Absolutely outstanding. I’m so happy we found this place. Easy to get to as it’s right on Kensington High Street not far from the Tube. Welcoming interior and attentive staff. Unusually inexpensive wine list with lots of variety—our bottle was excellent. But the food is the super star. Every dish was exactly what we hoped for. Sourdough bread with butter and radishes: lovely toast, whipped butter and radishes so cute I thought I might be a Hobbit. Excellent pâté made us smile. A nice carrot pickle bite to balance the charred octopus. Chicken ballotine was the perfect dish we’d ever wanted until… the duck à l'orange. I’ll be dreaming of that duck for a very long time. The excellent balance of tart-sweet-umami. Absolutely perfect dish. We found room for a lovely crème brûlée to finish and some excellent fresh baked madeleines. A couple of post-dinner cocktails sent us up to heaven. What an experience! We’ll be back.

What an incredible experience! We went to la Palombe for dinner and I gotta say that it’s a new jewel in London !! The staff was super friendly, keen to have a chat and giving us recommendations. They told us how the ingredients are sourced locally such as the truffles and the venison. I can’t recommend more to have the amuse-bouche, entree, mains and dessert. All dishes complement each other so well. The menu changes regularly, but if you can have a freshly baked madeleines, it will certainly make your evening. Can’t wait to come back again!

The attention to detail and the harmony of ingredients elevated the entire meal into an unforgettable culinary journey. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance of the restaurant added to the magic of the evening. If you’re a lover of fine dining, La Palombe is an absolute must-visit. Bravo to the team and the chef for such an exceptional dining experience!

La Palombe is a true delight! The warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service make for a fantastic dining experience. The food is exceptional, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors. The chargrilled octopus starter and perfectly cooked venison main were standout dishes, expertly paired with an excellent wine selection. A must-visit on Kensington High Street – we can’t wait to return!

Delicious food and stellar service. The experience at La Palombe blew us away. We had duck & octopus to start, and shared cote de beouf for main. Sergio gave us brilliant pairing advice and we ended up with wines we loved. The best restaurant in High Street Kensington. Many exciting options on the menu, we’ll be sure to return.
