Angler Restaurant

We went À la carte as I wanted to have the Turbot main. The sommelier was fantastic, pairing the wines with the dishes we chose. The plates were presented beautifully and tasted just as good. I thought it was suitably priced.

The restaurant is located on the 7th floor of the South Place Hotel, just a short walk from Liverpool Street or Moorgate tube stations. After taking the lift up, we were greeted by the maître d’ and shown to a banquette table for two. Unfortunately, a large private dining group nearby created a lot of noise, which made conversation quite difficult. The ambience was otherwise very pleasant—particularly with the rain outside trickling down the slanted window panes, adding to the atmosphere. The long, stylish dining room features an impressive metal-designed ceiling that catches the eye. We had the “Taste of Autumn” menu: a three-course set menu with complimentary champagne (£55), with supplements for certain dishes. Bread Course Potato & polenta sourdough with whipped brown butter – as expected, very good. Starter Tuna Tartare With ginger dressing, toasted sesame, and pepper purée. An excellent dish—fresh, vibrant, and distinctly Asian in flavour, with the sesame and ginger complementing the tuna beautifully. Main Pork Belly Served with smoked celeriac, Morteau sausage, and puy lentils. The pork was cooked to perfection: tender meat, crisp skin, just enough fat, and accompanied by a delicate apple note and a lovely sauce. The lentils and crackling added great texture. (Scottish Cod with caramelised cauliflower, lovage, and chicken butter sauce was available with a £15 supplement, but we did not try this.) Dessert 70% Chocolate Crémeux With milk chocolate nougat and salted caramel cream. Outstanding—one of the best chocolate desserts I’ve had: rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Extras Three petits fours rounded off the meal nicely. Drinks & Service Service throughout was attentive and friendly. The complimentary champagne (Piper-Heidsieck) was a welcome touch. Overall Almost a perfect evening: excellent food, well-presented courses, stylish surroundings, and good service. The only downside was the intrusive noise from the private event, which significantly impacted the otherwise refined atmosphere.

Had a beautiful dinner at The Angler to celebrate our anniversary and engagement. The staff were informative and attentive. The food was beautifully presented and had unique flavours. Would recommend!

Angler, a Michelin star seafood restaurant cervical British cuisine. Elegant decor and ambience. Very simple menu to choose from. We left satisfied but not convinced, with mixed feelings. The dessert, however, was outstanding.

Truly enjoyed the tasting menu. Wonderful in every detail. Generous portion or, in fact, this is setting a good standard that any restaurant needs to give the dish substantial form and food to eat in order to taste and enjoy when providing a multiple course tasting menu. Lobster ravioli was my favourite. Pasta was al dente, and lobster meat inside was full of flavours and textures. The lobster bisque had a Thai style hint to it and some vege at the bottom to balance it out. Lamb main with the lamb sausage was a bit too strong in taste for me, but I liked it for the fact that the tasting menu was an experience to try out the chef's specialities. The pre-dessert was phenomenal and was my second favourite for this menu. Welcome snacks and petit four had shown the chef had put in a lot of effort and creativity to make the meal memorable and fun.
