The Kensington Wine Rooms

Average experience at this restaurant. The staff is friendly, but there's nothing particularly noteworthy to make it stand out.

Not a bad option for a meal after exploring the area. The restaurant was busy during happy hour, but we were lucky enough to snag the last available table.

beautifully cooled place, perfect for a after work bevy. amazing weine and 5* service. great location on the church street. great facility, very cozy, but stylish. Speisekarte ansehen

Kensington Wine Rooms is a great spot for a glass of wine and a casual meal. They have a more traditional restaurant in the back but I liked the are with high tables where they offer tasty tapas and a wide variety of wines.

fantastic wine bar and restaurant, extensive range of 40 really interesting weeps to drink from the rehearsal and glass. friendly service and really good bar snacks and restaurant food. no better in notting hill when they are in the opposite, a visit must take place.

We have been living a 10 minute walk from Kensington Wine Rooms for two years but had never been there, even for a glass of wine. Sometimes when things are too close or convenient, you end up never going. Now that we are moving to a new neighbourhood, we have suddenly found the extra motivation to explore as many of those restaurants undiscovered places as possible. Stewart flew back from the US in the morning and we wanted a quick casual meal but a cute place to catch up on his week away over a glass of wine, and Kensington Wine Rooms seemed like a good choice.

For our mains, P and I both went for the duck confit with gratin, spinach and port sauce with a glass of Bourgogne pinot noir and G had the tempura fish and chips, minted mushy peas and tartare sauce with a glass of Macon-pierreclos – burgundies all round. G is not a fan of mushy peas but really enjoyed what was put in front of him. The duck was of the melt in the mouth variety and the gratin was very good (though possibly not quite as amazing as that produced by the potato wizards at Les Deux Salons! . The port sauce tasted more redcurrant than port, but was still pleasant. The wines (large glasses this time – all available in 125ml and 175ml measures once again were perfect companions.

because I wear a soft spot for a good glass wine, I really wanted to love kensington wine rooms. Actually, I can have the extensive weinlist that offers an exciting variety through the glass (up to 40 at any time to be exact! . and actually the overall concept is really quite fantastic. I found, however, that eating the place was sadly down. I am all for fresh, well-swelling, easy to eat and read the menu well. but in order to shine, simple eating must be done well, and unfortunately I did not find that to be the case at this time. the venison carpaccio was dry and excessively smokey and the seebarsch tiradito came in dressing and capering without recognizable fish at all smeared. that said...

Unexpectedly lovely experience. We loved our lunch here and found it by looking for 'Modern European ' on Urbanspoon. Wine. Served from innovative machinery that ensures the wine is fresh. This means you can try a variety of wines by the glass safe in the knowledge that they won 't be oxidised, even if they were opened a couple of weeks ago. Because the selection of wine is very good, you might find yourself splashing out on a delicious Montrachet to start with before going onto a cheaper second glass of something from Spain or the New World. Since you 're buying good wine by the glass, you might then feel like indulging yourself on a Ch. Talbot, in a way that you wouldn 't if they only serv... Speisekarte ansehen
