As the leaves turn, so do our kitchens.

Across all three Galvin restaurants, Chef Director Arturo Granato and his team are already at work - sourcing the season's best from the market and reshaping our menus around it, swapping summer's lightness for the warmth, spice and comfort of autumn. It's the same care and craft that's always defined Galvin, just dressed for the colder months.

A new reason to dine at Galvin is coming...

Seasonal plates, great value, and the perfect excuse to gather around the table before Christmas takes over. Warmer service, cosier rooms, and a menu built for lingering - from our family to yours.

Three venues. Three Autumn Tables. Landing 19th September.

📍 Galvin La Chapelle · Galvin Bistrot & Bar · Galvin Green Man
