Grand Diner Winter menu - Edit
Treated my husband for his birthday meal and it didn't disappoint. He got a cute signed card from Alexis Gauthier and they decorated his dessert. Nice touch.
Read moreWe enjoyed all the courses in the grand menu. However we felt the courses they dropped for the petit diner were the right ones as they were probably our least favourite. As such, the petit diner seemed better value for money.
The food came out at a good pace and the service was good. The restaurant was cozy - like a house - and the fire was burning, which created a lovely atmosphere.
The food was interesting and was a celebration of vegetables - no faux meat. The only downside was a lack of protein - some lentils or beans for example would have been great.
Our favourites were the brioche toast, ravioli, beetroot and the stunning desserts - the orange sorbet and nut chocolate meringue - wow! Even the pre dessert with the quince was yummy.
The carrot dish was average and the sauce with the tart was a bit too strong on the saffron. Those (and the quince) are the dishes they didn't serve for the petit dinner hence we felt a smidge disappointed to have paid an extra £40 £4.5 service for a piece of carrot, thin slice of tart and a slice of quince.
The group have to order the same menu (preferably my husband would have had the grand and I would have had the petit).
Pros: Use of ingredients/ vegetables, Presentation, relaxed setting and service, Flavour
Cons: Some courses were average, Drinks are expensive

Fine dining - refined and delicious - Edit
Exceptional! Really enjoyed a special evening with each course full of flavour, delicious textures and stunningly presented. Wine pairing excellent too. Very good value £££ wise for London or any city.

Grand Dinner menu 2025 at Gauthier - Edit
Having heard so many good things about Gauthier over the years, I'm happy to confirm that it absolutely lives up to the hype. Yes, it's pricy, but so much thought and care had gone into the flavours and presentation of every dish, and the level of service was so high, I think the price point is justified. I was particularly impressed with the non-alcoholic drinks pairings which was so well thought out really added to the experience. I think we'll be making this a yearly treat!

Best in London - Edit
The service is always great, although it is a very fancy place, you aren’t looked at in a bad way looking different (heavily tattooed).
Read moreThe food is always on point, being half French i enjoy finding some dishes/flavours inspired from typical French cuisine i enjoyed in my childhood and the fact all is vegan is even better!

Valentine 💝 - Edit
Took my partner for a 9 course valentine tasting menu with wine pairing. From start to finish this was an amazing. Being greeted and shown to our table, we then had an explanation of the courses and wines. Clearly passionate about what they do each course was a palate pleasing adventure. Wines were perfectly paired with their corresponding dishes.

Fine dining - Edit
Came here for my bfs birthday, had the 9 course menu and tbh it was A LOT. Everything was very refined, but we could’ve done with 2 courses less. They do an excellent wine pairing and or with juices.

How can you give a 4 because it was too much food ? Wow … they even acknowledged your birthday…. I think a 4 is a bit rough!

great restaurant - not only for special occations - Edit
For what you get we found it to be extremely good value for money, but it only adds up when you add an aperitif and accompanying drinks. 55 Pounds +15% service charge for a 7 course meal in this category is a bargain. I follow the chef on Instagram and find him inspiring - that was the reason I wanted to celebrate an anniversary there.
Read morePros: creative food combinations, price-performance ratio, central location
Cons: compared to other restaurants not very Christmassy, "historic" toilet

On another level! - Edit
This was such a treat, the food and drinks pairings were absolutely spot on! We tried the Christmas Small lunch and wow, every dish, every bite went beyond our expectations! The service was as expected at a high end restaurant. The server was polite, knowledgable and super nice. A bit expensive but so worth every pence!!!
Read moreForgot to take a photo of the first starter but it was delicious as were the petit fours. All so good!!!
The wine was nice but the non alcoholic pairing IMHO were even better!
Although I wish we had been in another more quirky room as we were in the main dining room it was still an awesome experience. That’s what I mean as it lacked in “coziness” because looking at photos of the other rooms it’s a shame it’s not as quirky throughout. I’ll definitely go back again.

Pros: Delicious fresh food, Great non alcoholic drinks, Lovely physical space

The best way to spend a birthday - Edit
We love a tasting menu, and this was excellent. Beautiful flavours and textures. There wasn't a course we didn't like. Our favourite was the mushroom ravioli and the chocolate dessert. The service was attentive without being overbearing. The staff were knowledgeable, and each course was delivered at nice intervals. We will definitely be back.

Wow, what a treat this was. We went for lunch and everything was excellent. We will go back for the winter, spring and summer menu. 😊 apparently they also have a special Xmas menu as well. I cannot recommend this place enough. Best meal I have ever had.

So many great dishes - Edit
Many of the dishes on the small tasting menu were truly excellent, but a few fell short especially compared to other vegan tasting menus I've had where everything was delicious. Also, the meal ended with a ladyfinger that was just plain bad and that just sticks out in my mind as the main memory despite many excellent dishes. Overall, it was good but not great

Hands down, the best meal I’ve ever eaten. Had the Grand Diner in May 2024. Though it’s expensive, you receive many courses and the quality is amazing.

How expensive is it? There's no mention of price anywhere so I'm concerned it's a case of "if you have to ask the price you can't afford it"

£55 for the petit dîner (7 courses), £95 for the grand dîner (10 courses). Drinks are extra.

A Michelin Starred Dining Experience - Edit
To my knowledge this is the only Michelin Starred Vegan restaurant in London and it very much shows.
Read moreFrom the atmosphere to the service to the quality of the food, this place knocks it all out of the park.
Phenomenal food and the waiters are very knowledgeable about wine pairings and the delicacies you are eating.
My only warning would be price; but as you are in a Michelin restaurant that's a given, and well worth it for not only the food but the experience.
Pros: Food is Exquisite, Venue is Beautiful , Service is Flawless
Cons: Price high, to be expected.

Lovely evening - Edit
I got to try their fall menu and the non-alcoholic drink pairing. My waitress said it was the first night of the non-alcoholic drink menu. I loved the nettle syrup drink, the horseradish ice cream, the popover-esque pastry, and the squash and mushroom dish the best. I found the main dish of black pudding and potatoes to be a little underwhelming. The service was excellent. The decor including the flowers was very nice. And the other guests were fun to talk to a bit. I've been lucky to go to a number of these vegan tasting restaurants in other cities - I was expecting this one to be one of the best but for me, it was average compared to its direct competitors.
