Gèa Chelsea — Restaurant in London

A sublime Mediterranean Feast at Gea! An extraordinary culinary journey awaits at Gea in Chelsea, where authentic Mediterranean flavours are elevated to an art form. Each dish is a masterpiece of texture, flavour and presentation. The spinach pie reimagined as a salad is a stroke of genius-crispy filo shards nestled among fresh greens, generously showered with feta. The contrast between the delicate greens and the shattering crunch of the pastry creates an exciting textural interplay. The octopus dish is nothing short of spectacular. Perfectly cooked tentacles rest atop a velvety fava puree, adorned with vibrant diced tomatoes and lemon infused olive oil, creating a harmonious blend of land and sea. The octopus itself is cooked to tender perfection! The orzo pasta dish is a celebration of the Mediterranean's bounty, plump prawns and tender rings of calamari are tossed with perfectly cooked orzo in a light, creamy, flavourful sauce. The seafood is impeccably fresh and the portion is generous without being overwhelming. For dessert, the orange pie is a revelation. A creative twist on traditional Greek orange-flavoured desserts, it arrives beautifully plated with fresh berries, "namelaka" cream and vanilla ice cream. The presentation creates a warm, inviting glow that makes the dessert as much a feast for the eyes as for the palate. The attention to detail in both flavour composition and presentation demonstrates the kitchen's commitment to excellence. Gea doesn't just serve food; it creates memories through thoughtfully crafted dishes that honour Mediterranean traditions while adding contemporary flair. The atmosphere buzzes with the kind of energy that can only come from a team that genuinely loves what they do. The warmth of traditional Greek hospitality shines through in every interaction. From the moment you step through the door, you're treated like family by the passionate and knowledgeable team. The owner's presence is felt throughout the dining experience, greeting guests with genuine warmth and sharing insights about the food and wine with infectious enthusiasm. Whether you're a lover of Mediterranean cuisine or simply in search of an exceptional dining experience, Gea is an absolute must-visit. The combination of outstanding food, impeccable service and genuine hospitality makes it clear why this gem has become a standout in London's competitive dining scene. A special thank you to the owner and the entire team for creating such a welcoming and extraordinary dining...

Beautifully designed restaurant with nearly delicious food that needs a bit of tweaking. It was all well-meaning but….. I think our tall young waiter must have been new as he was hopeless, forgetting several times our request for water (I was parched throughout) and stacking dirty plates in front of my guest until her face disappeared behind them and then throwing the cutlery into the well of this stack. We had the set menu. The aubergine dip was delicious but not enough. Waiter forgot a spoon to serve and we had to pour it onto the plates as it wasn’t possible to dip as the table was too big to stretch to the centre of the table. . I could have had a bowl to myself in particular with their lovely warm bread. A fresh salad arrived as our second course. Beautifully dressed fresh spinach leaves between layers of filo pastry and grated feta. There was just too much of it. We all chose the orzo bisque but I think they forgot the bisque. Whilst the topping of chargrilled calamari and prawn was succulent the pile of tasteless and tepid orzo underneath was disappointing and I wouldn’t order this again. It was a chore to eat and I didn’t bother to finish it. The waiter wasn’t around to ask for salt and pepper! I am not one for desserts but the orange cake was perfection. I have never eaten anything more delicious. The sponge was light and the unexpected crunchiness was a surprise. The ice cream was unnecessary. Would I go to this restaurant again? Yes I would. It deserves a second chance and I would hope I had a...
