Viajante

A fabulous experience. El Bulli was excellent, El Viajante... EXCELLENTISIMO. Unforgettable lunch

Had a fantastic lunch at Viajante- went for the 9 course menu, which was actually more like about 15 courses since they counted several as canapés/ palate cleansers etc. The food was imaginative and surprising, much of it was served by the chefs themselves who were so enthusiastic and pleased to discuss how the dishes were made and the ideas behind it. The kitchen is in clear view of a couple of the tables and it is fascinating to watch the chefs at work. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere which is lovely. Will definitely go back!

I had a fantastic time at Viajante. The restaurant was gorgeous, the service was friendly and the food was divine. I think Viajante is a really unique restaurant and an experience I would love to have again.

Self congratulatory, indulgent, gratifying 12 courses with wines, most of which did NOT match the food. Explanations indecipherable due to accent or noise levels. Given a print out at the end, could have done with it during the meal. Cooking good but the mix of flavour/texture does not always work

Fantastic. Had heard great things, went for lunch today as treat with wife and was very very impressed. Service impeccable, Nuno was cooking came and spoke with us and even came running out to say goodbye. Cocktails great in lovely bar. Food was off the charts, amuse bouches delightful and plentiful, highlights the pancetta bread, squid with ink and daikon and my favourite the thai explosion. Had the 6 course lunch, and each one excellent, though langoustine with rhubarb and egg yolk, and the lamb and goats curd with black quinoa were absolutely stellar. In fact they all were, and thoughtful and creative textures and tastes esp Jerusalem artichoke desert (trust me try it!!). Thoroughly recommended on every aspect and level

Truly awesome. Either creases have been ironed out or previous critics have been trying to downplay mendes. 12 courses and several highlights right down to the bread and the petit fours. Well done guys, keep it up and you'll be moving right up the San pelegrino list.

What a treat! As a gift for my parents, my brother and I took them for the 12 course meal with wine pairing. From booking on the phone to the end of the meal (a jubilent 5 hrs later), we had a great experience with the most enthusiastic and friendly staff, made even more fruitful with the chefs presenting some of the dishes at our table in full gaze of the open kitchen where they were made. I can't recommend Viajante enough as a fantastic experience and whilst the wine pairing may seem daunting, the balance of time between each dish and glass is expertly thought through, so why not take public transport or a taxi home..it's worth it!

Fabulous. Having eaten at his sister restaurant The Loft several times, I was very pleased by the experience. The food was second to none. I can't wait to go again. The pairings are just too much when the food is so good. Had we gone for the 12 pairing, we would been too inebriated to enjoy the meal. As it was, 6 had us pretty legless so it was cabs home.

I have eaten here twice - once for a 3 course lunch with friends, once for the 'bells and whistles' 6 course dinner date, bothwith the paired wines. Both times were brilliant, great interesting food, a sense of theatre in the kitchen, and a nice lazy atmosphere - yes its pricey and portions are on the smaller side, but that's the point of a tasting menu, especially one as interesting as this (incidentally, there was some kind of stunning morsel between each course as well). As a one off special I would recommend to anyone.

I had this place recommended to me by a chef friend, but was wary because of the comments on this site and some of the less favourable reviews. I have to say though that it was a fantastic experience. My girlfriend and I opted for the 3 course lunch menu, and enjoyed it massively. The staff were lovely and informative, if a bit quiet when explaining the various dishes, and the quality of the food for the price we paid was great. The food was a bit fussy, but the tastes and flavours were not only surprising but for the most part really lovely. We still talk about it now, a month later. You can easily pay around £60 for a distinctly average meal in London, so to pay £70 including wine and service for a michelin-star experience seems like a pretty sensible move.
