Tasting Menu with Sommelier-Selected Wine Pairings at Michelin-starred Elystan Street

This off-menu tasting experience offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Elystan Street at its most personal. Designed as a seven-course Chef’s Choice menu, each dish is created by Chef Phil Howard and his team, guided by the best seasonal ingredients available and the kitchen’s current inspirations.

Howard’s cooking has always been about harmony of flavour rather than spectacle. At Elystan Street, that philosophy is expressed through lighter, more vegetable-forward dishes, classical in foundation and modern in feel—food that is clean, balanced, and deeply satisfying without excess.

The experience is intentionally personal. Guests are looked after with discretion, allowing the evening to unfold at its own pace.  Courses evolve with the market, the season, and the chef’s instinct, allowing guests to experience dishes that may never be repeated in quite the same way. The result is a tasting menu that feels spontaneous yet assured, rooted in simplicity and depth of flavour.

Alongside the kitchen, the sommelier curates wine pairings in consultation with the table, taking into account preferences and mood. Wines are selected to complement the rhythm and nuance of the menu as it unfolds, creating a seamless conversation between glass and plate.

This is Elystan Street at its most expressive: off-menu, ingredient-led, and quietly confident; an insider’s experience shaped by the moment, the season, and the guests at the table.
