    Small but perfectly formed, the food was simple but excellent and tasted amazing. That combined with a great wine list and fab service made for a brilliant meal. Would definitely return.

    The menu has somewhat deteriorated with a small selection of dishes. Food was not bad, but was not the sumptuous dishes that used to be served here. Moreover covered a deposit that was not refunded or deducted off the bill.

    A hidden gem close to the Royal Albert Hall, very small place mind you. Excellent service and very tasty scandi fusion food, ideal for sharing a pre-show meal. Very well done Publiq!!

    We came here based on google reviews, and did not disappoint. All the staff were so lovely and welcoming, had good knowledge of the menu, the mocktails were pricey but worth the money as they were absolutely delicious. The food was served quickly, it was beautifully plated and everything tasted amazing. Between 2 of us we shared the tempura vegetables for starter, then had chicken schnitzel and meatballs, and waffle for dessert. We emptied every single plate, and very much enjoyed our time here. We will be back!

    The cod was the standout dish with its soft texture, crispy skin and delicious sauce. As for starters, the vegetable tempura was top notch. Highly recommend!
