Hedone has an amazing resume: top 100 best restaurant in
Hedone has an amazing resume: top 100 best restaurant in the world, 1 Star Michelin, great yelp reviews. All checked out! But my experience was a little underwhelming - there were misses, some of the dishes' presentation was a bit messy but did pick up and finished strong in the main courses. It is a small restaurant with less than 30 seats and the best seats would be the 4 bar seats overlooking the kitchen. Overall good experience but expected more.

According to his Wikipedia entry, the chef here used to be a lawyer. I think he read a precedent that stated: tasty food should comprise some ingredients, cooked, and flavored with either bitter, sweet, or sweet and bitter.Literally every dish (even dessert!!) followed that algorithm. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. It lacked soul. And for a meal costing over 260 GBP per head (their wine list has absurdly expensive mark-ups) I want something more than ingredients served with a by-rote intellectual formula.

We ordered the carte blanche menu which cost 135 quid per person. It has a wonderful beginning, the starter finger foods were absolutely amazing. The oyster with apple foam, asparagus and the scallops are delicious so I was excited about the coming dishes. I will never know that I don't eat sweetbread and rare pigeons cuz I don't know it will appear on the table. We tried really hard to be polite to eat the food, we really tried. It's a fancy idea to have a surprise menu, but if you apply something "strange" on the table, yoI better let people know it. I always think that Chinese people eat everything, but I was wrong. I will remember to tell the restaurant that I don't eat sweetbread and rare poultry when I go to a French restaurant next time. Despite the pigeon and sweetbread, all the seafoods are fresh and sweet. And the service is great.

I'm stating upfront that I never got to eat at Hedone so I can't comment on the food. This is my opinion based on my experience as detailed below. I rang the restaurant after my best friend was hit by a car while cycling and was in A&E. My objective was to reschedule the booking. The owner gave me no opportunity to make this request after explaining the situation, and told me "We have a strict cancellation policy that will be enforced".My experience with this restaurant is, in my opinion, only worth 1 star. I think this is poor customer service. In my opinion, some better judgement should prevail under extenuating circumstances. I would have happily rescheduled and found some way to compensate him for treating his customer with respect considering the circumstances. I'd like to think that empathy under the right circumstances is something everyone should be able to expect.
Be the first to ReplyOk, we have eaten at famous chefs like Gordon Ramsey.
This by far does not disappoint. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect. It is not intended to be kid friendly but you need to come here with a perfect person. It is not cheap but yet this quality does not deserve to be. If you want an experience, GO!!!

There's a lot of praise for Mikael Jonsson who changed careers to become a self taught chef. The proof is in the execution of his courses.Why It's Hedonistic +'s:+ Chef's Tasting Menu (£135) - for that price we experienced a memorable journey of ingredients and flavors mixed in an inventive way. It's the World's Best Restaurant #98 in 2017, #60 in 2016 and of course there's one Michelin star in the mix. That all says something.+ Ingredients - sourced and prepared with much thought. Changes seasonally as it should and so going into detail about each course would be dated. However to illustrate the brilliance, I have to highlight the poached oyster combined with a cucumber sorbet.+ Service - Water always filled. Wine pairings served timely with gracious pours. Explanations given without pretense. Even the chef came to pour us some wine and explained how he had selected it.+ Ambience - We had a corner seat where we could survey the bar seating and tables. Very warm and intimate. Noise level tolerable. We couldn't hear anyone unless we strained our ears.+ Location - We had to rely on the Tube. It's not far from Chiswick Station and about a 30' ride from the center of London.Why It's Too Safe -'s:- Not all courses were a huge success. For example the fish and chip rendition was a piece of fish that looked like a open-ended egg roll that could be dipped into tartar sauce. It didn't pop in my mouth even with the sauce.Having tried 2017 World's Best #7, #68 and #90, I can see why this is #98. Unlike any of the ranked ones we had tried, we actually saw the chef and could hear a little about his story. This is important to me since it's part of the experience.

We walked in with much trepidation as we held tightly on to our wallets. It was going to be a big dent in our pockets, but we had to; we just had to. A scorer on the San Pellegrino list, the Hedone star had been touted to be a high single star.Mikael Jonnson was present the entire time in the dining area, serving wine, courses and observing his team plate the courses as the evening went by. The amuse was an exquisite canapé with mushrooms and a carefully conjured white sauce with a delicate wheat base. Another hit was the coned avocado course with a bechamel or soubise like sauce filling and milder greens on the side. The rare pigeon with a delicious possibly bordelaise sauce to enhance the rarity of the bird, a side green and a roasted asparagus stalk was definitely the highlight of the meal. The meat was perfect, the presentation was astonishing.The desserts were sublime. A chocolate bar with raspberry ice cream; the chef's ingenious take on this classic.A 2013 Rully St Jacques, with a memorable density of fruit and a 2011 Marsannay were the most memorable pairings in the tasting menu.Mikael Jonsson is a genius, and you will pay the price of eating food from his perfected kitchen, especially if you go with the wine pairings. Somewhat expensive for a one star restaurant, but worth it, if this is the kind of stuff you like to splurge on.

Superb! Every meal was impressive with different concepts and presentations. The amount of detail effort was impressive, couldn't stop taking pictures. I may have more pictures from this restaurant than all of London. Highly recommended! Worth the drive out of central London!

A self taught chef originally a food blogger doing things his way with panache and grace. I applaud this man for his approach and attitude to food in general and while very serious about his food he has a certain playfulness and 'je ne sais quoi' in what he puts on your plate.If you get the chance and you have a group coming down then I recommend you hire the private room downstairs - I did just this for my birthday. And did it elevate the experience! An 10 course blind tasting. Each and every dish a delight and perfectly paired by the sommelier with some very rare and interesting wines taken from the glass wine cellar just behind our table. Admittedly we even took a break and popped in there and had a look round. Mikael's selection of wine was seriously impressive!One of my best food experiences I have ever had without question! Go there but bring your wallet!

We had to check the pronounciation: it's Hedone to rhyme with Chardonnay, but really please don't let that put you off. My husband was a bit uncertain what to expect as no menu is featured on the website, this is because the dishes are prepared according not just to season, but what is good at the market on a daily basis. We opted for the seven course tasting menu at £75, both choosing the lamb rather than the squab. We were luckily enough to be served by a waiter we had met before at Medlar, who had also worked at Chez Bruce and La Trompette, so clearly a class act with good product knowledge.With a glass of champagne each we were served amuse bouches of foie gras with lime jelly, tuna tartare in a crispy savoury cornet in a bed of wild rice, and crab wrapped in avocado with pistachio mousse and green apple foam. The first course proper was soft cheese with umami, a crisp green sauce and frozen crumbled stilton. Next course was slow cooked duck egg yolk with apricot quenelle, shaved fresh almonds and girolles. The fish course was perfectly cooked sea bass with grapes, then came the superb liquid parmesan ravioli (just hold on the palette until they dissolve). The meat course was a huge piece of lamb, cooked pink with artichokes. the first desert was a raspberry dish with lots of different textures, finally a chocolate mousse layered with cranberry powder, topped with vanilla ice cream. Mister S took the coward's route and swapped the last two courses for selected cheeses. Amazing this was all produced in an open kitchen, which was the epitome of calm - quite an unusual sight. This was all quaffed with a couple of bottles of excellent Syrah, and we waddled home very happy!
