Great experience. Fantastic for those who love seafood, as it's the focus of their menu. They're not necessarily pushing boundaries with their cooking, but their quality and skill is undoubted. Very well deserved of their michelin star, probably one of our favorite 1-star restaurants in London now.

It was a fantastic experience, showing just how unique flavours can come from simple ingredients. Perfect for seafood lovers, though they’re more than happy to accommodate non-meat eaters as well. While we expected mostly seafood, the chef surprised us with refreshing herb sorbets and fruity shots between courses, which was a delightful touch. The atmosphere is definitely more relaxed than most fine dining spots, with soft lighting and mellow music adding to the charm. The chefs were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it feel almost like dining at home with friends. And don’t miss out on checking the unique restrooms while you’re there.

Amazing. Incredible. Phenomenal. What a bloody treat! Went there last night and from start to finish it was incredible. The ten courses each had their own spectacular taste and we decided to go with the wine pairing - the wine glasses were extremely generous. The restaurant was very accommodating to my allergies - they even remembered them and the dish i had as a replacement was potentially my favourite (i did mention for it to be put back on the menu!). Really thank you for such an incredible night, we really won’t forget it. Special mention to Connor, Audrey, Olivier, Giorgio and Andy (sorry if I missed anyone). Will be telling everyone about this night for many years to come.

Good food and creative dishes at Behind.

Had the tasting menu on the 7th of February.

Highlights is the broth dish and the ice cream in the end! The apple skin and carrot juice is also amazing and very refreshing!

Incredible experience here at Behind. From the moment we stepped in we felt special and truly part of an experience. Starting off with incredible drinks from the sommelier who really knew what she was doing to being served our courses by the chefs themselves. Each course was special within its own right but led beautifully to the next. If you want to truly taste something amazing in London then you must book the tasting menu here!
