"In short, you might say, Medlar has many of the qualities you might associate with the legendary 'perfect neighbourhood restaurant’." READ REVIEW

"The service, without being remotely intrusive, is impeccable, the cutest touch being how the sommelier decants every wine, even the comparative cheapos, from an unusually well balanced list." READ REVIEW

"Menus rarely come this well balanced and harmonious. There is nothing that shrieks of kitchen hubris or the sloaney nursery." READ REVIEW

"Medlar is easy to admire for competence in every department – meat cooking, sauces, flavour combinations, pudding techniques – but a little hard to love." READ REVIEW

"Dish after dish wowed us with its balance of flavours and sublety of expression, such as a dessert of buttermilk panna cotta topped with English strawberries and crumbed pistachios - delicate and restrained, and all the better for it." READ REVIEW

"...you get technically flawless dishes such as fat, single raviolo packed with crabmeat and beefed up with leek, samphire, brown shrimp and lobster bisque." READ REVIEW

Medlar

Let me cut straight to the point. I loved this place and think it’s the best new restaurant in Chelsea. My advice would be to pick up the phone now, and make a booking before they get completely full.

The quintessential Chelsea neighbourhood restaurant is back. And boy, have Joe and David got it right on all levels. Great value, stunning flavours with friendly and informative service. I’m going back this week to start eating my way through the menu, and at these prices, why not?
