Templar Restaurant Wine Bar

Really delightful restaurant, small/sharing plates of great food. Second time we’ve been and it was just as good as the first. The carrots were just as good as the first time we tried them. And the cauliflower was bbqd enough but not too much. Finally the Hake and steak were delicious. No faults and will definitely be going again for a third time! We were lucky to walk up and get a table but I can imagine it could get busy if a show on at the Everyman.

We weren’t expecting much when we walked into the restaurant, but we were very pleasantly surprised — everything was perfect. We’re used to dining out a lot, and it’s rare to find a place that gets so many things right at once. First of all, a big thank you to Claudia, who made our evening. Her service was the perfect balance of friendly and professional, and she made us feel completely at ease from the moment we sat down. The wine list really stood out — affordable but clearly well curated, which is no easy feat. The cocktail menu was also full of creative combinations that actually work — olive oil and vanilla? Who would have thought! But it was genuinely impressive. As for the food, it was simple in the best way — full of flavour, beautifully balanced, and not heavy at all. Compliments to the chef, who even brought a few of the dishes to the table personally — a really lovely touch. Overall, this was such a refreshing and enjoyable experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Excellent food, popped out head in for lunch, very friendly service. They had some mussels with ndjua butter as a special, and we also went for the smoked duck breast, oysters and polenta truffle fries. All of it very fresh and cooked well. Would come back again to try other dishes on the menu.

We had a brilliant time. The wine options and advice from Jonny are outstanding and my sea bream and monkfish were lovely. We were a party of 4 and that worked really well. It’s a pretty place with a lovely bar. Definitely recommended.

Really enjoyed the taste. The sharing plates are surely on a smaller side so you’d need about 3-4 per person if hungry. In that way it might get a bit spenny! Good concept though and great service.

Such an amazing restaurant /bar to go to. Kaulida is AMAZING! Her service was just incredible, food was brilliant, we ordered everything on the menu and everything was cooked perfect.. we will be returning!

Enjoyed lunch here as wanted to try this new venue. Only 2 minute walk from John Lewis and many of the offices around. The salted baked celeriac was delicious...lots of different flavours that complemented each other. Would be great place to go with a group and try selection of dishes to share. Extensive wine list. Friendly staff. Will definitely return.

I booked Templar at the recommendation of one of my colleagues. I requested a table in the Mezzanine area of the restaurant for a group of senior colleagues so they could have some privacy whilst dining. The General Manager, Jonny, was extremely helpful in accommodating this request. Following their lunch my manager reported that the food was delicious and the service was great. I will certainly be using Templar for future bookings.
