Lovely experience at 40 Maltby Street. Food was incredible and inventive, surprising standout for us were the tomato fritters, but everything was delicious. Service and staff were lovely and tried their best to mitigate our wait. Wine was really delicious as well.
Only minus is for the uncomfortable stools at the bar - just a bit too low for the height of the counter!
Nice dishes packed full of flavour. Chicken and bacon terrine was lovely and flavoursome. Mains look at little small but were filling and tasty. We tried the veal and pork. Organic wines tasted very nice (not like organic wines can). Was full by 6:30 so recommend arriving early. Will be going back.
There has been a lot of hype surrounding 40 Maltby St. and so expectations were not low, but it's wonderful when a restaurant can impress you even when you're already wary.
A wonderful experience top to bottom with great wine sourcing, super fun and atypical small plates with more esoteric flavor profiles, and a cheerful staff that never left us looking around for help.
Seriously, I have very little to fault with 40 Malty, especially since we managed to walk in without a wait on a Friday night.
We ate as a couple, but I think it would be especially fun with a group.
