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.

Very disappointing experience - 900£ for 4 people à la carte - very basic meals - foie gras to be forgotten and ridiculous portion of beef for the main - genuinely disappointing - kitchen closing at 9pm?! won’t go again - I rarely leaves reviews but on this one I’m really disappointed

It was an excellent return visit Faultless service and a delicious tasting menu, a shame the crab lasagne was not on this menu but that was easily rectified by adding an extra course to share ! Each course was delicious and the paired wines perfect We must thank the Maitre d’hotel Franco Becci for making sure we had a wonderful evening , nothing was too much trouble for him.

We booked for my 30th birthday, and have been before. Although they couldn’t find the booking at first, it was all sorted and we were shown to a lovely table. We chose the vegan tasting menu and it was exceptional. The service was attentive and our waiter was very welcoming and engaging. Fantastic experience and already looking to book again when the vegan menu has the next seasonal changes.

We really enjoyed visiting the restaurant. The staff were very friendly , professional and knowledgeable. Th food was however a little disappointing. The Vegan menu did not live up to the expectations of such as restaurant. The dishes chosen from the main menu, although delicious, arrived barely warm . A little disappointing as we were entertaining.

A bit underwhelmed for a Michelin start restaurant - the food was generally tasty snd well balanced, however, there is no appetizers to start with which is common for such type of restaurants, the petit fours only got 2 kinds, and one of them is not that fresh or tasty. The three courses lunch of 42.50 plus service is not completely best value for money. In general a very pleasant experience.

We had a good lunch. The service is excellent and the setting superb. I was a little disappointed with the food. It was not as good as I expected. It may have been my choices - scallops followed by lamb. The scallops were good. The lamb was a little more raw than rare for my liking. The tarte tatin was nice. Overall, it was a nice lunch made good by the superb service and setting. The food should have been the star but it wasn't which does impact the value rating.

High end food enjoyed by us all. The food is rich in flavour and the portion size just right for a satisfying meal. The wine list is extensive with something for everyone. The Cornish crab lasagne starter was faultless and divine.

We’ve been here many times before. As usual our meal was superb. We had the lunch Chefs menu which was good value with the extra Rishi discount, tasty and beautifully presented. There was no VAT discount though. We also had a white Rioja with it which we loved, finishing with cappuccinos and petit fours. We love the venue but the only issue was the excessive heat. The air conditioning wasn’t strong enough but we did feel sorry for the staff wearing masks and suits! There is an outside space option but it wasn’t enticing enough. Needs more planting really and made prettier.

It was nice to note that La Chapelle has adjusted well to dealing with the challenges posed by COVID 19. Apart from a little extra spacing to maintain social distancing, everything was as usual: excellent food, service and atmosphere. Will be going again soon.

Yet again, La Chapelle demonstrated its great strengths: top-notch food in a really attractive and quite spectacular building, but with service that's friendly, human, and not in the least bit up itself.

Nice to have a separate vegetarian menu. Overall good was nice, we had a taster menu , some courses were abit more adventurous and different. Others were boring and could have been of the same standard as the others .

Had a vegan 7 course tasting menu for my partners birthday. It was amazing. The service was fantastic as well and would recommend anyone who is vegan to try this restaurant out. We thought the 7 course tasting menu wouldn’t be filling, however we were wrong. It was filling enough for both of us. The staff members were polite and if we didn’t like something they would change it up. My partner enjoyed his birthday very much.

Really really lovely evening. It's a lovely room of course but all six of our dishes were exceptional (we ordered from the three course Opentable offer). Service too was terrific (and they very generously took a couple of things off because of a minor mix up which had affected our enjoyment not a jot) and we enjoyed everything enormously. Wine pretty pricey but par for the course I suppose. Definitely on the list for special evenings.
