Whyte's

The food, the atmosphere… everything was exceptional. I don’t know how to say it, but it’s almost something more than just a restaurant. Maybe it’s the intimate size of the place, or getting to sit at the bar and see everything come together. Whatever it is, the team have definitely got something special going on in that kitchen! We tried a good selection of dishes, but I can’t really pick a favourite. Each one had something special about it. It’s all genuinely really good food with fun and tasty twists. ‘Small plates’ probably doesn’t do it justice, they’re proper generous portions! I just wish I’d visited sooner, but what a treat to visit for the greatest hits menu and I can’t wait to visit again!

Absolutely fantastic meal, the menu changes monthly and this was my first visit. Even my very traditional mother enjoyed it! The plantain banoffee and croquettes and smash burger were my personal highlights Can’t wait to try and get another booking in soon!

Finally! Got to chow down on the Basque menu and everything we ate and drank was delicious. Service was warm and on point. Yes it's not cheap but why should it be, you're paying for flavour and quality and it shows. Hoping to get back for the "best of" menu in September...or fingers crossed for another smash burger pop up (please!!)

A confusing, or perhaps confused, meal at Whyte’s. Beautiful oysters to start, if a little too attached to the half shell, and drowned in horseradish sauce. The Yorkshire pudding arrived proud, then toppled under the weight of its roe-packed toppings and fillings. This felt like a fitting metaphor. Under-roasted parsnips sitting in a curdled brown crab sauce followed. The biggest disappointment was the halibut schnitzel (£75). While the fish itself was fresh, delicate, and crisp, it was suffocated by a cold wet blanket of chewy crayfish in a vinegary (Marie Rose?) sauce. Maybe save that for filling sandwiches. Chocolate orange crémeux was dominated by the crunch of salt. The bread and wine we had were very good. People seem to like the music from reading other reviews, but personally I didn’t love hearing Jamiroquai, ‘Virtual Insanity’ the first time or the second. Sitting at the bar is fine, but hooks or someplace to put coats would have been nice. In hindsight, should we blame ourselves for ordering poorly? Everything basically tasted of iodine and salt. But it seemed the dishes we tried, no matter how tempting they sounded, lacked balance in execution and taste. Whyte’s felt less experimental and more like throwing things at the wall to see what, if anything, sticks. Our very competent server told us that Whyte’s is shutting up shop in February to embark on a ‘World Tour’. Sounds exciting! Personally, what I would find exciting are dishes that taste good individually and cohere as a reasonably priced (!) menu.

These chefs have confidence know- how and flare, and it is not often I say this. Each dish arrived letting me know under no uncertain terms I am what I said I would be. Bold flavours, striking looks! Importantly the chefs understood and delivered portions i.e a chop is a chop, it is a lump of meat, but had been perfectly sliced, the bream was a bream, not a filet that was shared between orders. I left feeling extremely satisfied and full. The orange wine was very nice, sat well with the dishes The restaurant itself is airy and spacious. A bit out of the way but I would say it is really worth making that effort.

We tried this place on a whim after coming across their instagram while in London on holiday. I didn’t really know what to expect but I was blown away. The food was so creative, fun and exciting to eat and the atmosphere was chill, vibey and intimate. The cocktails were particularly great, I loved the Quincey Jones. The finger burner tomahawks were so good I could eat theme every day and my fiancé also particularly loved the playlist they had on. The service was great, Liv and Whyte were so nice and helpful, I seriously hope they decide to stop in Baltimore on their upcoming tour so we can enjoy their food again! ❤️❤️❤️

Hands down one of the best restaurants in London. Been attending Whyte's pop up events for years so it's amazing to see him & his team thriving in their own space. You're in for a treat dining here - not one to be missed by any London foodie.

This exceeded all expectations! I’ve been dying to come for ages and finally made it on their anniversary month so the menu featured all the greatest hits! From the cocktails, to the food, and even their playlist, it was all exceptional! The servers and all the staff were all so lovely and attentive! Best culinary experience in London in a long time! Can’t wait to come back!!!! Congrats Liv, Whyte and the entire Whyte’s team!!!!!!
