• Classy, delicious, creative food

We ate twice at The Gate during our brief stay in London. For a late evening meal we chose the Summer Menu, and a day later we enjoyed lunch there too. Both times the food was exceptionally good. It is very creatively presented - which means that you are not quite sure how what you order is going to look when it arrives. What you can be sure of is, though, that it will look beautiful and taste amazing. Some people have said that the portions are small. They are not large - this is not 'belly-timber' food. The portions are, however, perfect. Each meal has clearly been developed to tantalise the tastebuds, excite the palate, and satisfy the appetite. The attention to flavours, colour, design and presentation is excellent . . . and creates a very fine dining experience indeed. In particular I found the desserts exceeded my expectations. For our dinner menu - we both enjoyed a Strawberry Tart - delicious. When we went for lunch, we had Eton Mess and the Cheesecake . . . both were gorgeous. If I lived in London, I would be heading to The Gate for every special celebration meal I could. Service was also to a high standard.
