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.

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 .

Truely a one of a kind experience not be missed! My only regret is that I wish we had given ourselves more time to stay and savor it. Unfortunately I booked Wicked on the same night which didn’t allow us time for dessert. This is a mistake I shall never make again but my son said his steak was totally worth missing the first 20 minutes of the show. Can’t wait to come back and do the entire 6 course tasting menu. Don’t miss this place if you’re in London but allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy it properly. Totally worth every minute!

We had a very nice evening at the restaurant. A warm welcome and the food was very good, also special. We enjoyed the evening.The sommelier was great with the pairing wines. Very special selection of wines which were perfect with the food.What I’m not used to in this kind of restaurant are wineglasses sticking on the table and a dirty fork which we got.

Outstanding! That’s all I can say. We went on a Friday night, dinner for two. We did not pick the full tasting menu, but starter and main course plus self selected wine.The place is inside the hotel, just ask if you can’t find it like us.From the entry to the exit everyone was super polite and helpful. Great staff, attentive, great explanations of the food and recommendations, always with a smile and a small joke.The food is mind blowing, interesting flavors but never overwhelming, everything is fresh and home made / cooked over fire. We literally had not one single part that was not outstanding, down to the homemade warm bread.All of this comes at a price, but I would go back in a heartbeat. Super experience front to end. Thank you

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.

Lovely evening enjoying a vegetarian tasting menu with champagnes (and some lovely wines). We were a group of 8 women enjoying a special champagne pairing dinner. The service was superb, the seat near the open kitchen was lovely and the food was really interesting and delicious. Not always the case for a vegetarian menu. The balance of smoke, acidity, sweet and salt were perfect on every dish. A special shout out to the head somm who took immense care of us and to the lovely chef who came and spoke to us at the end of the evening. It felt personal and we felt valued and for sure would return. The bread and butter in whey are worth a mention too, as is the beautiful bar and lobby area of the hotel. After dinner we had cocktails in one of the bars and they were wonderful too, lots of flare and theatre for us too thanks to the great mixologist. A great evening.

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!
