Harden's says
With just six tables, this tiny fine dining restaurant (in the space that used to be Marianne's, RIP) opened up quietly in April 2019, than had critics rushing to visit. Chef Richard Wilkins previously had his own place in Buckhurst Hill in Essex, and has also worked at The Waterside Inn and Pétrus.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Food with outstanding provenance and in generous portions” delivered with service that’s “friendly and professional” wins ongoing praise from a small but dedicated fan club of Richard Wilkins’s small corner-restaurant on the border between Notting Hill and Bayswater (which seats 16 at maximum capacity). The restaurant’s website recommends that you allow three hours for its ‘carte blanche tasting menu’.
Summary
A focused menu of “high-quality ingredients with excellent provenance and preparation” together with “attentive and adaptive service” continue to win praise for Richard Wilkins’s small (seating a maximum of 16) venue, which has an unobtrusive frontage on a corner-site in the Notting Hill/Bayswater borders. It has a comprehensive wine list, running to the likes of clarets and burgundies at over £1,000 per bottle.
Summary
“Originally came here at the recommendation of a Michelin star chef – now it’s our default treat”. Richard Wilkins continues to win high ratings all round in reports on his Notting Hill 14-seater, praised for “generous portions of superb food” (with luxurious ingredients such as wagyu beef often a feature of the menu).
Summary
Less feedback than we’d like on this tiny, 14-seat venture on the fringes of Notting Hill, perhaps reflecting its small size and the disrupted nature of the last year. Such as we have, though, is uniformly highly complimentary about its ambitious cuisine from chef-patron Richard Wilkins with luxury ingredients such as Wagyu beef and truffle typical features of a menu. Service led by front-of-house Matt Hough also gets a thumbs-up. Heavyweight wine list, too, reflecting its gastronomic aims – it starts inexpensively, but go for the top vintages and you could spend over £1,000!
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).
