Wild Tavern is an Italian inspired neighbourhood restaurant at 2 Elystan Street in Chelsea. Its cooking looks to the islands of Italy, the coasts of Europe and the pastures beyond, bringing seafood, handmade pasta and carefully selected meat together in a warm and relaxed dining room.
The raw bar provides a fresh opening through oysters, tuna tartare, red prawns, sea bass carpaccio and ceviche. Burrata, artichoke and grilled scallops broaden the starters, allowing a table to combine delicate seafood with the richer flavours of Italian cheese and vegetables.
Handmade pasta might pair paccheri with white fish and saffron, tortelli with braised beef, pappardelle with rabbit or linguine with whole lobster. The grill then moves between wild sea bass, halibut, lamb and premium cuts of beef, served with seasonal vegetables, salads and classic sauces.
Wine is chosen from Italy and other regions around the world, supported by seasonal cocktails and an all day bar. Outdoor tables add an inviting option in warm weather, while generous plates and a flexible mix of seafood, pasta and grilled dishes make the restaurant particularly well suited to long shared meals.
