7 Saints

A cosy restaurant with less than 10 tables serving a contemporary menu. The pasta dishes were quite enjoyable and so was the wine. The pig tartare felt a little too simple, although it was interesting to discover the pure taste of pork. Level of ingredients was above average and dishes were tasty but not amazing, often using similar combinations to other restaurants. Service was quite typical of such places, waiters were hospitable but lacked warmth a little bit. My rating: 4.1

I had an amazing experience at 7 saints during my time visiting London. Highly highly recommend. I have to say I tried another place which has a Michelin star later that week and 7 saints is wayyyyyyy better in my honest opinion. First the place is very well decorated and has a cozy ambiance with its limited seatings, the glassware and tableware feel fancy. The foccacia is heaven with the shallot butter, i could eat spoonful of it. I ordered the salmon mi cuit as a starter, it was done perfectly and I could tell the fish was high quality, it was paired with fresh flavors ; cucumber jelly and the sauce , well balanced and light. As a main I had the beef tongue following the waitress recommendation, I was intrigued and unsure looking at the menu but she sold it to me and it did not disappoint. The meat was super tender almost melting. Very pleased to have given it a try, i dont usually go for those type of cuts. It is serves with a side of mac and cheese with truffle on top, as comfort food as it gets , flavourful. I have to say it was quite heavy as a main so beware if you don’t have a big appetite it might be too much. Prices were really decent, the quality I got is hard to beat for what I paid. If I were a londoner, I would be a regular at this place :)

My hotel recommended this place, it was very cozy and the staff was friendly. I made a reservation online prior to arrival which is recommended based on the limited seating. I would recommend the bread, mackerel starter, and panna cotta dessert that is a play on strawberry shortcake. I enjoyed my Prosecco as well, refreshing drink for summer. My main was a bit disappointing, it was gnocchi and veggies. It was almost entirely peas when I was hoping for more variety and the asparagus that was included was uncooked which wasn’t enjoyable. I did like the gnocchi themselves though. Overall would recommend.

Delicious seasonal food, warm and friendly service. We went last weekend and were so impressed - this restaurant is a real gem! We didn’t get a pic, but if the whiskey and brown bread ice cream is on the menu - do it! The best thing is that the menu changes weekly, so we have a great excuse to go back!
