The Ledbury reviews
I have just had a 3+ hour lunch with my friend. It was her treat for me for my 40th, and what a fabulous present that was! We had the full works and every single dish was DELICIOUS. The service was so friendly and John looked after us so well. I can't wait to bring the the rest of the family there soon. Highly recommended.

Visited last night. Thoroughly enjoyable dinner. I particularly enjoyed the recommendation for white wine - from Hungary. As nice a meal as I have eaten.

I am a chef myself, and I cannot find enough superlatives for this place. Food magnificent, menu crafted by a dedicated chef who is obviously passionate about his trade. Dignified decor, a perfect setting for the best service we experienced in Europe. Well done, and good to see so many Aussies and Kiwis doing so well in London. Everything exactly as it should be. Thank you, we will return.

We went as a family of four for a relaxed Sunday lunch at The Lebury. We had two children with us, aged 9 and 12. It was our first time taking them to a Michelin-starred restaurant, as well as our first time at The Ledbury.
We felt at ease right from the very start. The service was fantastic from beginning to end, the staff so warm and friendly to our children. The meal was absolutely divine in every way, and we enjoyed every moment of it.
It was a lovely experience for us all. It is great to find a child-friendly Michelin-starred restaurant. We love this place, and will most definitely be returning again soon.

Came from Malta to London to try some restaurants, as we are in the same business. In our opinion, after visiting other Michelin-starred restaurants, the Ledbury is the best from start to finish, and we think it won't be long before it has another star.

I have been to the Ledbury on three separate occasions now and have yet to be disappointed. The decor and staff alone are to be commended but it is the food and wine where the Ledbury really comes into its own. It is now in my top three dining experiences. I will be back again, very soon.

It was our third visit last night and we were entertaining friends, but I am sorry to report that the fillet steak was tough. They very willingly replaced it but sadly there was no improvement. Otherwise everything was as impeccable and delicious as ever, and we really appreciated the chef specially making the chocolate souffle for us.

Great restaurant, with very friendly staff. An excellent wine list (my only criticism would be that the best value Marguax was out of stock).

Wow - this place is fantastic. Each course was amazing and bursting with flavour. For the standard of food I think it is very reasonable and the service is superb. I will definitely be back!

Have been many times and the Menu Degustation at £55.00 is nothing short of stunning in terms of quality, balance and value for money.
Very good selection of wines, particularly by the 1/2 bottle, and service is attentive without being invasive. They staff are highly professional and the team works well.
It may seem a little formal in the restaurant at first sight, but I encourage everyone to sit back, enjoy the experience and have some fun!

All the way from Australia to try it and definitely worth it! Food was absolutely stunning, words just aren't enough - you need to try for yourself.
Service was great and loved the 'No Smoking' policy! I highly recommend it and would visit again on my next overseas trip.

Fantastic - I eat out a lot, but this is in my top 5 of all time. Beautiful venue too without pretension.

The food and service at this restaurant are wonderful. Have had the tasting menu three times and enjoyed it every time. Not disgustingly filling. The flavours are interesting and pleasing without being overwhelming. The Ledbury just gets everything so right. Better than Maze.

Amazing - absolutely exquisite! Service impeccable and the atmosphere lovely though a bit quiet - but that is what's to be expected on a Sunday afternoon. A delightful meal and will most definitely return!

Seriously good food and the staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is rather formal and while it's not cheap, there's a 3 course lunch menu for £30 which we thought was good value for money considering the quality of the food.
