    This was my second visit to Gautier in Soho, and I had high expectations after my first experience, which was truly memorable thanks to its intensely flavored dishes, exceptional techniques, and beautiful hospitality. I was genuinely impressed! Unfortunately, this time was memorable for entirely different reasons. The food fell flat, featuring an overwhelming amount of shiitake mushroom powder, apple purée, vegan cream spread, and subpar vegan cheeses. The culinary techniques seemed average, and the service for the first part was exceedingly slow that made us tired and anxious. There were a few redeeming moments, particularly with the canapés and the final dessert, which felt appropriate for a restaurant of this caliber. However, the majority of the dishes were underwhelming and something I could easily replicate at home, potentially with better quality vegan cheeses. Overall, my experience was disappointing, especially considering the price point. Additionally, the restrooms could use better maintenance and attention during service hours.

    Booked this meal with a lot of expectation for my 40th birthday and was the most unpleasant meal I haver had. This evening was a big fiasco: I book a table for 19:30pm, 19:27 at the door disappointed as there were literally a cue to enter.I tried to see what was happening and there was only one staff member collecting all those peoples jackets and take them to the tables. After 10 we were seated and the waiter came and said sorry for the waiting but they were rotating seating times-this is a poor excuse. If they know this can happened they job is literally manage that situation: ie. accept less bookings at the same time; have a gap between rotation. We started the meal with an amuse bouche but we still did not had water or wine-mention that we had chosen the wine pairing, so straight away we did miss one wine. After that the waiter came and asked what we wanted to drink, I remind them about the wine pairing and that I would like some water as well. They served us with the water first and them bring the 1st wine that Ive learn the one to be served for the 1st 3 dishes - Pairing wine isn't an exact science but that should be a wine per dish. The food start to arrive and one after the other was blend, flavourless, no textures and many ingredients been used repeatedly over and over.We had 3 times apple/pear pure. Quinoa used in 2 dishes, the same type of herbs all over again. No protein at all! I burned myself in the bread that they called brioche-the only hot food we had all night. The huge gap between dishes-we literally had finished each one in less than 1 minutes and waited more than 5 for the next one. The tasting menu had 10 dishes with 4 dishes resembling the sea and only one "meat" flavours. This meant as well that we had to drink white wine all night except for one dish. To finish must say that toilets are a disgrace-toilet paper all over like a pub, paper all over the floors, no cloth towels. Restaurant music was terrible, toilets music amazing. Poor-Poor!!

    The entire dining experience was exceptional. You couldn't imagine such a venue in a busy soho. Right from the get go we were warmly welcomed. The menu was better than expected and the wine pairing was on point. Each dish was beautifully presented and was divine. I am by no means vegan nor a vegetarian but I did not miss the meat. The menu does more than compensate for the carnivores. Amazing 👏

    A masterclass in plant based cookery. Beautiful flavours, every mouthful a taste explosion. Enjoyed the wine pairing. It would have been nice if the non-alcoholic drinks offering had a little more thought. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience

    Food was absolutely amazing. Couldn't fault it. The only thing that let the meal down was the non-alcoholic drinks pairing. They weren't very nice and didn't enhance the meal, but let it down slightly. The staff were really lovely. As I said, highly recommend the food, just not the drinks.

    A touch of genius. This was the most inspirational, beautiful, delicious and groundbreaking experience. Loved every one of the 9 courses plus the canapés and petit fours. The ambience, comfort, and friendly, informative, attentive staff was a joy. And, good value for something so remarkable and special. Thank you.

    The food is just sublime. Really outstanding and unforgettable. And the drinks - I tried both the wines and the non-alcoholic selections - are excellently chosen, and the menus are expertly put together. The space is small in a cosy way, retaining the understated charm of an old London property. The acoustics are excellent, so even if everyone is chatting away it feels quiet. Soft music fills the air non-intrusively. The service, of course, impeccable. All in all, this is a gem of a place. I foresee many more visits.
