Discover Medlar's exquisite seasonal menu in the heart of London King's Road, where modern European cuisine shines with British Isles and European fresh ingredients.
At Medlar, culinary craftsmanship meets elegant simplicity on every plate. The menu is thoughtfully divided into starters, mains, desserts, drinks, and specials, ensuring guests embark on a memorable gastronomic journey that celebrates seasonality and modern European flavors.
Starters
Begin your dining experience with the delicate Crab Raviolo, featuring samphire, brown shrimps, fondue of leeks, and a luxurious bisque sauce that delights the palate with sea-fresh notes. Alternatively, the Duck Egg Tart offers a rich combination of red wine sauce, turnip purée, lardons, and sautéed duck heart—a perfect balance of robust flavors and comforting textures.
Mains
The main courses at Medlar reveal a masterful blend of ingredients and culinary techniques. Savor the Under Blade Fillet served with café de Paris snails, stuffed portobello, shallot purée, and béarnaise sauce, marrying earthiness with rich sauces. The Stone Bass is elegantly prepared with a soy, shallot, and ginger dressing alongside shitake mushrooms, shiso, bok choi, and kohlrabi, offering a fresh and vibrant seafood option.
For poultry lovers, the Roast Coquelet Breast and Stuffed Leg comes with white asparagus, morels, wild garlic, leeks, and ricotta gnocchi—a seasonal feast in every bite. The Chargrilled Calf's Liver features a crisp potato galette, confit onion, wet garlic, Dijon, pancetta, and a sherry vinegar caramel, combining bold flavors with refined textures. The Cornish Lamb Rump highlights green asparagus, sautéed tongue, kalamata olive tapenade, anchovy, and crisp potato terrine for a sophisticated meat course. Finally, the Roast Newlyn Cod is served with mussels, Iberico winter tomatoes, gnocchi, monk's beard, red gem lettuce, and gremolata, showcasing a beautifully balanced fish dish. Vegetarians can indulge in Sautéed Gnocchi accompanied by morels, cauliflower mushroom, white asparagus, tropea onion, wild garlic pesto, and pecorino, marrying umami and freshness perfectly.
Desserts
Conclude your meal with indulgent desserts that perfectly complement the menu's refined flavors. The Buttermilk Panna Cotta is adorned with gariguette strawberries, strawberry sorbet, pistachio cake, and candied lemon zest, delivering a refreshingly creamy finish. The Warm Chocolate Mousse and Salted Caramel Tartlet is served with milk ice cream and candied pecans, creating a luscious and harmonious sweet finale. For a simple yet delightful treat, the Honeycomb Ice Cream offers a crunchy, caramelized texture that satisfies any sweet tooth.
Drinks and Specials
Medlar offers an excellent selection of wines and cocktails to perfectly accompany your meal. Expertly curated to enhance the unique flavors of the dishes, the drink offerings ensure a complete dining experience. Although the menu focuses on modern European cuisine, occasional specials highlight seasonal and local ingredients, inviting guests to explore new taste sensations with every visit.
