Trivet in Southwark

Very mediocre service, no good fun energy, very average food. They started cleaning up as we were eating dinner. Have no idea how they got two stars.

Truly amazing food. Incredible taste and smell. Very welcoming service. Wonderful sommelier who helped us chose great wine for our budget. Can’t recommend highly enough

Fantastic lunch experience at Trivet, where you can have a relatively laid-back meal with attentive service, outstanding dishes and wines without going through the lengthy process of a tasting menu. Special thanks to Sofia and her wine advice, and to the whole staff who complemented the cuisine making the lunch a 360degree experience in less than 90 minutes.

My son selected this restaurant for his 40th birthday. There were four of us. Atmosphere was similar to McDonald’s. It was cold, despite us asking for the temp to be raised, and very noisy. The GPlan furniture reminded me of living in an army married quarter. One shabbily dressed diner had his laptop on the table so that he could entertain himself. Food was limited in choices. My wife can’t eat anything with small seeds, such as tomatoes, strawberries and figs. This was pointed out to the waiter but he didn’t mention that the focaccia had small seeds when he served it. The sweetbreads were tasty but the rest of the food on the plate was undistinguishable. It was all contained in the sauce. The fries were mediocre at best and they, along with everything else that we were served, was just warm. £30 for a small bowl of mash? £30 for a125ml glass of wine? £45 for a spaghetti and small lobster tail starter. They are taking the Mickey. The service was slow, extra butter for the bread took 25 minutes to arrive, and then it was frozen. We had to ask for the empty plates to be removed to make space on the table for our main sides.

Fine dining in a relaxed and cozy atmosphere - I can see why this place has 2 stars as the service was impeccable, and we felt so well looked after. We loved that there was no tasting menu, which meant a more streamlined experience without the long 4-hour sitting. Service was smooth and efficient throughout. 👌 The drunken lobster and roast pigeon were standouts - absolutely delicious. ⭐️ While the Hokkaido potato is a popular choice, we found it slightly underwhelming. Overall I’d 100% recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

Trivet Michelin two-star recognition The advantage of a restaurant that rises very quickly from one star to two stars in two years is that I want all of the a la carte menu. A table of desserts shocked the next table! Napoleon loves it so much!

Langosta borracha sabía fresca con un umami muy encantador. La paloma fue la paloma más suave que he tenido. El personal también me ha enviado una tarjeta de cumpleaños encantadora ya que era mi cumpleaños cuando visité para cenar.

Drunken lobster tasted fresh with a very lovely umami. The pigeon was the softest ever pigeon I’ve ever had.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We had John Dory fish and lamb for main. Broccoli and pickled beetroot as sides. Great combination of flavours. Australian Chardonnay was great too.

Always a great experience- but i especially like casual Mondays

High food quality in a very relaxed atmosphere. Probably the only 2 or 3 starred Michelin restaurant without a tasting menu. Worth trying the drunk lobster starter !

45 quid for half a lobster tail, and pasta that had a store bought texture rather than the silkiness you should get from fresh made, in a super salty broth that I had to send it back...is this a joke? Not sure why people are rating it so highly, I would be embarrassed to serve this food at this price. For reference, a whole lobster tail is 6.99 in Waitrose so not sure where they get off charging so much for a measly half. Mackerel and John Dory were just ok. Better food to be had elsewhere nearby for less

The lunch I had today at Trivet was wonderful and most certainly deservable of two michelin stars. Due to having an ala carte menu maybe there werent any major surprises but all we ordered was great. The star of everything we ordered was surely the pigeon which i highly recommend.

Tuvimos un excelente almuerzo aquí. Con pan dulce y paloma para el almuerzo. El personal era excelente y la atención al detalle excelente. La comida sabe increíble y el vino junto fue ejemplar. Una queja. Llamé a principios de semana para subir nuestra reserva de 2 a 3. A lo que se negaron. Cuando asistimos, durante todo el almuerzo la mesa de al lado era gratis! Mala forma. £ 400 Para dos personas fue más alto de lo que esperaba. Pero la experiencia valió la pena. Recomiendo encarecidamente y mantenerlo.

Ambiente agradable y relajado y la comida es lo que se esperaría de chefs tan creativos. Para mí un poco demasiado ruidoso para una cena para ponerse al día con todas las noticias. Pero si te gusta ese tipo de zumbido entonces te encantará este lugar. Excelente todo - redondo.

Lunch on Saturday with tip top service and amazing food and wine. Particularly loved the grilled sweetbread and the squab pigeon. A very relaxed vibe for a 2 Michelin star restaurant. No set chef's menu or wine flight extravaganza here. My only criticism was the noise level was on the high side, no due to the absence of sound reducing carpeting & curtains. Highly recommended and excellent value for a 2 star establishment.

I could not say enough good things about this place. My fiancé and I went here to celebrate our engagement and the staff made it extra special. The food was outstanding as were the wine pairings. Special thank you to Marina, Laura, and Mos for taking such good care of us. The whole staff is just lovely. I highly recommend eating here, you won’t be disappointed.

Food was good, wines so so. Very overpriced but overall service did not meet expectations zero carisma and atmosphere. Disappointed. Wouldn’t recommend.

If I didn’t know this was a Michelin 2* restaurant, I would have thought the food perfectly pleasant. However, I can’t for the life of me work out how this restaurant even got one star, let alone two. Let’s start with the positives. The staff are lovely and friendly and the service is great. The wine list is awesome and the staff are very knowledgeable about which wines go best with the different dishes. The bread and butter is delicious, especially the homemade focaccia. The sweetbread starter was nice and tasty but very vinegary. However, the lamb main was mediocre at best. It costs about 50 pounds but you only get about three small bites of lamb from three very tiny chops. They were mostly fat but not edible fat - instead of being melt-in-the-mouth, it was chewy and rubbery and inedible. The smoked aubergine on the side was very bland. Also the beetroot and “ricotta” side was burnt black to a crisp and the fries were limp and tasteless. The Hokkaido potato dessert was pleasant enough but far too heavy to be a Michelin * dessert - more the kind of thing you would have with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I think this place would be a really nice wine bar. The fact that it was about two thirds empty at 7pm on a Saturday also speaks volumes. They are obviously very well connected with the Michelin critics and I hope they find their niche but they are really not deserving of a Michelin star. Sorry. I really wanted to be wowed but I’ve eaten at so many amazing restaurants around the world to know that this isn’t it… yet.

¿Cuál es el criterio de Michelin 2 estrellas por favor? La comida y el servicio son tanto así - por lo que ofrecen una buena gama de vinos. El restaurante utiliza repetidamente la misma salsa para 2 platos principales, lo que es realmente decepcionante. Además realmente no podemos entender o apreciar lo que hace que los platos sean excepcionales / sabrosos. Es solo comida normal. Además su servicio es el peor que he experimentado entre Michelin 2 estrellas, los camareros no son atentos, además el tiempo de espera tomó demasiado tiempo. No recomendaría a nadie perder su tiempo para este restaurante - tal vez esa es la razón por la que son fáciles de hacer una reserva.

Amazing food and incredible wine list. Service is top and very detailed. Love the private space they have there as well.

Delightful food and wine. Unpretentious...2 Michelin stars....set menu delicious and reasonably priced. Very friendly service

El estilo informal y el mobiliario dan un ambiente relajante con comida y servicio espectaculares. Vino y precios excelentes

Firstly, the great things. Amazing staff, fabulous sommelier and wine recommendations. All worthy of a 3 star Michelin establishment. However, the food was not their strong point. We started with a crudo where the chilli was so powerful that it destroyed our taste buds and any views about other dishes must be taken with a pinch of salt. How was this dish allowed out of the kitchen? With a good chef, this place could be world class. I will say that if the food here is 2 star, then Sola, where I went 2 days before, is 20 star. And Killiecrankie House would be 30 star!!!

Estábamos aquí para una celebración de cumpleaños y tuvimos una hermosa, sabrosa, interesante comida bien preparada y presentada. El servicio era justo; atento cuando era necesario sin ser demasiado intrusivo o “pushy”. Consejos útiles en el menú y una llamada especial para el excelente sumiller. Las mesas son de estilo café y bien separadas.

This is a review of the La Bombe Mondays experience which I have done a few times now. Incredible deal where you get a good wine by the glass selection with Jonny Lake food! The Hot Tongue bun is an eternal favorite (also on the lunch menu) - it’s rich and decadent! Also recommend the Lobster Roll, focaccia and the chicken mains. We opted for the gelatos which were some of the best we have ever had… albeit missed the ingenious Hokkaido potato dessert (on the main dining menu)… the Mondays have a very casual, approachable vibe and an excellent evening!

I did almost no research before reserving my table at Trivet well in advance of my visit. I was planning a long trip to London and just used good reviews to decide where I was going to splurge on a great meal. Upon my arrival in London I took a look at their site and was astonished/embarrassed to see that they had 2 Michelin stars! I saw their site stated that the restaurant was informal but I was still nervous; I had no decent clothes to wear. Once I got to Trivet for my reservation I was greeted warmly and shown a great time. I make my own sourdough at home with fresh milled grain and I was blown away by the sourdough they brought me. It was very dark but still had a great spring and chew. The lamb I had was cooked extremely well and the various tastes they served with it were all very complementary but in unique ways. My dessert blew me away. All the textures worked well together and the flavors were great! The black olive caramel really worked well. A visit to remember for sure!

In short, modern cuisine with a little Asian touch. If you are Asian I guess you can skip. Maybe inspired for others but not for Asian. Food ingredients are fresh, the chicken and duck are of best quality. However the sauce is too strong that takeover the umami of the meat. Recommended to not only focus on the depth and complexity of the sauce but also to give them a better balance. Dessert is a disaster that either too sweet (the level that can cause diabetes) or nth special at all. The wine is good tho. For this price, around 180 gbp per person, suggesting you sincerely to get something else given after all it’s not a degustation menu but just a 3/4 course dinner.

[service - 3 stars] The waiters are nice; the sommelier girl is not too nice though, when we asked for wine pairing vis-a-vis food , no suggestion was given. The service leaves much to be desired. The table is full of dishes and the time of serving is not optima. [food - 3 stars] The dishes are monotonous, two main dishes having same sauce - lobster being refresh a redeeming quality. I would consider it below the bar of avg 2-star around the world. The fact that it is a la carte and has lower price than other London 2-stars. [Atmosphere - 4 stars] We all like the Nordic decor, which is only redeeming quality.

with high expectations given its Michelin 2-star status, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. While the ambiance was pleasant, the food did not meet the standards I anticipated. Many of the dishes were overly salty, and I found that the flavors lacked the complexity and depth one would expect at this level.

What a lovely little visit we had. I got to celebrate my birthday with a little bit of luxury. I was blown away by the attention to detail and the beautiful flavours from each of the dishes. 🥩 Salumi Capocollo Lonza (Costantini Slow, Abruzzo) Soppressata Piccante (Tonino Sansone, Calabria) Cinta Senese Ibrogliona (Fontanelle di Rosati Riccardo, Tuscany) 🦞 Drunk lobster, Trivet noodles 🍚 Risotto ‘Il Maestro’ Petals of red gurnard and confit fennel 🐑 Roast best end of lamb Rhug Estate organic lamb, smoked yoghurt, sumac and aubergine 🦆’Not a crispy duck’ Aylesbury duck from Woolley Park Farm, sun sweet melon and Catalogna 🎂 Special birthday cake

Pretty refined flavours all dishes executed well but didn’t see anything too special here and the food was just not at all surprising. A couple of stand out dishes but even these didn’t break the ceiling. Overall a bit uninspired but excellent execution.

Cuatro de nosotros estábamos sentados inicialmente en una mesa redonda... era tan tambaleante que derramaste tu bebida cuando se movía. Cortésmente le preguntamos al camarero si podían resolverlo por nosotros... ¡intentó alejarnos diciendo que todas las mesas redondas se tambaleaban! 'así eran'... Así que pasamos a una mesa cuadrada. La comida estaba bien / sabrosa, pero caro. Pero que te dijeran que una mesa tambaleante era normal solo dejaba un mal sabor de boca - raro no ser honesto al respecto y solo disculparse, en cambio se cansaron de cubrirlo.

La respuesta de Londres a Nusr - et. Sobreprecio y sobrevaloración. La comida carecía de sabor e imaginación. Especialmente por una chuleta de cordero de 60 libras. No estoy seguro de qué lo consiguió, son las estrellas Michelin.

Nice setting, tucked behind London Bridge. Upon arrival we were seated but no explanation whatsoever about the concept of the restaurant. Name suggests Italian, clay wine vessel on wine lists hints at Mediterranean, menu British. Fusion? Never found out. In my opinion this is a must at this level. Food was good, but nothing outstanding. Nothing to remember. Few hits and misses on the plate. Bad tasting melon, half grilled aubergine, so-so tasting duckbreast. Service was efficient but not friendly. Unfortunately the two Michelin stars remains a mystery, as well as the reason behind the hideous pricing lacking any value. A very underwhelming experience.

Fabulous food and great service.

Excellent food, as a family tried various different dishes, with friendliest explanations by the owner and chef, outstanding wines recommended just to our choice, one of our best experiences, booking soon again..

Glad I came to experience it but wouldn’t necessarily come back. Restaurant atmosphere was generally good, tables weren’t too close together. Food was good but surprised they have two Michelin stars. Heavy use of citrus/vinegar/fermentation meant the natural flavors were completely overpowered. Service was good, attentive and answered all my questions. Somm was knowledgeable about details of how the orange wine was made.

The food is fantastic. One of the best in London. Booking this restaurant for celebrating my friend’s birthday of 40. It’s so sweet they present the birthday greeting card to my friend with all the signatures from the chef and staffs when we get there. One minor flaw - though it’s hard to say it’s the fault of Trivet’s. The starter looks so delicious. We decide to order 3 dishes to share. This is not normal. We know. But we just want to taste as much as we can. Turns out three dishes arrive at same time. With the tasting pace we feel the temperature won’t be perfect when we go to the 2nd and 3rd dish. Plus our plate never gets changed. I feel so disrespectful to mix the sources though I try to avoid. Once stepping into the main course everything goes back to normal. And it’s killingly delicious.

The food is lovely, beautifully served. But there is no "wow" factor. As to the service, I hate the hovering and trying to remove my wine glass when I still have wine in it and we are still eating.

Trivet makes one question the Michelin star system. (1) large wine list, but when I studied it and asked for a bottle of 2015 Pommard, the server said it was unavailable; (2) he recommended the duck main, which was overcooked; (3) as we were finishing our meal at 9:30 on a Wednesday, the open kitchen staff was vigorously cleaning up and a waiter anxiously whisked plates off the table as we were drinking wine. All in all, really not a Michelin one-star experience, especially in light of the prices.

A modern style restaurant with tasteful decor. Music was a bit loud for fine dining for my taste as was the general noise level, possibly partly the result of the bare style. The staff were welcoming and efficient. There were a few gaps in the service where we waited for drinks. The food was astonished good and pushed flavours to new limits. Every dish was a masterpiece. There is an extensive wine list but we stuck to wine by the glass and the choice was great. I am not convinced this is a two star restaurant. Service and ambience are not of that level and there is no tasting menu but what you get is very good, but the prices are high.

I had such high hopes and it was so incredibly bad I now laugh. Quite genuinely I had a better customer experience and cuisine at a Burger King drive through last Friday. The whole place lacks any sense of warmth, from decor to service. I’ve visited graveyards that have felt more welcoming and warm (not that anyone was rude; it just felt very much that no one could care less about the service). The food was extraordinary ordinary - I ate but hours ago and can barely remember the courses (except that they were so so small). I love great food, and I have no complaints with paying up for it and the experience that comes with it at top restaurants. This was instantly forgettable and lacking any soul; bland food, bland service, bland environment. On a cost vs enjoyment scale this is quite genuinely the worst experience I have had.

Fantastic discovery, ambiance and relaxed atmosphere and great food, definitely coming back.

Any excuse to come to arguably the best restaurant in London.

To be clear, Trivet is a very good restaurant. However, like many of the other reviewers, I too failed to understand the second Michelin star, or the prices. Ambience and service are pleasant and the cooking very accomplished, but there are plenty of 1* restaurants in London that are just as good or better, and better value. The lamb was superb but the sauce of both that and the sweetbreads too salty which was a shame. Risotto and Turbot both very tasty. Wine list very interesting and some delicious options, but prices are disproportionately high. With 1* and prices to match, 5/5 easily. But for 2* at these prices, you’ll do better elsewhere.

Went for a 6.30pm dinner with my fiancé, booked a few hours before. Thankfully there was a table available. Quiet when we got there which in turn lacked atmosphere however as the evening progressed it really picked up! Food and service was outstanding, could not fault either. Eclectic wine list and lots of ingredients from across the UK that we appreciated. Standout was the Turbot! Will come again, definitely recommend.

I am very confused how this restaurant got the 2nd Michelin Star. Don’t get me wrong, it is a good restaurant with an impressive wine menu, yet having been to multiple Michelin restaurants, this is short of 2** both in terms of service and food. There isn’t even a tasting menu. And the acoustics is really bad, the restaurant gets extremely loud and you cannot have a peaceful conversation at your own table.

This review is based on a dinner experience in March 2024. Both myself and my co-diner have eaten at multiple 1, 2 and 3 Michelin starred restaurants all over the world (including the Fat Duck where the head chef has built his reputation). So having found out about Trivet being awarded a 2nd Michelin star this year, we came with high expectations. The room and ambience are sure deserving of this 2nd star. Beautiful interior design, dim lighting, extra thin wine glasses – the attention to detail is certainly there. The lack of a tasting menu option was the first thing that surprised us. A single and rather simple amuse bouche was the second. And, finally, a £5.50 charge for bread with butter definitely isn’t something we expected to see on a 2* menu. Though the beautifully prepared cocktails and an impressive wine list made up for the above. We ordered the cured sea bass, pici pasta, pigeon, grilled venison, chicken with vinegar sauce, fries with onion ketchup, roasted beetroots, and the potato mille-feuille – all to share. The pici pasta was undeniably the highlight of the evening – langoustines were cooked to perfection and the flavour of the bisque was just right. The cook on the chicken, pigeon and venison was also flawless, and the sauces that came with them were delicious. The biggest disappointment about our mains was the side of fries. There was absolutely nothing special – let alone 2 Michelin star – about them; and the onion ketchup seriously lacked flavour. So did our dessert – the potato mille-feuille didn’t taste like much at all and left us quite confused. It was taken off the bill, which we appreciated – and a different dessert was offered, but we refused. Service was attentive, yet slow. The staff were all pleasant and casually polite. There were, however, dirty plates sitting on our table for over 15 minutes after we’d finished eating. It was a Saturday evening and the restaurant was rather busy, but one would still expect a certain level of service at a 2 star restaurant. Although our expectations were not quite met, we intend to come back to dine at Trivet again to try a different set of dishes, and hope for a better experience.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. All the servers were friendly and knowledgeable. The pigeon (squab) was the highlight of the meal. The fish risotto was really good too.

Best restaurant in the city for relaxed a la carte dining and a great wine list to match. Service was fantastic 👏

Fantastic second visit for dinner this time! They were very responsive to our requests which made it even more special. Prices do seem higher than would be expected.

The food is super small, extremely mediocre, nothing special at all. The service is even worse, always avoid eye contact, especially the white bold dude. And the worst part is they charge 12.5 service fee. Have tried tons of Michelin restaurants, this one does not deserve Michelin 2 star at all. The comments on xhs are really, it is one of the worst Michelin star restaurants in London for sure.

Underwhelming. High end pub food at elevated, fine dining prices. To me 2 Michelin stars means you’ll pay a premium but get something special for it, it means extreme attention to detail. But there was no wow factor here Some elements were good but mostly it was disappointingly average. Eg. a poorly prepared artichoke with bits you chew on and spit out Eg. flacid, bland mushrooms Eg. a sourdough broth that adds nothing but bland brown liquid to the plate Eg. tepid limp chips I expect the head chef was off on this evening because the dishes did not hold together and I’d be amazed if that was worthy of any Michelin stars.

We wanted to celebrate a special birthday at a special restaurant, and we certainly weren't disappointed!! We have been aware of Jonny Lake since he was at the Fat Duck, and the opportunity to try his imaginative and creative cooking was too good to miss. We were warmly greeted on arrival and, once seated, I was presented with a birthday card signed by all the staff. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with both the menus and the wine list. Service was relaxed, informal but attentive and unhurried. It was immediately apparent that Jonny Lake was hard at work in the open kitchen. How delightfully refreshing to find a celebrated chef with a huge reputation actually working in his own kitchen! The wines were delicious and the food outstanding throughout. Each course was very different from the norm and very individual. Tastes were incredibly distinctive and in many cases unusual. Each dish was carefully explained as it arrived and questions were answered with authority. We sent a message via our waiter to Jonny Lake that my wife was, like him, Canadian and he came to chat very amiably with us for about 20 minutes towards the end of our lunch. This was an exceptional experience in every respect, and surely the third Michelin star can only be a matter of time! THANK YOU to all at Trivet for making this such a memorable birthday celebration.

Was taken here for a surprise dinner and loved the entire experience! They’ve a beautiful wine menu, and Rob was so lovely helping us out with our wine selections. He recommended a lovely red for our main bottle choice, but all the wine pairings with each dish were superb. The chicken dish was one of the best I’ve had, literally how chicken should taste and our starters were lovely as well. Service is excellent, it’s nice and quiet in a beautifully austere setting. I love how minimal the decor is, it allows me to focus on the food and wine without distractions. Will definitely be back here to try more of the wines as well as the food!

The Location: 10minute walk from London Bridge tube/ train station, situated in the ground floor of a modern apartment block. Interior : minimalist, airy, Modern with nice wood panelling, open plan kitchen at far left of dining area and bar at right on entrance. Good spacing between tables. Good view of kitchen from some tables. Nice calm and chilled music. Seating : fairly comfortable. Starter Amouse of lemon and goats cheese dome was imbalance with too much lemon overpowered the goats cheese. The cracker was various types was ok. Would have been classed as a paid for amouse bouche. The chicken wing was a Simple dish, ir did not impress, the Panko on the top of the meat was not very nice. The meat had skin on it but was fairly dry saved by the sauce and the meat quality was average. Mains Tongue bun- brioche bun was great as was the sauce but meat was over-salted and simple. There was far too much oil for that dish and was glad the next dish was tiny and light. Fish dish- opted for the small serving was a tiny portion. Taste was disappointing as blend, the cured fish did little for taste, the mustard seeds, oil drizzle with ,cracker gave the dish it main taste which was too subtle. Deserts: Butter tart nice crispy- sweet base almost of honey and butter with raisins very buttery- nice dish. The cannoli was average- some honey at the top but fairly chewy. Drinks Amazing wine list by the glass, had the Drood King from Iran, made in Sweden. Service Excellent, polite and un rushed, very attentive. Service and ambience 5/5, food unfortunately:4/5.

The food was very high quality and tasty. Definitely recommend the langoustine pici! Minus one star as we felt really rushed by the waiters and our conversation got interrupted by the waiters several times which was incredibly frustrating.

They have really good options in terms of wine menu. You can drink any wine all around the world. You can just go to drink a glass of wine. About food, they have some good options, but some of the appetizers were just ok. Expectations from a two star chef restaurant is more from that.

Trivet is my favourite restaurant. It’s the incredibly rare place that does everything well. It has a fabulous bar where you can sit down for a drink with a colleague, client, or friend without needing a booking. You can come for lunch and have a great meal in an hour-ish or you can hang around all afternoon. You can come for a special occasion or treat it like your neighbourhood place. Okay. They also have two Michelin stars. And writing a review that says “Two Michelin star place is really good,” doesn’t exactly justify the cost of your (free) subscription. So let’s start with this: Trivet is the only two star place in the London area that doesn’t offer a tasting menu. That sends a message. Still, it’s two Michelin stars, so it’s not exactly cheap eats. Ah, but if you go for lunch, you can choose from an accessible menu of delicious treats including incredible coq au vin. Or you can plan to linger and dig into their full a la carte menu of two-star caliber delicacies. My favourite on the current menu, which changes seasonally, is the sweetbread, available as either starter or main. The venison and ‘Best friend of white burgundy’ (eg: monkfish) are also both extraordinary. Or you can go on Monday evening, when Trivet becomes Labombe, a neighbourhood wine bar concept offering fantastic by-the-glass selections and epically good bar food. The Tongue Bun is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten anywhere, and the fries with homemade onion ketchup are potatoes in their most perfected form. Labombe is so good that there’s usually a gang of sommeliers and staff from other restaurants enjoying their night off. The vibe is Trivet is both chill and modern. On a summer day, massive doors open the space up to the outside world. There’s a comfortable terrace. Beautiful wooden tables and chairs require no cloths. And then there’s the wine. Wine boss Isa Bal is a genius. He was named best Sommelier in the world a couple of years ago by Michelin. And his list is the best. Make sure you take a minute (or twenty) and have a read through it. Then hand it back and let him and his team pick your wine. They have a particular specialism in regions that are sadly a little unusual for us including Greece, Turkey, Georgia, Syria, and Lebanon. You will not go wrong. Isa founded Trivet together with Chef Jonny Lake. The two met while Jonny was the head chef at the Fat Duck and Isa was head sommelier. That history will always be part of their resume. But they have moved well past it now. By managing to be perfect for a special occasion or as a neighbourhood favourite, by providing two-star caliber food or the best meal you’ll ever have at bar, by serving great classic wine or helping you discover something entirely new, and by offering the most generous service you’ll experience anywhere without a hint of pretension, Trivet is a truly great restaurant in its own right. And I’d much rather spend an afternoon there than at the Fat Duck. I’m pretty confident that you will, too.

Quite disappointed. The fries and pigeons main course is great. Starters are like cheap Asian street food, not even the great street ones. Given it is a Michelin 2 star rated restaurant, I think it at most deserves 3 star on Google. Otherwise, it is 4 stars here. Service is good.

Great restaurant, with an awesome chef proprietor.

Delicious food. Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere. Tried the cured red gurnard for the starter, venison for mains, and chocolate tart for dessert. All were very delicious. Also had a wine pairing with each course which was splendid.

Well executed dinner experience. Great size food portions that were cooked to perfection and the atmosphere allowed for great conversations!!

I had a wonderful dinner at Trivet last night. This was my second time visiting Trivet And it did not disappoint. I have been to many Michelin star restaurants. Trivet takes a different approach. The place is very casual and warm. I had a table facing the open kitchen, where a chef Jonny Lake is seen putting the final touches on every dish you get to see and smell the dishes even before they reach your table Trevvett does not have a fixed tasting menu, but rather an à la cart menu, I started with a lovely dish of sweetbreads, which was delicious and for my main I had the pigeon and persimmon. I have had pigeon many times, but none were better than this dish. The tenderness of the pigeon breast was absolutely amazing to accompany my dinner I had a lovely bottle of, a Slovenian Pinot Noir from Simcic that resembles many fine burgundy. Grand Crus I had a shade of beetroot salad, and by the time I got through I was so full I did not have room for dessert which is sad. Highly recommended.

Dinning experience was outstanding, all complements to the chef and well trained team.

I dont understand the this place. Went there on hearing it just got it’s 2nd Michelin star. Cured sea bass starter was very underwhelming - the 2 mains (chicken & monkfish) were grand (but i wouldnt rush back for them) - ordered a baba dessert which took ages to come (i think they forgot about the order) - they gave us dessert wines on the house but tbh i just wanted my frigging dessert. The waiters were over zealous with the water pours… and i literally had to put my hand on my glass! The baba cake was dry & the sauce too marmaladey - we left it. They eventually apologised & took it off the bill - but tbh you don’t come to a 2 star Michelin restaurant for this kind of nonsense. Asked for the bill to be splir between 2 & i enderd up paying £70 more… At no point did anyone engage with us or try to make the experience memorable. Tbh it all just felt messy….. there are other 1stars around that make you feel better fyi the interior design is from a previous portuguese restaurant that went into receivership & they inherited a fabulous space… and still it felt Meh I would avoid & go to sollip around the corner

2 out of 5 for this new 2 Star Michelin. Really did not meet this lofty standard, both in terms of food quality and service. Very disappointing. Would not recommend. I am not sure what Michelin were thinking upgrading Trivet, but it did not deserve it in my opinion. Food quality and taste were very hit and miss. Scallop starter was strong, but it is rare I would describe a dish as disgusting, and the Cured Seabass starter was exactly this: fishy, stale, and the accompanying ginger had the texture of dry sugarcane. Main courses were generous in size, but lacked that "WOW" flavour, which is disappointing. Same goes for the Hokkaido Potato dessert, nothing special. Waiters were curt and clumsy, clambering all over us without warning when serving and cleaning the table. I know it is supposed to be more casual and laid back, but common courtesy should not have been missing.

A good restaurant. The food was of the best quality and tasted good. All the dishes were wonderful. The recommended wines/sake were all impeccable. The service was always present without being intrusive, very friendly, polite and courteous.

Perfect cooking as you would expect from 3* chefs & superb wine, sake etc choices. Relaxed venue close to London Bridge. Legend chef & Legend Master Sommelier for a special dining experience. Back many times since 2019, most recently Feb 2024.

Visited in November on a Monday. The food was really tasty. We ordered many items and everything tasted great. Amazing wine selection and good coravin list. Will return soon, perhaps for a tasting menu. It has a Michelin star and you have also the chance to be served by Isa Bal, master sommelier.

Was good but not great. Place live their own life sometimes didnt care about guests. Service not attentive and some point arrogant. Food was really good but not memorable for me unfortunately after spending arround 800£with bottle of wine

Went twice in two weekends. Only bought from the lunch menu, it was all outstanding! Stand out was the coq au vin

Had a very lovely sat lunch with my friends here. The restaurant is very cozy and staff are friendly and helpful. Good food and what amazed me most is the wine selection here. They have a wide range of wines with great quality.

Excellent food and great wine selection. They dealt with my wife’s quite extensive list of food sensitivities with aplomb, in fact her dinner may have been even tastier than mine.

Sophisticated and lowkey at the same time. Food was amazing, so was the whole experience. Very comfortable and enjoyable for dining and conversation. 🐟 Highly recommend the monkfish, loved every bit 🍷 Wine list is a gem, must try a couple Millie fuiellie was superb too. Super light taste and perfect to finish We liked the risotto starter, especially the mushroom were so tasty. Although thought it might be a bit heavy and rich if one were to finish own their own (we shared between four of us and it was just alright) Weren’t too many veg options although my friend liked it Will always come back!

We’ve been here twice now for special occasions. Really special experience for food, wine and service. Unstuffy but elegant. The deep wine list features wines from less popular regions. These wines are no less impressive and fun to explore. Sweetbreads and venison are both showstoppers.

We popped into Trivet for lunch with some colleagues as part of the festive season and a good catch up. Let me say that the service was on point, and what one’s expects from a Michelin star restaurant. From the moment we entered, we were greeted with a warm welcome and taken to our table. We opted for the La a Carte menu, which was good but nothing outstanding or innovated. The Sommelier did pair each of our dishes accordingly, which included a lovely Greek Rose. Overall a pleasant meal in a great setting.

Had three courses. Fish first course wasn't for me. But the venison main was the best venison I've ever tasted. And the chocolate and hazelnut dessert - paired with port, superb. Excellent and interesting wine pairings throughout and a warm welcome from the chef and his team.

A lovely, warming, atmosphere. Food, high quality ingredients, tastefully plated. Wine selected from classic as well as unusual locations on a balanced list. No shortage of diligent staff - I didn’t see a single guest waiting. We just wonder on the pronunciation: trivet? Like the thing that holds hot dishes off the table varnish? Or triv-et…

Amazingly good food in a lovely atmosphere. Bit of a trek to find it, but Google gives good directions to the front. The resturant itself is quite small in terms of covers so booking will be key. Food is as you would expect from a resturant with such a reputation, its another level. What impressed me so much is the great service and help in the resturant, the whole front of house team were excellent.

Fantastic food and great service

The food here really is fantastic. I went here for my birthday and have been back a few times since. The veal, smoked over juniper was fantastic. The homemade chips with onion ketchup was delicious. And the apricot tart with pistachio gelato was amazing!! (paired with this lovely golden sauterne) I also tried the chicken with a vinegar sauce. Amazing, I tend not to order chicken in a restaurant, but this was so good, along with crispy pickled shallots and spring greens. Very addictive! The staff are very friendly and looked after us very well. And the sommeliers know their stuff.

Direi semplice negli accostamenti , forse troppo .sapore eccellente della casa. I Pici sono davvero da provare , non centrato il piatto con carciofi Carta dei vini originale ,profonda , serve studiare . Servizio non al tempo giusto . Accogliente . Ho tolto una stella per la solita mancanza in Inghilterra sulla cura dell illuminazione sul tavolo ,semplicemente mancante , le pietanza non si posso vedere la meglio, consiglio allo chef di lavorare sulla stessa quantità di lumen che c’è sul tavolo dei clienti e non sotto le lampade come giustamente fa . Da rivedere

Top class food. Excellent service, including advice on extensive (expensive) wine list. Modern decor means a lot of background noise unfortunately.

Great discovery, loved the pigeon and sweetbreads. Very relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff. Strongly recommend it. A great change from overhyped restaurant in the West side.

Hard to express how much we enjoyed this meal. I was worried at first because I felt a little rushed ordering, but once the options were selected the staff was 100% on point. I was never waiting on them and never felt like they were watching over us. For such a small, one kitchen restaurant, it was easy to have an intimate conversation but not so quiet that you felt like anyone was listening. You could watch the chef plate your food, and never heard a misstep from the kitchen … not a scrape or spoon drop. The whole evening was magical. Even got a write up on the artist when we asked about the art on the walls. No detail left out.

The food was superb - well thought out and well made, being clever enough to be interesting and tasty enough to be fun. The wine list is large, unconventional and steeply priced - possibly great for the aficionado, but rather tricky for the mere mortal. The very helpful sommelier makes it less of a gamble. Service was professional if a little joyless - pretty much par for the course in London, and not really an issue - there were no mistakes or delays, but Ambience is the tricky one. It's sort of laid back - no tablecloths, fairly well lit, a bit funky. But it doesn't match the rest of the offering. I'm all in favour of chilled out fine dining, but then I'd want chattier staff, lower prices, and a more conventional wine list. The food is flawless, but it's high end food, wine, and service in a room that's pretending to be your chilled out local restaurant, and that didn't quite work for me. But - if you take your food seriously, you'll have to go anyway as it shouldn't be missed. I'd recommend a table in a quieter corner if they have one.

Excellent food - inventive cooking, excellent service, staff friendly and efficient.

Outstanding in every way. Calm, friendly and impeccable service of interesting and creative food. Well worth its Michelin Star and well worth a visit. Enjoy!

Underwhelming for a 1 Michelin star restaurant, who are pricing as if they had 2. No amuse-bouche offered (not even bread unless you paid extra for it). 3 courses without wine or coffee could not be less than £125/head. We spent more here for a forgettable dinner than for a truly memorable evening at (2*) Le Gavroche

Amazing food, too wine, great dedication and service

Outstanding food and service. Perfect portion size. Wine menu is almost intimidatingly extensive, but the sommelier is very helpful. Great experience, would happily visit again.

Wow!!! Trivet has just blown us away. Massive new entry into the Eyresie Hall of Fame. This is a la carte in all it glory. Best plates of food we’ve had for years matched by superb front of house and a really exceptional Albariño. Stand out dishes sweetbread, fennel risotto, grouse and duck. Hokkaido potato Mille-feuille was so good Love love loved it !!😍😍😍

This place is quite the gem. We went here on a family occasion and were able to taste most of the menu. The food was just delicious. The service was also excellent.

Excellent food and beautiful setting. Enjoyed the Georgian wines too!

Dishes are way too salty. The only thing that stands out is the dessert. Average service. Overly priced

Great food. And extra points for not having loud music.

Greatly over-rated restaurant. The only thing outstanding about it was the sommelier who is very knowledgeable and very helpful. Food simply dreadful. I have eaten at a lot of Michelin rated restaurants around the world and I can only say that If the people from Michelin had gone to Trivet the night we did, they most certainly would not have recommended it. We began with drunken lobster with noodles at a cost of around 50 pounds per person. The sauce was greatly over-salted and the small piece of lobster chewy and uninteresting. Perhaps the chef was the drunken one. My partner's main dish consisted of two small pieces of turbot, almost uncooked with a rubbery texture, and some drab salad leaves. Another unmemorable main course was the venison. Again the sauce was not well done. We chose some french fries to go with it. The fries were around 15 pounds, as I recall. They were no better than those you can get at McDonalds, and the ketchup, if that is what it can be called, while it did have a mildly oniony taste, as advertised, again just did not pop. I cannot fathom why anyone would recommend it, but people do. Dessert was better. The total food costs were around 560 pounds for 4 people. I almost forgot -- the service was also terrible. The staff were slow to respond and there were long waits between dishes. A waste of an evening.
