The Pem

Absolutely superb. We visited for our wedding anniversary and it was amazing. We had the tasting menu and wine flight. Each course was absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented and everything a taste sensation. The staff Manuel and Lidiana made it so special for us.

I was so impressed with the tasting menu! This is the sort of place that many overlook, partly because of the hotel’s relative obscurity. You could expect to be the only people dining here some weekdays. That does not stop the restaurant from executing an extremely high level of classic British plates, with a lovely and attentive team who explained the menu well.

What a journey my taste buds had. To begin, the service was sophisticated and straight forward with the staff immediately ready to take care of you. The atmosphere is rather quiet and I expected a little more ambience, nonetheless the service surely made up for it. The food took me on a lovely journey, and I was quite lucky with my selection of plates - if I were you I’d recommend to try these pictured dishes in order. The scallop starter can seem very smoky at times but I enjoyed the unique flavour palette nonetheless. The beef was also delicious - but the lamb trumps it. A person at my table ordered the veal and was not very fond of the taste as it was quite bland. I did take a nibble at the apple tart and became quite fond of it. And surely, the lemon meringue lived up to it’s hype, it was light and refreshing. Although I personally preferred the earl grey tart as I do love earl grey. Lastly, I thought it was a nice touch to see women’s portraits displayed throughout the restaurant, perhaps to represent a feminist essence of the suffragettes? I hope to dine here again as I can see the hard work displayed in and out of the kitchen.

We were there for our anniversary, and the food was amazing! The front of house staff was very welcoming and they we were very well taken care of, during the service. I highly recommend!!

Breakfast here was almost perfect. Service is brilliant, polite and prompt. Prices are on the higher side but you get what you pay for. A good selection of quality food and drink. The atmosphere is very pleasant and access for those with limited mobility is easy. Overall I would recommend visiting

It was art. I had one of the best culinary experiences in my life, from start to finish. Mackerel with white strawberry and beef with pear highly recommended.

The restaurant is inside the Conrad Hotel, near St James Underground station. I chose the 2 course set lunch menu which was £35. Rather than picking 2 courses from the á la carte menu the set menu features special dishes that change seasonally (although the vegetarian option was on the main menu.) After being greeted promptly and seated, I was offered water and brought some home made wholemeal bread accompanied by whipped butter with a herb oil. The butter was delicious, soft and salty and the bread warm. I could've easily made a meal of it on its own! I opted for the spring salad and roast chicken, and that description doesn't begin to do it justice. Everything was beautifully presented, the salad looked like a work of art with tiny edible flowers scattered across it. I'm not sure my photos show how good it looked. My server described the dishes and ingredients as they arrived, which I normally hate, but this was done in a helpful and informative way. The chicken was presented two ways; as ballatine with panko breadcrumbs and as a slice of thigh with lovely crispy skin, I wasn't sure about the inclusion of nettles when I read the menu but everything was delicious. Both the salad and the chicken were excellent and the portion size good (I was offered the dessert menu but regretfully I didn't have room to do it justice.) I chose a glass of white wine to go with my meal and the sommelier was very helpful as my wine knowledge is pretty much none existent. For central London the price of wine by the glass wasn't bad, it started at £12 for 125ml/£15 for 175ml. The wine was a new one to me and delicious, but I didn't think to note the name and now can't remember it. Throughout the meal the service was professional and friendly without being intrusive and I was addressed by name, which I thought was a lovely touch. It was the first time I'd been to The Pem but they made me feel like I was favourite guest. For the high level of food and service, and the atmosphere in the restaurant I thought it was very good value.

Ambience was perfect, atmosphere was chill. The staff were 5 star and the food was amazing. Highly recommend The Pem.
