I regret not coming here sooner. Didn't know a fabulous seafood restaurant like this exist in Hammersmith. The ambiance is cosy, warm and minimalist elegant, the service friendly and attentive. Loved the trout tartare as starter - brilliantly simple and sauced - and the obviously fresh grilled sole was delicious. And then there was the flank steak, which was also perfectly cooked and tender. The lemon tart rounded off our meal nicely. Will definitely be back here to try some other fruits of the sea.
Faber is a true local gem in Hammersmith. The food is always incredible, with amazingly fresh seafood and fantastic flavours. The service is warm, friendly, and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. It’s quickly becoming my favourite restaurant, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Excellent quality seafood combined with creative preparation using local ingredients. I had several small plates to be able to try more dishes. The BBQ cod cheeks were a standout! I ordered some sourdough bread to go with my soup but the warm bread with salted butter disappeared before the soup arrived! Excellent restaurant very close to Hammersmith Station.

Been wanting to try Faber wine and seafood for a while and our visit didn’t disappoint, although it didn’t excite as much as we would have liked. We tried the oyster platter to kick off and while the cold variety were expectedly fresh and crispy the topping did over power a little. The fried oyster was also a little too cooked and was a little dry and didn’t have the juicy bite within. The tacos were fun and had a good balance of flavours and zing to it. The grilled fish with chilli sauce was tasty but also a little overdone for our liking. Not to say it was dry, it was juicy inside, but lacking a moistness within and the sauce didn’t pack as much heat or flavour as we’re expecting. But overall we did have an enjoyable meal but next time we might stick more to the fresh seafood and not mix it up too much.

My partner and I came to this restaurant for the first time to celebrate his birthday (we actually had to reschedule two weeks later, but we still made it) and we absolutely loved everything.
The cocktails, the wine list, the quality of the food, everything was perfect. The prices are very reasonable for London, and their sustainable approach is really interesting.
They even remembered the note I’d left mentioning it was my partner’s birthday even though we didn’t order dessert, they brought out a candle and a sweet little note. Such a thoughtful touch!
Honestly, we’ll definitely be back
