Kitchen Table at Bubbledogs - London

Never tried out the kitchen table concept before and I was fantastic. The stand out and favourite course for me was the squid peanut goan spice dish. Of course almost all of them we're incredible, which is what you'd expect from 2 stars, and of course there were strange pairs that work shockingly well. I never knew I wanted wagu walnut until I did that evening. As for the format of the table, I found it a delight to pass the time watching all the chefs work away on the dishes, I've never done a chef's table before but I think I will in the future. It's a little cosy in the room, however the chairs are massive so you have enough space of your own, and the staff will always help you get comfy if you need to move adjust yourself a little. So again I'm usually used to big open restaurants but this is a little different, it's a bit like the theatre, packed but enough room, and it adds to the atmosphere. The best part above all of the whole meal was the soft parings drinks with the courses. This is the first time I've seen this, and a huge amount of effort was put into coming up with non-alcoholic parings to go with each dish. There was a dealcoholized red wine with the duck course and it could not have matched more perfectly. I think they'd added missing notes back in to round it off. There was also a rich barley drink that beginning that tasted so dense and rich. These were not some random soft drinks they’re found, the were expertly crafted. I could not recommend this place enough. The decor, the bustling but relaxed atmosphere, the care and quality, it’s exquisite fun.

Special Special restaurant. Just dive in and go! You will not regret it Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

My husband and I had one of our most exciting and engaging dining experiences this week at Kitchen Table which takes the Chef’s Table concept to a new level. Within the beautifully intimate restaurant, friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable staff served up some of the most fantastically well thought out dishes we have ever eaten. The chefs take time to show everyone the fresh ingredients they will be using and explain the processes used to create certain elements of each dish. The personal touches and effort all of the staff go to engaging with each guest make this a truly special location. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience amazing food and a really entertaining evening out.

AMAZING the whole experience was truly FABOULOOUS. from the we starters and drinks in the lounge to the meal itself in the dinging room it was a truly amazing experience the food was DELICIOUS and we had the Champagne flight which made and brilliant meal absoululty FANTASTIC. the service was superb and the theatre excellent

Just for balance, lets start with the positives: Lovely dining room and setting, really friend bartended who made some exceptional cocktails and was a general delight, cool wine cellar. The negatives: Incredibly expensive for what it was, I found the sommelier a bit disinterested and a complete lack of flavour in the majority of courses. There were a couple of highlights (BBQ lobster was excellent). But the food was broadly lacking in flavour, seasoning etc. I almost went home and tested for COVID. A spaghetti that seemed to be in a water sauce, cucumber from Matts farm (i challenge you to taste the difference between this and tesco cucumber), venison that had been improperly rendered. I could go on. I really don't know what Michelin are thinking giving this two stars, its barely on 1 star level (and that's being generous). Save your money and go to the plethora of other options in London.
