We ventured here for a Birthday Meal and were not disappointed. The restaurant is steeped in character. Set in an old chapel with exposed beams and brick, it creates a magical environment for a culinary experience. The staff were very attentive creating a relaxing environment, with the sommelier being particularly knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed a very nice 2010 Chianti which I would recommend to anyone. The restaurant seemed to attract a range of customers, including some very well behaved children which didn't spoil the atmosphere (although this was at lunch time).
The food itself was very nice, with the menu being one of the primary reasons we initially chose to venture here. Each course was well presented, cooked, and seasoned and I couldn't fault any of the food I sampled (see pictures below).
However I did feel it lacked that 'Je ne sais quoi', with the food being similar to *some* non-Michelin starred restaurants of which lack the hefty price tag. With so many Michelin starred restaurants in London, I'm not sure I would rush back but equally I am glad we went.
If you are looking for a culinary experience in the heart of London, with décor to match it's fine menu and great staff, give La Chapelle a try.
