Description: Accredited with 3 AA Rosettes and 2 Michelin Stars for its exceptional fine dining, The Ledbury is an award-winning French restaurant in London's cosmopolitan Notting Hill district. Established by famed restaurateur Nigel Platts-Martin and Philip Howard, The Ledbury offers first class menus crafted by skilled Australian chef Brett Graham. Delicately presented, each mouth-watering course is comparable to a feast. Diners can indulge themselves with dishes such as Roast Scallops with Pumpkin and Mandarin Purée, Trompettes and Ginger, followed by Crisp Pressed Suckling Pig with Mangosteens, Mollasses, Salsify and Ham Beignet, before finishing with a light Trio of Small Crème Brulees with Ice Cream and Madeleines. The service is attentive yet never overbearing, with the knowledgeable staff always ready to assist and the expert sommelier able to suggest a wine to accompany any dish. For an intimate ambience and outstanding meal in one of London's most affluent areas, The Ledbury offers a consistently high standard every time.

The Ledbury was all that I expected and more. Brett has put together an amazing team lead by Stephen on the floor. The food is beyond compare and the matching wines incomparable. The degustation took me on a journey of goodie delight. Aussie's certainly know how to do it abroad. The long lunch was topped off by an invitation into... More

There is a reason The Ledbury is rated #1 by Harden's: it's that good. They have found the perfect balance of service: superbly performed and accommodating (with plenty of staff), without being overly formal or fussy. In fact, the staff were extremely hospitable and warm. What a delight to see everyone smiling! The there is the food: extraordinarily well crafted... More

Was taken here by a friend on a really sunny evening. The front french doors were open making the place feel more summery- nice touch compared to being stuck inside a dark indoor restaurant when the weather is good. Food was the 3 course a la carte menu. Absolutely loved it. Every dish from the amouse bouche to the dessert... More

My meal at The Ledbury exceeded my expectations. It was outstanding in all respects - food, service and decor. We had the chef's tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was extraordinary and the wine pairings were well thought out and elevated each dish. We added the cheese service, which was well worth it. Service was spot on. Friendly and... More

Just amazing restaurant and food of the quality is just delicious. I would like to let you know that this is something so so special. The service can be a little bit better but the food is just playing with ur tounge in your mouth and you fell like in seven heaven.

Amazing food - very accommodating as I am vegetarian who cannot eat gluten or dairy so they devised an absolutely spectacular tasting menu for me which was was quite simply out of this world. When a warmed selection of fresh bread was brought for my companions, I accepted (as I normally do in these situations) there would be nothing I... More

Birthday, bright day, Sunday lunch, £50 3 course menu + corkage fee. Given the bargain (bear in mind it has 2 stars and recently ranked as the 14th best restaurant in the world (I don't believe in those rankings though)), ordered a second menu to share amongst 4. Starters and main were stunning; be it the flamed mackerel, the Hampshire... More

I have been twice to the Ledbury and had a tasting menu both times. It is really worth it. Everything was delicious, creative dishes, nice portions... The setting is great and the place is not too big, so feels very private. The service was perfect, waiters are there when you need and are friendly, not as pompous as you could... More
