The 19 Best Restaurants In Chelsea

"At Stanley’s, you’ll find perfectly trimmed trees, flowers, and sophisticated food that falls somewhere between British and Mediterranean. This place is absolutely perfect for date night or a grown-up birthday dinner with your deeply fabulous friends. Prices can stack up quickly, because, hello, you’re in Chelsea, but it’s all entirely worth it. There’s some perfectly lovely seating inside but really you’re here for the satisfaction of eating burrata and a whole grilled fish out in that charming courtyard." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

The 23 Best Birthday Dinner Restaurants In London

"You’ll find perfect trimmed trees, flowers, and maybe a celeb or two at Stanley’s. The Chelsea restaurant has sophisticated food that falls somewhere between British and Mediterranean, and is perfect for a grown-up birthday dinner with your deeply fabulous friends. Prices can stack up quickly, because, hello, you’re in Chelsea, but it’s all entirely worth it for a great fruity martini on a warm London evening. They have some lovely seating inside, but really you’re here for the satisfaction of eating beef tartare in the charming courtyard." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley

Stanley's

"Look out for the flower stall on Sydney Street because tucked behind it you’ll find Stanley’s. You can either sit in the sheltered, flower-festooned courtyard or inside the lean-to glasshouse. Come for drinks and small plates or the full works; dishes are vibrant and eye-catching with punchy flavours." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Dishes We Tried In August

"Cornish crab and potted shrimp crumpet “As I’m sure every day of your life you wake up and are once again haunted by the question, ‘What does that wonderful Heidi of Infatuation fame deign to eat when she’s not at restaurants?’. Fine, I’ll tell you. I eat crumpets. So many crumpets. Crumpets smothered in marmite and cheese. Crumpets with ham and eggs (please do try The Lazy Man’s Eggs Benedict). And yet, my rosta of crumpets has never come close to this crab and shrimp number from new-ish Chelsea spot, Stanley’s. An extra doughy crumpet loaded with rich crab and little hints of shrimpies, I urge you to make your way to their charming courtyard and try it immediately.” - HLB" - team infatuation

Stanley’s - Review - Chelsea - London - The Infatuation

"You should never underestimate the romantic prowess of a cute courtyard. Trees are sexy people, get with the programme. You’ll find perfect trimmed trees, endless flowers, and a truly winning potted shrimp crumpet–we’ll save our thoughtful reasoning for why crumpets are sexy for another time–at Stanley’s. A secluded courtyard in Chelsea with sophisticated food that falls somewhere between British and Mediterranean, this place is absolutely perfect for date night or a grown-up birthday dinner with your deeply fabulous friends. Prices can stack up quick, because, hello, you’re in Chelsea, but it’s all entirely worth it for a great fruity martini on a warm London evening. They do have some perfectly lovely seating inside but really you’re here for the satisfaction of eating some beef tartare and a whole grilled fish out in that charming courtyard. Don’t skip their quality cheese offerings either. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Heidi Lauth Beasley

We recently held our wedding reception at Stanley’s and cannot recommend it highly enough! The food and drinks were out of this world – every course was beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and an absolute joy to eat. The wine and cocktail selection was excellent too, with something for everyone and perfectly paired with the meal. The service was second to none. Every single member of staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming, which made the whole day run seamlessly. The courtyard looked stunning, and the team went above and beyond both in the set-up and in the lead-up to the big day. Their care and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations and the planning process was so relaxed and enjoyable. Stanley’s helped make our wedding day so special, and we’ll treasure the memories forever. We’re already looking forward to coming back with friends and family – a glass of wine on the terrace will be the perfect way to relive those happy moments! Thank you to Peter, Hugh and the whole team – you really made our day unforgettable.

We held our wedding reception at Stanley’s on Friday 12th, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, Peter and Hugh were absolutely amazing—their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the whole experience seamless. The entire team of staff was impeccable, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that our guests were well looked after. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and delivered piping hot to every guest—a detail that made such a difference. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their meals, which added even more to the celebration. The courtyard restaurant decoration was just so beautiful, creating the perfect setting and atmosphere for our special day. The combination of outstanding service, incredible food, and a stunning venue made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We are so grateful to Stanley’s for making our celebration so special ❤️

I had my wedding meal here on Saturday for 32 people and I have to say the food, atmosphere and staff were all fabulous! The staff made sure the drinks were flowing (remembering individually what wine people were drinking!) and the food came out with no faults and no mix ups! The lead up to the day was stress free and very well organised, ensuring they had enough wine for the day, drinks on arrival and even had our own personalised menu! Thank you for making our day so special, everyone had the most amazing time and we will definitely be back 🥰

Had a really lovely dinner at Stanley’s! Service was really great from the moment we walked in, and the secluded courtyard is a beautiful place for a meal. We ordered the focaccia, burrata, and sugar snap peach salad to start- all delicious and very fresh. Mains of saffron risotto and chicken with girolles and peas were equally delicious and well cooked. Can’t wait to come back again and try more dishes.

A bit tucked away just off the Kings Road in Chelsea, this is an unusual restaurant which has to be entered by two flights of stairs (down, then up) so may not suit everyone. While there is an indoor section, there is also a large outdoor patio covered with awnings which looked fairly rain-proof. The menu can be a bit difficult to understand if you are not a foodie (Burrata, Trombetta, Corra Lin) but our waitress was very willing to explain all. I would also have liked to see the descriptions of the cocktails expanded, not just names, so I could make a more informed choice. Again, our waitress helped out and we were very happy with our choices. The menu is fairly small but covers most people's requirements (meat, fish, vegetarian). We had the cod which while well done was a bit bland. The choice of additional vegetables was again small but the “bobby beans” were cooked perfectly. I then had the chiffon cake which was pleasant; I would not have objected had it been larger. The restaurant was busy for mid-week but service was good and we did not have any undue or unwelcome waits. Clearly, situated in the heart of Chelsea, it was never going to be cheap, but £60 pp. including an automatic 12½% service charge, was probably good value. I was disappointed to see someone smoking but I suppose this counted as outdoors.

We went there for a cocktail event. Everything was perfect, from the food to the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely come for another visit if we're around. 10/10
