Ambience
From outside the restaurant didn't look like a restaurant at all. The interior was very modern and well put together. But it wasn't too fancy. They had white tablecloth and flowers on the table. They had used light colors and the restaurant seemed really bright.
Food
We decided to order a lot of different dishes and share them. Our choices of the evening were:
We decided to order a lot of different dishes and share them. Our choices of the evening were:

Bread was outstanding!
All dishes were very well presented as you can see below. The Stars on the menu were Heritage tomato, Mackerel and Lamb. All the vegetables were really fresh and tasted very good. The food was imaginative and we really enjoyed the use of fresh herbs and different kind of spices. Also the dressing in different dishes were fantastic! The only dish we didn't really enjoy was Corn crusted aubergine, green tomato chutney, goats curd even though the chutney and goats curd were excellent. The aubergine was really dry and tasteless on it's on.
For a drink we shared a bottle of Prosecco. Galoupet's wine list is huge. It always features 36 wines available by the glass. They use Enomatic system of which we haven't heard before .
For desserts we ordered Pistachio, vanilla & olive oil cake, vanilla ice cream and Ecuadorian chocolate, lavender, blueberries. Both were good. We also tasted Madeleine, nice little cookies. Mirka's favourite was the Ecuadorian chocolate whereas Pauliina enjoyed the Olive oil Cake.
Food was great. It was fresh and light and there were lots of different flavours. We liked it!
Value for money
On the night we were there they had a special offer; the food was half off. That was a great deal! We only paid for the 25£ each for everything! But it will be your moneys worth even on normal price.
We really enjoyed our evening and would definately come back again!

Service
The weakness of the restaurant was the service. They have just opened so it might be that it gets better in time. As said we were late but still had to wait for the menus quite a while. We ordered a bottle of Prosecco right away but remind the waiter about it because we had been waiting for guite some time. The good thing was that we got a class of sparkling wine for free (I think everyone got that) but our friends had to ask for it for us.
The other thing was that it was unclear who our waiter was. First there were many different waiters but in the end there was only one. It was relatively hard to understand her english because she wasn't native english speaking.
