Sustainable restaurants in london

The "Fallow" in London is an exceptional restaurant that has made a name for itself with its creative cuisine and strong focus on sustainability. It was founded by chefs Jack Croft and Will Murray, who met during their time at "Dinner by Heston Blumenthal" and later collaborated with experienced restaurateur James Robson. After a successful residency in Heddon Street, which was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, Fallow finally found its permanent location in St James's Market. The restaurant quickly established itself as one of London's trendiest culinary destinations, thanks to a combination of innovative dishes, a vibrant atmosphere, and a conscious approach to often overlooked ingredients.

Creative cuisine in london

The atmosphere at Fallow is lively and modern, with a design that is both stylish and unpretentious. A large, open kitchen with a central counter is the focal point of the space, allowing guests to watch the chefs at work – a detail that makes the team's energy and passion palpable. The decor combines elements like green marble, red leather, and designer lighting, giving the restaurant a touch of sophistication without feeling stuffy. There is also a heated terrace that offers a relaxed alternative in good weather, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of the neighborhood. The noise level is lively but not overwhelming, making Fallow a place suitable for both special occasions and casual visits.

Culinary experiences in london

Culinary-wise, Fallow is known for its "nose-to-tail" philosophy and creative use of seasonal British ingredients. A signature dish is the "Smoked Cod’s Head" with Sriracha butter, an impressive dish that highlights often discarded parts of the fish and convinces with its smoky flavor and spicy sauce – simultaneously making a statement against waste. Equally remarkable is the "Corn Ribs," a vegetarian highlight where corn is cut into rib shapes, fried, and seasoned, making it a perfect companion for cocktails. The "Mushroom Parfait" showcases the versatility of plant-based ingredients: creamy, rich, and with a hint of umami, it elevates the art of vegetable processing to a new level. The dishes are often meant for sharing, promoting communal dining and focusing on variety and enjoyment.

Restaurants with nose-to-tail philosophy

The drinks menu is equally thoughtful, offering a selection of cocktails that complement the dishes perfectly. The "Fig Leaf Negroni" is a favorite – a creative twist on the classic that reflects the restaurant's innovative side with its earthy, fresh taste. The breakfast and brunch offerings are also diverse, with options ranging from hearty to light, allowing for a pleasant start to the day. Fallow places great emphasis on sustainability, such as using seaweed paper for menus or growing mushrooms on-site – details that underscore the commitment to conscious dining without being preachy.

Unique brunch offerings in london

The service at Fallow is often described as friendly and efficient, although on particularly busy days – of which there are many, thanks to the restaurant's popularity – it can get a bit chaotic. Nevertheless, the team manages to welcome guests and support the lively atmosphere of the place. The ability to provide insights into the kitchen through social media has also helped Fallow build a loyal following that appreciates the transparency and creativity of the concept.

A Perfect Culinary Experience From the moment I stepped into Fallow, I knew I was in for something special. The warm ambiance, elegant decor, and welcoming staff set the perfect tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu was a masterpiece, offering a delightful mix of classic and innovative dishes. I started with Appetizer, which was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. For the main course, I had smoked beef rib, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and paired with the most exquisite sauce. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s expertise and passion for quality ingredients. Beyond the food, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest had a great experience. The timing between courses was perfect, allowing me to savor each dish without feeling rushed. To top it all off, the dessert was an absolute showstopper. It was the perfect balance of sweet and savory, leaving me wanting just one more bite. Paired with a carefully curated wine selection, the entire meal was nothing short of extraordinary. Fallow is truly a gem. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself to a fantastic meal, this is the place to be. I cannot wait to return and explore more of their culinary creations. Highly recommended!

This week I had the scallops in “Goan curry” which I found so disturbingly lacking in generosity that I am compelled to write this note. Fallow has been a local favorite of mine until now. At 46 pounds (with no sides) how many scallops would you think one would get? Two. Two miserable little lukewarm scallops huddled in the middle of a big plate amongst some deep-fried garnish and yogurt. Incredibly mean to the point that I wonder if they are just chasing profits at this point. Maybe their tag-line should be “profit-conscious gastronomy”? On the positive side, the staff were, as always, charming, well-trained and attentive (although management uninterested in my views about the punchy pricing of two scallops). I will continue to frequent Fallow, but I will be very careful about what I’m ordering as a main, otherwise I know I will leave hungry and upset.

A must-try restaurant for both London locals and tourists, offering a unique and exclusive dining experience. The food is on another level, prepared with exceptional care and creativity. We visit Fallow whenever we crave something from their menu—it never disappoints. Loki is a fantastic host, and Thomas (from New Zealand) is an outstanding waiter with extensive knowledge of the entire menu.

Amazing atmosphere. Amazing food. Our waitress Deema was brilliant. Attentive. Hilarious. Caring. She made my mums 60th birthday a delight. My brother, who is a tight bastard, actually thought the service charge was fully worth it. He never says that. Congrats Deema. You have restored my brothers humanity. Thank you for making my mums birthday meal so wonderful. One of the best restaurants in London.

Absolute perfection in every regard. Tomos was the best, top recommendations and service. If you are wondering if Fallow lives up to the hype or just a social media buzz. I’m here to tell you to book that table and by that table I mean Chef’s counter.

We had a fabulous meal and were super impressed with the quality of the food, wine and our server, Tomos, who was super engaging, exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable and helped us choose some incredible dishes. It would be hard to find fault with anything about this establishment, which, given its central London location near the tourist areas could probably afford to be a tad less brilliant and still would see a full book of diners, but all credit to the team as they smash it out of the park. Top venue and highly recommended.

Best food in London with warm and nice atmosphere but the most adorable thing is hospitality which is exceptional… Shout out to the manager mr.Alexandros who was attentive, professional, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Their leadership is clearly reflected in the staff’s excellent service, warm hospitality, and attention to detail. It’s rare to find a manager who is both hands-on and genuinely cares about every guest’s experience. Thank you for making our visit so memorable—we will definitely be back!

Dear Alexandros, I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible dining experience we had at Fallow. Every dish we tried was an absolute delight—thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and showcasing the kind of culinary creativity that makes a meal truly memorable. Beyond the outstanding food, what really stood out was the warm and attentive service. Your hospitality made us feel truly welcome, and your passion for what you do is evident in every detail. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the atmosphere exceed expectations, but Fallow absolutely delivered on both. Thank you once again for making our evening so special. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to London!
