What a dining experience we had here! For sure, The Glasshouse will live on as one of my favorite places in London. First, I love going to any Michelin star restaurant and this one was no exception. The service and atmosphere alone are exceptional. We decided to head here for lunch one day after some shopping and we were blown away by the cuisine. I had a Pork Schnitzel starter and my husband decided to order the Scottish salmon. I could have had two more if I wanted, as both were so flavorful and succulent. For the main courses, we shared three items (we wanted some leftovers for the hotel) and those were the Pumpkin and sweet potato Empanadas, Cornish Lamb, and Beef Chateau. I cannot tell you how fantastic these were and any words used to describe will not do them justice. Just incredible. In addition to the spectacular food and service, we did have some wine and if you are into wine, this is your place--the list is endless and there are some wonderful representations here. Naturally, when one travels, dessert is a necessity. So, flourless dark chocolate torte was on my list for sure. Like the rest of the experience, wonderful. Definitely will return to The Glasshouse the next time we are in the UK.

50 for three courses): What a wonderful lunch with rental child #1 (RC#1), her sublime husband (HRC#1), and the bump that is soon to be my first rental grandchild! They took me to The Glass House at Kew's Station Parade - a picturesque square - the train station bustling with London commuters, on one corner an organic grocer across from a "Chemists" (we call them drug stores), and a butcher shop that features game pie, which is next to the subtle glass and wood front of The Glass House - the facade adds a dash of modernity to the tableau of Britishness of the Kew Parade. Now on to the food... AND WINE!Three courses, a HUGE wine list, menacing the Sommelier (Sorry - I'm persnickety), lovely waitstaff, a friendly General Manager, and delicious bread!!! What a treat!!!Let's start with the bread - a choice between raisin walnut or white bread. Don't fill up on bread - even if the waitstaff politely show you the basket multiole times and offer to place the warm deliciousness on your plate. How do you choose three courses from so many possible combinations? We discussed, we researched, then we chose, and decided to share bites.... We did have to resort to Google to look up a few dish items: chou farci (stuffed cabbage); lardo di Colonnata (mmmm lard - bacon's flavorful fatty cousin); and cime di rapa (Broccoli Rabe)Starters: Each plate was elegant and the flavors were wonderful, but the most beautiful plate of the day was HRC#1's Seared Orkney scallops, delica pumpkin, coco nibs, lime and watercress dressing (I've added pictures) - I was so visually stunned that I don't remember the taste. HRC#1 devoured it though.... which is a testament to the deliciousness.RC#1's Duck breast with bok choy, wasabi, teriyaki and grapefruit was intense, and the duck was so tender - it was a great start. I am a fan of eating things that have been hunted, so rounding out our starters was a succulent Rabbit ballotine rolled in pancetta, Dijon mustard, caramelised kohlrabi and lovage - yes,it may have been Bambi's Thumper served with the garden greens that had been nibbling on - but it was so delicious - with Italian bacon (pancetta) and the subtle bright earthiness of dijon mustard. The lovage really added to the dish with a fresh subtle crispness that offset the velvet richness of the rabbit.Wine: AKA where I showed off by torturing the sommelier... This is a Michelin listed restaurant - the wine library is extensive. Overwhelming for even for me. I wanted something from the Rhône - and was tempted to pick a Viognier - but why not have the professionals make a recommendation... he started off with an American Syrah - NOPE said the loud American (me), next he suggested a French Syrah - NOPE said I. I wanted a lighter wine. Then he suggested some blends - Syrah/Viognier - NOPE ... now even I was wondering "why Syrah???". Then he turned the page and uttered the word Gigondas - that ticked all the right boxes - Red, Rhône and really yummy! A bottle of Domaine des Pasquiers `14 - a black Grenache and Syrah blend that was fermented in concrete tanks (no oak) it was perfect! And a win/win the sommelier finally found a Syrah blend that I was going to agree with! Main Courses: HRC#1' s Cornbury estate fallow deer, roasted salisfy, pine, red cabbage and juniper was so good. The juniper was subtle, and I wanted to steal all of his red cabbage. RC#1 and I were back and forth talking about the Suffolk pork shoulder, chou farci, black garlic, cep croustade (spectacular flavour) and poached cranberries - the pork was amazing - long cooked and melt in your mouth, and the stuffed cabbage (chou farci) was a tight, flavorful comfort food. I went for fish: Roasted halibut, harissa, chorizo, confit red pepper, black quinoa and corn sauce. Even though I could not taste the chorizo and could not identify the vegetable (grilled bok choy?) I am still thinking about the corn sauce. It is wrong to lick your plate in polite company - so I didn't. But needles to say, Love, love, loved it.Dessert: You won't over eat at the glass house. The portion sizes are perfect, and they pack a wallop of taste. HRC#1's Passion fruit meringue, coconut ice cream and caramelised mango was lovely. I only tasted (did not eat all of) RC#1's Warm apple and pecan brioche with ginger ice cream, and the ginger ice cream is so intense - it was the best flavor of the night. I went for a classic Dark chocolate mousse, and milk ice cream yummy. Perfect way to end a terrific meal with 2.5 of my favorite people in the world!TL;DR: Relaxed atmosphere with formal service. Seasonal, delicious food with great staff and an extensive wine list. Expensive but totally worth it!

...(can't remember the exam name) are my favourite french restaurant in London. Menu changes daily. Just so french.
Be the first to ReplyExceptional menu, wine and champaign selection.
The service is consistently top notch and overall the experience is very good value for the quality. The atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or colleagues, but La Trompette is better for an evening.

Surprise anniversary dinner scheduled by the boy! We got dressed up, and he resisted my persistent questions while we were on the Overground about where we were going.Our waiter was very accommodating in answering questions I had about the menus, since I frequently had narrowed down to two choices and asked for recommendations. Service in general was outstanding.Starters: mackerel (me), salmon (him). Both were very good, but I'm going to say the salmon was better. I was jealous.Main: quinoa (me), lamb (him). Both were delicious. I was thinking about whether quinoa was too boring to order, but I hadn't had it in ages, and it hit the spot.I was not in love with their dessert options, so I picked the chocolate mousse... and then when it arrived, remembered that I don't really like mousse. Oh well! The carrot cake was more to our taste. Nothing wrong with the quality, though.Turns out they have a system for keeping track of which table has which belongings (i.e. when they take your coat before bringing you to the table). I only found this out because someone wrote the wrong thing somewhere, and I was offered a coat that wasn't mine, while our umbrella was MIA. But we sorted it out with good humour after a bit.Overall, it was very good food, and not expensive for this level. I think it's solid and I'm glad we went, but I would go to explore other restaurants rather than return immediately.

An absolutely delicious lunch on a cold wet day - gorgeous leek and potato soup with masses of garlic, a crispy soft-shelled crab with asian spices, a perfectly unctious daube of beef risotto with a superb selection of breads.

What do I do when I have a free night? Check out new restaurants with my brothers! We're fans of Chez Bruce & wanted try La Trompette, however they were closed for refurbishment, but offered a booking at the Glasshouse & a free glass of champagne for our inconvenience...lucky us.The restaurant itself is cosy & has a modern feel to it. The staff were very accommodating & always served you with a smile.Food wise they have a set 3 course menu for about £40 for dinner, I had;Rabbit Tortellini - good dish, but had a tiny bot of egg shell in the pasta!Roasted Partridge - was slightly overcooked, partridge breast is meant to be slightly pink.Passion fruit tart with coconut ice cream - not a dessert man but this was my highlight, smooth eggy filling & burnt sugar caramel topping, delicious.Despite the egg shell & overcooked partridge the food was still a very high standard, service impeccable, we kept asking for more bread & they had no issue with it at all. The waitress was more than happy to recommend dishes & handled our cheeky boisterous behaviour without batting an eyelid! The sommelier was very knowledgeable, great wine selection & they remembered out champagne, they also took the price of the main off our bill for the slight errors. Overall very enjoyable meal & will be back to this local gem.Minus 1 star for the mistakes.
Be the first to ReplyI visited The Glasshouse for my mum's 50th birthday.
The food was out of this world, and I even had my first (and last) taste of fois gras. Despite my carnivorous nature, I'm not usually one for condoning the force-feeding of innocent farmyard animals in order to knock up an overpriced starter but crikey, it was delicious. As was the rest of the meal, without exception. The quality was fantastic, the service was incredibly efficient, and the location is a lovely, leafy suburb of South-West London, a stone's throw from the beautiful botanical gardens at Kew.Unfortunately, there seems to be this persistent belief that posh food equals serious circumstances. Why?! My lasting memory of The Glasshouse is sadly not the exquisite-tasting offerings, but the lightly padded walls, heavy grey upholstered chairs, neutral carpet and silent waiters: classy, expensive, terrifyingly oppressive. I felt hugely self-conscious the whole time I was there, and wasn't able to enjoy my meal. You couldn't possibly fault the attentiveness of the serving staff but their constant hovering felt like I was eating under a microscope; and nobody enjoys being watched like a hawk whilst they chew. Plus, more than that, the whole place was just so bloody silent! My family is made up of over-exuberant big personalities but not one of us felt that we could raise our voices above a whisper. To be fair it was a mid-week lunchtime but the other diners were miserable-looking businessmen, which didn't help in the slightest, and I can't imagine that it would be exactly jumping, even on a Saturday night.Perhaps I'm just too immature and lacking in taste to fully appreciate this subdued atmosphere but for me a brilliant dining experience isn't just about the food. It's the atmosphere, the company, the memories, the enjoyment, the build-up, the happiness. I have no doubt that the silent reverence of The Glasshouse is many people's ideal restaurant but for me, it's quite the opposite. If my choice is delectable dishes in a silent restaurant or quite good food surrounded by laughter, I'd choose the latter every time. This place is undoubtedly amazing, but it simply isn't for me.

This place is okay but nothing to write home about and not the quality you'd expect for this level. My foie gras was lovely with brioche a great addition, while my husband's sea bass sashimi (supplement) was barely any sea bass and mostly fried shrimp (greasy, smell). The beef main we both had was a real let down, very chewy and lousy cut of meat with a few potatoes pieces that could be from a freezer and all so oversalted. That plus a severely overpriced wine list, next time it's back to The French Table for me.
