Tom Aikens was a London Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant operated by the eponymous chef from April 2003 opening to January 2014 closure.

[2][3] Since his departure from Pied à Terre, Aikens worked for Pierre Koffman again at La Tante Claire of The Berkeley hotel for nine months and then as a private chef for rich clients.

[4][5] In April 2003, Aikens opened his 60-seater eponymous restaurant at 43 Elystan Street, Chelsea, SW3, a former site of a pub Marlborough Arms, with his then-wife and co-owner Laura Vanninen.

Among the dishes served in May 2003 were "pig's head with spices and ginger, stuffed trotter and tongue with celeriac puree and crisp pork belly",[20] "foie gras and artichoke terrine with truffled celeriac remoulade" and "poached chicken breast and braised leg with truffled macaroni artichoke sauce".

[7] In that same month or December 2003, among the dishes were, noted by columnist Jan Moir, "wild salmon cured with beetroot and orange, served with of beetroot leaves, caviar and dill"; "confit rabbit with carrot and Sauternes jelly and a tarragon salad"; "roast turbot with celeriac fondant"; "pigeon steamed with thyme served with a chestnut veloute", "cannelloni and soft lettuce"; "variations on a [...] duck consomme"; and "snails wrapped in [...] lettuce ravioli.

[24] Food critic Matthew Fort in May 2003 scored the restaurant 18.5 out of twenty, praising "a terrific place" as "comfortable and smart".

Fort also noted chef Aikens's emphasis on flavour as "gentler [and] more considered" and on texture as softer than earlier at Pied à Terre.
