Pillars Restaurant

About Pillars Restaurant

Pillars Restaurant in Ealing is run by catering students at the University of West London, turning dinner into both a polished meal and a glimpse of Britain's next-generation chefs. The three-course menu changes regularly — recent highlights include fillet of plaice véronique with parsley mash, pasta with pesto, and chocolate hazelnut cake with orange mascarpone, and portions are generous. Service comes from trainees learning front-of-house under industry professionals; one reviewer notes "we ate three courses and left in exactly one hour" thanks to their efficiency. Prices are exceptional for the quality, and you'll need to book three to four months ahead. "The food is five star and of an exceptional standard (the best in Ealing)," says one local who's made it a regular spot. Best for parents after a relaxed, interesting meal without the typical restaurant bill.
