MICHELIN-starred counter dining; British, Japanese & French techniques





"Hidden beneath Soho, this intimate chef’s counter seats just twelve, delivering an experience defined by closeness to the kitchen and culinary ingenuity." - Ty Gaskins
"New to the Guide in 2022 and awarded One MICHELIN Star; also the venue for the Young Chef Award, won by Luke, Nathaniel and Theo Selby." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"If you thought the Palomar was hard to get in to, one of their other places Evelyn’s Table might as well be surrounded by an electrified fence and a 14th century moat. This kitchen table experience only two doors down from the Palomar itself is in the basement of their pub, The Blue Posts. There’s just eleven seats at the bar, and there’s an irreverent and friendly attitude, so be prepared to get friendly with the chef who’ll be cooking everything right in front of your face. The food is southern European, and you can expect freshly caught fish and hearty pastas, but if the pork jowl or the cuttlefish ragoût are on the menu you should absolutely order them." - Sam Collins
"There’s seating for just 12 people at this counter located in the former beer cellar of The Blue Posts pub. Claustrophobes may be hesitant but on offer is an intriguing and rewarding gastronomic experience. There are two sittings a night and as the set menu is served to all at the same time, do be punctual – if you're early, try the top-floor bar of the pub. Prime British ingredients power dishes that are thoughtfully composed and confidently prepared. Expect the occasional whimsical note too, as with the Peking-style mallard created as a nod to the restaurant’s proximity to Chinatown." - Michelin Inspector
"There are just ten seats at this basement spot under The Blue Posts. It’s quite intimate, so be prepared to get friendly with the chef who’ll be cooking everything right in front of your face. The food is southern European, and you can expect a five course situation with things like freshly caught fish and hearty pastas." - rianne shlebak
