MEDLAR

Medlar is the posh mate you secretly wish you could afford, serving up French fare that could make a food critic weep. With dishes like ham hock croquettes and crab ravioli, it's hard not to feel fancy here. You’d think they’d charge an arm and a leg, but the prices are refreshingly reasonable for the quality on offer.

The vibe is sophisticated yet relaxed, and the service is impeccable—shoutout to Irene for making sure you feel like royalty. Perfect for date night or a celebration, you can leave feeling like you’ve just dined in Paris without the airfare. If you’re in Chelsea, this is the spot to treat yourself.
