Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Barnes

It had been quite a while since my last visit to the Ivy Chelsea, and as soon as I walked in, I was enveloped by its familiar warmth and charm. The ambience was just as beautiful as I remembered. However, I must admit I was disappointed they had altered the dark salad recipe; it seemed somewhat lacking, with only a small amount of duck included. On the positive side, the service was attentive and professional. Apart from my duck salad, everything else was exquisite—the succulent chicken was perfectly cooked, and the wine selection was exceptional, enhancing the meal beautifully. Overall, it was a delightful experience, aside from that one misstep with the salad.

The sea bass was delicious. The staff were lovely, and I'm looking forward to trying the restaurant for dinner.

Really, really happy with the venue, the service and above all the food and drink. The vodka flavoured with caraway and dill was delicious. The portions are large so unless you are very hungry (and I mean very hungry) I would suggest sharing a starter and having the main course. The four of us shared marinated herrings and a a stuffed perogi with cheese and potato, and then we tucked into what is heaven - chicken livers. Fabulous We also had a bottle of Georgian red wine to wash it down, terrific. No room for dessert. The service is so friendly including the person taking our coats as soon as we got through the door, and then the waitresses who noticed that my wife's purse / bag had slipped off the back of the chair and could have been stepped on, or worse. You have to book, though.

The best food in London by far. As good as their sister restaurant in Paris. Be sure to sit at the counter.

Lovely lunch here today. Some of us had starters as mains, others had the classic fishcake. All delicious and we shared the chocolate bomb to finish. Our waiter was great and as usual all the staff were welcoming and friendly. We miss Jean Francois though! Will be back soon
