Having Texture just a 5 minute walk from home is really a luxury. In spite of this, I’ve only managed to visit twice, but have been very pleased both times. The décor, the spacious feel and the general vibe really appealed to me from the start of my visits. A nice drink by the bar is a great way to start your dining experience, and I would recommend arriving a bit early to do just that.

I have no complaints about the service and the sommelier was very obliging and informative without being intrusive, which really applied to all staff. The food is unsurprisingly focused on the sea, but I still went for a Wagyu beef main (again, not surprisingly) and the goat’s cheese and beetroot starter. Both were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.

The only negative point with Texture is that the prices are rather steep compared many other restaurants at similar levels (GBP 15-20 for starters and 30-35 for mains). But if that isn’t a problem, or if you have something to celebrate, then I would recommend this without a doubt.

Ps. The pictures on this site need some updating, the place looks better than that!
