Galvin La Chapelle in Tower Hamlets

My wife treated me to a lovely meal here on Friday. We opted for the 7 course tasting menu and I really could not fault it. Each course was presented perfectly and delicious. The servers were all great and hats off to one who noted my wife uses her cutlery the other way round ( i forgot his nsme ) Attention to detail. That’s only ever happened once before in The Fat Duck. By the time the 7th course arrived we were pretty full up but we had a go. The setting of the restaurant was in an old school and it looked lovely. Thank you to all team at Galvin La Chappele for making our evening perfect in everyway.

had the taster menu. I really think the portions on each plate were too small, although they were delicious. red mullet was so delicious. Please consider the portion sizes and it would be 5 stars for food. From looking around the a la carte menu seemed to have good portions. otherwise a lovely afternoon with pleasant and knowledgeable staff, nice wine and a charming venue.

Absolutely delicious! Just had the BEST lunch for a family birthday. I'm Dairy & Gluten Free and was able to have the 7 course Gourmand menu, with obvious modifications, but NO fuss. It was wonderful to feel 'normal' and not to have to work my way through an allergens list. The GF bread was the best I've ever tasted! Thank you to Giles and everyone at Galvin la Chappelle who looked after us beautifully and made us feel so welcome and special. The venue is gorgeous and although this was our first visit, it won't be our last. Thank you. Philippa, Ian & Louisa X

Galvin is a stalwart of French cooking in London, and offers one of the best vfm set menu experiences. I went to try the Taste Of Summer menu. We started with a gazpacho, followed by sauteed squid, and a deconstructed cassoulet for the main course, with dessert courses coming after. I liked all the courses with the cassoulet and the lemon tart being the highlights, and the squid being the lowlight. However, I did feel that the portions could have been a little bigger. Great selection of wines, and expert sommeliers to guide selection improved the dining experience . The dining room itself is monumental and worth a glance on its own.

Beautiful restaurant, good food, but amazing service. The shining star was the treatment of our children and my guests. The service was better than my last visit to Per Se. The children's offering was sophisticated in perpetration but accessible to younger palettes. My children can handle tasting menus just fine but having a children's meal available was such a nice touch. The manager noticed one of the dishes wasn't finished and inquired. Our guest was older and having a bit of trouble chewing. They were graciously offered a cheese plate which they loved. I wasn't wowed by a fish dish we had and there was a bit too much popcorn and coco on the foie gras but it was tasty all the same. The visit left a lasting positive impression and we still speak about it often which I can't say the same about other higher rated establishments we've been to. Nothing makes memories more than the treatment you receive and Galvin La Chapelle really delivered on our visit. Wonderful experience and if you're in the area I highly recommend a visit. It wasn't perfection but it was a perfect afternoon for our family. I can't wait to return next Summer.

We had a wonderful experience here for my 40th birthday - the food was incredible, beautifully presented and the venison and red mullet were particular highlights. The staff were fantastic, attentive and Giles in particular made it special! Thank you so much, we'll certainly return!

Wonderful first experience for a Sunday lunch that was bought for us as a voucher. Attentive and friendly staff. Exquisite food. Lovely setting. We will be back.

Absolutely wonderful staff, delicious food and a very relaxed atmosphere. Also excellent value with their set menu options

Giles and team really know their craft. As always amazing dining experience at GALVINS restaurants. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you for amazing time

Gorgeous food, wonderful setting and impeccable service.

The presentation of the food was elegant and delightful. Giles was fantastic and extremely attentive, not to mention funny! He made our evening all the more enjoyable. All the waiting staff were also very friendly and very welcoming; I would definitely visit again.

Giles has been excellent and attentive to us from the start. Gave us a run down of what to expect and the history of the place, really made us feel special. We were unsure what to expect when we book this, but have not regretted at all. The Crab Raviolo was divine. The Guinea Fowl excellent. Great lunch and service. Leon was brilliant as well, he carried himself so well when introducing the dishes.

We had an amazing time at Galvin- Gi Elios has been so kind and very lovely - worth going to the restaurant just to be served by him. I would definitely recommend it!

Good service, very nice hospitality.thank you, Giles.

Giles was perfect with us tonight. Very Nice place. I recommand.

Great food, great service , great atmosphere overall. Went there just after Christmas with my daughter and husband and it was very memorable. This is a return visit and I’m sure will go again. Definitely recommend it! ❤️

Fantastic food and excellent service particularly from Giles

Food was amazing , vibe was excellent , Giles and staff (including bar, George and rest) took care of us. Thank you!

CI SONO STATO PIU VOLTE NEGLI ANNI Posizione non comodissima rispetto al centro. Struttura bellissima e affascinante molto accogliente. Cucina ricercata di ottima qualità Servizio IMOECCABILE Prezzi corretti CI TORNERÒ SIC URAMENTE

Absolutely fantastic place very friendly staff service was excellent. Would recommend to anyone. Sunday lunch very recommend 👌

While the service was attentive, multiple waiters made rude comments that rubbed us the wrong way. We didn’t order a lot because we had an unexpected event to attend after where we would be eating as well. When we ate our appetizers and enjoyed them, a waiter commented on how quickly we ate and stated we must be hungry. When we left behind some food in our main course which was already light (it honestly wasn’t the best tasting), a different waiter commented on how we didn’t order enough, which didn’t even make sense since we didn’t finish the dishes. I find it in extremely bad taste for anyone to comment on someone’s eating habits, especially in a judgmental way as they did. Overall, we would definitely not come back and did not enjoy our time.

Our waiter Giles was kind and thoughtful, thank you for the lovely meal and service.

Food seemed to be precooked from the previous day like every single high end restaurant in London, when it came to my table it was tasteless so I had to wash it with some water as it felt awful. Service was terrible as well with waiters ignoring our table when we were calling for them constantly. Then we heard a manager abusing one of the members of staff in the back area that could be LOUDLY heard across the hall. We went on the middle of the week and the place was not busy at all. Definetly not worth the price of the experience to have such an embarrasing display. At least we liked the hanging chandelier, very classy.

Atmosfære, service, vin og mad. Alt er i top og anbefales på det varmeste! Bestemt et besøg værd, og alt gik op i en højere enhed.

Everything from the elegant atmosphere to the perfectly crafted dishes exceeded expectations. The food was a flawless blend of classic French flavors and modern creativity, with each dish showcasing incredible attention to detail. Our experience was made even more memorable by Teresa, our waitress, whose warm and attentive service, along with her expert recommendations, elevated the evening. For outstanding food and impeccable hospitality, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.

The venue is stunning, but for a restaurant with such an amazing reputation - perhaps my expectations were set too high. Galvin is lovely, it’s the sort of place you take your parents from outside of London for a special occasion. But if you are looking for an experience that makes you feel special and the food makes you stop mid sentence- this isn’t it. The service generally was good - a few different specialists attend across the sitting. However as a pregnant lady I struggled. Vegetarian does not automatically mean suitable for pregnant women and most dishes on the menu had some element of raw or unpasteurised ingredient. Having been to restaurants that cater really well for pregnant women- the Scarlet Hotel restaurant in Cornwall is seriously unparalleled in my experience to date- I found knowledge and in turn accommodation a bit limited at Galvin. When brought a vegetarian amuse bouche, no one said it was going to be covered in fresh truffle - which I would normally love, but being pregnant it’s something you could steer clear of. When I flagged I was pregnant and couldn’t have raw truffle, the gentleman told me he had never heard of pregnant women not being able to have truffle. Which is fine, but it felt like I was being told ‘it’s fine’… opposed to this being a new bit of information for the kitchen to consider. I was offered some more bread, which I was happy to have- but as some have already reviewed the bread portion is tiny to start with. Prior to this - I had asked what ‘Kohlrabi’ was, to be told ‘it’s a vegetable…if you want I can check on my phone’ which I found odd.. He did come back later with more description, that it is a root vegetable and a bit like garlic. I can check on my phone too.. but I guess for this standard of restaurant I would have expected staff to know. After this I was asked several times if there was anything they could do to accommodate, but if I am honest I had little faith they understood what would be suitable for me so just stuck with a cod main to avoid anymore awkward exchanges. It’s the little things really- I ordered a mocktail at the start of my meal, it was taken away and I was never asked again if I wanted anything else to drink. The food was probably the biggest let down, I had the Cod and the Panettone. Both were cooked well, but the flavours were nondescript. I could get over the service if the food was mind blowing, but I can honestly say restaurants without Michelin stars present more flavoursome or notable dishes.

Great food, and even better service. Genuinely feels like you've had a nice massage afterwards cause you feel so relaxed.

Third visit today in a few years - first experience was exceptional, second was great, third was okay. Overall it's an enjoyable meal in a beautiful building with good service, but it's not good enough for the options at this price point in London and unfortunately I won't be returning. I've detailed the reasons below. Individually these could be ignored. But a lukewarm welcome, not explaining the process, offering a limited and verbal vegetarian menu, spilling a drink, overcharging on a bill, all for £180 for two people? In my opinion, it's just not worth it when there are so many options in London. - The entrance and exit experience feels flat, like checking in at a basic hotel. - No one was in control, nor explained what to expect. The first waiter presented a wine menu, which I explained we wouldn't need as we were having the set menu which came with wine. He seemed frustrated, and said my choice was Sauvignon blanc or garnacha. But he didn't take my wine order, this was taken later with the food menu. If I'd ordered wine and then been given the set menu, I'd be disappointed to see wine was an option. - Although the second waiter acknowledged that we were vegetarian, as we had let them know before arriving, a vegetarian menu was not provided and instead he verbally explained the vegetarian options to us, which made the menu largely redundant as all mains were meat or fish. Why not print off a few vegetarian menus? - A different waiter served us bread, and a fourth waiter took away our plates. A few times they asked the table next to us the same thing - do you want to order water when there was water on the table, asking if everything is okay when someone else asked a few minutes ago. Why are four different people serving a table of two? - I struggled to understand what some of the waiting staff were saying at times. Partly this is the acoustics of the room, partly the accents, but also partly that it feels like the staff are repeating the same process day in day out, like it's a script. I also find that there is an aloofness with some of the older waiting staff. - This is a pedantic point to raise, but when the waiter first poured our water, he spilled some on the glass and the table. It was rushed, even though it's a few seconds to do properly. - The vegetarian options were both limited in number and focus. They were effectively the meat options, without the meat. This meant one of the starters was some lentils and soup, barely five spoonfulls. The protein however wasn't replaced, which meant we left hungry. We had the exact same experience previously with the tasting menu. - Finally, we were overcharged on the bill for two bottles of water, when we only ordered the one, which I had to highlight to the waiter. As I say, all small issues. But not at this price point in a Michelin starred restaurant.

Great food and amazing staff, highly recommend

Outstanding festive set lunch Our third visit to Galvin La Chapelle this time with a new set of guests, such an impressive setting and very festive. We visited with an 18 month old and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Beautiful French food and exceptional value for money

We have been visiting this wonderful restaurant for many years. Fabulous food, consistently good service and a beautiful setting. We had our wedding breakfast here and celebrated the birth of our daughter.

This year, my birthday felt truly special. From receiving heartfelt wishes from friends and family across the globe to being treated like a queen. 🥰 This year Galvin La Chapelle gave my excitement a new heights. This exquisite Michelin-starred restaurant, nestled in the heart of London, perfectly blends old-world charm with modern elegance. Located conveniently near Liverpool Street station, the venue boasts breathtaking high stone ceilings and large arched windows, creating an ambiance that was just perfect for my birthday celebration. 🥳🎊🥂 We indulged in modern French fine dining with a delightful European influence. The glamour of the setting, combined with the vibrant yet effortless atmosphere, transported me to a world of fantastic cuisine and unmatched service. Because it was my birthday, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel like a princess. They served me personalized dishes and drinks, which left me feeling incredibly grateful. Their attention to detail and impeccable service made the evening truly exceptional. Every member of the team was both talented and gracious, contributing to a remarkable experience. 👨‍🍳🍽️🍝 I specifically want to mention the two servers who served and guide us through us through our whole experience. They were an absolute star. Thank you again the whole team for feeling my heart with gratitude. ♥️

Quite noisy. Food was just average. Wine list relatively limited. Service below average. We order a Burgundy wine but they didn’t give us Burgundy wine glasses until we asked for them. Can’t believe it is a Michelin one-star restaurant.

In terms of service, I'd give an easy 9.5/10 because Giles has been incredible and friendly, he took time to have a friendly chat. In terms of food I've been specifically disappointed by one dish, the conchiglie, a bit too al dente for my taste but more importantly, pasta in a 5/7 courses Menu? It is a bit unexpected and not in the right way. For this reason, I'd give a 7/10. I expect way more from a restaurant with a high standard like this.

Very reasonable price for the festival lunch ser

Giles made my experience at Galvin La Chapelle unforgettable. From remarks of the history of the place to recommendations on how to better enjoy the food Giles was nothing short of magnificent. What a great staff, and the food is top quality. Amazing!

We had a delightful 7- course tasting experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the flavours and representation of each dish. While the portions could be slightly larger, everything else was spot on. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we look forward to returning!

Giles has been very accommodating. We had a lovely dinner and enjoyed the whole experience.

Giles was outstanding!!!! He made our evening spectacular! Such amazing food and service!

Absolute robbery , my train my delayed and taxis cancelled last minute so couldn't make my 1400 table booking . Kept them informed and when I knew I was going to miss the 1430 cut off cancelled the table but got charged £100 booking penalty . A disgrace.

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 was invited here by my daughter to the 5 courses menu. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was great. However I expected better food from a Michelin star restaurant. Overall it was a good time.

What an incredible evening. The food, service and relaxed atmosphere was everything we had hoped for. If you are looking for a luxury dining experience to remember, Galvin La Chapelle is it! ✨️

Always a pleasure to visit and they never fail us.

Sublime food and service. Really worth the money, will definitely be back.

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.

Staff were fantastic and the food was exceptional, however no draught beer ( out of gas) then did not have the first choice of wine ( white malbec) missing a trick here, then did not have our second choice of wine in stock. Our visit was thursday lunch the sommelier did not order one of the cocktails that we ordered. Again if it wasn't for the waiting staff doing such a great job , sommelier excluded we would have given a lower star rating

Great location with modern and very classic design elements. Service very friendly, attentive and relaxed. The food was very good, the main course in the menu was my personal highlight. I think it's good value for money but almost a little too expensive. All in all, highly recommended for a special occasion.

Beautiful setting, with plenty of staff, high ceilings and interesting decor. Food 4/5, some consistency challenges. Desserts acceptable at best. £200 per person for a tasting menu (5 courses), no alcohol - seems excessive. Not a Michelin grade cooking. Poor value.

Well the only real criticism I have is that it was really very expensive although the other criteria on which dining experiences are rated were positive. The first 2 wine bottle selections I made were no longer available but still on their list so minor criticisms (although irritating) lie this take on greater importance when viewed against the main criticism of poor value.

I recently dined at Galvin La Chapelle, and it was a wonderful experience. The pasta was cooked to perfection—el dente and delicious. The service was exceptional, with the two young girls at the reception being particularly lovely. Overall, Galvin La Chapelle offers fantastic food and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended!

During a business trip to London, I had dinner at Galvin La Chapelle and was fully satisfied. The location is very suggestive and the French cuisine is refined and taken care of down to the smallest details. The gazpacho, in particular, was outstanding. The friendly and attentive staff made the experience even more pleasant. Edit October 2024: I returned to Galvin for another business dinner, and if anything the experience was even better! The mushroom-based menu is delicious, and once again high level service!

Amazing food and service. We had the Sunday set menu, 3 courses and some wine. Franco was brilliant and really attentive. Highly recommend

The experience was amazing. The service was great. Every 5 minutes, you can see waiters looking over to check up on you. Never leaving you waiting for something. They also frequently clean your table which is a nice touch. The food was amazing. I bought the 7 course tasting menu. Each meal had a flavor that followed another and another. My favorites were the potato dish, a BBQ rib and a chocolate cake with mandarine sauce pistachio ice cream. There was also the bread they brought which came along with some amazing fish butter which combined perfectly with the bread. They have small plates to place the bread and a butter knife to use the butter. Overall a great experience, if someone is thinking of trying out this place go ahead. It'll be worth your time and money.

Could not be faulted at any level. The set menu is remarkable value for money. Fabulous staff. A genuine pleasure to be there.

I spotted the Autumn menu was back and visited again with a friend. Each course was very good showing off the flavoursome mushrooms with some good textures too and the high-quality sauce making you'd expect. I don't normally get excited about fish courses but the grey mullet was surprisingly good. The venison was good and celeriac was a great companion. If the last course is a dessert then the audience will be very divided on that. I enjoyed it but I wouldn't consider it a dessert. Some excellent petit fours appeared while we discussed the dessert question accompanied by a pleasant dessert wine. At 60 pounds including a glass of (decent) cremant it's very good value. I did the matched wines for 94 in total, recommended. I particularly liked the pinot gris, never thought I'd say that. For a dinner I consider the dishes to be slightly too small even with the bread. My friend noticed a few occasional mild wafts of drain smells, this must have been subtle as they didn't reach the other side of the table. There was occasionally a bit of imprecision in the descriptions of the dishes/wines as they were delivered. I'd say it would be 5/5 without those factors.

Absolutely fabulous meal at Galvin La Chapelle. We were given a voucher for Christmas last year and finally got around to using it. We weren’t disappointed! The building is stunning inside. The staff were really friendly and very helpful, the food came quickly so we were never waiting too long for our courses. They brought us out a canapé to start with our sparkling wine. We had Duck Liver Royale and Scottish Salmon for starters, both had the sirloin for mains and and Apple tart and warm chocolate mousse for dessert. This would be a wonderful location for a special night out.

Kind welcome, service as impeccable as the dishes. A special greeting to the sommelier who helped us with the experience. The location is one of the best in London. Very recommended

Great food and great service. Excellent environment for a chill gathering.

From the moment we arrived everything was spot on. The food was stunning, especially the scallops starter, staff couldn’t do enough for us. It was my partner’s birthday and he was wished happy birthday by multiple members of the team which was a very personal touch. I am coeliac and always a bit worried about dining out, however everything was taken care of and explained so I felt very safe. Beautiful setting too which made for a memorable day. We will definitely return.

Another fabulous meal. This place consistently delivers on taste, venue, and hospitality from a great team. The minute you walk through the door you are greeted by smiling faces. Turn left to the bar for the best negronis and when you’re ready turn right to be taken through the immaculate dining room, don’t forget to look up to appreciate the holy architecture! Then the food! And the wines! Divine! Looking forward to our next visit bringing some friends in a few weeks

Relaxing place for a top quality lunch with very good service.

Great food, Great service. Love this place.

Alright. Michelin star but slightly overcooked fish. The rest was excellent and the service impeccable.

For me, Galvin La Chapelle is the finest restaurant in London in terms of the adaptabiliy and consistent high quality of their cooking and service, and looking after their customers. We have what everywhere else considers extraordinarily difficult dietary requirements and an inconvenience, but Galvin LC appears to see them as an exciting challenge, which they always overcome to create quite beautiful food. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic! Had the 7 course vegetarian menu and added wine pairing. Staff were lovely and service was great, food was delish and would highly recommend :)

Fantastic food and excellent service. The Sommelier was amazing, providing excellent advice. Will definitely be back.

Excellent meal at La Chapelle, creative French cuisine as you would expect from a one star, impeccabile service and beautiful location

Excellent meal with outstanding personal service.

Really great experience! The staff was so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is great, gorgeous place. Didn’t feel too stuck up like a lot of Michelin restaurants. We had the set menu which came with a couple of extra little things in between. The highlight was probably the mushroom starter.

Very disappointing, we had a reservation from 9:15pm - 00:15am and didn’t get the menu. Even the confirmed reservation was for 3 (!!) hours, we just came there because of the menu.

Exceptional customer service from beginning to end. Everyone was lovely. We had a 3 course set meal and it was all amazing. Highlights were crab raviolo. The sauces, accompaniments worked so well with the dish. Would highly recommend.

The food was good, the pigeon in particular was excellent as was the John Dorry However very chaotic and disappointing service - food menus were only given to us 10 minutes after sitting down, dirty plates took an age to be cleared (we even had to wave at waiters to come clear plates / empty glasses at various points) - not what you expect from a restaurant of this supposed quality and price

First visit. Won’t be back. The building is beautiful but not really over joyed with the service or the food. There was no description of our dishes when they were served. Had to ask for a wine list as not offered. We bought in a bottle of Dom Perignon as a birthday gift for a friend and were told by two waiters that it would have been better if we’d bought a different vintage. Quite arrogant and rude. The duck was tough and the mushroom starter was tiny. Service was aloof. Shame really as it had so much promise. Perhaps the Michelin star makes the staff think they’re better than the customers.

Outstanding surrounds, food, service, and wine and cocktail lists. Would return/recommend in a New York heartbeat. Not cheap but reasonable when considering the Michelin star Galvin rightly possesses.

Excellent food, value and service. Would highly recommend.

I went to this restaurant for lunch today with a friend. Although I have been there before it still is a great place to go. Wonderful and extremely attentive staff, the food was simply delicious and with beautiful presentation. The atmosphere is formal, yet very relaxing. The venue is stunning, and what appears to be an old restored Chappel. All together we both enjoyed everything very much indeed. Thank you!

Excellent place to celebrate my partner's birthday. Fabricio, Valeriano (i hope i have recorded the staff names correctly, apologies, if not) and the rest of the team made our experience fantastic from the moment we entered the beautiful, historic building. We felt truly special and taken care of. Food was without doubt delicious, presented beautifully, served graciously explaining all the detail around it. The sommelier suggested a beautiful sparkling wine, excellent to my liking, we did not regret the choice. My partner was positively surprised when the desert with a candle arrived, such a sweet touch and subtle presentation. Everyone made sure that we have the best time, I would not hesitate to going back again and recommending this restaurant. We particularly enjoyed the smooth cooperation between everyone on the floor, everything was orchestrated so well, and we could also see the chefs in the kitchen via the small window, which was quite nice. To all the staff on Sunday: Thank you a million for making our little celebration so beautiful and enjoyable! You truly are a special place and fantastic people.

Nice place and relaxed for class restaurant Food this and my first time visiting was a let down for such restaurant of its reputation As a chef myself I could see many mistakes in the dishes 3 course menu Table next to us they sent back food under cooked and cold Lovely building and service

Every single member of staff were so lovely and super helpful. The food was delcious, I have no criticism! Wouldn't change a thing about our experience! Thank you to everyone at 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.

A superb lunch with tasty food, delicious wine and excellent friendly service. Will be back soon!

We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and our anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience. A big thank you to Franco and his team for the warm and exceptional service that made our day more special, especially to Tomas who was attentive to our dietary requirements and helped us take a few photos (We love the photos. Thank you!) We had a three course meal with a couple of glasses of wine. The food was beautifully presented and well seasoned. We particularly love the bream carpaccio and the white chocolate mousse - both were absolutely delicious! The complimentary bread with anchovy butter was also remarkable. Would definitely recommend dining at this gorgeous venue, especially if you are looking for a place to celebrate special occasions.

Absolutely stunning restaurant with a nice mixture of formal and informal vibe. Excellent service from a team of passionate and knowledgeable staff. We had a great experience and would certainly recommend it.

A beautiful restaurant with a peaceful ambience. The food was superb, and Francesco the sommelier was extremely friendly and helpful. Tomasz also gave expert table service. We will be dining there again. Thank you.

We had a very good time in this restaurant! We tried different plates but our favourite was the chocolate mousse dessert; warm foamy chocolate coupled with ice cream and hazelnuts giving it the perfect texture. The place has a very nice interior and there is parking right outside of it. Would recommend it.

The food was great, but I wouldn’t recommend going outside of key times. The sommelier was excellent, but the rest of the staff seemed to be rushing us out as soon as we arrived. We ordered a cocktail and, later, wine, but the first course was served while we were still finishing our cocktails within a few minutes, despite them not being paired. This rushed pacing continued throughout the night, with courses being served without any description from the waiter, until the fourth course when we stopped and asked for more details. This isn’t the usual standard for a place of this price or reputation.

We went recently for the 5 courses menu. The decor is very nice, the food was enjoyable, though not exceptional. However, the service was quite disappointing, particularly for a Michelin 1* restaurant. The experience didn’t even match the standard of an average restaurant in London. We waited 10 minutes before receiving the menus, and no one took the time to explain them. Our wine order was a disaster: we requested it three times before it was taken and another three times before it was served, arriving only after our food. The dishes were barely described, with the staff cutting explanations short and disappearing mid-sentence. Given that it was a quiet Sunday evening, this level of service was unacceptable. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant, far better options in the area.

We had an amazing time. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. It felt like a special experience and I would recommend

The lighting may just be a little too bright but that's a personal preference. The tables are close to each other so conversations are open to all ears. Food and service was good with room for improvement being a Michelin 1 star. Nice experience and would recommend to try at least once.

Wonderful lunch, with impeccable service !

I had made an error on the booking and had thought that I booked for the special menu, but had not. They did everything they could to accommodate us and even gave us extra treats as it was our anniversary. The food was superb. We had a very special experience.

Stellar meal! Really amazing flavours, textures, beautifully presented. Their own brand house champagne was also excellent. Kudos to the manager, who sorted out issues I'd had navigating the website (on the same premises, if I now understand correctly, are two different restaurants. We ended up in the Michelin star one - so pay close attention when booking). In any event, all the staff was extremely professional and accommodating (and charming). Wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning. Thanks again

Probably the most attentive service, we had an outstanding meal trying out the Taste of Summer menu, everything was perfect! Highly recommend!

This restaurant is great. It is a beautiful setting, the food, wine and service is always exceptional. Just exquisite.

We were attended to by a lovely gentleman named Rocco (I believe he is Italian and even taught us how to say "welcome" in Italian—how kind!). He went above and beyond to give us the experience we needed and wanted. I had booked a dinner for myself and my friend as a catch-up a month ago, but for some reason, the website didn't book the Taste of Summer menu for us. Rocco informed us of this, but then kindly requested the chef to prepare it for us anyway. That was truly the kindest thing he could have done for us. I am highly impressed with his willingness to accommodate us on such short notice.

Dining at La Chapelle is less a meal, more a set piece event, where you’re the audience. From the moment you set foot in the Grade II-listed former chapel, until the time comes to begrudgingly step back out into the streets of Spitalfields, the wider world pauses whilst you take in the culinary spectacle. We sat down for my fiancé’s birthday. One of the few Michelin-starred restaurants to cater for, meat-eaters, vegetarians and vegans, we sought out the menu gourmand and its vegetarian sibling. The menus were preceded by a canapé - a small, light bite of gustatory wonder - and the sommelier helping us select our aperitif. We failed to receive a single plate that did not burst with precisely framed colour. The plating was impeccable, the different shapes and colours danced round in the bowl: girolle and deep violet flower atop seared tuna ceviche combined woodland and sea; charred escarole obscured by a foamy sangria viniagrette alluded to a hidden forest of flavours. Every dish combined complementing textures and tastes. It was gustatory entertainment, rather than simply one of three daily meals. Each dish was brought out (almost) like clockwork, and one can only marvel at the show. So many moving parts - the sommelier floating from table to table with a chummy comment and an insightful wine suggestion; the runners ferrying cutlery to the place of each patron whose mouth waters at the coming of the next act; the waiters cruising from the service hatch to the destination, presenting the dish with a flourish of pouring; the head waiter gliding round effortlessly, checking in with each guest to make sure that their evening is made up, his reassuringly unflustered demeanour hinting at his decades of expertise in such demanding environments. We were not left wanting for anything (including bread, of which the offer of another delicious plate was eventually and politely refused). The staff make this place - they have the perfect balance of warmth, friendliness, professionalism, attentiveness, and the knack of seeming conscious that, ultimately, you’re here to enjoy a special evening with your close friend. I have never been to quite so impressive and accommodating restaurant, nor had such competent and artful professionals serve me plates of such mind-blowing pleasure. Sure, the lo-fi house music that is two-a-penny in high-end London establishments felt incongruous, and something softer and more analogue might have better-suited the vibe, although equally it might have not. Ultimately, through La Chapelle, we have been introduced to a novel and magical way of experiencing food. La Chapelle will live long in my memory, and the warmth we felt when the head waiter, Franco, wished my fiancé a good birthday and thanked us for celebrating it with them, I felt like it won’t be the only memory of this place that we will create.

Lovely restaurant, the service wasn't quite the level you would expect for food of the level being served. E.g. the sauces poured at the table were thrown on rather than being poured delicately. The tasting menu was delicious but it felt like the staff serving the food were new to high level service.
