A good time cave à manger on Exmouth Market. Ken's presents a daily rotating food and wine offering. Chef Fergus Shields' contemporary European cooking foregrounds seasonality whilst the wine program is led by Dan Long, with the list featuring established icons, natural wine legends, as well as future classics from all around the world.

    Loved it. Seriously good food and wine list. The mangalitza belly from Coombeshead was unreal. Pumpkin pasta dish and beef (and the sauce!) also major highlights. Restaurant aesthetics and music also on point. Same again next week me thinks.

    Lovely space; fun vibe; excellent service. Food is delicious - imaginative but not over-elaborate; immaculate quality.

    Have been to Ken's twice and had amazing experiences both times. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive (but not overly attentive). The wine selections are fantastic and surprisingly well-described by punchy names like "Elite White" and "Easy Skins" (though the staff is always helpful in offering more details!). The dishes are always unique and flavorful, and the ambience is rustic-romantic. Perfect for a date or a friendly catch-up. Prices are also very reasonable. Would def def def highly recommend. We'll definitely be back!
