    I had a wonderful lunch at Andrew Edmund’s today. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a charming, intimate feel that made for a relaxed dining experience. The food was exceptional—beautifully prepared dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients that showcased a perfect balance of flavors. From the starters to the dessert, everything was thoughtfully presented and full of depth. The service was equally impressive; the staff was attentive without being intrusive, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring everything was just right. It was a truly delightful meal, and I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Particularly enjoyed the sharing pie today.

    We love coming to Kettners. It’s an oasis of calm in busy London. Service was not as good as usual. Had to keep asking for drinks and top ups of water. Portions small. But we come for the atmosphere and very relaxed setting. It’s a tradition we hold to always meet at Kettners, but would love a little more bang for our buck. We will be back as it’s great. Preferred the food when the previous chef was in charge. French food doesn’t need to be fussy and expensive.
