Cannot recommend highly enough - absolutely wonderful small restaurant, very few covers and only one chef and one wait staff. Food was absolutely phenomenal, clearly prepared with love, fantastic flavours and beautifully presented. The chef even offered an off-menu vegan dessert, made from scratch, for a vegan diner. Service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing and the atmosphere was lovely. I'll definitely be coming back. You need to visit.
I have visited Gilvic a few times since it opened in September and am so happy they opened. What a hidden gem. They seem to provide top restaurant quality in a relaxed and more down to earth environment. The owners are friendly and have explained that it had been a life long dream to have their own restaurant. Both so passionate and you can tell when you bite into their food. I managed to pop in and get some delicious options to take home in lockdown and what a treat it was. And their coffee is great by the way. Here are a few pictures from various visits, the dishes are from their taster menu. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
Food was great! Me and my partner really enjoyed our little brunch there! The chef came to talk to us and he was really friendly! They also smoke their butter in house which was a delicious experience for us!

Thanks for an incredible evening Guillaume. My 12 friends and I had an incredible birthday evening at Gilvic - the food, drinks and service was excellent. I was so grateful for the delicious gluten free cake made by your pastry chef. We look forward to visiting again.

It is a such fantastic and wonderful restaurant!! Everything is so delicious!! Nice chief and waiter !! Highly recommend it, especially for the lamb, which is very tasty and tender!!
Forget the over subscribed eateries along the canal. Veer slightly off the beaten path for some beautifully articulated weekend brunch at this hidden gem. Fresh, delicious and elegantly presented. There is also an a la carte menu for lunch and dinner. Watch out for the sign outside the door marking the entrance to the restaurant, or you could miss it.
Amazing experience! Will certainly come back.
The customer service is excellent and the decoration and detail is beautiful.
They used protective masks throughout, and appropriately, which for me is reassuring.
We have picked the super tasting menu, and everything was absolutely a delight!
Not to mention the perfection of the cocktails served.
Five stars, for sure.
It’s a lovely little restaurant in Haggerston. Affordable and fair price. Nice decoration and vibe. It’s in basement but with proper airing so you feel good. Really like my Seabass, and their vegetarian meals are also tasty! There are 2 Malaysian waiters who are both super nice!
Very lucky to find a hidden gem. Everything is delicious, staff are natural and friendly. Were surprised by every dish, chicken liver is the most delicious one I ever had.
We popped in for dinner and we're so glad we did! The atmosphere is cozy and the food was delicious. Guillaume is clearly passionate about the food he prepares and it comes across in the way he interacts with his customers as well as the food itself. We both had the tasting menu and every dish was fantastic!
