About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Great for fine wines
Good for special occasions

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.

We had the 20th year celebration menu and it was delicious. My husband went for the wine pairing and he said it was great and extremely good value. My son chose beef over chicken for main and I think it was definitely a better choice. The crab lasagne was also very delicious. Service was excellent. Thank you so much, we will be back!

A tranquil evening for our anniversary, with no fear of other guests talking loudly or invading our personal space because guests talked softly and the ambience of calmness supported by the pace of service and knowledge of the entire hosting team. The food was well presented, delicious and interesting, with flavours and colours igniting all the senses. A must try and experience to be repeated!

Great experience. The staff are very polite, the coctails are delicious and the food was excellent. We tried the 7 tester menu. It was an excellent selection of fish and meat.

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.
Galvin La ChapelleResponded on 13 February 2025
Hello Ian, We're very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and we regret that your meal was not as seamless as it should have been. We truly hope you’ll consider dining with us again so we can provide the high standard of service that we are known for. Kind regards, Galvin La Chapelle Team

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 28 November 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
