Charming

Critical acclaim has been heaped upon Galvin La Chapelle, a true destination restaurant and with good reason. This fabulous dining spot, just off of London’s famous Bishopsgate is the work of celebrated Chef-Restaurateur brothers, Chris and Jeff Galvin, and epitomises their approach to designing and running restaurants in every sense. Indeed, Galvin La Chapelle has all the wow-factor of Windows with the stylish refinement of Galvin Bistrot de Luxe while carving out its own very unique character at the same time. The interior is truly special, as is the food – cosmopolitan, continental and wholly elegant every step of the way, creative but familiar, special but unpretentious – no wonder Galvin La Chapelle was named Tatler’s Restaurant of the Year 2010 and AA Best London Restaurant 2010.

Disappointed in the service. Ordered cocktails and they still hadn’t arrived when our first course was served. Sent the starter back then when it did come out, it was cold.

Well the only real criticism I have is that it was really very expensive although the other criteria on which dining experiences are rated were positive. The first 2 wine bottle selections I made were no longer available but still on their list so minor criticisms (although irritating) lie this take on greater importance when viewed against the main criticism of poor value.
Galvin La ChapelleResponded on November 28, 2024
Dear Dennis, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely appreciate your honest comments and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the unavailable wine selections. Please rest assured that your feedback has been addressed to ensure we continue improving. We’re delighted to hear that the rest of your experience was positive, and we truly look forward to welcoming you back soon for an even better visit. Warm regards, Helena
