I came here for my 30th birthday and I cannot fault it .
All the staff were so welcoming and happy to explain anything you were unsure about . Food was outstanding and presented very well and staff explained each dish to us in detail. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing and no alcoholic pairing and the drinks were very nice and went very well with all the food .
This was the best meal we had on our 7-day trip to London. Spent a lot of time researching places online before our trip. So glad we went to Ekstedt. The food was great. The wine pairing was spot on. They had just started doing a thematic wine pairing and ours was a Volcanic Pairing (wines from volcanic soils). Really enjoyed the story of each vineyard as well as the wine. The 6 course tasting menu was equally amazing.
Great Venue, we had the tasting menu, the food was decadent and well balanced texture and flavours. The service was okay, they felt a little bit stretched, the sommelier didn’t talk through the wine list, and just generally not as attentive as you would except for the money charged. My only other two criticisms 1) we booked the 8.30pm slot and the whole meal just felt rushed as the place closes at 9pm! So by our last course it felt like they were folding up the tables 2) I am Pescatarian and my Partner is Vegan and the cost of the tasting menu was the same as the full menu even though the Wagyu and the oysters were replaced by jersey royals and aubergine making it less good in terms of value for money.
To end on a positive the Brezzo Barolo wine was amazing!
An amazing tasting menu with a perfect wine flight (we had the emerging wines).
Great staff including the brilliant sommelier.
The oyster was without doubt one of the best dishes I've ever tasted.
Congratulations to all involved to produce such amazing food with the most humble but perfectly sourced ingredients. 👏🙌
There are some wonderful dishes here, and some very good wines too. Some dishes reminded me of delicious dishes I've had in Sweden, Norway and Iceland. However at this price point it's appropriate to be more critical. So I could say that I've had better, but the truth is they have plenty of dishes that are so good you would eat them until you explode. Not all of them though.
Sadly they had some glitches on the night I was there, like forgetting we asked for a vegetarian option instead of the sirloin. Hence the lower scores.
