Where in London can you get a three course lunch for £28 with a Michelin Star? The answer is this place, Kitchen W8. I’m a big fan of Phil Howard (previously of The Square, now Elystan Street) who part-owns Kitchen W8. Looking through the menu, you can see glimpses of Phil’s influence throughout the dishes. Phil’s books ‘The Square: Savoury’ and ‘The Square: Sweet’ are two of the best cookbooks that I own. The food is simple in terms of flavours but just the right side of complex in the construction of dishes. As we headed to High Street Kensington, I couldn’t wait for the experience to begin. Kitchen W8 couldn’t really be in a more attractive area. Just off the main Kensington High Street down Abingdon Road, it’s perfect for lunch or dinner after some high-end retail therapy. As we strolled into the restaurant, we were followed by other diners who had various designer carrier bags in tow. The dining room is a smart yet relaxed space. The large mirrors and waiters uniforms reminded me a lot of Chez Bruce in Wandsworth, owned by Bruce Poole who has previously worked with Phil Howard at The Square. We got a spot on a comfortable corner with a panoramic view of the dining room.We had a choice of a la carte or set lunch menus. Given that we were excited at the prospect of three courses for such good value, we went with the set menu. I could quite happily have had the set menu as a tasting menu in itself – each and every dish sounded tempting. As the weather was hot, we opted to try a mocktail. A virgin mojito is the sole non-alcoholic cocktail on offer here at Kitchen W8 so we went with that. As it turned out, it was well made and very refreshing.
