Ella Canta has the most welcoming staff of all the posh London restaurants that I visited.
For my first visit I went for the set menu. The margarita was excellent, first course (squid) was good, and the duck mole was very tasty.
I had churros for desert. The chocolate and caramel that came with them were very nice.
During the second visit we went for drinks only and the bar staff welcomed us in even if it was before the official opening time. We had great cocktails again.
Definitely a restaurant worth going back to.
Ella Canta adds spice to Mayfair/Park Lane. The restaurant is stunning and the food is delicious, creative and full of wonderful flavors! Allow the chef to design a tasting menu and be ready to embark on a Mexican journey. Margaritas are excellent and will keep you coming back for more.
I wish the restaurant was in a better location because Londoners do not socialize on Park Lane - only tourists! It’s a bit ‘out of sight out of mind’ in that respect.
Had a great meal here with friends. We got lots of plates to share which is a nice way to eat here as it allowed us to try a lot of dishes. Overall, the food was very interesting and packed with flavour. Small criticism is that our mains seemed quite ‘samey’ in texture (shredded duck, pork, beef cheek etc.). Would have liked a little more contrast. Found the duck mole and rice pudding dessert especially memorable. Ambience was chilled and the service informal yet efficient. Also serve a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Will visit again.
Brilliant brunch! The ambiance is everything. You walk in and you feel like you're in Roma, Mexico City. The food was delicious and the mains came with a plate of freshly made, warm blue corn tortillas on the side with a thick napkin - exactly like in Mexico and possibly the only Mexican restaurant in London that does this! Food was really delicious and the brunch deal with 3 courses and bottomless margaritas for £55 was definitely worth it. The service was also excellent from the very moment you enter until the moment you leave. The only reason it was a 4 and not a 5 star is that the mains were quite overcooked and slightly charred but maybe this is how it's meant to be. The pink chocolate dip that came with the churro was also quite lacklustre in taste. That said, it was such a nice afternoon that if I could give it 4.5 stars then I definitely would!
Excellent Mexican food from the great Mexican chef Martha Ortiz. Food is superb quality and cocktails are great. Service impecable, we were there in their opening night and evening was flawless. My only "complaints" would be the music which was very chill out style, just at the end they played some Mexican music, and their wine list didn't include many Mexican wines, but that is more a personal opinion. 100% recommended
Great atmosphere, great service, delicious margaritas and fantastic food. We even had a visit from Martha Ortiz, the head chef who developed the menu and all of the dishes. The 3 course brunch menu is amazing value for money - Would definitely recommend and I'll definitely be going back.
Absolutely loved it! Came for the weekend brunch with my partner and mum, the service was fantastic and everyone was genuinely lovely. Food was very good and can’t wait to come back to try some of the things that weren’t on the brunch menu.
We went for bottomless brunch and it was fantastic all the way through. Food was delicious, drinks were great, four different flavours of margarita, and there was a steady flow of drinks throughout the booking. Beautiful decor and friendly staff too!
Excellent mexican fussion restaurant with a beautiful setup. We had an amazing evening with life mexican music for San valentine's. The dishes were carefully presented and very tasty, with the right portions. Nice coktails and wine list. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They do have a cocktail bar in case you fancy another drink afterwards.
We had an amazing dinner at Ella Canta last night. Every single dish we tried was absolutely fantastic. The pork in the pork carnitas was the best I’ve ever eaten. So tender and wonderful flavor. We loved our starters too, especially the esquites (Mexican corn soup). The delicious cocktails are also not to be missed! I will be back at Ella Canta as soon as I can to enjoy the ambiance, wonderfully attentive service and delicious food.
