Kitchen Table in Bubbledogs awarded two Michelin stars at the 2019 awards

Fitzrovia’s Kitchen Table has picked up two Michelin stars at the 2019 awards.

James Knappett’s restaurant was awarded its second Michelin star during the ceremony at Waterloo’s BFI IMAX on October 1.

The counter-dining spot previously won its first star just a year after opening, in the 2015 Michelin Guide.

Sandia Chang, who founded the restaurant with husband Knappett, told the Standard: "You never expect it — it's a bit surreal. We want to do better, we want to get more and do it [get three stars].

"Michelin has always been a very respectable guide so as young people that's what we've wanted — what we've based our career on."

Kitchen Table, which specialises in small European dishes, is located at the back of Bubbledogs in Fitzrovia, through a hidden entrance.

Two London restaurants picked up two stars for the first time this year; Kitchen Table and Core by Clare Smyth. Six new London restaurants also picked up one star for the first time.

However, it was a quiet year for new additions, with some of the capital’s favourite restaurants not making it onto the list, including Kiln, Indian Accent, Clipstone and Frog by Adam Handling.
