Went as a couple for weekday lunch. When we got there, restaurant was quiet but got busy soon after. food was sufficient in quantity and not excessively fussy for a Michelin starred place. service was excellent and did not worsen when it got busy. paid gbp 300 for 2 without alcohol which is at higher end. all in all pleasant experience.

My friend and I are regulars for an early evening Sunday supper at Daphne’s. Today didn’t disappoint. We had our usual order of sautéed prawns followed by roast baby chicken. But today since it’s the festive season we had the added bonus of a panettone icecream coupe to share. It was delicious, Xmas in a bowl.

Celebrated my birthday here and honestly I don’t think I could have chosen a better place. My family is very cultural and don’t care to have dinners out but Bocca lounge truly made it feel homely, offered drinks to cater to our taste. Very lovely welcoming atmosphere, I would definitely recommend coming here food was great drinks were fantastic but the atmosphere/ambiance TOP TIER.
