No. Forty Nine

No. Forty Nine is a stylish neighbourhood bistro on St John’s Wood High Street in north-west London.

As night falls, the venue comes alive with a focused rhythm, the lights softening to set the mood. Chef Ella Williams brings New York bistro flair and Mediterranean touches, giving familiar comforts a cosmopolitan lift.

Across the menu, the kitchen leans into bold yet balanced flavours that invite sharing and lingering. Start with fluffy crab and honey choux buns, or fresh gamberi rossi tossed in chilli and lime.

Seasonal plates take centre stage to showcase thoughtful craft: think flaky hake in a sauce vierge, or tagliolini finished with shaved summer truffle and a decadent parmesan cream.

Complemented by modern design and genuinely friendly service, this is a room to return to for a lively evening with friends or an intimate meal. It has quickly become a local favourite, drawing St John’s Wood regulars and curious passers-by with its relaxed polish and warm welcome.

Settle in at No. Forty Nine, the neighbourhood shows its best side, one dish at a time.
