't recommend this place enough and hope they keep their standards high and their feet on the ground as word on this place gets out. Attentive, friendly service – love this place and probably my new favourite place in London!

The décor of this relative newbie is sharp but minimal, which keeps attention firmly focused on the art on the plate. Here, it's all about delicacy and finesse, poised hamonious flavours and lovely textures, as in a starter of crab ravioli with samphire, shrimp and leeks in a bisque sauce. The rest of the menu gives plenty of choice – the kind that makes you hopelessly indecisive – and, as you might expect of ex-Chez Bruce service the staff are a model of discretion and gentle refinement. Sit in the window at the front or, for greater privacy, in the back conservatory. Had a peek at the private room upstairs – well worth noting.

Medlar has an adventurous menu designed for grown-ups. Choosing what not-to-have is almost painful. An excellent wine list offers some interesting ideas amongst some old friends like Leonardo Pieropan, with the latter at prices that certainly won't offend anyone familiar with their typical off-sales retail cost . I have been there twice and apart from a mix up with my main course on the second occasion, the service and atmosphere have been entirely satisfactory. I know it is a little uncool discussing value, but this restaurant provides one of the best value dining experiences in London. Something of a surprise in Abramovich's King's Road.

intriguing variety of dishes on the menu
exceptionally prepared and delicious dishes.
friendly, courteous and attentive service.

This restaurant is what Chez Bruce was before it expanded and went downhill. Not surprising since most of the front of house came from Chez B. The food is wonderfu not as country as Chez B a bit more refined : The white onion soup is rich and creamy and very rich . The Tuna Tartar fresh and unusual . the steak wonderful. The room is charming and the serious friendly but not overly familiar. A really lovely restaurant.

Delicious, subtle food, charming and attentive staff, pleasant atmosphere. We will go again.
