Pied à Terre is London’s longest standing Michelin starred restaurant, having opened in 1991, and offers Omnivore and Plant-Based tasting menus. Wine, cocktail and Zero cocktail flights are designed to accompany menus and an extensive wine list is also available. A three course Lunch Menu is available at £90 Thursday-Saturday. The team at Pied à Terre prides themselves on outstanding and innovative food, informative yet relaxed and personable service, and one of the best wine cellars in the capital. In addition to an elegant dining room in the Fitzrovian townhouse, there are 3 private dining spaces. Pied à Terre is owned and run by founder David Moore. The Chefs combines classic French techniques with delicate and fresh Asian seasoning, achieving a wonderful depth of flavour in both his omnivore and plant-based menus.
“This is my number one restaurant in the world. The service was impeccable, but most importantly, the food is simply exceptional. I've been here on multiple occasions over the past 10 years, and I'm always amazed by how consistently outstanding everything is, even after the change of head chef. On this visit, I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner for the first time. He took the time to have a wonderful conversation with us, sharing fascinating stories about Pied à Terre, and even surprised us with a thoughtful gesture at the end of the meal. It made an already unforgettable dining experience even more special. Looking forward to return to it whenever I would have a chance to visit London.”
“Here I am writing a review two years later, which I suppose is enough time to properly digest the experience. I had come to London with my brother-in-law on his first trip overseas. He's a big foodie, and we happened to chance across PT. We arrived early and ran into the head chef, Phil Kearsey, who was kind enough to bring us in ahead of our reservation and show us around. The interior design and overall space were lovely, and we were incredibly excited to try the food. As a younger group of lads (and with me never having been to somewhere quite this swanky), it was a bit intimidating at first, but the staff quickly warmed up to us as we bumbled our way through the experience. A very special thank you to Ciarán Bagchus, who realized I had a more modest wine budget but still wanted us to drink like kings. He pointed us toward a fantastic red instead of whatever swill I had been eyeing, all while keeping it under £150. He was incredibly gracious, especially considering we overheard him dealing with some very snooty and rather dickish oligarchs a few tables over. During the meal, Mo, one of the waiters, was equally kind. He brought back more of the shaved cheese (which I assume isn't something diners typically request repeatedly) and even showed us how it worked while chatting a bit about his life. It was genuinely great. I think the highlight of it all, though, was that after coming out of the bathroom, I accidentally wandered up the stairs and stumbled across the personal kitchen. Instead of being told I couldn't be there, I ended up talking with the chef and sommelier about food, music, and everyday life (and the incredibly fun yellow painting in the corner). It was completely happenstance, but the accessibility and warmth of both individuals, especially in what I had built up in my mind as a high-stakes environment, was really special and one of a kind. Toward the end of the evening, we also briefly spoke with the owner, Mr. David, about the design of the space and humorously pointed out a cobweb as part of the ambience, which I swore he might come out with a broom and a ladder if we hadn't been eating in that location. The food and atmosphere were impeccable, but what I ultimately left impressed by was the staff. I walked into a place where I felt I might not belong (we were wearing our best backpacking attire we had packed), yet somehow left feeling entirely at home.”
“I’ve just had a fantastic Chef experience at Pied a Terre. The kitchen was brilliant, the staff fantastic and I really did feel like I was in (a much more friendly version) of the Bear ❤️. Highly recommend both the experience and the restaurant- they make you feel special. Special shout out to Cira and David. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day!”
“This place is just as fabulous as it always has been … 35 years on! We had the tasting menu (not the plant based one) with sweetbreads, cod and quail among other creative dishes, a beautiful cheese selection and fantastic wines chosen by David himself. We love it here. Long may it continue.”
“We dined early. Service fantastic. Opted for 7 course tasting menu.Food beautifully presented but some of the combinations didn't quite work. My favourite was the rooster tortellini, with the quail as a close competitor.”
