I met a girlfriend for lunch at Planet of the Grapes. To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect…read morefrom the name of the restaurant, but in the end they exceeded my expectations. Food: We took advantage of the OpenTable lunch special where you receive a starter/tapas, a main course and a glass of wine for 20.00 GBP. We ordered the Sardinian fregola, peppers, crayfish, baby spinach and the Bruchetta, burrata pugliese and caponata for our tapas. For our mains we ordered the pan fried pollack, grilled artichokes, fennel and lemon butter and the fresh tagliatelle, courgette, board beans, parmesan and summer truffle. All of the portions were good size and the food was delicious. The serving was so big I couldn't even finish it which made me sad because it was really tasty and fresh. Drinks: We ordered a white and a rose wine. Price: 20.00 GBP per person for the lunch special plus VAT and 12.5 service. Great deal! Ambiance: They have a few tables outside, but the main restaurant is downstairs. It's a cozy space. Service: The service was welcoming, friendly and attentive. Would I go back? Yes, I would go back again if I was in the area. The food and service was great.

With a large appetite you can enjoy many yummy dishes, and best to come with friends so that you can get lots of their 'snacks' and 'starters.' We were only three people for dinner after having a late lunch. Duck Terrine with jam was out of this world, one of the best I've ever had. Super flavorful and generously portioned. Next was a Partridge which likely was the first time I've eaten one - but won't be my last. There were many great looking dishes, including fallow deer which our friend really enjoyed. Overall fantastic - I know this review is simple and short, but just trust me and all the other reviews which happen to be 4-5 star, it is well worth your while to dine here.

We were lucky enough to snag a spot at the bar as those are also reserved so I was extremely happy. I had asked if it was possible to sit in Apollo's Muse which is their exclusive lounge but told that they had a private party going on. I was just as happy with our spot a the bar. The menu itself is a booklet with drinks that pertain to Apollo, Medusa, Caesar etc. The vibes were immaculate, drinks well thought out and the service was top notch. I plan to visit next time I'm in London.

Bacchanalia is one of London's most impressive restaurants that I visited, and it's hard to believe…read moreit has only been open for 3 years. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels special. The door greeters and hostesses are warm and welcoming, setting the tone right away. I needed to charge my phone, and they immediately offered a ticketed charging service so it wouldn't get lost ~ a thoughtful detail that shows how much they care about their guests. The atmosphere is stunning. The entire space feels like a living museum, with breathtaking art and design everywhere you look. Even the bathrooms and bar area are showpieces on their own, making the setting as memorable as the food. Service was good throughout. My server, Marcos from Italy, made sure everything was perfect and then later on Joseph took care of me. I started with the salmon tartare, which was fresh and flavorful, then had the chimichurri steak, which was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. I ended with a cappuccino that did not disappoint. Another plus is that the 14.5% service charge is already included in the bill ~ fair, convenient, and absolutely deserved for the quality of service. I also noticed several managers in sharp suits moving around the floor, keeping the experience polished and professional. Bacchanalia is a beautiful blend of Greek and Italian inspiration, an atmosphere that makes you feel transported, and service that makes you feel taken care of. For a restaurant that's only been open a few years, it has already set a standard that feels timeless. Highly recommended to anyone who wants not just a meal, but a memorable experience in London.

You gonna end up in a stylish venue where you can talk without screaming and instead of the usual pub vinegar-like glass of wine, you'll discover very tasty, well balanced and original wines from all over the world. Try them all ! In each style, humble grape has made a good selection of quality wine across the whole price range (first wine by the glass starts at £6, cheaper than some pubs of northcote road). Staff is great and friendly, ask them if you don't know what to choose. Try the meat platter, the pâté is excellent. You can also buy a bottle in the shop upstairs to bring back home when they close.

If you're thinking of charcuterie...yes: pick meats or cheese or, I think, both. You won't be able to resist that buffalo burrata (cheesy outside, milky middle). And for those lighter-fare type, the caprese doesn't sacrifice taste, and you still get those huge burrata. Beware the tomatoes are juicy enough to ruin your shirt (not a personal story by any means). Should you make it past the first course without sleep, be overwhelmed with the pasta choices in your second course. All the classics: pasta and gnocchi, red and creamy gorgonzola sauce, ravioli ravioli ravioli. Plenty of potatoes and seasonal vegetables for all you who love that. And you must return to taste the vast wine selection past working hours, accompanied by tiramisu, gelato, deconstructed cannolo, and of course a double-espresso nightcap.
