Best Contemporary European Restaurants in West Hampstead

This was our late Valentines date night, and we were thrilled with the experience. Great food and even better service. Highly recommended.

The wine selection is great, the food is very tasty especially the polenta, beef tartare, and chilly prawns. Fully recommend for an elevated cozy date night!

Lovely restaurant,very accommodating staff. We had a flat tire on the way to the restaurant and moved our booking to half an hour later without quibble. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and we were well looked after by the staff. As it was a 50th birthday, they also surprised us with cocktails at the end of our meal, which was a lovely touch!

This was probably the greatest culinary experience of my life. Managed to get a booking for the Valentine’s Day meal. Not just were the hosts incredibly hospitable but incredibly attentive. The highlights of the menu were almost the entire thing. Both desserts were sublime, the TFC, caviar gougère and roast chicken were amazing. I’ve never seen a scallop as big in my life and for the duck course the main star of that dish in my opinion was the morels. We were put on the chefs table which was like looking into a finely tuned, well oiled machine. There is an almost 100 percent chance I’ll be back in the future.

We always have a great time at Lore, the staff are really friendly and make you feel welcome even though they are rushing about they still take the time to talk to you, food is outstanding and the service is amazing, booked in for Sunday roast in June and December.
