Lovely atmosphere. Really a romantic place to visit i mostly came here with my partner we love to visit here. Really a best place. We both enjoyed here. Food is also amazing. Nice place to explore
In that awkward period of chrimbo-limbo between Christmas and New Years, on my first day back at work we decided to treat ourselves to a dinner out. As I am sure you have already guessed, it was to Wild Honey, a lovely leather boothed, dark wood clad restaurant serving up seasonal fare, fine dining without the pretentiousness. They like to say without the price tag, which is true of the lunch and early dinner menu, however, I feel if they are referring to the A La Carte prices, this obviously is rather subjective and depends on your budget.
I have to say that i had high expectations for my dinner at the Michelin starred Wild Honey , and unfortunately my experience although very good didn't live up to my expectations.
Overall good experience but what i expected from a Michelin star restaurant.
I have to say the duck was the highlight of the night and i loved it

With so many exciting new restaurants opening in London it can be easy to forget about the wonderful ones that have been around for years. Wild Honey has been open in Mayfair since 2007 and I remember having an amazing meal there several years ago but never revisited. However, one weekend the restaurant’s location made it the ideal place for lunch. After the success of their Soho restaurant, Arbutus, co-owners Anthony Demetre and Will Smith followed up with Wild Honey in Mayfair. The concept was the same; top quality food but without the price tag of London’s Michelin starred restaurants. The combination of Will’s front of house skills and Anthony’s cooking meant that Wild Honey won a Michelin Star within its first year of opening and has retained it ever since.Now I have to say, we’d chosen Wild Honey on the basis that we wanted good food in a casual setting and it wasn’t quite a casual as I remembered but the dining room was very elegant with red leather booths, wood panelling on the walls and well-stocked bar. There was a makeover by top restaurant design Martin Brudnizki in 2012 but then I honestly can’t remember what it was like before anyway. Also the ambience was a little hushed and muted, not the brasserie buzz that I’d hoped for.

Wild honey
Um restaurante clássico com uma gastronomia simples mas com um sabor que perdura na boca até hoje. Foi degustado um menu de três pratos escolhidos pelos chefe dando a oportunidade de conhecer uma nuance da carta do restaurante de uma forma subtil…
A Entrada
English asparagus, slow poached egg, St George mushrooms
Foi um inesperado do acaso a delicadeza do corte de cada espargo junto com um toque de amores perfeitos que foram engolidos por um creme de espargos delicado e que na boca nos enriqueceu retendo-se na nossa memória o sabor verde misturado com a clara de um ovo esponjosa por fora e um líquido por dentro da gema que se espalhavam no prato.
O Prato principal
Slow cooked short rib of beef, young carrots, English radish.
A tenricidade da carne que se desmanchava só com o passar do garfo.Um toque de caramelização que nos despertava sabores que nunca foram experimentados pela saliva, um casamento perfeito com legumes da terra com o seu ar sublime.
A Sobremesa
Wild honey ice cream, honeycomb
Uma abelha, animal que todos correm dele como nos pode dar um final feliz a uma história. Um crocante de mel que estilhaçava como um vidro na boca e uma cremosidade gelada dando delicadeza a cada colherada infinita de sabor.

To give you more of an idea as to what kind of diner I am, this is one of the most high-end restaurants I’ve been to, lured by a certain case of “Masterchef” food porn. I am a student, if you haven’t guessed already! (Damn, I need to finish that About Me page sharpish!). Whilst I’ve been to a few Michelin star restaurants, both on the high end and low end of the price spectrum, in Hong Kong you can get Michelin for the amount you pay for Five Guys! Wild Honey is one of the first where I felt the need to be a bit more “prim and proper”, not helped by a large group of smartly dressed waiters standing courteously towards the side of the dining room, that’s enough to intimidate the Panda!
Food was ok. Environment is very comfortable. Took the advantage of £5 corkage fee to bring my own red wine to perfectly go with the beef. The main course is good but doesn't really surprise me. The desserts are amazing by look and by taste, especially the chocolate fondant which is divine.
Fresh. The food has a freshness which sets it apart and has a young vibrant feel to the place which makes it a very pleasant restaurant to go
Excellent value for money. We went to Wild Honey for the first time this Sunday to celebrate my partner's birthday.
The sunday lunch menu is great value for money (£25.50) and we had an excellent meal. They do 250ml carafes of wine so we could order red and white, all wine was about £14. Definitely a plus. The service was also excellent.
We'll come back.
Pleasant Sunday Lunch. Sunday lunch is from a fair value set menu at £25.50 for 3 courses. Food was high quality, in both ingredients and cooking. Highlights included a well balanced chicken & smoked eel terrine with a wonderful chutney & a perfectly timed fillet of cod. But desserts were strongest - we enjoyed a subtle wild honey ice cream. Also the coffee ice cream. espresso syrup & fantastic marmalade that accompanied an otherwise uneventful carrot cake. Dishes are safe but skilfully prepared, rather than challenging. Service was mixed.
Probably the best non-Michelin restaurant I’ve ever had in London. The sardine for starter was a good portion. Three good size and meaty sardines with nice flavor is a great way to start a meal. I had slow-cooked beef(forgot what it was called) and it blew my mind. At the first glance, I was very skeptical of the black piece of art. However, the tenderness and flavor of the beef was simply divine. Not a piece of steak was computable with it. The honey comb and ice cream was a little bit too sweet for me, probably a better idea to have something more refreshing. On top of their good food, service was fine and the ambience was really relaxing. Also, spacious between tables. Good for friends gathering or family unions too.
Immediately the staff were very friendly and attentive as soon as we entered. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with wood panelling and red leather booth style seats.
I was invited here by a friend and we used a groupon deal for a three course taster menu. There was no snobbiness in regards to us using a voucher, which can sometimes be expected from a classy establishment. The food was fantastic and elegantly presented. They have a small but very well executed cocktail list and substantial wine list.
With the voucher the meal turned out to be very good value for money but I wouldn’t hesitate to come back and pay the full price.
I didn’t see the full menu but even the groupon menu had a nice choice of vegetarian options. In terms of accessibility, the toilets are down a winding metal staircase so I can’t see how people with disabilities can use those facilities.
Other than the accessibility issue I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
Pure class, a lovely edition to my top 5 favourite London restaurants. Friendly welcome, started of the evening. Plenty of lovely tables, but glad we had a half booth style one just operator the bar. Food came very quickly, and was delicious. Good selections of wine. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks Wild Honey.
We went there for lunch on Saturday and we really enjoyed the quality of the foods here. This is fine dining place with a bit mix between comfort foods and a little bit of fusion. Good foods, good wine, and good service.
Absolutely amazing and excellent value for money! 3-course meal and a complimentary champagne for only £27.5 pp from Groupon. The portions were just right and everything was palatable. I particularly love the roasted lamb - it was full of flavour and matched really well with the hispi cabbage and mushrooms! The tapioca pudding was nice but I'm not a big fan of the roasted apple.
Overall, the dining environment was nice and spacious with friendly staff and delicious food! Highly recommended!
We went there by chance and it was a good surprise. Obviously it didn't come cheap but the dining experience justified the price. Entrees and the rabbit mustard sauce were great. Nice wine list, even by the glass.
Very cosy restaurant with great food and services. Serving portions are generous too.
Wonderful experience here, the food was amazing, lovely atmosphere, service exemplary even though they were short staffed.
A MUST GO place, very very highly recommended, fantastic food, a comprehensive wine list and excellent service from ANGEL.
Went for dinner with a group of 7 and it was an excellent night! Highly recommend :) Really nice, mellow ambiance with lovely decor. The food was delicious (particularly the ricotta pumpkin dumplings) and the waiters were both perfectly discreet and friendly. Super evening all round. Oh, and good sound absorption of noise in the room.
