As a seasoned restaurant fanatic, who has resided in this fair city since 1992, it is beyond me why Launceston Place has heretofore remained beneath my radar! We visited on Saturday for shared birthdays and to say we were impressed seriously underplays our experience. From the fun and tactile Phyllis menu to the original and supremely executed food, Launceston Place has charmed us into putting this on our regular rotation. On our way home, we were forced to resort to "name your least favourite course"—and even then we struggled. This was an easy five stars in all categories, because the service was friendly, polite and not intrusive; the ambience was warm and calm with a buzzy undervibe; the food was ambitious and perfect in presentation and flavour; and it was incredibly good value for £42 for three courses, plus an amuse bouche, phenomenal bread and whipped butter, and petits fours. And no one batted an eye when we were all done and then decided to have cheese! I can't believe I was able to get a table at but a month's notice. Launceston Place deserves to have a three-month waiting list. That said, perhaps I should delete this review and keep all this to myself! Thank you to the spectacular team at Launceston Place. See you again soon.

Cosy place and attentive service for dinner. Good wine pairing to our dishes. Love the contemporary arts setting , juicy Venison is our favourite dish while others are refreshing and delicate.
