“Wonderfully fresh, tasty and simple flavours” stand out at this health-conscious Marylebone two-year-old, which has a decidedly pretty interior in the upstairs restaurant (there’s a bakery below). Dietary requirements are celebrated rather than being grudgingly catered for, so there are no refined sugars in the cooking, along with limited dairy and gluten. The owner, Kelly Landesberg, is the daughter of Gary, chairman of the Arts Club in Mayfair.

A “beautiful room”, with Instagram-friendly blossom trailing from the ceiling, helps win positive early reports on this ambitious (rather clunkily-named) new Marylebone restaurant (upstairs) and bakery (downstairs), where the focus is on “healthy cooking that’s 100% free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar”. Some negative feedback, however, although not massively so, contributes to a slightly mixed rep overall: “no pun intended, it was only OK”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
