The Michelin Guide's review
Elystan Street is a neighbourhood restaurant, but the neighbourhood it is in is Chelsea, so you can expect to find elegance and style in spades. It’s a collaboration between Philip Howard and Rebecca Mascarenhas, and with its huge windows, well-judged lighting and friendly service, is an equally charming spot for a light lunch or intimate dinner. Cooking is pared-back and unfussy, yet there’s vigour and energy to it which suggests it comes from the heart. Dishes have a classical base but a lightness of touch, and flavours are well-defined and eminently satisfying.
