Le Cupole

We did the five course meal and it was excellent. Very attentive service. The view is incredible! The photo was taken from our table The best meal we've had in Italy so far.

Had a lovely birthday dinner at Le Cupole. The sea front view is fantastic especially at sunset. Food was really nice and most importantly it was a real culinary experience, not just every day food to fill up the belly. Every dish was something I had never tried before, you could feel the creative touch of the chef.

This place is really awesome and romantic. They serve variety of foods. But I didn’t like their food at all. It was disgusting to eat. They should change their menu. Horrific items.

One of the two mains was a set of boiled and then vaguely roasted root vegetables with some very flat sauce, disappointing to say the least. The other main was a risotto so salty my fiance had to drink half a bottle of water to flush it down, and I just couldn't bring myself eating it. One of the deserts was a sorbet, sorbet often being the only vegan desert available at any restaurant, it's disappointing to see it on a menu boasting some creativity. The second desert was equally a sorbet, on top of a tofu chocolate parfait, I am a dark chocolate lover and I am sorry to say that the parfait was plain and lacked taste. In conclusion, don't pretend, do the right thing and hire a vegan chef.

Definitely a game of 2 halves. We went for the chefs counter experience, which I would not do again, half way through the tasting menu it shut down and the chefs disappeared. We left after 4 1/2 hours when there were still 2 courses to go, after the fish course arrived cold and a sub par cheese course. Such a shame, its definitely tough for hospitality at the moment, but really for the money they are charging the service should not have dropped off the way it did. We last went to Pollen St a couple of years ago and left disappointed and have done again this evening which is unfortunate. There are just better options in London for the money, we won't be back.
