The best restaurants serving Other international-cuisines food in Queen's Gate Kensington and Chelsea London

We have been V&A members for a while but were unable to visit the museum due to all the various lockdowns/restrictions etc. However, yesterday we visited the V&A with family to see some exhibitions and decided we would meet up for lunch in this most delightful dining room. It was very busy and there was a short wait for an available table, but it wasn't more than a few minutes. The dining space is light, bright and airy, with high ceilings and tables well spaced apart. Very tastefully decorated with a long bar area. There is an eclectic menu with something to suit most tastes and dietary requirements with an impressive range of cakes, pastries and cocktails etc on offer. Excellent coffee! Service was exemplary. The staff were polite and efficient but were also welcoming and friendly. The prices reasonable for the location and the quality of produce on offer. Well worth a visit.

Restaurante sencillo, buen ambiente, servicio amable y comida bastante buena, teniendo en cuenta que es una cadena, lo recomiendo para una comida mientras recorres la ciudad, buen precio.

We visited in August and decided to try one of their towers. The place itself is visually stunning and well-decorated. Initially, the staff were eager to seat us and helpful up until the point we placed our order. However, once our order was in, it became incredibly difficult to get their attention. When the food arrived, it was clear that the focus was on presentation. While everything looked impressive, the taste was a major letdown. Most of the items on the tower were underwhelming, and we left much of it uneaten because it was so disappointing. We also ordered their "homemade lemonade," which we would strongly advise against—it was equally disappointing. The overall experience was underwhelming, and things took a turn for the worse when it was time to settle the bill. While we expected the service charge to be included, the reaction we received when we asked for it to be removed was shocking. Service charges are *optional*, and while it’s fine to ask why we’d like it removed, we were met with interrogation and a condescending attitude from the staff member. She questioned us sternly, as if scolding us, which made an already disappointing experience even worse. We initially tried to explain politely that we didn’t enjoy the experience, but she kept pushing. Finally, I had to state outright that the food was terrible, the drinks were poor, and the service after we ordered had been lacking. Her response was even more frustrating and rude—she told us that she’d need a manager’s approval to remove the charge, and that we’d have to wait for the manager to come and speak to us. What should have been a simple process ended up taking 30 minutes and left us feeling embarrassed and annoyed. The entire experience was a disaster, from the food to the service, and especially the handling of the "optional" service charge. This visit left a bad taste in our mouths, and we would absolutely not return. We cannot recommend this place to anyone.
