Brat

We had mistakenly booked for the incorrect number of people (too few) and the staff were courteous enough to quickly reseat us and ensure we had a great experience despite the mishap. The food was all incredible!! Highly recommend the crab salad, beef tartare, and the beef rib if it’s available on special. You can’t go wrong with anything here - the only mistake is if you don’t save room for the basque cheesecake and olive oil ice cream. Out of this world!

great food, great service, good wine by the glass program, great setting: rustic country feel. at 6.30 pm the dining room was very young and fun. by 7.30 pm it had transitioned to completely different vibe of date night mixed with larger tables of business meal/entertainment. what a change over. i was alone and had a great time. started with the bread/anchovies, house made chorizo, sweetbreads dressed with a light parsley greens and peas (yum!!!!), over roasted greens (chewy and yums) and the duck, which was beautiful! i separately wanted the turbot but the smallest was 1.6 kilos. the server was incredibly helpful and fun. great experience.

After trying multiple restaurants in London, I've come to the conclusion that British cuisine, in terms of flavours, is rather mundane and nothing out of the ordinary. Having said that, Brat definitely checked all the points for great food, though simple. Upon entering I liked how the hostess asked me where I wanted to sit and I was able to pick the table directly facing the kitchen. I had the Anchovy bread and was able to see the chef kneading the dough then placing it into the oven with expertise, so satisfying! The bread itself was the usual, but the quality of the bread and the fish; just impeccable! For the main I had the John Dory and smoked potatoes, and gotta say it was sublime! The fish was peculiar in taste...in the best way possible; subtle hints of lemon and salt really elevated the dish. The potatoes were just as delicious with the right texture and crunch on the skin. For the dessert I got the burnt cheesecake with the fig; individually the components were nothing great, but when tasted all together, it was a burst of amazing sweetness and tartiness combined...a total win there! Though I would have liked the cake to have been softer (only because it is a Michelin star establishment) but otherwise, it satisfied my palate. Service was friendly, and I liked how down to earth the demeanours of the servers were. Still, I would have appreciated if they'd asked if I wanted the potatoes to go while clearing out the table. In summary, a good place to grab a hearty meal once in a while!

Absolutely delicious! The food tasted so good and the quality was impeccable. The highlights were the squid, the venison, the mushrooms and eggs. Highly recommend! I really wanted to order the olive oil ice cream- price/quantity was pretty good seeing as it wasn’t too expensive considering the amount of food. The only thing I’d suggest to improve is the size of the venue- it felt a little too crowded when it got busy. 9/10

My interpretation is “making fine dining accessible,” which came through in a few ways: Staff were friendly and relaxed. Still professional with the detail orientation and servicing of fine dining, but without the formalities. For example, they timed the food according to my pace, but didn’t make this obvious. In a break, they even shared a service dish. Ambience reflects this. The open kitchen is small, with friendly, non-intimidating vibes. Details like both still water and sparkling water being on “tap” (free) in a pub-esque feel seems to be intentional. Lastly, the food is not overly complex. Flavors come through without too much layering, but still hits texture, temperature, and finish. For example, the duck dish created variety by having breasts, liver pate, and confit. Bu flavors were honest, and simple. Overall, great, accessible version of fine dining. Ordering many appetizers with drinks seems like a good fit for this one.
