We went there for fish and chips. We had to make a reservation. They take your coat to the front desk and give you a number to return it. The food was the best fish and chips that we tried in London. The atmosphere is cozy and calm, considering we are in Europe, and everything is smaller and tighter than in the US.

Loved it so much. Great service amazing vibes in a beautiful, characterful and vintage interior. Liked that it is fairly relaxed while feeling sophisticated and food prices and very reasonable. Food was fantastic too. Great shepherds pie and steak tartare!

I had the pleasure of dining at The Ivy recently, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. it's clear that the chefs take great pride in their craft. What truly stood out, however, was the service. From the moment we arrived, the hostess Ms. Binta, made us feel right at home. She greeted us with a warm smile, was attentive without being overbearing, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism added a personal touch that really made the experience special.

I recently had lunch at The Ivy in London with my girlfriend, and it was a fantastic experience. I opted for the Malaysian Curry, which was really flavourful and perfectly spiced, while my girlfriend enjoyed the Tuna Steak, which was cooked to her perfection. Both meals were delicious felt of high quality. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a traditional & stylish setting that made our lunch feel special. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and we can’t wait to return!

Their pre-theatre menu is amazing! Two courses for £29.99, we opted for mains and dessert. Everything was full of flavour. The portions are on a smaller side but that’s expected. You’d need an extra side dish also.

Rated highly for the lively and historic atmosphere. Great location in Covent Garden with plenty of other bars and restaurants nearby. The staff here were very friendly and there was a good choice of beers and ales. Didn’t order food which was a good idea as I doubt be able to sit down.

Perfect English pub for me. Great service and a very good pint of Guinness. The place looks great and has an old school vibe and the decor is funky and brilliant. Had a nice relaxing pint here enjoying the afternoon.

Very busy on a Thursday night in dec-24. Great location in the Covernt Garden theater area. Still, both service and food could and should be much better in the dedicated dinning room. Waitress forgot half our order, waiting was too long for comfort and food quality and presentation was lacking severe qulity

Went in for a Sunday roast, waitress was nice, the place as well. I was not quite convinced by our order. The meat portion was quite small, compared to the huge piece of cabbage( which I didn’t like but that s personal taste ).

Greene King pub in heart of theatre land. Nice layout of several rooms with dining room at back. Glass and wood old-style feel. Very pleasant and efficient service. Not cheap, of course.

We always visit Hawksmoor seven dials when we are in London, the steaks I would say are going to be hard to beat the service is really good the place is always packed so I would always suggest you book well in advance, the portions are slightly larger than you might imagine we usually only mange two courses. You won’t be disappointed but it can be a quite loud in my opinion but this is definitely not a negative point purely my observation

100% recommend. I had a lovely night out for dinner at the Hawksmoor. From start to finish, the food and service was excellent. I had a seasonal kiwi cocktail, lobster and creamed spinach. They also serve the best sticky toffee pudding. The staff were excellent, especially Tika who attended on our table and had a very friendly and cheerful manner, ensuring that we were well taken care of. My husband and I truly enjoyed dinner at the Hawksmoor and look forward to returning again.

Went for an bday meal with my mate today 20/12/24. Amazing meal. Our waiter was brilliant. Wish I’d got his name. very funny and amazing service the food was quality! Worth every penny!

I visited Hawksmoor for my birthday, and the meal was exceptional. Our server Nathan (Nate) was superb, very attentive and kind. My partner is a vegetarian, I know it seems a weird choice to visit a Carny restaurant but it was 'My' birthday. The choice was limited for him but he settled for egg and chips, which made me lol. he said they were the best fried eggs he's ever had (possibly cooked in beef dripping 🤭) Everything was perfect and would definitely go back, it beats many steak restaurants I've visited in London. I rarely eat everything but clean plates all round.

Stopped in for dessert, specifically sticky toffee pudding. We started out with cocktails, a Sour cherry Negroni and Gingerbread Man. Both were excellent. Next up the Sticky Toffee Pudding. One of the best desserts I have had, so rich and moist and the clotted cream was perfect to cut richness of the pudding. Highly recommend!

Vic Pinto - 11 months ago

My very favourite cinema in London! Upstairs is a cool bar, serving drinks and artisans snacks. Downstairs are the cinemas, lined with photos of stars at Curzon movie premiers etc. Picture and movie quality is always great, and they have more of the sort of movies I like: arty, intellectual, awarding winning, foreign language movies. I pay a monthly membership and so worth it. Pictures attached are outfits from the Poor Things, displayed at the cinema.

Great blue lights in the theatre which does not disturb you when you are watching the film. Seats could have been better my friends said, i would say so to. Just spoilt. Amazing set up, prices are through the roof but you can only find some film here and the ambience. Great staff and smiles too.

Visited this Curzon brunch few days ago and liked it much. Beautiful place. Attentive staff members. Clean facilities. Didn’t try any snacks or drinks will update soon. Thank you Curzon for a nice 😊 experience as always! ⭐️

Delicious food and even more delicious chai! I got mine with Oat be because I'm lactose intolerant and luckily it was still yummy. Service was quick even after we had missed our reservation by 30 minutes. Would def come back!

Excellent service, excellent food. Very friendly staff. They are extremely busy but very efficient at the same time. Even though there is a long wait. It usually takes around 30min in a busy day to be seated. Curries are delicious. I believe it is the best Indian spot in London. It is worth every penny. I highly recommend this place

I recently visited this fantastic restaurant in London, and it exceeded all my expectations. The customer service was outstanding; our server was not only knowledgeable but also went above and beyond to help me choose gluten-free dishes with a touch of humor that made the experience even more enjoyable. And the food—truly incredible! Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented; it’s honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back. This place is a must-try for anyone visiting London! -Vega Approved ✔️👍🏼

After hearing so much about the Dishoom the time we were in London, we decided to go, having turned up the queue was down the length of the building however there was a member of staff walking down the line informing you how long your wait would be also booking you in if you required, we had been told a table for two would be approximately 45 minutes, however within 30 minutes we was seated, the staff, atmosphere and ambience of the restaurant cannot be faulted, the drinks arrived within five minutes and about 15 minutes later our food started to arrive. The flavours were amazing and every plate we tried we couldn’t find fault with, the cocktails are a little bit pricey but well worth a try.

Exquisite Indian food of Bombay flavours. Atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in an authentic Indian setting enjoying the delicious amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Lots to choose from with recommended dishes clearly labelled on the menu. Lots of drinks to choose from as well. Excellent and friendly service.

Very impressive. This restaurant gives you a romantic vibe with gorgeous and elegant decorations. The staff is very professional and the service is awesome. I had the lunch weekday set which is really good. Personally the starter is okay but I love the main and the truffle mash potato. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

My husband and I visited Clos Maggiore yesterday for a late celebration of our 22nd anniversary, and it was nothing short of perfection! This was our second time dining at this gem of a restaurant, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was enchanting. The intimate, romantic setting, especially under the stunning conservatory with twinkling lights, made the evening feel so special. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and professional without ever being intrusive. And the food? Absolutely divine. Every dish was a work of art, from presentation to taste. Each bite was a testament to the chef’s skill, with bold flavors and perfectly balanced textures. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it truly made the evening unforgettable. Thank you, Clos Maggiore, for making our celebration so memorable. We can’t wait to return again for another special occasion!

Lovely Christmas lunch for the team, went down really well. Have to say the Venison which I ordered for my main came out perfect, very soft and tender. Went with the virgin Bellini's, very tasty so ordered another round. Followed by the non alcoholic wine, again really good while in my keep healthy mode! Our seat in the conservatory was perfect to give us the full Christmas lunch experience, even warmed up by the fireplace right next to us. Looking forward to trying an evening meal here to see how the ambience differs.

They do a really pretty lunch set menu, at an extremely reasonable price point. For what it's worth, especially if you're able to get a seat at the Conservatory space area, you'll have a really pretty dining experience against the backdrop of an actual fireplace and flowers strewn across the entire ceiling. Their weekday set lunch comes with a glass of bubbles, and 3 courses. For 35 GBP, it's extremely worth the reservation. Got myself a classic terrine, a slow cooked belly of pork, and their signature apple crumble tart. With the service considered, against such an attractive price point, there's honestly nothing much to complain about. One thing though: make sure you make reservations earlier, as they get booked out quite quickly.

I found this place by searching for "most romantic restaurants" for celebrating our 1st anniversary with my wife. It's definitely a very romantic restaurant and I'm so glad I chose it for such a special anniversary. I had made a reservation long before and stated that I wanted to get a good table, and the table given to us was one of the best tables in the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant was truly incredible, the food was of high quality and the service was impeccable. The grilled chicken was especially delicious. Our waiter (I don't know his name but he was gentleman with glasses) was very helpful and friendly. After asking for the check, we waited a bit too long for it but it wasn't a big problem. Thank you for this nice dinner 😊

I visited the restaurant and had a very pleasant meal. The waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and most helpful organising gluten free bread for my meal. The chef cooked the food to perfection, there was simply everything to like. Highly recommended

Stayed at the hotel during the NYE period and have everything good to say about it. Joao and Olivia were extremely helpful to ensure our room was as per what we booked, and gave us tips on how to avoid the crowd during the NYE countdown. They were extremely helpful, and were willing to go out of the way at all times to ensure our stay was pleasant. Would definitely come back. Thank you for making our stay amazing! Keep the good job up!

We were very happy with our stay at the Thistle. We arrived early before check-in, hoping to leave a bag while we went out to explore, but were told our room was all ready and we could get in early, which was a lovely surprise. The room it self was comfortable and clean. The location was an easy walk to many of the areas we planned on visiting (West End, Chinatown, Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, The National Gallery, St. James Park, Soho, etc.) The room was fairly quiet at night, considering we were only a few blocks from a busy area. As an added bonus, the room came with water bottles, coffee, tea and biscuits that were refreshed daily. I would definitely recommend the Thistle in Trafalgar Square.

We stayed here for our family vacation to London. This is a great location, and within mins of everything. Very convenient walking distance to major entertainment and food options. The staff here are amazing and helpful. The place is very clean and our entire room was full windows and views! Now, the only issue I had was the bathroom. Fixtures were loose, I needed to tighten the shower head myself. Some of the tiles were cracked, the toilet seat was loose, and the toilet paper holder fell off the wall. The worst part was that shower controls were very loose and hard to get a temperature every use. Other than that, the bed was very comfortable, we had a lot of closet space and a mini fridge in our room. Across the street, there are amazing options for a quick breakfast, too. And one block up, you will find many options for dining and entertainment.

Hotel is fine- room was clean ish and bed very comfy and very big. Location is everything and the reason for the price tag- far from luxury- and the walls are pretty thin- you can hear people talking straight through the walls.

We came here for dinner having never been before, and were thoroughly impressed. The food was so lovely and fresh, and were very accommodating towards a dietary requirement. Our server, Paulina W, was really friendly and informative, and gave us fab recommendations for food. She went above and beyond with serving us and made the experience that much more enjoyable.

Stumbled across this wonderful place by accident whilst hungry and thirsty on our trip. Our waiter was Javier R, and he was great at helping us look through the menu and recommending drinks. Everything we had was delicious! The best food we have eaten in a long time. We will be back! The atmosphere was delightful, and even though it was busy, we were given time to think and choose our meals. Thank you! It was your colourful window display that caught my attention. Our family favourite film is Coco.... now I want to visit Mexico 🇲🇽

My friend & I went for a meal after work without booking. We’ve been seated immediately. The waitress ( Ruyman Camacho) who came in to take our orders was such a fabulous host. Ruyman was so welcoming, friendly, his energy is just what you need while in a restaurant. Thank you for taking care of us & many thanks for the candle & chorizo for my birthday. Such a wonderful touch 💚. We ordered small plates variety. Everything was so tasty. The overall atmosphere was absolutely great. Enjoyed my time and going back again for sure.

Went here with my family for the first time. The staff were all lovely and I was instantly made welcome. The food was divine (and yes that includes the vegan one!) and they dealt with the allergy at our table superbly. Even the pick eaters were satisfied with the options and taste. Will definitely be visiting again!

Great variety of Mexican food. Although the tortillas used for the tacos seemed a tad hard, maybe slightly overdone? Felt some of the tacos lacked an intense flavour to them but otherwise great food! The beef tacos were the best! Service was great, very friendly and quick, lots of seating.

We came here on New Year’s Eve for our first afternoon tea experience with other family members that are experienced tea drinkers. Restaurant was still decorated very nicely for Christmas. Tea, sandwiches, scones, and desserts were all very good and filling. Everyone especially loved the chocolate dessert! Our 9 year old enjoyed all of the food, our 7 year old was a bit more picky, but there were enough options for her to eat and enjoy. Everyone enjoyed their tea very much too. The elderflower pear tea was nice and sweet (even without sugar) a good introductory tea for my son who hasn’t tried much tea before. The English breakfast was very nice too. For my daughter, they made her a special hot chocolate and she loved it! Alex was our server and was so patient and kind with our kids and answered all of our questions. He was thorough in asking about allergies and made adjustments for one of our family members. We had a wonderful time at our first tea because Alex was so attentive! We would return here again for tea or a meal!

Absolutely fantastic!! We had the Christmas lunch and it was fantastic from beginning to end. We will be back!! Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. Plus the Mocktails were delicious, it's so nice to be able to have a good meal out and have a drink too with out the alcohol. I also have an allergy and they were on it !! They had my food separated and gave suggestions for items I couldn't have!! Felt so safe in eating . We appreciate your time, service and atmosphere it was amazing.

It was great, lovely staff very helpful and friendly. Kept asking if I was ok. The breakfast was very large, the sausages were seasoned and tasty. Nice tomatoes on the vine. Great sourdough bread. Lovely fresh fried eggs. The breakfast was very large and filing. Would definitely visit again and would recommend it to anyone.

I went there for a company Christmas lunch.Amazing staff. Great food. Also has smaller rooms, but as we were only enough for one table, in the room that we got, there were about 4 different events at the same time, so when trying to have a civilised conversation, we had to scream as if we were in a pub with sky sports and England was playing. Also 10% automatically added to your bill. I know that goes 100% to the staff, but I also always feel it's just an excuse to pay the staff less.
