2024: awarded 2 Michelin stars!Trivet derives from the age-old cooking utensil - an iron tripod placed over fire to support a cooking pot or kettle - reflecting the warmth and balance which forms Head Chef Jonny Lake and Master Sommelier Isa Bal’s values for the restaurant, as well as their working relationship.From the very beginning of the creative process, Jonny, Isa and the team think about how food and drink work together. The menu features their explorations of ingredients, dishes and drinks from around the world, inspired by the culinary history and diversity around us. The wine list is set out chronologically, following the historic beginnings of wine to present day, with over 350 wines from classic producers to the New World, as well as acknowledging the root of viti-vinoculture with wines from Georgia, Armenia and Turkey.As well as the welcoming main dining room, Trivet has a terrace, wine bar and private dining space.

I came here on the recommendation of a review in the FT weekend magazine- Tim Hayward. The food lived up to his description. We were fortunate to have one excellent waitress who also helped with the wine menu, which was very well thought out and presented from 7000 BC to 3000 AD! Loved it!

Had the valentines menu. Good price but what they call sharing sides are actually regular sides between 2 so we had to order more. The dessert that came with it was essentially a plate of whipped cream with some pastry and a sprinkle of fruit - terrible. They also put the tables way too close together so you get to hear the full conversation of your dinner neighbours. Other than that, the steak is tasty, our waiter very attentive and it was a nice time.

The service was great, pretty quick. The waitress was really nice and professional. We appreciated the cake for the birthday although it could be served before we ordered desserts because we were full. The atmosphere is a bit noisy but overall very nice.
