I had 3 courses for lunch. The food was absolutely amazing, and with the price, it is absolutely worth paying.
All dishes were well created and tasty.
The beef wagyu dish was my favorite. It was well cooked and tasty.
I went there with a friend who has just got promoted and the restaurant was really considerate by preparing the card for him.
I will definitely book again :)
This restaurant is a gem. The staff is knowledgeable and kind, the atmosphere is pleasant.
The dishes are original, well presented and very tasty. The starters, the mains and the desserts took us to an incredible gastronomic journey.
Highly recommend, thank you for this lovely evening.
Really cute restaurant in West London. Excellent food and service and definitely recommend taking the tasting menu! When we first booked that was a system glitch so they had to move us to another day and they gave us a complimentary drink because of that which is so nice of them.
Food as beautiful as the presentation. It’s either 3 courses or a tasting menu. So you have to be hungry enough to eat your way thru the menu. Very pleased to have gluten free options and gluten free bread 🥖 winner
We came for our anniversary and were not disappointed. Brilliant price for the lunchtime tasting menu and wine pairing, and the food was beautiful. Staff were lovely and informative too. We came way back in September 2021 and I am STILL going on about the risotto.
Loved being able to enjoy a tasting menu with an option for each course. Service was a little frantic for this caliber of dining and can afford to slow a little and reflect the rhythm of the guests. Some superlative cooking, but dish design and imagination wasn't quite there for this place to earn its first star. Greater depth of flavour in the sauces could help! Wine pairings and selection was exceptional. You could visit just for the wine. Altogether a first rate experience, with tiny things to improve.
Beautiful fine dining experience. All expectations were met. Had the tasting menu and classic wine pairing. Everything cooked and presented to perfection. The only small minus was the dessert which even if delicious was too heavy to come at the end of a tasting menu. Highly recommended and worthy of a detour.
When you arrive at the extremely aptly named restaurant ‘CARACTÈRE’, the sense of the character of this place begins before you even walk through the door. Closed shut and almost a little unwelcoming looking - this creates an element of mystery. After you walk through the door you are greeted by the extremely attentive and friendly staff who will show you to the table and walk you through the very creative menu.
We opted for the 3 course A La Carte which is reasonably priced at £78, especially given the location and quality.
The waiters asked if we wanted an apéritif and swiftly delivered it with ‘pleasure’. Before ensuring we enjoyed a very hospitable evening with high quality and delicious dishes all round.
I throughly enjoyed the experience and would just like to say two words to the owner if they are reading this.
Thank you.
Fabulous food, service and atmosphere.
And if you are lucky enough to meet Emily it makes the whole experience even better.
Absolutely loved it.
A new restaurant in the neighborhood. Beautiful decor and attentive staffs. Scallops were cooked perfectly. The ox cheeks was also tender but flavours May have a bit of room for improvement. Cod was delicious but lamb rack may need more depth. Dessert was really good and delicately presented. Would definitely go back for more.
Very good quality/price relation. Menu 45£, Michelin level. Delicious food, fusion italo-french. Very well presented and good service. For London srandard, amazing.
Came for a celebratory occasion and it was almost as if the host knew - service was impeccable, with very friendly and professional staff. the tasting menu is delicious and the food is beautifully presented (few shots below)
Great value for the calibre of food, location, and setting. Have already recommended to friends in the area. I feel like they may be on their way to a Michelin star if I were to guess.
Great experience and excellent food. I can easily reccomend. Service was excellent and Friendly.
I shall be coming back in the near future to try their signature duck.
Thank you
The decor is quite gloomy, not helped by the lighting. But the service is excellent, and the food shows real care and attention in the kitchen. As the menu changes often, don't know if these items will still be available, but if so, try the pork belly. This is a very difficult dish to get right. In many places, the pork is scorched to get crackling, while the fat remains underooked, or it is oversalted, or it becomes a flabby unattractive dish. Here, they get it just right. My guess is that there is some clever sous vide work to tenderise the meat in the kitchen. The wine steward really knows his wines and guided us to some lesser known wines to try. We were not disappointed. Freshly made on site excellent bread, and wonderful French butter was also a treat. How come French butter always tastes better than English? Anyway, we went for lunch, which is only available Friday and Saturday.Why not try it then as they have an interesting Prix fixe lunch?
This lovely restaurant exceeded our expectations. We booked for birthday celebration, two of us for a romantic meal. We opted for the full taster menu experience …. From the moment we walked in to the relaxed and professional ambience ….. a lovely birthday card surprise and then the outstanding service received from our amazing top waiter and wine sommelier , these guys worked with amazing passion about the food and wine and gave a truly amazing customer experience . The food ! …. Wow ! Was absolutely amazing ….. every single mouthful was a special suprise and perfect in every way ….. just the right amount and balance …. Deserves a Michelin star ⭐️ ….. we can’t wait to re book and come back , we have talked about the food all the next day it was so good ….. thank you for making my birthday so enjoyable 🙏🏼 highly recommend this gem of a restaurant to any foodie
Lovely French restaurant in the Notting Hill neighbourhood. Ambience is cosy, casual with contemporary decor.
Spotless service with very fine food.
Loved everything except the molten chocolate tart which was far too sweet.
The crab tartlette was exquisite, duck was perfectly cooked, everything was just delicious.
Came on a date night with my partner nothing prepared me for the culinary adventure that was about to take place. While exploring flavour, texture, design and ambiance it was further enhanced by staff. Valentina stood out in particular as a member of the hosting staff who has a great passion and understanding of her work. I'll certainly be returning.
Wonderful lunch today. Food was exceptional and staff and service top class. Great venue for lunch or dinner with a air of sophistication in a relaxed manner.
Very cozy place. Lovely atmosphere. Love the interior design and the food is just exceptional. I completely recommend this place. Better than many Micheline restaurants.
