Medlar
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Precise cooking in classy neighbourhood favourite."
Overview
A welcoming little restaurant in Chelsea's World’s End quarter, Medlar radiates a smart appearance yet relaxed, unpretentious ambience. Colourful modern art, antique mirrors, mint-green banquettes and beige upholstered chairs add to the neat setting, while a few pavement tables are highly prized when the sun’s shining. The precise modern European dishes are underpinned by classic French technique with well-defined and balanced flavours. Duck egg tart, turnip purée, lardons, sautéed duck heart and red wine sauce is a great opener, while roast Newlyn cod, mussels, Iberico winter tomatoes, gnocchi, monk’s beard, red gem lettuce and gremolata could appeal at mains.
