Lovely experience at 40 Maltby Street. Food was incredible and inventive, surprising standout for us were the tomato fritters, but everything was delicious. Service and staff were lovely and tried their best to mitigate our wait. Wine was really delicious as well.
Only minus is for the uncomfortable stools at the bar - just a bit too low for the height of the counter!
Nice dishes packed full of flavour. Chicken and bacon terrine was lovely and flavoursome. Mains look at little small but were filling and tasty. We tried the veal and pork. Organic wines tasted very nice (not like organic wines can). Was full by 6:30 so recommend arriving early. Will be going back.
There has been a lot of hype surrounding 40 Maltby St. and so expectations were not low, but it's wonderful when a restaurant can impress you even when you're already wary.
A wonderful experience top to bottom with great wine sourcing, super fun and atypical small plates with more esoteric flavor profiles, and a cheerful staff that never left us looking around for help.
Seriously, I have very little to fault with 40 Malty, especially since we managed to walk in without a wait on a Friday night.
We ate as a couple, but I think it would be especially fun with a group.
The hype and praise is well deserved. "Celebration" is the perfect word to describe what the kitchen does with British produce. The staff are all very knowledgeable, wonderful and helpful. There's no air of pompousness here. It's a beautiful but simple venue tucked inconspicuously underneath a train track. The food too is beautiful and simple without, I suspect, the use of tweezers.
I'd recommend going with a group of 4 so you can justify ordering most of the menu.
Nothing short of exceptional. We went with really high expectations and it did not disappoint. Wonderful selection of only natural wine and oh the food! Each plate outdoes the last just as you think it couldnt't get any better. The haggis was light as cloud (who would have thought!), Jerusalem artichoke and goat curd toasts, mushroom fritters with aioli, lentils with pumpkins and radicchio were all ourstanding. The staff and service were extremely friendly and attentive. Outstanding establishment and we are already looking forward to our next return.
One of the best dinners I’ve ever had. Fantastic service, food, and wine!
Really nice place and the food was on point. I also think the service deserves a special mention. Wonderful from start to finish.
Wow, this place is amazing. From the minute we walked in, we were amazed at the service. Our server was absolutely amazing, so kind, funny and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to accommodate my allergies and make me feel comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing and the wine is out of this world. 10/10 recommend going here.
40 Maltby Street is incredible and I can't recommend it enough. We were first blown away when we visited in 2019 and the quality has never dropped. The menu and wines are always changing but are always delicious and the service is perfect. The stand out this week was definitely the purple sprouting broccoli with a lemon pickle. They don't take bookings, so arrive early to avoid disappointment. The lunchtime takeaway sandwiches Wed-Fri are awesome, they also change weekly and I've included images of last week's.
The restaurant exceeded all expectations! The food was incredible and was priced extremely well! Daryl was extremely knowledgeable about all wines and helped us pick our three beautiful whites. I would highly recommend the potato dumplings and beef shin! Mouthwatering!
