FORTY FIVE KENSINGTON

Forty Five Kensington is trying really hard to be hip and trendy, but it’s more like that friend who’s a little too extra. The decor might scream upscale dining, but some reviews suggest it’s more style than substance. Sure, the food looks pretty on the plate, and the service is often described as warm and welcoming, but not everyone is convinced it lives up to the hype. You might find satisfaction in those tiger prawns, but if you’re after value, you might feel a bit ripped off.

With a mix of high praise and some serious side-eye, this spot is a gamble. The atmosphere might charm you, and if you’re lucky, you’ll snag a great dish. Just don’t expect to leave feeling like you got your money’s worth all the time. It’s a fuel-stop for those who prioritize ambiance over absolute culinary mastery.
