    We have had the pleasure of eating at Ffionas whenever we visit London. Ffiona and her staff are excellent, the restaurant is inviting, and the food is wonderful. This gem of a restaurant run by an amazing woman is a real find in London.

    A very quaint restaurant that serves good food. We were a little disappointed that the lovely vegan offerings we had seen online weren’t available (our mistake). I had the vegetarian breakfast which was great value for money and my friend had soup and avocado on toast which didn’t seem quite such good value although was delicious. We sat by the window and unfortunately the front door kept opening and delivering the occasional icy blast. Overall not as delighted as we were when we booked and saw the menus

    Thank you for leaving us a review Catherine - Very glad to read that although you found some things on your visit not as good as you hoped - we are delighted that you thought the food was delicious! We will make sure to share that feedback with our Chef too. We have noted what you said about the door too - the perils of a London Storm! Thank you and we wish you a super Christmas and a lovely 2025.

    A delightful experience. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious with great recommendations made by Fiona. The caught that morning Hebridean scallops were wonderful, as was the duck breast with apple and calvados. We certainly plan to return

    My first dinner at ffiona’s was probably 10 years ago and now a trip to London doesn’t feel complete without a visit. Last night she didn’t disappoint with every dish being fresh, made using ingredients from nearby suppliers. Very memorable were the fresh sea scallops from the Shetland islands that were buttery and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Thanks to ffiona and her fantastic team for a great experience. Highly recommended!

    Oh Ann, thank you so much for all those kind words - how is it ten years! It was so lovely to meet your guests also. We will all look forward to seeing you in 2025 Ff xx

    Beautiful cosy restaurant, with wholesome food. Food and service was excellent! Tasty with great portions too. Value for money is brilliant. It is tucked away from the busy High St Kensington, and a great place for a lunch or dinner with friends, family or date night. You are served and welcomed by Fiona, the owner herself who is so passionate about every customer that walks in, providing the most exceptional customer service. Extreamly pleased with taking a big group of colleagues for our Christmas dinner here! :) Best wishes, and hope to see Ffiona’s success continue! Lots of love, N x

    I’ve been going to Ffiona’s for years and there’s a reason for that. You cannot go wrong at Ffiona’s. The food is always great. Watch. Quickly, you realize everyone working there cares about you having an excellent experience. No one cares more about pleasing her customers than Ffiona, herself, from the moment you walk in the door. Listen. You’ll quickly learn how many people are return customers from all over the world. There’s a reason it’s been voted the Best restaurant in Kensington!
