We went to the Ledbury for celebrating birthday. Ordered 6 courses for lunch. I have to say everything feels perfect, food, services, vibe etc. Got lovely birthday cards, birthday dessert plate, and I believe there are extra food or dessert for birthday as we definitely feel even too full after 6 courses. And the food itself is amazing as well. Creative and tasty, 10/10. We forgot to take a picture of the menu, and basically stopped the waiter for every plate to explain what it is. Thanks for the patience :))

Visited recently for a late lunch. I had already been a few years back when it held 2 Michelin Stars. I’m happy to say the 3rd star is very well deserved. The quality of ingredients and the skill in cooking make a meal here a relative bargain compared to some other offerings in London. Wine list is very wide ranging and still approachable. Service is knowledgeable without being overly stuffy or fussy. All things considered, it’s close to perfect.

I did the eight course tasting menu for £250. There was also a six course menu for £200. To me, all dishes were of supreme quality, but no dish had that “wow” effect on me.

This place had been on my list for a while and it mostly lived up to expectations. We came for Friday night dinner and enjoyed the relaxed and inviting atmosphere which struck a perfect balance without feeling too formal. The food was largely excellent, though the dessert unfortunately wasn't to my taste which was a shame. My favourites from the tasting menu were the tuna, scallop, duck and the pre dessert. The service was polished, friendly and helpful.

★★★★★

the best service of all the Michelin restaurants we have ever been to. Very friendly and positive staff. Excellent wine list. The food is generally really tasty and creative. It a couple of portions, in my opinion, the perfect combination of flavors was sacrificed to showiness and populism (like the dish with black caviar, which completely negated the flavor range of the other, really interesting ingredients. Overall a really cool restaurant with a good atmosphere, service, thoughtful details of dishes and interior and decent food.

One of my favorite 3 stars in the world! I think the price is so good for what you get. The food tastes amazing (there’s not a single dish that I don’t like, even the substitutions due to my dietary restrictions are well thought out, composed, dishes. And they are particularly good at seafood.) The service is on the next level. The first time I was here, they noticed that I wasn’t eating the sourdough crust, and for the next serving of bread they actually only gave me the middle parts!!!!!! This time around, my Mocktail came a little late and the sommelier felt so bad that he said it was on him! I have just been so impressed with the food and the attention to detail. I truly don’t understand how this could be only a 4.7!

Truly one of the best fine dining establishments in London. From the first starter to the final bite of dessert, there's a great combination of flavours. The cocktails were also exceptionally well done. A special shout out to the staff, as they were professional but not stuffy.

lovely restaurant in a very nice area. i went there for my birthday. we felt welcomed from the beginning. super friendly staff with a lot knowledge. food was amazing. plating on point and super interesting flavors and techniques. i loves that they have their own farms with animals and are very close to their suppliers. i could taste the amazing quality. my wife has a bell pepper intolerance and she got a great substitute dish. the owner is super friendly and comes to the table to present some dishes. great guy. hopefully i will manage to come back one day.. i would totally recommend this restaurant and wish all the staff all the best.

Nestled in the heart of the city, The Ledbury offers a contemporary take on classic comfort food, blending innovation with tradition. From the moment you step inside, the cozy yet modern ambiance welcomes you with its warm lighting, minimalist decor, and the faint aroma of fresh herbs and spices. The menu at The Ledbury is a delightful mix of familiar favorites and exciting new dishes. Their signature dish, is a must try. Service is impeccable; the staff are attentive without being overbearing. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent recommendations, ensuring we had a memorable experience from start to finish. The drink menu is diverse, with an excellent selection. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of food, service, and ambiance makes it well worth the investment. Whether youre here for a casual dinner or a special occasion, The Lesbury promises a dining experience that is both satisfying and memorable.

Three Michelin stars, The Ledbury It was the first time I ate raw ham and it tasted so good. I used to feel nauseous when I ate raw ham. Their dishes also incorporate many Japanese elements into them, giving Western food the lightness of Japanese food. The cinnamon rolls in the meal packages are huge. of praise! So delicious! Although I won t get three stars until 2024, I think gold will always shine! The chef often comes out to serve dishes and asks everyone about the delicacy of the dishes. The emotional value is very high. He also took us to visit the kitchen. The day of the meal was Chinese Valentines Day. It was a very happy day!

I had an absolutely dreadful experience at Ledbury. I was feeling unwell when I visited, and instead of receiving any empathy or proper service, I was met with complete indifference. The staff was rude and seemed uninterested in providing any help. The service was painfully slow, and the food was underwhelming at best. I ve had higher quality meals at cheaper places. For a restaurant with such a high reputation, I expected far more not just in terms of food but in customer service as well. I left feeling worse than when I came in. Absolutely disappointing, and I will never return. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.

Absolutely amazing food and service. There were pieces on the tasting menu that are mindboggingly delicious. The duck liver parfait and the langoustine-prawn cracker-lolly pop; I will be craving those for a long long time. It was a very duck heavy menu. Not something I would have normally ordered but it was fantastic. There was a flavour passing through each dish that sort of connected them all. The wine pairing was perfect and absolutely delicious. And once Id rolled myself home the 3 sweets they send you away with... I had some tangerine jelly, which was out of this world.

The Ledbury is an excellent choice for a special occasion, like a 10th anniversary dinner in our case. This Michelin-starred restaurant in Notting Hill is known for its exceptional cuisine, elegant atmosphere, and attentive service. The menu at The Ledbury features contemporary European cuisine with a focus on seasonal ingredients and innovative flavors. The service is impeccable, with knowledgeable and attentive staff who are happy to guide you through the menu. The only reason for my lower rating is that at the end of our dining experience, I noticed that one of the desserts of the tasting menu was never served to me. Which was very disappointing as their excuse was that because my partner is a coeliac, they didnt want to serve it to me, so he doesnt feel hes missing out!? What poor excuse, especially that throughout the tasting menu, they have adapted some of the dishes to his dietary restrictions while I was served everything as it was described on the menu.

November 22, 2024

November 22, 2024

The service and atmosphere were lovely, but the food wasn t quite to my taste. I was informed that the ingredients were carefully selected by the chef, with some even being homegrown. However, the seasoning was overpowering, and the food was far too salty, making it difficult to appreciate the natural flavors of the ingredients.

Had a great time here with my friends. My friend is pescatarian and she liked the adjustments that catered to her needs too. Everything is well-presented. My main was venison and it was cooked to perfection, one of the highlights of the meal. The chocolate in the end was not very much to my likings, but my friends liked them!

We came here on our honeymoon with much anticipation and high expectations. TLDR amazing team, great appetiser and mains. Dessert needs work. If I could I would give The Ledbury a solid 4.6/5 but unfortunately google doesn t allow. We arrived on a Saturday night for the first seating at 6pm. We were greeted warmly at the door. Our bags stowed and coats checked away neatly. We were sat and immediately the team came up and congratulated us sincerely and surprised us with a hand written card. We were off to a great start. Polite conversation with the service staff were welcomed and you can really feel a sense of genuine character with all the team. The appetisers came out while we were selecting drinks and they were amazing! Throughout the evening pacing was great we never felt rushed nor any major gaps in service. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and passionate about the wine paring. As we progressed I have to say the goats milk butter was really not for me it was too strong but interesting. The different cuts of venison were really interesting and nice. Where I felt like some improvements could be made are in the desserts department. All in all still a great evening and we really enjoyed it!

Definitely it is not worth 3 michelin stars. Having been in another restaurants with this reward (in another countries) it is far from them. You should expect and get an experience from start to finish, and you do not get that here. Reception is cold, we arrive 15min earlier and they sent us outside: you would expect that they accomodate you in a waiting room for having an appetizer instead. The food was ok but most of dishes had a background taste (maybe meat brom, and something acid, sake or lime keffir) that make them too similar and no outstanding. The ambient is ok but nothing outstanding. Although i am not fan, you would expect a visit to the kitchen or something surprising, but it never occurs. The service is kind and good though. Overall, you get a 1 michelin star experience, but no 3.

We went for a birthday lunch and had a really nice time. The waiters were kind and attentive and the food extremely good. The slight disappointment came when we were told that the entire group had to either have the 6 or 8 course menu and that they could not allow for a mix, with some of the group to having the 6 and others the 8 course option. Kitchen challenges were cited as the reason but it was unclear why dropping some courses for some guests would present a problem. Maybe it was more convenient for them or financially better for them to have us all commit to 8 courses?! Anyway, we had a nice time despite this point.

The service was excellent. However the interior is very chic, but more importantly, the food is terrible! All the dishes were overly salty, and the taste was unpleasant. We felt we needed to rinse our mouths after some of the courses, particularly the main course. The quality of the food is also poor. For example, they use the cheapest N25 Kaluga Caviar (China origin with antibiotics), which tastes utterly bad. Dont they have money for good ingredients?
