About
Starling should lead because the official site confirms exactly what its reputation suggests: a Michelin-starred Esher bistro from Nick Beardshaw with tightly defined opening hours and a serious produce-led British menu. It is the clearest destination restaurant in town rather than merely a good local option.\n\nThat level of distinction matters. If someone asks for the best restaurant in Esher, this is one of the first places worth naming.
