Took my boyfriend for the Menu Gourmand 7-course tasting menu lunch and had a lovely time. Impeccable service, friendly staff, delicious food. I appreciated that there was a full vegan menu and we enjoyed the experience immensely.

Gorgeous evening at Galvin La Chapelle for the tasting menu. Staff made it a wonderful experience, some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. Food was gorgeous, every dish was intriguing. Cocktails were also very good, better than some of the very expensive cocktail bars in London. We really enjoyed our experience and will be recommending this place to everyone!

Vegan menu nowhere near up to standard. I'm sure a great restaurant for non vegans.I (vegan) went for my birthday with my boyfriend (vegan), mum and grandma (both non vegan). The service and general interactions with the staff were very good, the only Michelin star part of the restaurant really. We had the lunch menu, which had one option on for each course. We weren't offered the menu, just told that's what we were having. Having checked afterwards, the tasting menus were available but we weren't offered these. Other Michelin star restaurants have extensive options for vegans such as Pollen Street social.The vegan food was just nowhere near up to the same standard as the rest of the menu, clearly an afterthought. The first dish, the soup with melon spheres was seriously bland and very watery in taste and texture. The main was a risotto which was quite nice although nothing especially memorable, The desert was a roasted hunk of pineapple with coconut ice cream, marshmallow and a fantastically generic "happy birthday" chocolate. I'm a professional pastry (7 years in industry) and can say that this dessert was not only underwhelming in terms of the technical level you expect from a Michelin restaurant but also quite poorly executed.

Beautiful restaurant based in an old Chapel. Worthy of the Michelin star. Menu Gourmand provided seven courses of perfectly paired food with enough quantity.

Excellent service and loved the interior. We were greeted by very friendly receptionists who took our coats and sat us down at our table. All evening, our sommelier was giving us great wine recommendations and our waitress was making sure we had everything we needed. The 3 course meal was delicious, and just enough so that you’re not too full or still hungry afterwards.

Good pub foodFirstly, the service was quite strange throughout - we were offered no description of any of the dishes served. We were kindly offered an explanation of the menu which went like “there is a tasting menu on the left and a a la carte on the right”, well… cheers for that. We had four different waiters and none of them made much effort to explain the food or to engage in any conversation (other than “are you enjoying the food?” which became a bit awkward after the third time of admitting that we weren’t…)The food was very mediocre. We returned the first house bread as it was stale and were immediately told it was baked fresh - well I’m sorry but I eat kilos of sourdough each month and it was not fresh - after much drama we got a “hot loaf” and that was actually great. The smoked fish starter and foie gras were very much in a pub food territory - underseasoned and forgettable. The risotto was undercoooked. The beef was passable. The crab lasagne was the only Michelin star worthy dish. Zero amuse-bouche or petit fours - very disappointing from a £150+ a head.The building is amazing but the decor and music resemble a pub. Having been to most Michelin starred restaurants in London, unfortunately we really don’t understand how this restaurant has retained their Star - it really should be a Michelin plate at most.

Honestly a great experience. Came for the 7 course menu and had a great time, our server Cain (Kane/Kayn?) was brilliant and hilarious. The 38 Day Aged sirloin was particularly 10/10.

We discovered the Galvin La Chapelle via a Red Letter Day experience I won through my work. The experience from the very start was amazing, the service was sublime and whereas It was a busy, bustling London lunchtime it was very calm with plenty to admire about the restaurant as well.We had three courses from the experience and by the time dessert came around we didn’t even take a picture before tucking into it… the whole three courses was some of the best food myself and my partner have ever had. Fine dining at its finest. Please if you want a Michelin star experience in London then I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious and fresh starter; the lasagne is very creamy and the scallop mousse is an interesting and special texture; the truffle stuffed chicken is very soft with well seasoned; last but not least the cheese plate and the dessert is fabulous. This restaurant deserves five star not only the amazing food, but the professional and very friendly staff. There was an issue with our payment but they dealt with it very well and value their customers. Thank you so much and will be back soon.
