Marianne Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Why is this on the site ? We went a few times to this lovely, tiny restaurant with excellent food, some of the best we’ve had in London, Sadly now closed ???

A real shame as this was a real beauty of a restaurant. I really enjoyed Marianne's dishes and genuinely wish her the best in future. Hopefully a brave and exciting operator will take the site over.

marianne is the best. after watching marianne on great british menu i simply knew i had to visit! great!!!

Wow! now why did I not come here earlier?

Mooi klein en intiem restaurant. Prachtige gerechten gecombineerd met heerlijke bijpassende wijnen. Heerlijk gegeten.

Mi marido y yo tuvimos una de nuestras comidas más encantadores y deliciosos aquí la semana pasada. El espacio es pequeño, íntimo y encantador y nuestra camareros muy atentos y cariñosos. El menú de degustación es exquisito y sorprendente. Hicimos el vino al igual que bien merecía la pena. Nos relajamos, tomamos nuestro tiempo y disfrutamos de una noche maravillosa. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar muy especial.

Tuve la suerte de cenar aquí recientemente y fue totalmente desbordados. Habiendo seguido Marianne por un rato, yo estaba muy emocionado de estar comiendo en su diminuto (pero perfectamente formado del restaurante). La calidez de nuestra anfitriona y todo el equipo realmente la imagen para lo que iba a ser una noche memorable.

Marianne er et ganske lille restaurant med meget få pladser. Til gengæld er den denne perle helt sikkert et besøg værd

Mi pareja me trajo aquí para San Valentín y yo también estaba muy embarazada. Estábamos encantados con ella, pero eso no era lo que esperábamos. El menú era muy pequeño y no una gran cantidad de opciones, la habitación es tan pequeña que es casi claustrofóbico!

Lo bueno de ir a un lugar donde sólo hay un descanso y no hay prisa para dejar la

Tuve mucha suerte mi marido reservó este encantador restaurante poco para celebrar un aniversario. Es pequeño e íntimo, y como diría el otro ambiente es impulsado por las demás personas allí siendo tan pequeño.

Come with for dinner with friends. The dining experience is Sensational! Absolutely love the Dover sole, langoustines and morel in their spring menu.

Me encanta la zona de Notting Hill, siempre sitios para comer, de las artes, la gente un poco excéntrico y fantásticas cafeterías.

This place is a complete and utter rip off of the highest order!

My experience at Marianne's restaurant was very memorable, it was the highlight of my trip to London to meet a friend and lunch together. I was able to enjoy my absolute favourite and I now know, one of the specialities of this delightful restaurant, a cheese soufflé, it was superb. The food was beautifully prepared, well balanced and went well with a great bottle of Rose, sadly I can't remember the name of it, I kept it on a bit of paper but as ever it was a moment in time, now passed but I hope to relive it again as soon as I can. All this is packed into a petit space, although there are only 14 covers, I think its 14, there still seems to be enough space to feel private at one's table. I work in a small office and so understand that it is sometimes a challenge but here it is carried off well. Marianne's is an intimate affair and in my view all the more charming for that!

I’ve recently enjoyed my 6th visit to Marianne - and it never fails to delight! As always the menu was imaginative and delicious, the wine very more-ish. The amuse bouche set the tone of the incredible taste sensations to come, but my sweet tooth has to report that the soufflé was the crowning glory. Unbelievably scrumptious! The service is second to none and you always feel you’ve had a real treat on a very special occasion. The atmosphere is so relaxed, but rarified. You just know you’re going to have the most wonderful time. The icing on the cake is seeing Marianne, who will always take the time to chat to her diners, making us feel extra special.

Primero intenté Marianne en 2015, y he vuelto 3 veces desde entonces. Con Marianne al frente de la cocina, tuvimos platos que trabajaba en tal armonía que nos dijeron amigos y familiares que Este era nuestro favorito encontrar en Londres.

Un pequeño restaurante, con una cocina pequeña, pero todo lo demás es enorme! Un camarero muy bien informado y emociona acerca de los platos y vinos (es un menú degustación de 5 o 6 platos - limitada al cliente: pero las opciones brillante ya realizados por el chef) con algo de aire profesoral- te sientes informado pero no bien administrado. La comida es deliciosa, incluso comimos mi primera cebolla elegido en 78 años (fobia infancia nunca antes superar! ). Marianne y su chef compañeros (nos dejaron entrar en la cocina después de la comida) son fanáticos de la comida, pero no están utilizando los clientes como un laboratorio - todo funciona. Espere pagar alrededor de £300 por dos (con una copa de vino cuidadosamente elegido con cada curso. Y sin duda no es un lugar para traer a un adolescente hambriento. Pero cosas de comer y beber, sirve muy bien.

Da es immer ausgebucht ist mit seinen 12 Plötzen, sollte man früh buchen. Man wählt zwischen 5 und 6 Gängen, das Menü des Abends ist vorgegeben, Abweichungen sind nur in einem sehr geringen Umfang möglich. Es ist eine Celebration des Essens, mit Sattwerden hat das weniger zu tun. Das Essen ist für das Auge und für das ankosten von köstlichen Speisen. Da es sehr klein ist, hat das Lokal einen sehr persönlichen Charakter, fast wie im eigenen Wohnzimmer. Der Preis für das Menue ist in einer Region, wo man, auch wenn man sonst nicht zimperlich ist, schlucken muss.

Cenamos en el restaurante marianne's en Londres. Llegamos a este restaurante con altas expectativas pero dejó bastante decepcionado con la experiencia. Uno de nuestros amigos tiene cenamos aquí antes y me pareció que la comida era buena. La comida que tomamos aquí realmente no era tan buena, ciertamente no de acuerdo a los comentarios favorables. La comida me pareció que tenía aquí para estar bajo arqueadas, seca y un poco sosa para mi gusto. Más aderezos le habría dado mucho necesitábamos sabores. Los otros consideraban su comida estaba bien, no es el mejor que he probado, pero sólo estaba bien, que no es genial para un restaurante bastante alto en las listas en Londres. El servicio estaba bien, nada especial. En general una visita muy decepcionante a este restaurante.

Nosotros, como familia, hacer un montón de Michelin. Cuando nos son muy excitado y quiere tomar fotos y les insta. Esperamos estar impresionado con sabores, servidos y presentación. Por desgracia, esta fue una decepción en todos los ámbitos. Soy goloso para dar una crítica negativa con una estrella Michelin, todos los demás han sido más que excelente. No recomendaría este lugar a cualquiera.

The food is really tasty, but not really enjoy the staff. However thank you guys for tasty food any drinks!

Tal vez porque es tan pequeño - 14 cubre, y porque Marianne y su equipo diminuto en este pequeñísimo espacio crear tales maravillas que es una alegría para visitar. (siempre te lo puedes permitir, sin espacio para los precios de volumen son altos. No hay opción excepto elección) de marianne pero eso es siempre interesante y si su pasión por los soufflés no hay partidos suya un mejor lugar para comer en Londres.

At de vet hva de holder på med her er hevet over enhver tvil. Veldig god mat, super profesjonell servitør og sommelier, og koselig stemning.

Сейчаc в реcторане хорошая русская кухня, за торт для именинника который мы заказали в специальной кондитерской попросили заплатить еще раз не смотря на то что была оплачена приличная сумма за банкет. Я считаю это обираловкой!

Llevé a mi esposa como regalo de cumpleaños en el 31 de la calle. Vivimos en la zona y no había oído hablar de esto hasta que leí una crítica. Nos quedamos muy decepcionados y pensé que era increíblemente caro para lo que era. Menú de degustación y vinos no está a la altura de la factura y me pareció que la factura final, ridículo. Nunca suelo escribir comentarios, pero me molesto lo suficiente para hacerlo esta vez.

A wonderful evenings dining experience at Marianne. A lovely little place, incredible food and wonderful service. Ok, it isn’t the cheapest place to dine at, but you get what you pay for, and that’s from a Yorkshire man! Perfect restaurant for that special/romantic evening. Highly recommend.

We went for lunch. Had the most amazing food, you could see them preparing it. The service was without fault and very friendly. Definitely going back.

Habíamos intentado hace unos meses en otra escapada a Londres cenar en Marianne pero no fue posible. Ahora ya sabemos qué pasó: solo tiene siete mesas.

El estilo de lujo del interior es muy elegante y la comida es absolutamente excelente. Es un restaurante muy famoso en Londres y totalmente merece su excelente reputación.

We had a delightful evening on Friday, thank you. We come to your restaurant for the very special and most delicious food, great service and ambiance which is always of the highest standard. We will always come back

a proper place- vey professional front of house, small intimate and evident that the team here really care about your enjoyment. Lunch for 2, champagne to start, a glass or two of wine, £230 service inc- great value for this quality

This is a wonderful little restaurant. Very stylish and understated luxury interior. It discretly ouses appeal. Quite intimate with under 20 covers, it would ideal for a private lunch or dinner party for a significant birthday or anniversary. - costs would make It prohibitive for any other, for most people! Talking of pricing, its rather high, even in the famed Notting Hill area. Tasting menus with numerous courses but tiny portions. Dishes is expertly and creatively put together but most courses are 'just a taste'. Service was very good and staff were customer focused but the ratio of staff to customer is the highest I have ever known In the hospitality industry and must come at a price too. Look at a spend of around £200 pp. It is a wonderful dining experience but with a restaurant so bijoux, your experience is very much determined by who else is dining there.

We went to Marianne for lunch and thought it extremely good. However I will start on the few negatives as I want to end on a high. We chose the lunch tasting menu which was good but we were surprised as I felt it was a little imbalanced as no meat course was offered. We were told we could change to something from the expensive deluxe menu and substituted the fish for the meat the Muntjac. However this carried a supplement of £15. That wasn’t the issue but the portion served was ridiculous for the money - I could only describe the portion as 4 shavings of deer, absolutely minute albeit delicious. The wines are also fairly expensive. However now onto the main review. The food served was delicious, the service especially by Barratt was amazing, attentive but unobtrusive. The restaurant is cute with 6 small tables and is lovely and intimate. The kitchen ( which we went into) was small with a fair few chefs but it was so clean and they worked meticulously. Marianne was not there. Everything served was tasty but the outstanding dish for me was the soufflé which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend a visit but please offer a better portion of meat.

Having read good reviews on here and seen Marianne on TV we were so excited to book for our 'fine dining experience'. We booked the taster menu as this was our only option for the evening booking, at £95 per head. Having eaten tater menu's in many restaurants, all over the world, we were happy to be presented with an array of tasty interesting dishes.

I was at the receiving end of hospitality at Marianne. A pretty reserved place with very sophisticated environment. Was here for a business lunch and was served with lobsters, probably a signature dish of here(most people were having it). Has just a dozen seats, so plan well in advance. prices are ridiculous, and maybe need some rework there. Expect a bill of upto 12000 INR per head for a lunch.

Had a superb Sunday lunch, the menu has some great classic combinations, well executed. The restaurant is small and intimate, with excellent front of house service. Get there before the crowds.

Marianne is really a nice, cosy small restaurant - only 14 seats. Service is excellent and the pace of the various courses is perfect. The food has highs and lows: most dishes were very good but we found our mains not adequate to the ambition of a restaurant that charges over 125£ a person. Especially the mullet, but also the lobster with white truffle - both left us underwhelmed. Soufflé is really good.

Wonderful food & wonderful service. Marianne is a genius and I can't recommend highly enough. You won't be disappointed.

This restaurant was a perfect venue for 15 of us to celebrate an important birthday. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and although some of our group were a little late due to transport issues, this was not a problem. As the restaurant only accommodates 15, we were the only diners. All of the food was beautifully presented and delicious, with some quite unusual flavours used, including truffles. Two of us are vegetarian and we were impressed with the way we were catered for, with equally interesting and tasty food as the others had. Definitely to be recommended for a special occasion.

Since it is a very small restaurant, one needs to book long time in advance because more and more People know now that this is absolutely one of THE best restaurants in Europe, Excellent service, all dishes (one has to order one of two 6-courses menus at dinner) are beautiful presented and very tasty. The vine package is well chosen. A dinner here is of course not cheap, but the value is really great for the extremely high quality one gets in every way here!

This restaurant is tiny - 12 guests & each table was taken. Maximum 14-15 people!!Individual service & great attention to detail. The tasting plate was exquisite & the matching wines superb. The staff werecexcellent.It is not cheap but worth a visit.

Have been wanting to try this for a couple of years.We were not at all disappointed.We chose the less expensive set menu and opted for the less expensive wine matching Sommeliers recommendations.Perfect attentive service and very interesting talking to the Sommelier who really knows his stuff. (As you would expect!)Some of the wines he chose were a real surprise, Croatian, Czech, Madeira, Italian and French.There was not anything that could have been better and hope we can return sometime soonIf you found this review helpful I would very much appreciate a helpful vote.

My wife and I have just had the most superb lunch in Marianne. We both had the tasting menu and I rarely hear such screams of delight from my wife ( at least in a restaurant).Had the wine flight which complemented the food beautifully.Wake up Michelin.

Very good performance in terms of food and service. I was surprised by reasonable value and in general am glad I went there.

We went to marianne,s for a meal with friends who where staying with us. I haven't been here for quite a while. But I'm glad to say the food & service as always was top draw. We all had the tasting menu & it never let us down. If your looking for great place to have a intimate meal of the highest order. Then check out Marianne in Notting Hill.

Food and service exceptional. Definitely a must in London. Review based upon 4 travelers who have dined at the finest in Europe and in the United States.

Took my partner for his birthday and he has said it was one of the best dinner experiences ever! I guess depending on your budget it isn't somewhere I would go for a 'normal' meal and it is more than just dinner. The whole night was a real experience, from the amazing service, food, uniqness of the restaurant (its tiny!) to the unique wine pairings which were amazing (partner had red wine with his fish which matched perfectly). We literally couldn't fault the whole night

Very nice meal .service was good , all very goodHighly recommended. we will come back for sure.looking forward to eat again.

A flawless experience. A birthday dinner for four. Everything was brilliant. Food, service, ambience: all 10/10. We had the deluxe meat tasting menu with wines. Very good indeed. The sommelier is the best I have encountered anywhere, and he really added to the whole experience. Lots of interesting, brace, successful choices. It is very, very expensive. But then, some of the best things in life don't come for free. And this place, this dinner, was absolutely worth it.

From the surprising truffled popcorn, through the tastebud enlivening pumpkin soup with duck egg and bacon (don't miss it), the spectacular tricolour thick foam, to the delightful petit fours our meal was pure pleasure, enlivened by a wonderful sommelier and his wine selection which had us wandering from Eastern Europe to the far west through the most eclectic of smaller vineyards. Costly but not expensive for the scale of the experience. Our meal was beautifully paced, but took 3 hours which seemed to flash by. The chefs have created a wonder here and don't be tricked into thinking you will get what is on the webpage, the innovation seems to go on. This was our 28th anniversary and we would strongly recommend this as a place for culinary celebration. There are only 14 seats and so advanced booking is important, but we got a late cancellation the weekend before and the email exchange was really helpful and quick. Fantastic.

Such a lovely hidden haven and if you can find it go and you become a regular as this have the most amazing food, we love it here

A tiny restaurant that offers the choice of three x6 course tasting menus priced at £95 to £130. Very warm ambience and food really was clever and sublime. Perhaps a good measure is that the chef Tom Aitken was dining there. Special occasion? Look no further.

Ein hervorragendes Restaurant mit tollem Kellner ( spricht auch italienisch und zwei drei Worte deutsch )Super Qualität und Service top.Sehr schöne Ideen und Kreativität findet man vor....

We had a very memorable six course tasting menu with wine pairings All were delicious. The service was first rate, notably from Roberto, the talented sommelier. The Macadamia nut soufflé was fantastic. Expensive but completely worth it.

With just fourteen seats and a single seating, they are doing something special. The food is creative and just delicious. I enjoyed the wine pairing and could not be happier I did, Perfectly matched. A Very Special Evening!!!!

This tiny restaurant has 6 tables and can maybe seat 18. 12 were there the night we had a fabulous tasting menu. Multiple small courses all showed inspiration and talent. The dessert was a spectacular macadamia soufflé; wow!! We bought a nice bottle of wine but they also had pairing possibilities of wines for each course. This place has Michelin star quality. Simply wonderful. Forget your budget.

Wonderful experience - very pricey but the food was incredible. Each morsel was unique and full of flavor. The service was also outstanding - they seemed to anticipate our every need. The restaurant is tiny - only 6 tables for 2, but it was an intimate experience. Limited menu but each morsel was remarkable. I have only tasted food like this once or twice before - I loved everything I tasted.

We headed for Marianne after a morning of shopping on Portobello Road with a lot of bags and a bit exausted. And hungry for lunch of course. The restaurant is small but perfectly decorated.and quite relaxing We ordered the lunch menu. With our champagne we had truffled popcorn. What an experience! I did not have popcorn for the last 50 years but would eat this again anytime! Lunch was an equally great experience. And the bread! We eat a lot of bread when in France as they do it so well. But this bread was outstandig. Wish I could have a slice right now... Anyway we would love to come again for dinner when in London. It is quite expensive and as we had another pudding than in the lunch menu mentioned - the waiter recommended it and I did not realize that it would be an extra charge (must be my English) - our lunch bill was on the hefty side. But it was worth it.

So profesional service. Good food and nice ambient. Deserve 5 stars rating. Come back for shure. And good deserts .

Do your homework before you book. It is a small room (18 seats) and your only choice will be from three tasting menus. You can mix and match from Veggie and meat. I would recommend this restaurant because the meal was outstanding. Seasonal ingredients and very accomplished cooking. In particular, the beef really was "melt in the mouth". Of course, the cost is quite high - particularly the wines, which all have a higher-than-normal mark up. I would return - but it's a place for a special occasion, not once a week.

푸드가격이 좀쎄요 와인까지 곁들이면 두당 60~70 하지만 비주얼 데코레이션 맛까지~좋아요.분위기도 좋고~ 직원들 너무 친절해요~

Lovely place and fab food will be back when next in London great food and service friends really enjoyed!!!

I cannot describe how delicious the food was! Fantastic place! Many various dishes for vegetarians.The service is great. Polite waiters and sommeliers. It was a pleasure to have dinners in the restaurant. Thank you!

I booked a table at this restaurant ten weeks in advance so we arrived with eager anticipation. This is a very small intimate restaurant with friendly staff serving seriously good food. It is definitely what I would call a destination restaurant. The highlights were the truffle linguine the lamb and the souffle. The mini toasted cheese " sandwiches" were melt in the mouth delicious. We ordered the luxury wine pairing option which was also faultless and very well presented in a friendly unhurried manner by the waiter.Not cheap but this experience definitely matched our expectations. .

We booked our table in this restaurant based on all the positive reviews and media coverage it has received. It is a small/intimate setting, where two very helpful waiters are willing to give you a nice evening. This is no rocket science; with only 12 guests in the restaurant it should be easy to give you enough attention. We had two different menu's, a deluxe and a tasting menu, accompanied by a wine arrangement. The first three courses where served within the first 50 minutes and we had to ask to bring down the tempo. The amuse was a "cappuccino" (foam) of tomato with cheese. An amuse should wake the taste buds, but this wasn't the case. It was very flat of taste, no sweet/sour/crunch or what so ever. And in fact that was the trend for all the other courses of the evening too. Don't expect anything exiting or rare for your taste buds. Ok, the first course was a very well prepared and tasteful truffle pasta, but is it really hard to prepare a simple truffle pasta? The two main courses, fish & lamb, both were accompanied by the same carrot cream, or at least the creams had the same texture and caramel taste. While foam and green dressing were a recurring ingredient during the evening too. The joke of the evening was the grilled cheese sandwich. I think it has been the most expensive grilled cheese sandwich I ever had and it was nothing more than that, just a cheddar cheese sandwich. For a 5th course not the lightest dish of the evening too. A compliment for the wine arrangement and the wine knowledge of the waiter though. All spice/wine combinations were spot on and not the most obvious choices. All dishes were well prepared, but could have been made at home too. We were not a single moment blown away by the meal/preparations and ingredients. Unfortunately the bill had this effect on us. The price/quality ratio is ridiculous and overpriced. If you want to spent £500 on an exiting evening, I would suggest to book a 1* or 2** Michelin restaurant in London. If you don't like challenges and just want a mediocre evening in an intimate setting, this could be the restaurant for you.

Ci siamo trovati per caso in questo magnifico ristorante e devo ammettere che mi son trovato davvero bene..la qualità del cibo è indiscutibile e la location è davvero carina..sicuramente ci rivedremo.

Not at all cheap but worth every penny. The food was all outstanding. I elected to swap an artichoke dish for some truffle linguine. When the artichoke arrived I was dismayed, but they apologised, told me to try the artichoke while I waited for my linguine. Both were wonderful. Bonus!The pace of the meal is slow so expect to spend hours there. But at no point were you left waiting. The pace was perfect. Watching the kitchen team working through the narrow window was fascinating. Such focus and concentration. Lovely quiet atmosphere (there's only 14 covers so it should be quiet) and highly attentive service. We still love Five Fields and Gastronhome, but now have another option for that special occasion.

This restaurant is truly amazing. It is tiny with a calm understated atmosphere and serves the most exquisite food. Exceptionally put together and with wonderful flavour. There are three menus from which to select - no a la carte. However, you do not regret this. The size of the portions is restrained and this allows you to enjoy each course without feeling as if you are eating too much. There are wonderful wine pairings, taking you to places you would never think to go to sample wine and all the pairings work perfectly with the food. I would go again and again!

Wow , this felt like dinner in your living room but all the style and panache of a Michelin Starred experience, The intimacy of the surroundings led to a superb dining experience build by a great combination of food and service. Loved the fact you could mix and match from the different menus and the Sommelier had real class and didn't try and upsell you at every moment. Hard to pick out the highlights as everything was top drawer, never been a fan of foam ( sort of ok in the bath but not on your dinner plate) but the celeriac foam was the best I have ever tasted . Beef main was outstanding and puds stunning. Long wait to get a booking here but definitely worth it when your time comes ... worth every penny ... as its not cheap

I had heard about this restaurant from an Australian food critic. I went with a friend of mine for lunch before going to see Phil Collins at Hyde Park. The room itself is small with seating for a total of 14 so it is an intimate setting. The service was impeccable not obsequious or fawning but just right. We went for the five course tasting menu we were given a bowl of truffle flavoured popcorn which was delicious particularly with a glass of chilled Manzanilla. We chose Stellenbosch as the wine for our other courses.Each that came up was like a mini work of art the cured salmon was particularly good as was the charolais beef .It finished with a plate of petit fours which were exquisite.At the end of the meal we were introduced to Marianne Lumb which was very interesting .All in all a fantastic experience which I look forward to repeating .

This was our second time around and the food was even better. Incredibly delicious and well seasoned. The absolute best souffle i have ever eaten, pure heaven. The celeriac sauce was heavenly. Shared with a lovely Pinot Noir. Exceptional evening.

I found out about this restaurant through the very positive reviews on Trip Advisor. My wife and I are very familiar with fine dining and the price point that comes along with it, so this in itself is not an issue. From a food value perspective, we really felt that the gastronomic experience was below our expectations from quality perspective and the sequence of the menu, we also felt that there was an element of overdoing it for some of the dishes which did not make it up for less than excellent ingredients and lack of imagination. The souffle was the outstanding item but you will have to wait for desert for that. Bottom line, London's fine dining scene has much better offerings at comparable price point. I do not write a lot of reviews but the more I read about positive reviews for this restaurant the more I felt that it was important for me to provide this perspective.

We thought long and hard about where we should go for our anniversary. We wanted great food in an intimate atmosphere. This restaurant ticked these boxes. It isn't cheap but they have to keep a restaurant going with only fourteen covers and the service is impeccable, friendly and never intrusive. The tasting menu was a well balanced meal. A question. Turbot seems to be flavourless. It was rescued here by a fine sauce. This fish was poached in celeriac with fennel and a black quinoa beurre noisette. Could it be that farmed turbot has taken over from wild fish which had more flavour? Charolais beef was braised in tamarin and spices, it was special. We had a soufflé of macadamia nuts, honeymoon melon sorbet and raspberry purée.They offer matching wine. We settled for a glass of amazing Turkish white and an equally good red from Portugal. Even without Marianne in the kitchen this was a memorable meal. They even decorated our petit fours plate with the words happy anniversary. Nothing is too much trouble.

Tiny premises but comfortable and a set price delicious menu was served. Superb cooking and presentation.

This is a small and intimate restaurant that serves only tasting menus. The food is quite exceptional and the courses very well selected to offer a wonderful range of tastes and flavours. The service is first class and the tables are not 'turned' so time is not important. There is a vegetarian tasting menu on offer, which my daughter appreciated and which was equally good.

Don't think I need to write a lot about this place. Went there for a evening meal and it was simply excellent. Despite I think it is pricey you don't regret paying when the food is so good. Lovely charming staff but it is all about food. Loved it!!

The booking process was wonderful thanks Claire and then from the greeting at the door to the petit fours there was total perfection.The staff and food made you feel very special and the wine list was wonderful. An excellent pairing between the manager and the kitchen and the drum beat service was best in class. The food was exceptional and one of the best menus I have tasted in the last year.Well done everyone for making two ladies birthdays so memorable ....

Small gem (just 6 tables) with great food and a good wine list. Very friendly service which is not intrusive. Slightly on the expensive side but understandable given the size of the restaurant.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Marianne. It is a small restaurant with only a few tables. That means you have to make a booking ahead of time. But it is worthwhile. The dinner, a tasting menu with 6 courses at 85 pounds, was extraordinary. The Souffle of grue de cacao was the best souffle I had ever had. And ice-cream is home-made, with Pacojet. What else can you wish for?

En una ciudad de mucha option de comida este lugar pequeno y acogedor es excelente por su servicio y comida. Recomendado

This restaurant should be on a list of every foodie. The food and presentation here are fantastic.We were here for a Sunday dinner, the dining room is not huge, but there was one vacant table still ( just to let you know that maybe Sundays are less busy , so you might still try to book a table on a short notice). Marianne herself was not there, but that does not mean that the food was not top notch, as it definitely was. Starters, amuse Bouche, main, dessert, wine ... everything was fantastic. Especially cheese and soufflé....Definitely enjoyed it and will try to get back. Would definitely recommend it!

You would never know what a treat you were in for from the outside of this unassuming restaurant in a residential street. Once through the doors of this 14 seat shop front, nothing is too much trouble for the knowledgeable waiters or the chefs. We were even able to modify the fixed menus to suit ourselves and there is a vegetarian tasting menu for those who want this. The different "fixed" menus can be mixed too. Each course looks small, but is beautifully presented and each subtle flavour adds up to a delicious whole. Saucing is carefully balanced and complements rather than drowns the food. By the end of the meal, you will be full up as the style is definitely not just "art on a plate". Since every dish and amuse bouche offers a different experience, you are given sufficient time to enjoy them and service is unobtrusive and attentive. Wines are available by the glass, bottle or as part of a pairing with the food, and are at the top of anyone's price range. As you would expect for a restaurant of this calibre, the meal is expensive but worth it, especially if you have something to celebrate. Booking ahead is essential.

A business colleague took me here to discuss some business but also for us to catch up as we had not seen each other for a while.This restaurant was an ideal choice - only has small amount of covers, & is set in a nice cosy building, (almost looks like a shop), and was a nice place to deal with the business but also be able to relax and discover what each other has been doing over the past few years.Service was very good, just enough attention to look after you, but not overbearing as I have experienced in some places. I think they knew we had things to talk about.Food was very good, well presented & great tastes. Accompanying wine, as recommended by the staff, was excellent.Now I know Marianne is here, I will be returning with my partner.

A Book Dealer, took me here once. It was likeDining in someone's home. Really IntimateWe discussed books. I brought up WinnieThe Pooh which originally was published in Latin. My Dad read it to me every night at the age of 4. It was our special time together. We bonded. My Dad was a very Busy man with no patience, but he had a great sense of humor and Winnie the PoohWas the funniest book ever written in English and probably the most sophisticated book ever done in the 20thCentury. The illustrations can't be beat.I love the United Kingdom because of it!The Royal Literary Fund, whom I hold in high esteem,published this book in 1958, four years after I was born.Notting Hill is An area of London that was even nicer before it was renovated and got expensive.Worth having dinner here,marvelous place

The restaurant is excellent in my opinion. Food is surely, but I was pleasantly surprised by the service. They staff were so friendly and cheerful, loved it. :)

Went for a business meeting and did not disappoint me. The flavours were exceptional, The food was superb and the staff was excellent.

We celebrated my partner's birthday here one Saturday lunch. The restaurant has only 14 covers - one table of 6, one of 4 and 2 couples - and whilst the tables are well spaced out it does really feel like a private intimate dining experience. The reservation process was very straightforward with excellent communication by email. The dining room resembles a discrete store front decorated in pastel colours with curtains occluding the lower windows and entrance door with soft lighting and relaxing background music. It was great to have a view through the small shallow window and across the narrow pass into the compact kitchen. Marianne was present throughout service leading her brigade with her customary calm efficiency. We enjoyed the deluxe tasting menu with the sommelier led wine flight. Each and every dish was outstanding - executed to perfection, stunning presentation with a depth and balance of flavours. Our favourites included the Scottish langoustines with white asparagus and the loin and shoulder of Rhug estate lamb with broad beans, peas, morels and mint oil. The lamb was accompanied by a tiny copper saucepan containing a mini shepherd's pie made from the shoulder which was delicious. Overall all of the dishes represent quiet, good food taste made from premium ingredients. The tasting menu was a truly lavish meal - rich and indulgent whilst leaving us pleasantly satisfied. The service throughout provided by 2 Maitre d' was super efficient, convivial and friendly whilst extremely professional. The introduction to each wine was extremely comprehensive and delivered with such knowledge and depth of information that it felt as though you were at a tutored wine tasting. We took up the invitation to meet the kitchen brigade at the end of the meal and found it difficult to find enough superlatives to describe and compliment them on what was such an amazing tasting menu. Thank you Marianne for an outstanding experience and for making my partner's birthday so special - we will undoubtedly be back!

Kleine sfeervolle zaak waar je vanaf binnenkomst in de watten wordt gelegd. Wij namen het tasting menu met bijpassend wijnarrangement. Van het begin tot het einde worden de smaakpupillen op de proef gesteld. Het eten met de bijpassende wijnen zijn van hoog nivo. Kost wat, maar je hebt ook wat. Wij waren met twee personen 425,00 pound armer , dus met een kleine portemonnaie moet je dit restaurant helaas overslaan.

The restaurant is tiny with only about 14 covers so it is intimate and feels almost like you are at a dinner party in someones house. The food is top notch quality and the wines are also extremely good. It is not cheap by you get what you pay for and it s a real experience!

Experiencia sin duda maravillosaFuimos gracias a TripAdvisor y no nos defraudó en absolutoRestaurante pequeñito pero con una calidad sobresalienteAtención de 10 Local agradableY la comida verdaderamente muy muy ricaEn definitiva si tenéis para gastar más de 100 libras por cabeza sin duda es el sitio idóneo

Me and my wife had the weekend in London and booked a lunch seating at Marianne after seeing the other positive reviews at TripAdvisor.We had the 5 course vegetable menu mixed with some seafood courses. We also did the wine pairing that came with the menu.All the dishes looked and tasted amazing and the wine pairings were some of the best I've experienced. They hit a floral note with one of the wines that just perfectly matched the taste of the dish.The restaurant can only seat 12 people so the experience here is very intimate. This could maybe be both a pro and a con but at our seating we only had 3 other people doing lunch so we had more than enough space for ourselves.I would really recommend taking a lunch here on a romantic weekend in London. Walk through Notting Hill, stop at a pub for a drink and then lunch at Marianne... Can't be more movie esque than that. Superb food, great wine pairing and excellent service.

Overall a really good experience but with a few flaws than could easily be ironed out. Firstly, virtually no choice of non alcoholic drinks, no fruit juice which seems rather bizarre. Choice was tonic, lemonade , coke. Second ..... PUT THE HEATING ON. I was so cold that in the end all I could think about was sitting on the heated seats in my car. How odd, all that work and attention to detail and it feels like you are sitting outside. Service ------ really good front of house Menus...... dont think deluxe is worth paying extra foreFood..... some fantastic courses esp souffle and fish but scallop dish was taste less and the cheese sandwich on deluxe menu ridiculously big, could come come from a builder's lunch box, what were they thinking? Would definitely recommend to friends who live nearby but only on barmy evenings

We had this planned for a couple of months and travelled from Manchester. We were not disappointed - the room is small and intimate and the service attentive. But the star is the cooking, from the truffled popcorn amuse bouche to the carrot cake soufflé with butterscotch sauce, all was delicious and beautifully balanced.The wine list offered some unusual accompaniments which complemented the meal very well.Top end cooking which made for a delightful celebration.8

Je viens de découvrir le restaurant: niveau une étoile au Michelin! J'ai l'expérience de très bons restaurants et Marianne en est un. Très recommandé.

A great dining experience is never just about the food, wine or service. For it to be special all of these need to be in harmony with each other and there needs to be the extra dimension that elevates a good meal into greatness. Marianne's managed to align all the stars to provide a really great experience. It is the subtle things that are unique to this place that help. Its tiny so it has a unique atmosphere. The service feels more personal than normal and the kitchen feels like it is only cooking for you. The price tag is relatively punchy however it never feels like you are not getting value. Like many other fine dining restaurants the food is great, but in this environment it feels special. The wine selection is well considered and opens you up to choices you would not make on your own.Really cool place and well worth a visit if you can plan ahead

We live in devon so this is not exactly our local sadly!..this was our 2nd visit and the food and service is 11 out of 10... it is now only the tasting menu which was spot on...this is not a restaurant to look at the prices so just enjoy every single mouthful!

Delicious food with amazing service and staff. Try the tasting menu and the amazing wines they have in their huge wine list. A must.

Extensive wine list for us a little overpriced pricesThe staff is amazing, they are at everything without falling into servility. French style kitchen

I was very impressed by how intimate a restaurant can be. I really had a feeling that somebody invited me to his dining room. The food was amazing and staff attentive. Althought the prices were higher, I really don´t regret spending it on great meal.
