Kitchen Table

Kitchen Table is a restaurant located in London, England. It was opened in 2012 by husband and wife, James Knappett and Sandia Chang.[1] Along with the restaurant, they also opened a Champagne bar called Bubbledogs at the same site, but this was closed permanently due to the Covid-19 outbreak, with the old space being converted into a lounge for customers eating at Kitchen Table.[1][2]

Description

The restaurant is located in Charlotte Street, close to other Michelin-starred restaurants Pied à Terre and The Ninth. The cuisine style of the restaurant is largely Modern British, with occasional influences of other countries, like France and Italy. The restaurant serves only 1 daily-changing tasting menu (vegetarian option available) each day, priced at £250 per person, which is focused on the element of surprise as none of the customers know what dishes are going to be served until they see them. The menu is typically very long, with the number of courses sometimes reaching 20. A copy of that day's menu is given to each customer at the end of the meal. The restaurant is unique in the way service is done. After a few canapés in the lounge, for the main part of the experience, customers are led to a small, intimate dining room where everyone is seated at the same time at a U-shaped table, surrounding the kitchen, allowing full views of the chefs working and dishes being made. Customers will then return to the lounge for some petit fours, completing the experience. Each dish will be explained in detail by Knappett or another chef. The whole experience takes around 4 hours.

Reception

Kitchen Table was awarded its first Michelin star in the 2015 guide and its second for the 2019 guide and has retained it ever since.[3][2] The restaurant was also awarded Michelin's 'Welcome and Service Award' in 2018.
