Duchy

The experience at Duchy was lovely. Dined solo at the counter, staff were welcoming and friendly. Really enjoyed watching the chefs, who love their craft. Food was full of unique flavor, and the dishes were works of art. Was on the fence about dessert - chocolate mousse was great, Grand Marnier ice cream on top of it was out of this world. This place is a hidden gem, book a reservation while there is still availability!

We had a great time at Duchy one blustery Thursday evening. Largely due to the buzz - the atmosphere and decor is just sumptuous, and the team are wonderfully welcoming. The food was all great without there being the kind of standout dish that has you talking about the place to anyone who will listen. The beef ragu pappadelle was a great example of the genre. The sausage was extremely flavourful. The potatoes were great, not least because of their liberal drenching in cheese. As we left, we both agreed we'd had a really good meal and would be fortunate to find ourselves here again... even if we might not be telling everyone we know to "run, don't walk".

Oh I so loved my dinner at Duchy. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is utterly convivial, relaxed but perfectly designed: from the lights to the loo nothing was overdone. The food itself is the most lighthearted mix of French and Italian cuisine (no easy fit). Cannot recommend enough their vitello tonnato, or the mallard. One of the best new places in London.

Bar perfect for solo diner, very at ease ambiance and lovely decor all around. Spacious yet a homey atmosphere. Spaghetti obviously freshly made just the right texture. Ingredients are all very fresh. The dessert is perfect to finish the meal even if you would just like a light sweet treat.

Tucked away in the back street of Shoreditch, this is a comfortable room serving small plates. The sauces were stunning and the service was super friendly. If you like your wine, you will be in heaven. Strongly recommend!

It was hard to choose what to go for as we would've had everything on the menu. The liverpate and woodpigeon were absolutely delicious and I would recommend the chocolate mousse with hazelnuts as a decadent finish. The restaurant is gorgeous, I love the open kitchen. It was a pleasant surprise to find they have a sommelier who ensures there are some banging but affordable wines on the menu. (Our red wine was delicious and sub £40!) Our compliments and thanks to chef-owner Simon, well definitely be back.

Brought to you from the team behind Leroy's. It was all very good but for me the smoked trout was standout, to die for, soft like butter and super tasty. The medley that came with sausage was full of umph to stand up to the sausage. The brown butter almond cake was chewy deliciousness. The wine list is long, unless you are looking for the cheapest bottle, do ask for advice. The wine we were recommended was fantastic. All in all a very enjoyable dinner

Food is full of flavour: super creamy custard tart, pumpkin and sage sauce was outstanding. Good service, warm atmosphere inside, very pleasant experience overall for the Piedmont week.
