Daphne's London Reviews
A unique and very Special Restaurant
I tried to put 5/5 but it wouldnโt let me! Starting with the warmest greeting from darling Gabriele, we had the most perfect evening and dinner yet AGAIN. Superb service, lovely sitting on the terrace, we felt we were in Italy ! Delicious foo
An outstanding lunch.
I met 3 girlfriends here for lunch last week and we all agreed that the whole experience was superb. It was impossible to fault anything. The welcome when we arrived, the decor and atmosphere, the service and of course the food were all of the highes
A special place to dine and visit with old friends
It was a perfect evening on the patio, carefully tended by Karol, dining on a range of delicious Italian dishes. We shared a starter of chargrilled calamari with courgettes, broad beans and chilli. The sea bass crude with lemon, oregano and chilli d
The best lunch this year!
That was by far the best lunch I've had (and I've had many!) this year. The Veal Cutlet was stunning, the Valpolicella was delicious. Well done Gabrielle and Daphne's. Superb service and amazing food. I wish I had to come to Piccad
Donโt waste your money here!!!
Went for my daughterโs birthday. Put us in a corner table which was nice enough but the table behind us was really close. The couple on the table behind who were there before we were seated had a loud heated argument for the entire duration of our
Decent food in a good setting but a bit underwhelming - jacuzzi , Cipriani and Scalini are just better all round alternatives
FaceTime calls on full volume.
Had lunch in the conservatory last Sunday, and had a group of six people on a FaceTime call at full volume for over 15 minutes much to the annoyance of every client in the area. I asked the waitress to ask the guest to end the call , she did not . I
Good food, but noisy setting
We enjoyed our dinner at Daphne's, every single dish we ordered was tasty and freshly prepared. The service was very attentive and professional, staff took great care of us. The restaurant is very popular and therefor busy and quite noisy, so it
10/10 a must visit
Such a gorgeous restaurant with plenty of gluten free options available - had a lovely meal & tasty cocktails will be visiting again!
Daphne's has old school '60s charm with attentive waiters in green jackets and a barstool area with faded grandeur. Pleasant ambience in the conservatory at the back. Was busy if you were seated inside even at lunchtime midweek. Pretty ave
A deeply disappointing and unsafe experience--especially
A deeply disappointing and unsafe experience--especially for women. I visited this restaurant while traveling, hoping to enjoy a special dinner with my cousin whom I hadn't seen in a while. Instead, we endured a distressing and frankly dangerou
Best Tiramisu ever
Great and frรญendly service from Bartenders, maybe the best Tiramisu of my life. Highly recommend! Pricey but is well worth it
Expensive Italian
An upmarket Italian. A bit noisy. Dishes are reliable, service remains a bit slow. Kids are welcome. You will only have tables for a limited amount of time (typically 2 hrs), adding an unnecessary American toich.
Fave London Italian Spot
One of my most favorite spots in London - the food is always delicious and the service is great! It is definitely on the pricier side but vibe, food, and cozy decor make it a special spot!
Really Poor Service
My daughter and her friends came here for Sunday Lunch, but wish they hadnโt! The food was ok, but the service was really bad! The girls asked to be sat on a different table, and there were plenty of tables free, but the staff were very dismissive
Great Italian place in Chelsea.
Great Italian place in Chelsea. High-quality food and a great, extensive wine list for all tastes and pockets. The only negative comment is that waiters are a bit hectic as we were asked the same things by different people a couple of times (are we r
Nothing special
Nothing special; an average restaurant. We came with friends, however weโll never come again. Everything we ordered was average, nothing special.
Exceptional
A new farm to table restaurant. Finer dining, thoughtfully executed menu, extensive wine selection, tasteful venueโฆ just exceptional!! Thank you!
Fine Dining near the Royal Albert Hall
I had bought tickets to a concert at the Royal Albert Hall for my husbandโs 60th birthday, and some of our relatives clubbed together for a pre-show dinner voucher at Daphnes. From the moment we stepped through the door we were made to feel welcom
Glamourous Daphne's old school charm
Beautiful restaurant, with jolly good food (best crab linguini I've ever eaten props to the chef) but the service could be stepped up at a little. Let me be clear, the staff we smiley and friendly but mistakes happened that took the shine off dinning
A fall from grace. Really poor
I used to come to Daphnes for years with my family and friends but hadnโt been in a few years. What a fall from grace. Some of the worst food I genuinely have ever had in London. Shocking, and pretty poor service. To top it off, a ยฃ600 bill for 4
Thursday dinner at the counter
We miss the old Daphneโs I come to London twice per year with my husband Lundvik, Daphneโs became a must for the last few years until nowโฆ We used come for the lovely ambience of bartenders such as Salvatore who sadly left, at that times we h
Salt can be added, it cannot be taken away!
What was the pasta chef thinking? Salt can be added, it cannot be taken away and we had to tell them this twice when our linguine vongole came to the table so salty it was inedible. They did take it off the bill which was good but the shame was we we
Grazie Matteo
I believe that we might have found one of our new favourite restaurants here in London, perhaps the most family friendly place weโve stepped foot in. Authentic Italian cuisine and amazing staff such as Matteo who will go above and beyond for you.
Check the bill
We know this restaurant well and as many do it has had its ups and downs. Today the food was ok but the shock came at the end of the meal. We had been sitting at the bar and when the bill arrived we were a little taken aback when the card machine was
Lovely food, very nice people but no wheelchair accessible toilets
Daphne's is an institution, part of the Caprice 'stable' with food and service as good as Scott's or Sheekey's. If you are a wheelchair user, make sure that you don't drink too much as there are no accessible loos! The staff were clearly embarrassed
Very fine Italian in London
The conservatory has a lovely, cozy and romantic vibe. The food and service were just lovely! This was our first visit to London, and we had a 7:30 reservation. We had to wait a bit at the bar, and enjoyed that part of the experience as well. Beaut
Very average
Beautiful venue and decor, very friendly wait staff (apart from front desk who came across intimidating) but the food was very bland and extremely overpriced. The wine was poor at ยฃ14 a glass I expected better. We just returned from Rome where we co
Top Restaurant and Quality Food
Only just got round to writing my review but what a fantastic restaurant this is. The restaurant is a short walk from our home and we enjoyed a Sunday lunch with a bottle of wine at the end of summer. Great service and very high quality food. I would
Excellent
A really lovely place, great atmosphere and really friendly staff. We sat at the counter and had plenty of room, the food was gorgeous and plentiful. We canโt wait to go back and do it all again
such a big marketing scam, such an average place.
nothing special and a total waste of money and time
Happy Celebration
First visit to this restaurant, for a lunch time celebration . Warm welcome and good all round ambience, nice decor, etc. Service throughout was excellent. Had the tagliatelle with wild boar Raghu, which was delicious, aswell as the pork/veal meatbal
The food is delicious but the waitresses arรฉ dreary and
The food is delicious but the waitresses arรฉ dreary and NOT FRIENDLY. Honestly, a robot would have more personality. The decor is terrific, the customers are beautiful people and the staff were depressing.
Definitely a place to see and be seen.
Booked via opentable and, as americans, were treated dismissively by hostess and server. Food was very good but not outstanding given the expectations. Three dining rooms with clear pecking order. Suspect we may have had a different experience if
Very limited food menu, huge drink menu, uppity staff
Very limited food menu, huge drink menu, uppity staff (especially the blonde hostess) and mediocre service. We went there simply because of the name. We should have listened to the concierge at our hotel who tried to warn us off. We had a reservat

Pure catfishing! Booked way in advance for December when decor is up, a birthday dinner & got put in the crummy section that isn't decorated. We had to sit there and stare at the decorated room like peasants we are. Our waiter seemed like he w
Celebrated our wedding anniversary while in London.
What a find: great restaurant. The ambiance, the service and food were fantastic, along with a delicious Ripasso.
Beautiful restaurant and ambiance but unfortunately that's
Beautiful restaurant and ambiance but unfortunately that's about it. Sat close to the wait station and was distracted the entire meal but staff joking, talking and goofing around- even broke a glass in front of us. Fish was dry. Service was mediocre
Excellent Italian
Went back for a business lunch after a few months and still a great restaurant with excellent food and top flight service
The bathrooms smell great!
My partner and I are "regulars" so we are biased and happy to be so. Excellently managed by Gabrielle, many long term staff which is always a good sign, every dish either of us ( or friends) has had there has been first class. The front r
Excellent food, decor, atmosphere and service
Second time here. Excellent food, decor, atmosphere and service. I ordered the prawns, the tagliatelle and truffles. All were absolutely delicious. The service was excellent- very attentive staff. The restaurant is stunning and the prices are reasona
Couldnโt have been better
We was sat in the most gorgeous of tables underneath the the umbrellas in a sort of garden esque aesthetic. Parid, our waiter, was the perfect host. Friendly, helpful and courteous. Knew exactly what we wanted and was always there to make sure everyt
Simply the best
Sometimes I wish there was a 5 and a half star box we could tick because this place would qualify hands down. There is a reason you canโt just get a casual reservation and that comes down to location, ambience, food and staff that are par excellenc
Food is AMAZING
Loved. Sat at the bar. Bartenders super nice. Had half portion of pasta (which was still big) and branzino. Martini was lovely as well. Space very nice. My only negative: I had issues with reservation. Made one online, called to confirm, told I didn
Great lunch
Visited for lunch yesterday. This restaurant stands the test of time. Packed even on a Monday. Fabulous chianti. Amazing food. Tuna tartare followed by calves liver. Lovely bread and tomato salad. Service and ambience excellent. Highly recommend
Great spot for Ambiance & Cocktails.
The drinks are unique and tasty, the service is great. The food itself is not the main attraction but great spot especially around the holidays.
New year dinner out
The Christmas decorations were pretty spectacular. Service was lovely polite and friendly and the food was excellent. Lovely vibe and ambiance and a lovely place to start off the new years outings.
Great Christmas Ambiance and Great Bartenders
We visited Daphnes to experience the Christmas spirit/environment that they put so much effort into. We had a reservation around the time they opened and were sat at the bar (which I usually am not a fan of, but it was great). The bartenders were ver
Appalling hostess behavior ruined the entire experience.
Unfortunate as used to be quite a nice spot.
Connect with users posting reservations for Daphne's London
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Daphne's London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Daphne's London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Daphne's London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Daphne's London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Daphne's London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
