Special festive lunch for 6 of us. Menu, presentation, service & ambience were all terrific. Many highlights but bread, madeleines & oysters deserve kudos. Thank you for a lovely afternoon Dave & team.

I like how this restaurant has both a la carte & degustation. We went for carte… food was delicious. Stand out was the bread & the deer.  The open kitchen was well run & calm, all the staff were lovely. Saw lots of the degustation food come out as was sat near the open kitchen… it looked well balanced & excellently presented. It’s a small restaurant so quite intimate, the chef did come out to speak with some people who were having degustation menu.
If I have one criticism the dessert was tiny… I understand that treacle tart a rich desert but this one was actually a lighter version & was basically two bites… usually we shared a dessert but I had ordered the blue cheese, it’s a good job as sweet was a slither.

What can I say, this place is absolute perfection. As a semi-regular frequenter of Michelin-starred restaurants, I can say with sincerity that FURNA easily fits into a 2-star category (and even 3). In my last visit, the creativity of turning squid into noodles and combining it with this genius broth, pork belly, and a perfectly grilled shitake mushroom - this dish is something out-of-this-world stellar, and I cannot for the life of me fathom how blessed/fortunate/privileged I am to have tasted this. FURNA is so damn amazing that during the dinner, I made another reservation. Can't wait to come back in February! (And I'll probably make another reservation then as well!)

... and KFC stands for "Kickass FURNA Chicken"!!!
