Why I'll go back:  pound for pound, and £ for £, one of the best tasting meals in London.
You HAVE to order:  obviously it's a set menu, but the pre-dinner cocktails are solid
Tony's Tip:  the lunch seating on Fri or Sat is nice because it's light out, which is a good backdrop for the relatively small space (no more than 20 people).

Just returned from London and our second trip to Anglo. The first was pre-Covid, and we were thrilled to find Chef Anthony Raffo still whipping up creative dishes for guests. This visit was just as enjoyable as our last one, and since no one on Yelp has shown Anglo any love in five years, I figured a more recent review was the least I could do in return for our amazing lunch.

Did I say lunch? Yes. They offer it on Friday and Saturday, and we've done lunch both times and really enjoyed it. Sitting in a quiet part of town just east of Bloomsbury, Anglo has a pretty straightforward presentation vs. some other tasting menu restaurants that seek to entertain a bit. So we saved those for the evening and were able to focus on the food at Anglo. On that note, there isn't one of the six dishes that we didn't thoroughly enjoy. The opening offering - a carrot bisque - was delicious (and perfectly themed for Autumn). The fish course - leek with several accompaniments - was delicate and flavorful. The duck was presented in two courses, with the first being a creative puff of confit and the second a more conventional portion, but accented with a couple of thin, gelatinous pieces that served as a unique way to add both texture and sweetness to the dish. And for the second day in a row, we were treated to the pleasure of cheese in the form of "ice cream!" I really hope this catches on in the U.S. - we're sorta addicted now. Dessert (beetroot and berries with honey) reminded me of the old spin art kits when I was a kid. Just a beautifully elegant way to close out the meal.

I alluded to cost at the top, but I have to say, 8 scrumptious courses for a mere £55 is hard to beat anywhere in London. Well worth it, and an incentive to splurge on a cocktail, glass of wine, the pairing, or an extra course that may be available. It's also a refreshing change from the exorbitant cost of many tasting menus these days. Granted, Anglo is not Michelin-starred, but it  rightfully should be. If you live in London, I would work Anglo into your afternoon or evening sometime soon. If visiting, definitely put it on the list. We absolutely cannot wait to go back! No

I never expected my first meal in London to be so good! I've heard Anglo just opened, but if they keep cooking at this level, they'll never close. 

I love the intimate ambiance with just a few small tables. The appetizers come in rapid succession, and they're all super fun. There are sweet shreds of Crab under a frozen ice cap, a Beef Heart Kebab that tastes like a taco full of jerky, and a creamy purée of Salt Cod.
Even their bread is exceptional. They let their sourdough starter work it's magic a lot longer than most so the extra sour gives the bread some earthier notes for a flavor-dense impact. They also add yeast to the butter, and it's as addictive as they say.
The English Pea is the most surprising and easily the best dish. The peas are sweet and fresh, and I LOVE them. The black garlic and whey beneath are amazing, and this is coming from someone who hates peas. 
The Hampshire Trout is smoky, seared, and soft with a side of roasted tomatoes and summer squash with courgette purée.
The Goosnargh Duck breast is a primal pink beneath a crispy skin. The pate dip is delicious, and the plum puree goes well with everything.
Caramelized onions have a barely-detectable sooty finish on the Cheese and Onion on Malt Loaf, and the mild-to-medium-sharp cheddar shavings look like coconut.
Dessert courses come next, and I love that they're all fruity and not too sweet. The Frozen Apricot goes well with leaves of basil, and a crisp burnt-sugar shell finishes like caramel.
The Summer Berries are served with buttery shortbread, and the buttermilk ice cream brings it all together. 
The bonus Blueberry Financier is served still warm, and it's buttery like a Madeleine.

Wow, I've literally never liked peas until now. Anglo has an amazing menu, and it's surprisingly very affordable. There is no lack of genius nor ingenuity in this kitchen, and I would love to see more of it!

Yummy! Absolutely loved this place. Staff were attentive, food was scrumptious. Although one or two dishes were a little unusual and didn't blow my mind. But it was still good overall. 

I booked a few weeks in advance for dinner as the venue is pretty small. There is a tasting menu for £45, hence you don't get a choice in what you order. But that was fine with me as I got to try things I wouldn't usually. Lots of nice little surprises in the dishes. Add £30 if you want to pair wines with your meal. 

I'd def go back. :)

Really amazing and tasty

It's been a while since I've tasted so many great dishes. With a nordic hint, we enjoyed 13 amazing dishes, all surprising, tasty and beautiful. 
The chef has been at Noma for a short time. We could definitely sense that. 
We didn't go for the wine pairing, just a couple of glasses. The Zinfandel is amazing. And so is their Brut. 

The place is small, but cozy. And location seems a bit deserted. But don't be discouraged - it's worth it.

Awesome eight course menu in a small intimate restaurant - service was great, wine list reasonably priced and all the courses delicious - understand the menu changes quite frequently ... My favorites from when we went was the butternut squash, burrata and chestnut as well as the chocolate dessert
