"During my four day trip to London my first restaurant visit was to “Daphne’s” of whose reputation I had heard . No need to say, we had booked a table in advance knowing that going there without a reservation was out of the question. My experience there proved to go far beyond my expectations! With exquisite dishes within a romantic atmosphere, my friends and I had a splendid evening . “Daphne’s” is an elite, ritzy restaurant in London’s South Kensington district. With its soft caramel coloured diffused lighting and chic ambiance it is one of the haunts of many celebrities. The highlight feature of this place is naturally the dishes it serves. The highly professionel staff serve the most appetizing , sumptuous and exotic dishes of classic Italian cuisine in an overwhelming ambiance. All the dishes are top class quality: the pizzas, both the classic and covered types prepared in front of us, spaghetti dishes, risotto types and the fried courgette sticks dipped in Parmesan cheese a dish I never had enough of , they are all to die for. But before tasting these heavenly dishes, my humble recommendation is to order one of the sea food appetizers. Especially the Ravioli with crayfish and courgette is well known. The wines are selected to go with the dishes served. The prices are reasonable compared to the dishes. “Daphne’s” is a restaurant with a unique romantic atmosphere where you can be sure to taste most savoury and mouthwatering dishes and have a delightful time . It ‘s enchanting ambiance is almost thrilling. “Daphne’s” is located at Bromton Cross, between Chelsa and South Kensington. Its location is ideal for having lunch after a visit to Royal Albert Hall, Science Museum, Natural Museum, Royal Court or after shopping at Knightsbridge and Kings Road. In Turkish as well: Dört günlük Londra turumun ilk restoran ziyareti, methini önceden duyduğum ' 'Daphne 's ' ' oldu. Tabii reservasyonumuzu önceden yaptık, zira başka türlü yer bulmak zor oluyormuş. Dedikleri kadar hatta daha fazlası varmış! Hem muhteşem yemekleri hemde romantik atmosferi ile bir de sevdiğim arkadaşlarımla birlikte olunca son derece keyifli bir akşam yemeği oldu.

Buranın kralı yemekleri. Muhteşem atmosferi, son derece dikkatli profesyonel ekibi ile klasik İtalyan mutfağının çok çeşitli, lezzetli, iştah kabartıcı ve exotik yemeklerini sunuyorlar. Gözünüzün önünde hazırlanan açık ve kapalı pizzaları, makarnaları,lezzetine doyamadığım parmesanlı çubuk kabak kızartması ve çeşitli risotto yemekleri bence hepsi birinci sınıf. Tüm yemekleri inanılmaz lezzetli ancak deniz ürünlerinden biri ya iştah açıcı ya da başlangıç yemeği olarak mutlaka ısmarlanmalı. Kerevit ve kabaklı raviolisi ün yapmış, çoğu İtalyan şaraplarından oluşan, yemekleri ile uyumlu şarapları, yemeklerine göre çok daha uygun fiyatlı.

"Service, service, service.... The treatment we received was efficient, bordering on surley. No time to crack a smile or answer a question. Some of the food was good. The tunna carpaccio was on point, though wanting for a drizzle of oil. A second course of lobster ravioli served as a main, rather than the second starter I asked for, my companion called “school canteen” food, tough packets of lobster flavoured gunk, more in common with packet ravioli from tesco’s than the lose, silky, self evidently hand made parcels of fresh crustacean I was hoping for. The butter and sage sauce was nowhere to be seen, I believe there were chopped tomatoes instead. The veal was good, sadly not to be had, as promised on line, with capers. The side of beans was as confronting as our server it was so al dente. A bowl of freshly grated parmisan left on our table by another server was a benediction. The bill: £82 change our drinks were a smallish a bottle of sparking water at nearly £5. I had worked out the costing of this meal based on the menu posted online at around £55 60 for actual food drink items. Apparently the new post Brexit/covid/war prices haven't made it on line yet the ravioli main course has gone up from £20 to £26. Even with the 15% service charge we could not have anticipated spending £82 on three plates, a side a bottle of water. Though I specified I wanted the plates in succession making the ravioli a second course before the main as pasta should be in Italy, the two plates were brought together as two mains, not what I had hoped for fair enough, it was after nine by the time we walked in, however it would have been nice to be asked before the chef/server took the executive role for us. With £90 in cash on the table the prevalent attitude was the balance would be a tip on top of the service charge. 25% for service? Possibly ok, if it was pleasant: that we had to ask for our change tells you about the service put a sour note on top of an already kinda dismal meal. I rarely eat out, this was my special treat place, I live around the corner. I thought I was so clever bringing a guest here, the experience was significantly different from the last few times (incidentally, I’ve always sat outside in the past and it’s cramped inside I ended up feeling embarrassed sad. I don't think I’ll be back soon. Here’s to cooking at home. :"

"Booked in here for Tuesday 24th April evening when the weather was rubbish and I had the holiday blues so didn 't want to cook and the added bonus of a Groupon voucher to use also swayed my decision. Parking isn 't great to start with and I 'd guiltily parked outside someones house down from the cinema entrance : We entered for them to address us quizzically and claim that even though I 'd called earlier to book us in with my Groupon voucher reference they had nothing in the diary.. We were seated anyway at a very small table squashed right up at the back we had to 'bump ' passed 3 other tables which I found quite rude to the people sat down. We had no sooner got our coats off picked the menu up then we were pounced on to take our drink order efficient maybe or just a bit too eager? We ordered a bottle of red wine anyway not the house which I thought was a bit steep for a basic wine! and it was brought quick as a flash they then expected us to be ready to order we had only been in the place 8 minutes! The waitress was sent back to us and we ordered the meat antipasti to start, followed by the Gnocchi for me Lasagna for the Mr. We were brought a bread basket when the wine was produced however the butter given was solid clearly not to be used!The bread was nice and fresh though. Again, i didn 't even get a sip of my wine before the food was placed in front of us had it been pre prepared sat waiting to be ordered? The starter platter was to feature ' A selection of Italian meats and cheeses served with artichokes, olives and homemade bread ' the only bread we had was from the initial bread basket and I wouldn 't call 2 olives a selection! The meat was good quality but we felt a tad disappointed overall. We then had to wait 15 minutes for our main! My Gnocchi was nice, if a little bit bland, so I needed to be a bit over generous with the seasoning myself it lacked a bit of bite to be honest but the portion size was good. My Mr didn 't have may complaints for the Lasagna other than it could do with a bit more meat! maybe just a man thing! While we were eating, the close proximity of the tables to each other caused a few 'moments ' with the waiters a full portion of chips lost down the back of a diners chair and a bottle of beer knocked off the table when his bum stuck out a bit much in squeezing passed! Not really what I want to watch when having my dinner. We asked for the bill and sat for nearly 10 mins before I got up and went to the counter to ask again they were in no rush to get it paid either so we took the bill to the counter and paid there. I can see a lot of people are impressed with this place and go back on a regular basis I 'm not won over after this visit however. the tables are too close together the service is either too eager or too laid back where is the happy medium the beer wine list is a bit pricey the menu descriptions are a bit over zealous or they need to actually deliver on the description the food lacked seasoning. From when I observed during our meal, they are not short of business and do a good student trade. I 'm not sure for the 'professional ' couple however they have the right service/food/price quality balance I would be looking for to go regularly."
