Orrery - London

Visiting the Orrery was a once in a lifetime experience (for myself and my partner), and it took a discount voucher on top of another offer so that we could afford it! The staff are excellent. From when we arrived to when we left, they could not have been more attentive and informative and worked hard to make it a special occasion. We had the five course taster menu, and when they realised it was through a voucher the menu was taken from us to be replaced by an A5 piece of paper with the menu on which actually had the name of the discount voucher on it. Hey everyone, look at us, we 've not got the big menu. We have a piece of paper because we are not paying full price. Of the five courses, only the dessert stands out elderflower pannacota with strawberry jelly, a real treat. The slithers of cheese with minute crackers were excellent. The beef should have been the highlight but unfortunately failed to live up to expectation. We enjoyed and appreciated the commentary given with each wine course. Again, we can not fault the staff. The techniques on each course demonstrated the skills of the chef. Unfortunately, the flavours did not match the obvious talent. It may have been that our expectations were too high. Other guests were certainly enjoying their meals.

I was told by clients that The Orrery was a must visit. After having dinner here the other night I can see why the advice I should check it out myself. Everything from the layout of the restaurant to the great staff made for a pleasant evening. The food of course was great and it's a place I will come back no doubt in the future.

Orrery is the epitome of French culinary brilliance in the heart of London. Each dish is a symphony of flavors, a testament to the mastery of the Ukrainian chef who expertly weaves magic on the plate. Beyond the food, what makes Orrery a standout is the warmth radiating from every corner of the establishment. The sommelier, in particular, is a beacon of affability and knowledge, effortlessly enhancing the dining experience. If you're on the hunt for the finest French fare in London, Orrery is an unmissable destination.

Wonderful dining experience while visiting London, you must not miss this hidden gem. Not a typical tourist place, but worth locating and the time spending there. The manager Andrea is your expert on any allergy concern you or your guest may have, the Sommelier Julio was one of the best I’ve seen. Not one of his suggestions disappointed us. I’m a red wine person generally and he serve us 3 white wines that each one was better than the other. The food and service was incredible. I can not elaborate on food and beverage as it’s a matter of personal taste, but I can assure you will not be disappointed with that many choices of delicious items on the menu combine with a superior service. My complement to all staff. Had many good meals in different parts of London during different visits, but this one left me with an unforgettable impression.

A tastefully designed restaurant with nice views of the church garden across. No worries if the window seats are not available, as the strategically located mirrors allow you to see the church garden even if your back is to the wide oval windows. It is one of our favourite London restaurants. The modern take on French cuisine is spot on and the food, delicious. There is a wide selection of wine. The service is always amazing. Rita, the maitre d', gave us a nice quiet table, and Dhruvi, our server, was attentive and extremely helpful with our dietary restrictions. The Dorset crab, mango, wasabi, and avocado is my favourite starter. Seafood ravioli, lobster bisque is really good. The red wine poached salmon fillet (cooked just right) and the melt in the mouth lamb shoulder were all super yummy. We had the traditional French dessert but with a modern twist (lemongrass brulee with blood orange sorbet). Reservations are a must. A walk down Marylebone High Street (voted as one of the prettiest high streets in London) after the meal will help burn off some of the calories.
