Ikoyi Restaurant St. James's London Bewertungen
A Culinary Experience Like No Other
Ikoyi is extraordinary—a restaurant that delivers not just a meal, but an adventure. The creativity of the menu is unlike anything else in London, blending bold West African-inspired flavors with refined technique and stunning presentation. Each di
Interesting mix of food
Ikoyi is tucked into the corner of the 180 House building, facing the pedestrianised King’s College campus, opposite the Curiosity Cabinet, with its side street entrance subtly signalling you’ve arrived somewhere different. Stepping inside, you
Worst restaurant experience ever!!! Don’t go!
I’ve been told that I’m being charged for two people for a lunch reservation where only I can attend. This is an exorbitant fee. I’m deeply upset and find the inflexibility, even if pre-warned in the reservation clause, the absolutely opposite
What an amazing dining experience here! I absolutely loved
What an amazing dining experience here! I absolutely loved the interior -- super warm and relaxing vibes, modern and lots of wood accents. Service was top notch, and the timing between the courses was perfect. Everything was so flavorful, fresh, and
Culinary tour de force
Among the top meals in my entire lifetime. Truly masterful work by head chef Jeremy Chan. A culinary tour de force from start to finish. Don't miss the exceptional wine pairings!
West African inspired cuisine
Ikoyi is a two star restaurant and the brainchild of chef Jeremy Chan, who imagined and subsequently created and refined a West-African inspired cuisine "with bold heat and spices" (subtitle of his Phaidon cook book). The menu is a 12-14 co
What a fantastic meal - definitely wouldn't hesitate to
What a fantastic meal - definitely wouldn't hesitate to come back! From the service to the food to the overall experience, everything was done very well and clearly practiced to a tea to create an amazing meal. I've never had West African c
A delightful food adventure
This is a food adventure as the menu is secret, that said we enjoyed every step of this food journey. The room is smallish but plenty of space at the table, lighting is subdued and the menu is a secret. We enjoyed every course and spent lots of tim
Outstanding
Absolutely inspired, delicious, wonderful food. Totally outstanding. The whole experience was delightful. The knowledge and advice of the people serving was excellent and completed the experience for us. Highly recommended.
Absolutely fantastic, completely new flavours and combinations, great seeking a restaurant doing something diff. Great!
Absolutely fantastic meal. Been to most Michelin Star places in London and this offered completely different flavours.
SCAMMED by IKOYI
Horrible experience. The concierge from my hotel called the restaurant to cancel the reservation, which IKOYI confirmed the cancellation and they still charged me £650 p/ person. That is a horrible way to be making money.
First time I've been back to Ikoyi since they moved to
First time I've been back to Ikoyi since they moved to their new location on the Strand, and it was an absolutely astounding experience. Starting with the fabulous reservation team (thank you, Arezu!) to the gorgeous interior space and impeccabl
One of our friends got food poisoning and was unable to
One of our friends got food poisoning and was unable to make it to dinner, yet they refused to accommodate and will still charge you full price. I understand cancellation policies for no-shows or people without ample reason, but if someone physically
Great experience!!
One of our best experiences food wise and we have been visiting many Michelin stars restaurants around the world in the past 30 years !! Jeremy and his team are not only serving amazing food but the whole zen atmosphere of the restaurant and the serv
Place to be avoided
Good food but extremely expensive wine menu, quite pretentious overall. The most shocking is that I was genuinely sick that day and the day before and we tried to postpone our reservation, which they categorically refused. For me not to lose 650£ I
Top tier fine dining experience
I first visited Ikoyi in 2020. Back then, they were located in St James and it was a fairly “normal” restaurant in terms of decor, serving an a la carte menu which was reasonably priced. What was not normal though was the food. It was an outstand
Spices are so strong
I was so excited about ikoyi London 2 Michelin star restaurant. I have been dining many Michelin star restaurants in the world but this was the first time I could not finish almost every course. African spices were so over powering the great ingredie
Food art to stimulate the senses and delight! A totally tasteful lunch
Coming in from the cold there was a very warm welcome. There was a very special cola to have with an excellent rum and order it with the one special large ice cube experience! Calm chefs and a beautiful flow of dishes presented in stylish ceramic set
Visual gastronomic treat that costs quite a bomb
Three of us had a birthday dinner at Ikoyi in London’s St James’s neighbourhood a few nights ago. It’s a very small fine dining restaurant with two Michelin stars, helmed by Jeremy Chan, a Chinese-Canadian chef who apparently honed his culinary
This is a tough one.
As I am now living in Los Angeles since 1997, I have been eating West African and Ethiopian food for years. These cuisines are everywhere here. And they are delicious, and ancient, and complex. But they are also the food of the poor and cheap as hell
Very disappointing experience at Ikoyi
Went to dinner at Ikoyi after seeing it featured in many places and had extremely high expectations. Overall, we were very disappointed with the creativity/quality of the food and the level of the service. When considering the price we paid we were e
Great first stop in London recent bday trip.
Walking distance to Tralfagar Sq. Small intimate space. We loved most of what we had. Very distinct flavor palettes ..West Indies w a British mix. It gave us spice trade vibes lol. I was not expecting this at all. I will say some were liked and un
They must have got their Michelin Stars from eBay.
I would normally give an experience like this 1 star but I'm going with 2 stars because the food wasn't too bad. However, everything else was awful. Pros: 1. Some of the courses tasted nice - less than half. 2. Some of them were beautiful to look
4 hours is too long for this.
The 4 hours is way tooo long, I’ve been to many other restaurants which also takes 3-5 hours for a dining experience but this one in Ikoyi is hard to keep being patient and enjoyable. In the end we almost want to ask for the bill and skip the final
absolutely outstanding
been here for a dinner, and from the door the magic starts. great and warm welcome from all the staff, always smiling and so professional. they`ve been always kind and helpful, and we had a lots of questions! Lorenzo and Ilenya (i hope to remember t
Arrogant manager ruined our memories of what was once a wonderful and warm place
My wife and I have been regulars at this wonderful place for the last 3 years. We live in the US and we factor in this place when we visit and book our flights. However, unfortunately, as they have gained in recognition, some of their staff have beco
Over rated
The restaurant now highly over rated. 300£ the tasting menu really doesn’t worth it. The value proposition sub Sahara and Japan is nowhere to be found. They should refocus
Continuing my conquest of London, I wanted to explore great
Continuing my conquest of London, I wanted to explore great food that was well-rewarded, and not just the same old boring fancy food that you find everywhere. So I found Ikoyi, a Two Michelin Starred joint that specialized is sub-Saharan, West Africa
My worst Michelin restaurant, EVER!
It was my worst experience in a Michelin restaurant. (Look at their response. They always reply the same response for the bad review. They always ask to email them for further discuss. They copy and paste for the reply. No service mind at all. They d
Strong flavors, tasty food
Very strong and unusual flavors, but quite tasty. The chef is particularly fond of different peppercorns. Hubby and I had the tasting menu and favorites were the Orkney scallop and benne moin moin & pine nut dishes. Dinner + 1 drink each came out
A very different Michelin dinner
Incredibly tasty and unusual flavours. The cooking is exceptionally refined and the african influences shines through in dish after dish. There were a couple of dishes I felt were on the menu due to style rather than flavour (looking at you plantain)
