Something of an institution when it was established back in 1962, the Chelsea Kitchen has in recent years made the move from the King's Road to Fulham. The new place has a lot to live up to, given the landmark status of its predecessor and the eclectic, fiercely loyal clientele who called it their own. Luckily you would find it difficult not to be won over by this thoroughly modern and welcoming eatery with its bright, sophisticated interior, courteous staff, comfortable seating and vibrant atmosphere, as well as its great food. Perfect for a speedy pit-stop while shopping, working or sightseeing, this busy restaurant has already re-established itself as the place to go for quick, quality food at great value.
The style of the cuisine is simple and traditional, entirely suited to the spirit of the Chelsea Kitchen. All preferences are provided for thanks to the extensive menu, and the food is fresh, homemade and of the utmost quality. Choose from a selection of pasta dishes such as pappardelle with capers and sun-dried tomatoes, as well as a varied array of other mains, like moussaka, beef Burgundy, poached salmon with onion chutney, omelettes, burgers and salads. All are offered at amazing value with any pasta dish setting you back a mere £5; you can also pick up a rib-eye steak with chips and vegetables for just £8.90.
With such excellent prices you might be tempted to overindulge, as merely scanning the list of homemade desserts is enough to make your mouth water. Blackcurrant and apple pie with custard, tiramisu, and banana split are just a few of the treats to choose from. With its buzzing atmosphere and delicious fare, the Chelsea Kitchen certainly lives up to the expectations of those who used to frequent the Kings Road bistro. And with a new crowd of devotees beating their way to the door on a daily basis, this place looks set to enjoy further success.
