About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines

Primeur was established in 2014 and is one of the 43 Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants that can be found in London.

We cook very simple food with a great attention to sourcing from sustainable and regenerative producers. Our wine cellar also reflects our focus on soil health and offers a wide selection of natural wines, from the classical to the more left-field grapes.

You can find our menu posted daily on Instagram @primeur_restaurant

Great locals type experience at this cozy bistro. All of the food was delicious and interesting. The Copa, Crab Cakes, and chocolate mousse were melt in your mouth good! The G&T also hit the spot!

Love this place. The ambience, service and food are all incredible and unique. However there is a real lack of meat/dairy free options. They’ve happy to accommodate and usually there are some more veg focused dishes but on last visit there were none beyond a starter salad. Would be good to balance the menu a bit more with 1 or 2 veggie dishes.
