Only my second time at the Ledbury and it didn t disappoint. Innovative cuisine which changes on a regular basis unlike a lot of other Michelin starred restaurants. Not a large restaurant so be sure to book in advance.
The Ledbury just never fails. I've been coming here for years when looking for a special treat and they always go above and beyond. Being a quite "particular" eater, I often find fine dining a struggle, with haughty chefs and staff disdaining or outright refusing to accommodate food preferences; The Ledbury couldn't be more gracious about it. Having catalogued my preferences over the years, they outdid themselves with the tasting menu yesterday. While my companion happily dined on the standard tasting menu, every one of my courses took my preferences into consideration and was adapted accordingly. I might have been embarrassed by the extreme effort that went into this, if I wasn't so busy enjoying every exquisite bite. All of this was accompanied by wonderful wines selected with the sage advise of the sommelier. Beyond the quality of the food and wine, the whole staff are just on another level of excellent (special shout out to Darren and Jeremy). It's true it's a pricey experience, not intended for daily dining, but I've never left feeling even a penny short of delighted. Thank you to the whole Ledbury team for another wonderful visit.
Went here a couple years ago and found it somewhat overrated. The food is very good, and presentation is lovely. But it doesn t set itself apart as a fine dining establishment, and the prices are out of touch with that reality.
Staff was amazing. It seemed like there was one staff member for each customer.
Food was intricate, colourful, delicious, perfectly plated, and paired with the perfect wine.
Absolutely worth every penny.
Lovely food and people best time ever had first time there and England I will be back 100%
I actually enjoy their dishes and service, fantastic location next to my house. The cashiers are always very friendly. Will visit here again.
Awesome food! The starters are just too good not to forget the main course and dessert! A little expensive but being unlimited it's definitely worth it. Great service too. Great place for family and groups.
Ambience is perfect for making your weekend a memorable one... Staff is polite and courteous.. Really loved the food.. Quality and quantity both were up to the mark.. Really satisfied with the experience.
Amazing food, great service and the prices advertised include service too - always a pleasant surprise!
PS. They catered fantastically for my girlfriend who is coeliac, substituted certain ingredients/dishes within the tasting menu and offered some great gluten free bread too.
Fully recommend!!
Had lunch here. Amazing food and very good staff. Felt like a special guests, nice personal approach. Would definitely come back again.
Absolutely beautiful, food was spectacular and the staff were so accommodating to not only my sons dietary needs but my family in general.
I have been to this fine establishment for a total of four times three in 2017 (Feb, May, Dec) and recently in July this year.
What makes the Ledbury stand out for me is first, the food great local (mostly) ingredients and a wonderful palate of flavours that work, whilst being complex enough to provide a bit of mystery. It feels like a true mastery of the craft, there has not been any weird experimental dishes to work through!
Next is the consistency not only course to course on the same day, but through all my visits. Everything from the seasoning, temperature, plating has been just right.
The service, impeccable. Front of house is just as professional as you d expect, to the serving of the dishes and drinks, whilst remaining a bit of informal rapport strikes a great balance, feels just about right.
Last but definitely not least, is the best sommelier for me in London Seamus @seamussharkey. Every time I am here, there is always a fantastic spread of wines from all over the world, most of which I won t ever even come in contact with otherwise! The man has a deep knowledge and is always pursuing for more.. I definitely feel a bit more educated with every meal.
Whenever going to the Ledbury, I am able to let go and let the restaurant take care of me. No disappointments, fabulous food and wine that always slightly exceeds expectations with great people that makes me feel welcome on every occassion. This is what a dining experience should be, and a great standard that restaurants should be striving for.
Consistent good food. From starters to dessert. True French flavours. Delicate and sophisticated.
Had a great meal, staff very friendly and kind at all times.
Nice atmosphere and friendly service. A bit surprise for the birthday bit. Recommended!
It is a very good restaurant, the food is very special and delicious, the service guy is very professional, the attitude is super friendly, we order the eight-course meal, I think it is a Michelin restaurant with a high CP value, recommended!
This was a singularly lovely experience, and I loved every moment. The service really made everything shine, and we had such joy at each course.
Fantastic tasting food and good options for vegetarians and those with other dietary requirements!
Expensive, but you get what you pay for. The food was sublime and the service impeccable.
I've been to the Ledbury twice, it is my favorite restaurant in London so far.
Utterly stunning food, service and wine. Attended for lunch and could not recommend more highly.
Probably one of the best restaurants I ever been to.
The food is a work of art and the service is spot on.
Highly recommended.
The most amazing place to eat. I so look forward to normality returning!
nice food, nice service, but a bit rush if you go for second round dinner
Fantastic Chef. Outstanding front of house team. Awesome food.
Among the top 5 restaurants in central London for quality dining.
I really enjoyed to eating here with my family. Chef Brett Graham's innovative cooking is great. I am looking forward to re-visit them
tasty food and outstanding service! would recommend!
Phenomenal, well deserved ranking among the world's best.
Hands-down the best food and service I've ever had in London. Literally can't recommend here enough.
Worth the wait. Truly worthy of the 2 Stars. Food and service were incredible.
This spot gives extraordinary service and yummy meals. One of my favourite restaurants around town. The meals served rapidly and the rates were reasonable. Highly recommended.
I like the lighting here. Sun comes from window right into the your soul. Also food amazing. Staff are kind. Thank you.
This was my second visit to the Ledbury. The service is first class; all the staff pay attention to detail and go the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect. The food is sublime, beautifully presented and every mouthful is a culinary adventure. I look forward to my next visit.
Food amazing , service excellent well worth a visit .
Impeccable service, food & wine. Amazing vegetarian tasting menu. Everything you could wish for in a special occasion meal.
This restaurant is stunning. Classical simple decor is perfect setting for the food you are about to experience. There is no doubt why this has 2 Michelin star and is one of the best restaurants in the world.
The birthday experience had been fantastic where they even gave a birthday card and an additional dessert. It is a little far of travel by tube. However, if you drive, there are street parking fairly close to the restaurant. (If you drive, you can t have the wine pairing, don t drink and drive!)
We had the dinner tasting menu. Food quality is very high where our favourite dish is the Hen in the wood. Just the smoke rosemary is brought out with the mushroom where the smoke is a little disturbing to others who are not yet on that course. It can hinder your sense of smell that affects the dining experience.
Another downside is that the white beetroot with smoke eel was a little disappointing. The balance was a little off towards the sweet side. Perhaps this is due to personal taste.
The atmosphere is nice, service had been spectacular. Just some minor things that can be improved. I.e. a female staff wore a very very fragrant hand cream and a different scent in the hair. Another male staff had explained dishes to another table with his bottom pointing towards my face. Some staff touch your chair when they walk past.
Overall:
Quality of food: 9.5/10
Surprise factor: 7.5/10
Service: 8/10
Location: 7/10
Experience: 8/10
Value of money: 7/10

PS the coffee at the end (at an extra cost) is very delicious
Excellent food and brilliant service. Couldn't fault it, but I must say it hasn't "blown me out of the water"!
Absolutely impeccable service, food and dining ambience. Very knowledgeable and friendly waiters, every dish was well-explained. The lamb shoulder, pork belly and lobster tail were incredibly delectable - my favourite dishes. There's no fault to find with The Ledbury. Simply wonderful.
One of my favourite restaurant in London. Impeccable service and great food. Prices reflect the quality so value for money is good. Great experience. I highly recommend it
As expected of this restaurant, they presented my food very flawlessly. Also, the food is really tasty and delicious. The location of the restaurant is very accessible.
My husband and I went there during our stay in Chichester during Goodwood Revival. The food was great!
The Ledbury deserves its praise. While an evening here may cost you, it will still be worthwhile. Food quality is excellent, decor quite attractive, and service impeccable. The wine list is pretty extensive and includes some real gems albeit with the respective prices. The right place for a special evening. We love it.
Stunning food in a formal setting, that never disappoints. It is pricey, but Michelin-starred restaurants have to make a living too. For special occasions and special friends.
We went here for my wife's birthday. From the moment we entered to when we left, we had a wonderful experience. The food was exquisite, the staff friendly and attentive. Fully justified as one of the premier restaurants in London.
Nice business. You can go with peace of mind. There are also few places to go around. There is a friendly approach to incoming people. I don't think you'il be happy when you go.
Lovely food, slightly expensive however that's London for you.
I have been there twice and each is amazing experience. It is impossible to convince myself that it has only two Michelin stars. Three or more would be a proper evaluation.
Anyway, sorry for the poor pictures I posted. Please see and savor their cuisine with your own senses.
The staff is friendly and informative. We have a great experience there. The menu is creative and we discover new flavor from their dish.
A fantastic experience! Great choice of starters and mains and a fantastic drinks selection.
The best dining experience my wife and i have ever had.
Chef Brett Graham's innovative cooking, paired with fine wines in a smart, modern setting.
Outstanding customer service. The food and their interiors are of very high standard. The lobster tail was one of my favourites. Extremely good food and service.
This is not just a restaurant; it is an excellent place to take to a gastronomic journey. There are details in this restaurant which make the place stick miles above the rest.
Excellent food, meticulously prepared, excellent service from very well dressed staff who are there to ensure you have a great time.
You have to try it at least once.
Fantastic food great ambience friendly staff got to meet the master chef Brett in the kitchen with a surprise fig leaf ice cream to finish off our night. What a night to remember. Thank you. Will definitely be back when in the uk.
It was the most recommended restaurant in London for those of Oxford University graduates. There are also many Japanese customers. It is near Portobello market, but it is very quiet by entering a little residential area.
Appetizers, kelp and wasabi are used for Japanese food. As it is delicately seasoned and served, I think it will be appreciated by Japanese people. A lot of butter and truffles are sprinkled and come out. There are no spices. It was the last lunch of my eight day trip to England, but it was very delicious and the atmosphere was very satisfying, so it was a good trip memory.
One of the best restaurants in London. Faultless in every sense of the word. Can't wait to go back.
What a wonderful experience!
Best fine dining restaurant I have eaten so far!
Beautiful food, friendly and professional service, and wonderful dining room!
It was a real pleasure to be there!
Thank you team Core!
The level of service is great but the food we felt we felt was only average given what they charge for a four course dinner.
Delicious food. Amazing service and neat and clean with open to sky dinning table.
As expected, after all, it is a Michelin star restaurant
Given its reputation, The Ledbury is relaxed and unpretentious. The food is oustanding and the wine not as expensive as you might think. The service too is brilliant and friendly. Expensive but worth it.
