La Palombe Kensington
London
レビュー
What a lovely little gem in Kensington. La Palombe is a small, cosy restaurant with a warm atmosphere and exceptionally friendly, professional staff who made us feel very welcome. The food was beautifully prepared, well presented, and absolutely delicious. There’s also a great selection of wines and other drinks to complement the menu. And whatever you do, don’t leave without trying the madeleines – they’re absolutely to die for! Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant, and we’ll certainly be back.
Had a brilliant night at La Palombe last night for our anniversary. The food was spot on, tasty, well-cooked and sufficient. It's a nicely laid out restaurant on a nice part of Kensington High Street. What made the evening even better were the little extras given as it was our anniversary, some really nice touches, and much appreciated. We commented that it really feels different to the central London restaurants that treat you like a £, we were really served well with an individual touch; many thanks especially to Izzy, who went the extra mile to ensure our anniversary dinner was extra special. We had the venison, the lamb, the venison croquette, the game kebab, the Earl Grey creme brulee, and the sourdough bread - all delightful. Thank you La Palombe!!
First time dining here and my new fav hot spot. Service from Leondra was exceptional and food/ drink to match. The liver parfait to share, then had the venison and the skate mains. Finished the night with pistachio ice cream
Wow! This place is truly fantastic, I know I'm generous with my stars because I respect the hard work that's involved in the restaurant business, but this really is 5 stars! This has a Michelin star rating feeling! The appetizers were small works of culinary art which was nice so the 850 gram beautifully done steak with succulent marrow sauce didn't get overwhelming.
I was glad to have chosen La Palombe for my husband’s birthday celebration. It was new year’s day. While most places were quiet, this place was 60-70% full. Service was good, friendly, attentive to detail, patient and efficient. We ordered soda bread, confit duck leg, beef tartare, Cornish skate and sorbets, and a bottle of Loire sauvignon blanc. We were very happy with the tastes, how the dishes were cooked, freshness and choice of the ingredients, temperatures, textures, plating and portion. One of the best food experiences we’ve had in London for the price point. The soda bread/muffins were a surprise. We did have some expectation when the booking system asked whether it’s for any occasion. Wouldn’t blame they if they didn’t do anything about it. At the end of our dinner, they gave my husband two madeleines, some of the best we’ve had. We’ve never had freshly baked madeleines at a restaurant and they were way better even compared to the better patisseries. It was a nice gesture. Ambience was good. My back was not good, and the chairs and how the tables were spaced was not the most comfortable for me. However, the overall ambience was still good. Thanks for making our birthday celebration memorable.
