Isa Bal's wine list — deep on grower Champagne, Jura, and oxidative styles most London lists won't touch — sets the register, and Jonny Lake builds dishes to meet it, pulling technique from a stagiaire's-eye view of French classicism, Nordic preservation, and Southeast Asian acid work. The result reads as global on paper and precise in the mouth: a dish might carry miso, brown butter, and vin jaune in the same six bites without any single element shouting. Service is unhurried and genuinely conversant on the pairings, which matters here more than at almost any other two-star room in the city. ## Menu highlights - **Cured kohlrabi, smoked eel, horseradish snow** £38 *Tasting menu course — served alongside a 2016 Savagnin* - **Anjou pigeon, burnt onion, sour cherry** £62 *À la carte signature, cooked on the bone and rested over embers* - **Cultured cream, brown butter, aged vin jaune reduction** £24 *Closing dessert course, built to finish the final pairing pour* Rating transparency **FlightLogic expert score: 9.2/10.** Star ratings on this page are editorial composites from named FlightLogic research — not aggregated consumer submissions — unless individually marked as verified below.

[Review integrity policy](https://flightlogic.co.uk/review-integrity/) 1. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample The pairing flight is the real menu here — ask Isa Bal's team to talk you through the Jura pours, they clearly love the list. The pigeon course alone justified the trip from Manchester. — Marcus Ellery · 14 March 2026 Response from Trivet Thank you, Marcus — glad the Jura selections landed. We'll pass this on to the floor team. 2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample Technically the most restrained two-star kitchen I've eaten at this year — nothing on the plate is there for show. The eel and horseradish course was genuinely startling. — Yuki Tanaka · 2 February 2026 ## Submit a verified dining review Consumer reviews require on-site geolocation verification or transaction proof before publication.

Weekend tables typically need three to four weeks' notice, though weekday lunch sittings sometimes open up with under a week's lead time. Book directly through the restaurant for the most accurate real-time availability. ### Is the wine pairing worth adding to the tasting menu at Trivet? Given that the cellar — curated by co-owner Isa Bal — is arguably the restaurant's defining feature, skipping the pairing means missing the point of the room. Most regulars treat it as non-optional. ## Visit info ### Hours **Monday** Closed **Tuesday** 18:00–21:30 **Wednesday** 12:00–14:00, 18:00–21:30 **Thursday** 12:00–14:00, 18:00–21:30 **Friday** 12:00–14:00, 18:00–21:30 **Saturday** 12:00–14:00, 18:00–21:30 **Sunday** Closed ### Features - Reservations accepted - Vegan options - Wheelchair accessible Last updated: 26 June 2026 ## Location ## More in London
