Farmlore

We’re still reeling from how incredible the entire experience at Farmlore was. The team were just wonderful from the moment we arrived to the moment we (reluctantly) left. It genuinely felt like an experience in every sense of the word. The space itself is very chic and intimate (holding a max of around 20 people I believe), which makes it feel like the restaurant is putting on a private show just for you. Now, to the most important part: the food. Incredible is truly the only word I have. I’ve been to several fine dining restaurants and worked my way through more prix fixe menus than I can count, and the food at Farmlore is undoubtedly one of the best I’ve ever tried. Every course was thoughtfully conceived and even more thoughtfully explained - you’re not just eating, you’re being told a story, and what a delicious story it is. The flavours are deeply rooted in India, and even the wine pairing (the locavore option) features wines from Indian vineyards, a touch I absolutely loved. The team also brought out a cake for my grandma, which was a beautifully sweet gesture. And we ended the night with boozy gummies, chocolate, and a personalised gift that I won’t spoil, but it made our hearts very, very happy. A practical note for those who need it: Farmlore does have wheelchair access, which is always worth knowing. Farmlore is a definite 10/10. Already plotting our return.

I visited for Saturday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I chose the 10 course degustation which ended up offering even more with the additional snacks and extras. I appreciated the concept, particularly the way some dishes followed a clear theme which was Halloween when I visited. I often leave tasting menus still feeling hungry but the portion sizes here were well judged and genuinely filling. The service was relaxed yet friendly and attentive.

We were a group of 10 people and overall it was a good experience. The service and atmosphere were top notch. Everything was ready for us by the time we got there and the serving experience unfolded like a playbook. Spot on for sure. However, we paid around 8k per person for a 6 course menu. And I dont find the price worthy at all for the portion sizes. Dont get me wrong, the food tastes great but I will never pay this much for this kind of a menu. Dont recommend for normal people at all. Its not worth it at all. But hey, if you have the money go ahead! I personally wouldnt go here again.
