We sat on the patio for lunch. It is far enough away from the front of the restaurant that it seems like it is a private enclave in the middle of the city. The Londonliscious menu allows patrons to try a 2 course or 3 course meal at a reasonable price. We sampled the mussels, maki rolls, Caesar salad and spinach salad for our apps. The entrees were plentiful, well presented and delicious. thanks to our server Melissa and chef Scott for another great dining experience.

This was my first visit to The Black Trumpet. We were greeted very nicely and seated promptly. The service was attentive but not rushed. The food was also quite good, with appropriate pricing. I am likely to return my next time in London.

Went to this place before attending the North American preview of Chariots of Fire at the Grand
Theatre. Absolutely phenomenal performance.
Good meal too. Partner started with a beet and arugula salad to compliment the chicken focaccia and home made fries. I had the bison burger with home made fries and complimented it with a squash soup. Everything was cooked and presented well, although a number of fries were cooked to the burn mode. Am sure if I pointed it out they would have rectified it. It's a little pricey but has good quality to make it worth it. Would have no problem returning.

A perfectly quiet and elegant place for a few friends to lunch and chat on a Saturday. So many interesting and healthy choices on the menu. The other three opted for the veggie burger and raved, though one was a little charred. I had the shrimp tempura with radish and cabbage slaw. They were done just right, plump and juicy inside, crispy light coating outside. The service was friendly and prompt but not intrusive. I can't wait for the patio to open!

I’ve been to the Black Trumpet a few times and really enjoyed he food. Excellent flavours and the portions were surprisingly decent. It’s a tad expensive but it’s one of the nicer restaurants in London. I’d definitely recommend.

Food is good and the quality is mostly consistent. Service is pretty good. When i say mostly consistent because I've gone to this restaurant and received some clearly sub par dishes. All in all, most of the time, you know you are getting some good food that'll satisfy your belly. The space is definitely a highlight of the restaurant, very calm and comfortable.

Only have been there one time for a birthday dinner and I have to say that it was excellent. Great wine list and seasonal menu that was truly amazing. Everyone in our party left full and happy and we will definitely be back soon!

For Londonlicious 2015 lunch;

Grilled calamari was delightful - not too chewy and not mushy, flavours were vibrant; the tempura sushi was a little gimicky - the veggies inside were so-so and the batter was crisp and light but the rice was way too wet; the seafood linguine was probably one of the best I've ever had (and the portion was generous). Scallops and shrimps perfectly cooked and the pasta was al dente with lots of butter.
The best thing about the restaurant was the ambience. Sit on the patio if you can - it's a small shaded courtyard that's secluded and away from the busy street!

The jerk hen was really good. The only feedback is you should ask for the pricing on items that are not ok menu first to avoid surprise. We order a cauliflower crust pizza and a kids pasta which is just penna cheese and tomato sauce. The pizza was only 10 dollars but the pasta was 16.

Cozy and elegant place, friendly service and yummy food. Me and my date ordered The stuffed jalapenos for appetizers, then I ordered The duck breast for entree and we shared the dessert, which was The dark chocolate truffle brownie with home made icecream. The jalapenos were extremely delicious!! The duck breast was a little bit undercooked and I requested to get it cooked more, I got another piece of the meat with no fuss! And the dessert excellent. 😊

The cosy rustic atmosphere is charming especially the lovely fireplace that divides the room. I wanted to try the restaurant through londionlicious thinking it would be a good opportunity with some price break. After comparing the londionlicious menu with the regular menu I discovered that there wasn't much of a break. Luckily the londionlicious options were off their regular menu so in that regard it was a good way to try their regular menu but at this price, might as well do it without the special event. As for the meal, my husband had the sushi tampura, which was mostly rice and barely there filling, and the falafel, which was flavorful. I had the butternut squash soup, which I found to be very filling and tasty and enjoyable. I also had the Seafood Linguine which was very flavorful and found the sauce to be light and complimentary to the seafood. Overall good experience but I did expect the food to be flavorful throughout as per the previous reviews.

Great place to celebrate a special occasion or just a night out. I took my wife here on our first date and now we keep on coming back. Good food but the ambiance could be improved. Interior and decor feels a bit dated. Every time we’ve been here the service has consistently been slow. Slow-ish service doesn’t really bother me that much it just gives us more time to talk but I’m sure this would bother others.

Service is amazing and the staff is very knowledgeable. The wine selection was fantastic which we selected from BC. The wild mushroom and black truffle pasta was impeccable. We highly recommend this restaurant for a beautiful date night.

The Black Trumpet restaurant in London, Ontario, has the most wonderful, Indonesian teak inspired, interior decor found anywhere. The name, seemingly, inspired by the black trumpet (black chanterelle) edible mushroom. The whole area is divided into a number of comfortable and varied sections permitting both individual and group settings. I ordered an entree of Seafood Linguine comprising; sautéed shrimp, scallops, overrated mussels (Please chef, study the long list of ingredients found on a list of sea food), spinach, and cherry tomatoes, in white wine dill cream sauce, which had signs of prior preparation, confirmed towards the end by a complete loss of temperature. Nevertheless, the dish was saved by a very palatable glass of sauvignon blanc (Map Maker, New Zealand). The chosen dessert was, truly, a wonderful surprise; Black Chocolate Brownie with caramel sauce, fragments of fruit, and ice cream. This was absolutely delicious and deserves a Gâteau du Grand Prix. During the summer, meals (or an afternoon glass of wine coupled with a slice of Black Chocolate Brownie, ‘smile’) may be enjoyed on the patio of a beautiful private Zen-inspired garden. A couple of McDonald’s inspired reviewers who, obviously, prefer plastic chairs, have ignorantly, and incorrectly, complained of expensive dishes, which should not influence your choice for a visit.

Highly recommend!! The food was totally amazing. We got the special for the night which was lamb and it had to be one of the best dishes I've ever had. Service was super great as well!

I’ve been to the Black Trumpet about five or six times over the last few years, including last week. This is one of London’s better restaurants, especially if you’re looking for a more upscale experience. The ambience is business casual, tablecloth and candles. The food is similar to most higher end restaurants. There isn’t a particular style or theme of food - expect to see familiar plates like prime rib, rack of lamb, chicken supreme, etc. Appetizers are excellent. Personally, I’ve had the butternut squash soup and maki rolls - the rolls are a big favourite of many people. The mains are smaller to medium fair but very good. I had the lamb rack and it was excellent. Dessert is average. I had a very good cheese cake before but have also had an average brownie. Servers are good, pretty knowledgeable about the meals. Wine list is average. There’s a prix-fix menu during London-licious for those who want to try a few different smaller items at a discount, which I’d recommend for people on a budget. The price is a little high for the food but you’re paying for ambience. This place is suited best for fancy business dinner and anniversaries. Parking is limited to street parking, which can be tricky on busier nights. Probably best to uber. Overall, relatively reliably more upscale restaurant in London. I’ll be back.
