My wife celebrated her birthday at Launceston Place on September 13, 2018. We both had the tasting menu, mine being modified due to lactose intolerance issues. I also had the wine pairing. When finished some four hours later we sat for a moment and "pinched" ourselves. We had just experienced one of the most remarkable dining experiences possible. From the amuse bouche to the last bit of dessert, the food was incredibly well prepared and presented. The dishes were beautiful. The food delicious both in taste and texture. Nothing was boring or routine. Yet nothing was outlandish either. All was interesting and a gastronomic treat. Wines were unique as well and went extremely well being paired with the 8-9 courses. Service was grand without being stuffy. Very comfortable. Very satisfying. Launceston Place should be Michelin Starred in our opinion. Special kudos to Chef Ben Murphy, Sommelier Machime , server Mattei and Maitre d Pauline. If you are looking for a fabulous dining experience in London, head for Launceston Place.
