Our meal was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful terrine followed by excellent perfectly cooked cod and then a wonderful passionfruit soufflé. They recommended a very good bottle of wine that went very with the meal. The bill was very reasonable, but was a bargain in view of the quality of our meal.

After having visited forty five Kensington as a work outing on numerous occasions, it has become my go to spot for family and friends also. The food is second to none (at this point I think we have tried everything on the menu collectively), while the service is also exceptional. The lovely lady (forgive me, I have forgotten your name) never fails to make it a memorable evening. Great attention to detail. I have recommended it to everyone and have always been given great feedback. Atmosphere is also 10/10, quiet dining while also the opportunity to go to the casino afterwards.

Named after Franck Raymond’s grandmother, Augustine Kitchen showcases truly authentic French dishes, with a focus on produce from the Evian region where Franck was born.

Augustine Kitchen is a 45 cover restaurant and has got an intimate family feel with a focus on good quality produce and wine. The producers are handpicked, to ensure the very best quality, including charcuterie from Monsieur Colliard and fish from Mouchet Anythy sur Leman, a fourth generation fisherman.

Regional dishes feature Reblochon tarte, gratin of crozets and delicate smoked fera, whilst other highlights range from the sublime snails served with garlic mousse and parsley butter to pike quenelle or pork shank which has been slow cooked for 36 hours.

Behind the bar, the handpicked selection of wines are displayed in open racks, in a typical French charm, along with a fine selection of Armagnacs, Cognacs and other well known spirits.

About the restaurant

Llerena takes its name from a little village in Extremadura, southwest Spain, where four generations of our family has raised Iberian pigs since 1939, producing authentic "Bellota" jamón ibérico, chorizo and other pork delicacies. Our family created a business around the farm called Jamón y Salud to sell our gourmet products and has now brought this exquisite taste of Spain to Islington with the Llerena Ibérico Tapas Bar. Not only can you sample ibérico pork grilled meats and finest jamón, but also creamy Torta del Casar cheese and other traditional Extremadura's delights as well as the best wine from our region.

Excellent service from start to finish. The food was delicious, full of flavour and authentic. Favourites were the blue cheese and spinach croquettes, the beef tenderloin medallions and the squid. The interior is intimate with great ambience. Can’t recommend a better place for Tapas!

7th time here at Corinthia, and Afternoon Tea was Superb. Our server, Matt, was outstanding! His knowledge of the menu, both food and drinks was great and he had me sold of the Sparkling Tea as an alternative as one of our party was tee-total. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday afternoon tea, this is definitely one of my top 3 in London. We will be back soon. J
