Daquise - London

I stay in Kensington for business once or twice a year.

I have been to my fair share for snobby pretentious places in London with a ridiculous price tag that makes you think the food is laced with ambrosia when

My husband and I had an absolutely incredible meal at Daquise in South Kensington.

Went to Daquise for dinner last week and what a disappointment. Poor tasting and overpriced food and what's worse, a mouse was running around the restaurant between tables under our feet see attached photo of it! When I reported the mouse to the staff they just laughed and made bad joke. If you are at all concerned about food hygiene and are not a big fan of mice running around your feet, I would stay away from this place...

I’ve been to Daquise with Italian friends as per usual, but this time it was for my birthday. I put my birthday present next to me under the table in a little bag and in the general mess it was stolen. When I realized it, I told the owner and we were the last ones left in the whole place, they had just finished cleaning and the staff hurried out of the place without saying anything. Unfortunately it is almost certain that it was one of the staff while cleaning as it was under the table and had a necklace inside, there were few customers besides us and there was always someone at the table, except the one time we were outside to say goodbye and leave, and the staff was cleaning. No customer would go around looking underneath the tables anyway, and grabbing a random plastic bag, especially as they are having dinner in south kensington. Besides us there were very few people, especially while we are all there. Unfortunately they don’t even have internal cameras, which means anything could happen in that place but they take no responsibility whatsoever. In all this the manager Ted was of a unique arrogance. He denied everything by refusing to cooperate and laughing at me. When I called him to ask if he had any news, he started screaming at me to overlap my voice, saying he did not care and hung up halfway through the phone call and told me not to come any more as this doesn’t change anything for him. Saying that they have no cameras and that the woman we suspect of is working there with her mother and sister, so if anything making it all even less credible on their part and easy to deny. All this to say it was an absurd and frustrating experience, especially given the emotional value of the gift. completely unreliable staff and the manager, Ted, of an immeasurable arrogance.<br br
