Indimenticabile - Edit
Cena fantastica allo Studio Gauthier!
Read moreAbbiamo provato il tasting menù: ben studiato, abbinamenti di ingredienti interessanti e sapori equilibrati.
Il dessert era superbo, sicuramente non è facile trovare una tale qualità in un ristorante vegano.
Atmosfera raffinata ma accogliente, mi è piaciuta molto la colonna sonora anni '80.
Super consigliato!

One of my favourites! - Edit
I'm a fan of all restaurants from Alexis Gauthier (123V, Gauthier Soho) but I've never tried Studio Gauthier because it opened just before I left London. I was there for a few days so I thought it would be a good occasion to try it - it didn't disappoint.
Read moreWe went for a selection of sushi that were all delicious. You can also go for unlimited sushi if you're really hungry (we didn't this time). The new decor is very nice too, it made me think of an afternoon tea type of place. Desserts are relatively small for the price but we were not really hungry anymore at that stage. We'll definitely go again next time we're in London!
Pros: Fully vegan, Amazing sushi, Relaxed atmosphere
Cons: Can be quite expensive

Flavoursome! - Edit
Ordered the Caviar & tortelloni.
Read moreTucked away venue - the ambience was very warm and welcoming. Music was kept low enough to still converse.
Food was very flavoursome! I was particularly impressed with the Tortelloni (earthy, cheesy, creamy)!
Pros: Ambience , Quiet , Friendly staff
Cons: No hooks by tables to hang items

100% recommend - new favorite - Edit
Great dish ideas, marvelous execution, fair prices (apart from the steak but the other options are great!), impeccable music playlist, the ambiance of the place is a lovely mix of chic-casual with nice book to have a peak at. Staff was super nice to us and made a little birthday chocolate writing for our friend on her plate.
Read morePeach tomatoes salad was a bit cheap on the peaches but still tasted great.
Pros: Brioche and Aubergine nibble, 3D printed soy steak (and the sauce!!), Peach and tomato salad
Cons: Not much peach in the salad, Steak is expensive

High end dining experience in London - Edit
We went to Studio Gauthier on a Saturday evening, having made a reservation through their website. The restaurant is in great central location for the West End. We sat on a lovely terrace, shaded on a hot sunny August evening. We each ordered the omakase sushi experience, which was amazing. There was a really nice variety of tastes and creative flavour combinations, and the chance to try vegan salmon and tuna style sushi. For dessert we shared an earl grey shortbread, which came with a vanilla cream and berry sorbet. The staff were lovely and the service was prompt. Absolutely cannot fault it. It was not cheap, but not very expensive for London prices either.

Good food, not so good ambience - Edit
The food was delicious but the setting/ambience was odd. We were seated in a comfortable booth but we were facing an empty room through a glass wall. Another business? It just made it not very cozy. Plus our backs were to the activity of the restaurant so we couldn't see wait staff unless we turned around 180 degrees, though they were attentive and pleasant.
Read moreDelicious peppers and hummus, and sushi, and a very good cocktail.

Interesting - Edit
Stumbled upon this place by accident but was pleasantly surprised.
Read moreI should probably add this as a disclaimer: I don’t know who Alexis Gauthier is and I don’t intend to find out.
With that out the way, I like the fusion aspect of their cuisine. It’s a fresh twist on things you know in a stylish, shabby chic and slightly minimalist interior.
We tried a lot of things and were not disappointed. Popping flavours, interesting combinations and on point presentation.
The slightly disappointing aspect for me personally was the size of the portions, granted the dishes aren’t very expensive so you can easily get two mains, but even that wouldn’t necessarily cut it for me.
Their menu isn’t huge, so if you’re a picky eater (which I am definitely not) you might have trouble finding something you like.
Overall definitely recommend.

Great addition to London scene - Edit
I’ve been here for dinner twice and lunch once. There’s a set fine dining menu and a more casual menu offering many of the things that were available at 123V in Fenwick (now closed down). The fine dining is, of course, nothing like Gauthier Soho itself but there are some very interesting and exquisite dishes. Reasonably priced too.
Read moreI would strongly recommend this place. My only suggestion for improvement: the place can lack atmosphere. I’m not an interior designer but the way the place is laid out, the design etc could be revisited to creat a bit more energy and vibrancy.

(More) casual fine dining - Edit
Food is similar to original Gauthier's, but the menu is shorter and there are menuless options. We had the menu and it was really good. Special mention to the scrumptious brioche!

Sublime - Edit
One of the best vegan meals I’ve eaten in any restaurant around the world.
Read moreNext-level flavours, textures and presentation, and really generously sized serves too (especially the salad) - no tiny plates with a single mouthful here.
The sushi (pictured, in part) was the standout but everything was incredible. We were totally stuffed and 100% satisfied by the end.

Run, don’t walk!! - Edit
This is the new location from their old store in Fenwicks and it absolutely does not disappoint. The staff are attentive and on it - we got the bottomless sushi and honestly they only kept offering more, even catering to very specific requests!
Read moreThe vibe of the place is great for cute dates and they’ve got cosy booths too for groups. The sushi itself is outstanding and I can only recommend going bottomless and trying as much as you can .
Pros: Range and quality of sushi , Price is reasonable , Attentive staff

Exquisite tasting menu - Edit
DELICIOUS! We tried the tasting menu (we took advantage of the 2 for 1 offer) and wow. Really worth it. The staff was friendly, especially Nolan.
Read moreWe were delighted to try brand new dishes, as well as some of our favourite sushi from 123V (Green dynamite!!) The vegan caviar was so so good, I also loved the brioche which came with the faux gras. I could go on and on about the positives, we will certainly be back.
Our only suggestions would be to have a menu of non-alcoholic drinks available, and to make sure that all staff is able to explain the ingredients of each dish. But we reckon some of the waiters are pretty new, so that makes sense.
All in all, highly recommended for vegans and meat eaters alike (they have 3D printed vegan meat!) #Veganuary
Pros: Tasting menu, Original ingredients, Classy and refined
Cons: Expensive, More non-alcoholic drinks needed, Better explanations of dishes

Studio Gauthier - Edit
Oooooh, this is a tough one for me, a 3 or 4? I rounded up because they are 100% vegan, but I am on the fence with the rating, really.
Read moreFood for Thought:
What are we expecting here? Are we expecting Gauthier at Studio Gauthier? It's important to keep in mind they are different restaurants and concept, with the former being more affordable and with accessibility to elevated cuisine and the latter being a Michelin star restaurant serving up vegan perfection.
There were positives:
The bill was drastically cheaper.
It was easier to get a reservation.
The food was still very creative.
But did I like everything and/or was I blown away? Not completely.
While the brioche was amazing...the server took away the bowl of veggies that came with it before we were finished, which was odd and very wasteful.
The Redefine Meat was overcooked and it tasted burned. I know Redefine Meat doesn't always taste like this, so someone made a mistake in the kitchen.
The potato dish was very tasty.
Everything else wasn't very memorable.
Will I be back? Not in the near term... But I may give them another shot once they are more established / have been open longer.
Based on the taste/quality of the brioche, I'll definitely be back to try the bakery!

Fantastic tasting menu - Edit
We visited here in august, shortly after the restaurant had opened and got an offer (sign up to newsletter and follow on social media) for 30% off (there was also a 241 offer) as part of their new opening. Booking was essential & particularly if you want a table in the courtyard area which most people seemed to want to do. The staff were very nice and the staff and vibe was relaxed, although service could do with a little finessing (they were still being trained up). We got a tasting menu each and got one of each of the mains options that came with it. The courses ranged from very good to excellent, with the faux gras and brioche being one of our favourites, along with the sushi and caviar. The 3d meat was a bit too realistic for my liking but still very good. They didn’t have any non alcoholic beers stocked at the time. We really liked the fun 80s soundtrack. It’s nice to have fancy vegan food in a relaxed atmosphere

Good, not great - Edit
Quite a mixed experience. The food was interesting and inventive, but maybe a bit gimmicky. We ordered 4 dishes and I would probably order 2 again. I ate at gaulthier Soho a few months ago which was amazing, but felt the studio didn't quite hit the mark. It could have been improved with really simple changes. The staff were really friendly but a bit ineffective. They took our dessert order, and brought the dessert over, before clearing away our mains. We had to actually ask them to take the plates from our mains away when the dessert arrived which was odd. We were never asked if the food was okay, even though we left half the dessert uneaten. The music was very 90s pop/ r&b heavy which I like, but it didn't match the table settings or ambience. I'm a big fan of gaulthier though, so would give it another go in a few months once they sort out some teething issues.

Amazing - Edit
Had a two for one deal on the tasting menu and what a wonderful experience it was. Every dish was tasty and well cooked. We thought that the appetisers of quiche Lorraine and garlic and lemon arancini couldn't be bettered. Maybe they weren't but everything that followed was just as good. The staff were friendly and very efficient.
Read morePros: The food. All of it., The staff, The ambience
Cons: Can't afford to go very often
