Tom Aikens had a restaurant at 43 Elystan Street in Chelsea, London, England. It was opened in 2003 by Tom Aikens and his then-wife, Laura Vanninen. The style of the food was contemporary French.
The restaurant won a Michelin star in January 2004 and three stars in the revived Egon Ronay Guide for 2005. In 2005, it was named in Restaurant's Top 50.
The business was sold and a new venture, the Elystan Street restaurant, opened 27 September 2016, owned and run by Philip Howard and Rebecca Mascarenhas.[1][2]
In the meantime, Aikens has opened several "Tom's Kitchen" restaurants (four at locations across London, including Cale Street in Chelsea round the corner from his original restaurant, one in Birmingham and one in Istanbul)[3] and three top class restaurants worldwide.[4]
