Galvin La Chapelle

I visited this restaurant some time ago, and while I’m certain the menu has evolved since then, perhaps this review will still be useful to someone. The location is undoubtedly one of its most unique qualities—set in a repurposed chapel, the ambiance is distinct, blending historic charm with modern dining. The menu was versatile, and as a vegetarian, I had no trouble finding suitable options. While none of the dishes left a lasting impression in terms of standout flavors, the food was certainly pleasant—well-prepared, with clean presentations. It didn’t push boundaries but offered an honest, satisfying meal. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive and professional, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We invited guests who thoroughly enjoyed the occasion, largely thanks to the seamless and polished service. Overall, while the food may not have been groundbreaking, the combination of setting, service, and solid execution made for a pleasant dining experience.

Unfortunately I would say that they do not deserve a Michelin rating. The ambiance is nice but very noisy. Cannot be considered as fine dining. Service isn’t good, took a while for them to give us a menu after we were seated. And not to mention the really long wait for our main course to be served. Before that even the complementary bread was mediocre and stingy. Only 2 half slices of seeded sourdough. Though they are willing to top it up, they could have presented a proper bread basket. Food was average, not worth a mention. Overall sorry, Not worth a visit.

I visited some years ago. Went for the tasting menu. The food was delicious and perfectly presented. Offering a wide range of tastes and textures. The setting is jaw dropping, nothing else like it in London, and I don't know if anything like it elsewhere in the world. The ceilings are so high that on some days you can't see it due to the fog. With high windows, the restaurant floods with light whilst not having those outside looking in.
