"Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing a night of live music at The Troubadour in Chelsea, and it was nothing short of fantastic. The anticipation built as I secured tickets for just £10, a reasonable price for what turned out to be an incredible evening of entertainment. The Troubadour, with its rich history as a legendary music venue, lived up to its reputation. Nestled in the heart of Chelsea, the venue exudes a unique charm that blends nostalgia with contemporary vibes. Upon descending into the basement club, I was immediately captivated by the intimate atmosphere—a perfect setting for a night of live music. The upcoming band night showcased emerging talent, and I was pleasantly surprised by the caliber of performers. The diverse lineup presented a musical journey, each act contributing a distinct flavor to the overall experience. From indie rock to soulful ballads, the range of genres added a dynamic and engaging dimension to the night. The sound quality was impeccable, highlighting the musicians' skills and allowing the audience to fully immerse themselves in the live performances. The intimate space fostered a connection between the artists and the crowd, creating an electric atmosphere that resonated with the spirit of The Troubadour. The £10 ticket price felt like a steal for the quality of entertainment delivered. The affordability, combined with the venue's historic significance, made the evening even more memorable. The Troubadour Chelsea has successfully maintained its status as a hub for live music, offering a platform for both established and up-and-coming artists to showcase their talents. Whether you're a music enthusiast or simply looking for a vibrant night out, The Troubadour Chelsea delivers an unforgettable experience. The blend of historic charm, live music, and an atmospheric basement club setting makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking the pulse of London's music scene."

"Such a shame for the subpar service we received, as we love the food here, but won’t be coming back to this location. The moment we were seated the manager rushed to tell us “you have to be done by 8:30 another table is coming”. Now, I understand having time limits, but perhaps saying it in a less abrasive way unless the king himself was dining at our table. Then the manager chastised us for having 2 seats empty (we booked for 7, they provided 8). Apparently, one is expected to have clairvoyance to know when a member of a large dinner party suddenly cannot show up. At the end, we requested to take off the service charge (which is our legal right), and a server came to harangue us over it. We explained all the above and he extensively argued back with us, letting us know how busy they are and how they needed the seats and was rolling his eyes and being extremely rude to us. Folks, if I had the future-seeing abilities they expected of me, I’d be a billionaire. Regardless, the service charge is known to be optional, and is naturally not given when service was not provided. How troubling that a restaurant (with eventually many empty seats within our dinner) is so desperate to free ONE seat that they would rush and ostracise a paying group of SIX. Oh and in case you’re wondering, we did order a lot of food, so you would expect a restaurant to enjoy receiving the profits of a large party? But apparently that’s not how Eat Tokyo Notting Hill works. This was perhaps one of the most appalling service I’ve received in London."

"just minutes from the gloucester Metro Station and in the design inspired boutique rydges hotel. the marmalade restaurant is located in the heart of kensington and chelsea. After they were invited to try the new winter menu on the jam, and visit the Christmas press party in the rydges. it was a joy to bring my friend T. after a short drive to gloucester street we were thrilled by the uplift of being in the chelsea area. groups of people in their chic smoking and dresses strip the streets eagerly excited to get to their destinations. at the arrival in jam cabinet, the place looked like a modern trendy bar from outside, there were a few diners inside, and the place was nice and quiet. the cleverly dressed waiter welcomed us efficiently and handed over the menus. he didn't quite understand what I meant when I requested the winter menu, but we were presented with the set menu. for 2 curs meal £15.50, and 3 courses it was £19.50 [here link] I was immediately drawn to the pumpkin risotto with sage and thymian infunded olive oil. the pumpkin risotto was presented beautifully on a large white dish, which is covered with water circles above. the strong smell of Parmesan cheese, filled my nose, I could not wait to try the court. the aromatized creamy sauce and the dense texture of mushrooms, along with the sweet pumpkin, all these aromes and textures were hit on the right place that satisfy my beinge. “T” was pleasantly surprised with the black pudding croquettes with crimped mayonnaise, I agreed. the crispy croquettes, filled with black pudding the herb mayonnaise was creamy and well paired. for the net I went for pan roasted salmon with warm butter beans and garlic cassoulet and t had confit of huhn with chalk senfsauce, roasted kartoffels and delicate stem broccoli. the salmon was arranged on the bed of butter beans. light pink with crispy skin, the combination of delicate butter beans and the very rich garlic-cooked was miraculous. Finally, for dessert we had, the inner child in me had my eyes on the Sticky toffee pudding with vanille ice cream and t had chocolate mousse with winterberry compot vanille cream. the sticky toffee was presented in a small square part, with the toffee sauce, and the smell of vanilleeis met me first. vanilleeis was placed on the baked ingwerbiskuitkrümel. the cake was nice and damp, but the toffee was casual and had not tasted enough. the ice was delicious, with the commercial ice creams. I only wish there was more of the inquiries."
