The Team

A highly respected figure in the industry with a multitude of awards to his name and without doubt a true chef’s chef. Phil has always cooked with harmony of flavour being his absolute mantra – and this being achieved through classical flavours and rigorously seasonal and ingredient-led cooking. None of this has changed at Elystan Street but an increased focus on vegetables and a lightness of touch now prevails.

With over 30 years of experience in running some of London’s finest and most respected neighbourhood restaurants Rebecca brings her immense experience and passion to Elystan Street. As a pro restaurant goer she has not only amassed a hard-earned diner’s opinion but a perspective to help ensure that her own businesses never rest on their laurels.

Becky first joined us in 2017 and subsequently worked for Simon Rogan in Hong Kong and at Restaurant 1890 by Gordon Ramsay – both of which earned Michelin stars. She is elated to be back where she belongs.

Cesare is our passionate, personable, and profoundly knowledgeable head sommelier, he brings a wealth of expertise to your dining experience. He’s always delighted to share stories, suggestions, and the secrets behind every bottle. Expect a conversation worth savouring.
