Restaurants - London, England, United Kingdom
Situated within The Blue Posts, set on the cusp of Chinatown on Rupert Street - A public house has existed on these grounds since at least 1739. Back in 2017, founders Zoë and Layo Paskin, lovingly restored the iconic Grade II Listed public house, in collaboration with David Archer of Archer Humphryes (Chiltern Firehouse, Hakkasan) into three locations to explore and enjoy; The Blue Posts, The Mulwray and Evelyn's Table. By lowering the original beer cellar in the basement, Evelyn's Table was created. An intimate 12 seater counter dining experience, which since 2020 has been led by Head Chef Luke Selby and his two brothers, Nat and Theo, serving an evolving menu built on their formative experiences – A melded love of British produce, Japanese techniques with classic French training.Luke Selby's cuisine has been greatly influenced by his extensive training working at Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons (**), Restaurant Gordon Ramsay (***), Dabbous (*) and Hide Above (*), where he was working when he won the Roux Scholarship in 2017. Luke chose to do his stage in Japan, the first scholar to do so, working at Nihonryori Ryugin (***) in Tokyo, which is where his culinary ethos for Evelyn's Table takes many inspirations from, after having lived and breathed the culture.The wine list is curated by Wine Director and ex-Noma Mexico sommelier Honey Spencer – the team are on hand to take you off-the-beaten-track, where they highlight producers that create flavours to riff off those coming from the kitchen.Awards & Accolades*1 MICHELIN Star: Since 2022 Best Young Chef(s) MICHELIN: 2022Best Breakthrough Restaurant GQ Food & Drink Awards: Runner up 2019
