Situated on the High Street of Eton, close to the River Thames and between the historic buildings of Eton College and Windsor Castle, Gilbey's is open from 12 noon for lunch and 6pm for dinner every day.
Originally an old butcher's shop, we created one of the first wine bars outside London in 1975 - The Eton Wine Bar. After 25 years of success, we changed the name in 2000 to Gilbey's, having recognised that our food had outgrown the original wine bar concept. Our friendly and efficient team look forward to welcoming you in either the stunning Conservatory Restaurant, cosy Front Bar and Townhouse, one of our newly opened Townhouse guest bedrooms or our top floor studio apartment-our exclusive guest accommodation.

    We booked for Sunday lunch which was based upon a fixed price menu for 2 or 3 courses. I prefer a meat free selection and my husband eats anything whilst my husbands’ shepherds pie was excellent, my vegetarian main course would barely pass as starter. There was almost no mozzarella in the croquettes so it was mainly potato which was ordinary on a well flavoured provencale style sauce. In summary the vegetarian option (only 1 on the menu) did not represent value for money. Lovely ambience, attentive staff let down by poor selection for the every growing need to invest in tasty and nutritionally balanced vegetarian/ vegan tastes.

    Very disappointing and not up to standard of previous visits. Problem with chef? Onion in soup not properly cooked and risotto vegetables not fully incorporated in stock. Very sloppy.Chips not crisped.!. Haddock nt cod as on menu dry and not hot. Service not very attentive. All in all expensive for what we had. Regrettably will not be back to an old faviourite restaurant.

    Table for two we were given was a service way as well as subject to cold every time a guest arrived to the restaurant. We asked to be re seated. The room we sat in was warm but soulless. The food was nice but the plates were not hot so food was not at its best temperature We stayed the night in a very lovely room that was well appointed and warm. Bed was comfortable but pillows were thin and not at all comfortable. The breakfast was advertised to be cooked when I booked on line however on arrival we were informed it was continental. When I tried to have breakfast there was no bread to toast and the room and had been set up the night before so pastries were old and un appealing. Very disappointing. The townhouse is in a great location and parking was an easy walk.

    Prices have increased dramatically. Food not worth £33.50 for a main course (without sides).
