"Elystan Street is a fine dining restaurant in Chelsea that has the feel of a living room where you’re worried about breaking anything for fear of bankrupting yourself. Despite the wannabe chill but quite unchill atmosphere, the food at this modern British restaurant is tasty. This isn’t fiddly, fancy stuff. It’s bolshy flavours—scallop and crab-stuffed courgette flower, gorgeous lamb with a garlic purée you want to exfoliate with—that you can gobble up like a trust fund. The a la carte menu is similarly bolshy in price, as is the tasting menu. But for a blowout meal, this is a restaurant you can easily settle into." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
