To kick off the year, my wife and I
enjoyed a lunch at the Galvin
brothers’ Michelin
starred Galvin at Windows
(see
here). We enjoyed the food and service. So when we saw Jeff’s and Chris’
second one starred restaurant Galvin La
Chapelle was situated a stone’s throw from where we were staying in Shoreditch / Spitalfields, we had to give it a whirl.
We took advantage of their competitive Prix Fixe, 3 course £29, dinner menu. We found the food delicious, well balanced and with precise cooking; the service good and the décor and atmosphere of the magnificent
Grade II listed St Botolph's Hall
equally impressive.
What Michelin say, ‘The Victorian
splendour of St Botolph's Hall, with its vaulted ceiling, arched windows and
marble pillars, lends itself perfectly to its role as a glamorous restaurant.
The food is bourgeois French with a sophisticated edge and is bound to satisfy.’
Pressed ham hock, foie
gras & red onion marmalade

Sorry about the quality of the
photos; lighting was perfect for a romantic meal out but no so good for taking
pictures.
