    From Wikitia - Reading time: 3 min

    Elystan Street is a London restaurant.

    History[edit]

    On 27 September 2016, Howard and Mascarenhas opened a new London restaurant Elystan Street, a former site of chef Tom Aikens's Tom Aikens (restaurant)|eponymous restaurant (out of Aikens's restaurants), located at 43 Elystan Street, Chelsea, London.[1] In contrast to The Square, Elystan Street is less formal and more casual.[2] The menu is at least 25% vegetarian[3] and less complex than The Square's, and Howard's cooking skills are not as "fiddly, technical" as they had been while operating The Square.[4][2] Under Howard as its current chef patron, Elystan Street earned its first Michelin star in 2017.[5][6][7]

    Toby Burrowes, who worked under Howard in The Square, was the head chef of Elystan Street from its debut to February 2020.[8] Aaron Potter, previously head chef of the Italian-inspired London restaurant La Goccia at Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden, succeeded Burrowes in that same year.[9][10]

    Reception[edit]

    A. A. Gill in October 2016 noted the "topless" menu lacking "Wine tasting descriptors, wine-twinned dishes, palate cleansers, prestarters or baroque breadbaskets" but praised course (food) that Gill ordered.[11] Luxury Travel Intelligence (LTI) wrote in March 2018, "The interior is stylish, with moody lighting and chic, concrete tables." LTI also noted cocktails served despite having no bar.[4] Ben McCormack of The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph noted "baby" blue and pink chairs, lack of tablecloths, and collection of artworks by Henry Moore and Patrick Caulfield; McCormack called Elystan Street restaurant one of the best Chelsea restaurants in 2018 and 2019.[12][13]
