Pollen Street Social in City of London

The chefs were so lovely and answered all our questions - even the ones my mom asked about the cutlery and kitchen! She got lost on the way and they even offered to try to find her and help her get to the restaurant. Really lovely and very attentive. Each of the twelve courses was incredible. Loved sitting at the counter and watching the finishing touches/kitchen at work. Had the chef’s counter experience and they truly explained everything in depth and showed how knowledgeable and passionate they are about the food and the process.

We celebrated a big birthday here a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! Incredible food and impeccable service. The Sample Set Lunch menu was very reasonable and definitely worth a try.

Another of London’s top Michelin restaurants. The Tasting Menu never fails to meet our expectations and the service is friendly and skilled. Highly recommended.

Seriously, I am usually very generous with reviews, however on this occasion I had a $30 rump steak that was at first raw and after ministrations from the Chef, no cook, it turned out to be the toughest piece of steak I have ever had the misfortune to have been served. Will certainly not be a customer here again. Others of my party ordered Uncles Favourite and they were happy with their meals. Stiff for me I suppose.

Having never had the gastronomical experience of a Michelin starred restaurant before, this was a fabulous way to pop my cherry!I went with 2 friends early on a Tuesday evening and once we'd established which restaurant it was in Pollen Street (there are two Socials) it was pure 'star treatment' from the moment you walk in.The menu read like something off professional Masterchef and to be quite honest, apart from knowing diners allergies, was almost superfluous. I won't spoil it for anyone thinking of booking up but from the moment 'Afternoon Tea' appeared, you're in for an Alice In Wonderland feast.The only tiny thing that we could fault was our very attentive waiter had a wonderful Italian accent but we could only catch the odd word of what we were eating....but overall a 5-star experience

What a gem of a Michelin star restaurant tucked away in a quiet alley.By chance Pollen Street Social was across the alley from the Airbnb where I was staying. I had come to London to eat at two restaurants that were on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list but the lunch set menu here was better than what I had at the other two and at a very reasonable price. I can only imagine how good the other two tasting menus at this restaurant.

Great tasting menu, nice ambiance but awkward service. The waiters kept pushing for drinks but didn’t explain the menu. I am giving them 5 stars because I really enjoyed the food, especially all the small bites prior to our appetizers and mains. The Parmesan risotto, their bread, and desserts are also incredible!! Would definitely come back.

We had the most incredible set lunch on 23rd December. The staff were fantastic and gave us exceptional service. The food was amazing and was excellent value. We will be back!

I cannot fault the exceptional service or the delicious food. Every single mouthful was amazing. And I can’t remember the name of my mocktail but I know I had 3…. So good. Every dish was explained and what the ingredients were. They accommodated my allergy to dairy and gave me the same dishes as my friend without dairy. It is a place I will definitely eat at again, slowly work my way through the dining options

Every single course was just incredible. I haven’t enjoyed a meal this much for a while. Executed to perfection and some creative touches. Very well balanced meal, and attentive service. The cocktails were also fantastic, and I enjoyed the passion from the bartender who shared some of the background about them when he saw my enthusiasm. Wonderful birthday celebration here - thank you.
