This hotel has the best location!!! The hotel is just a few stops from all the sights and is beautifully centrally located. The perfect location is that it's situated next to a small park, so there's no disturbance or noise from the busy city. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The staff is super friendly and very helpful! We had a truly fantastic experience! I highly recommend this hotel and will book it again when I return to London!

Overall, a nice hotel - handy location, cool interiors, cosy bed with good quality bedding, nice breakfast, polite service, and it's not noisy. However, the room was very cold, with no option to put the temperature up (only the cold aircon setting was working). At the end of October heating function should already be available, and temperature in the room should be at least 20c at all times - not in its "teens". Shower was also lukewarm even at the hottest setting. I would like to come back during the summer, but would be afraid to be this cold again during another winter stay.

Wonderful! Everything was perfect. Rooms are large, comfortable and clean. Staff is nice. Location is central, well connected with the subway and reasonable distance from main touristic sites. The restaurant of the hotel is also great.

We had a lunch for 26 people at the Barbican Malmaison brasserie. Excellent service from Ahmed and Violetta, who looked after us personally and very efficiently throughout and couldn’t do enough for us to make out occasion smooth and enjoyable. The food was excellent and everyone was pleased with the venue. Many thanks to all involved.

A very well located hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and it’s nice to get a freshly made to order breakfast rather than buffet. Our room on the ground floor was a little dark but for the price was good value The square the hotel is on is delightful and considering how central it is, very quiet. We will return

After living in the UK for a year, I finally found the time to visit this legendary restaurant. The madeleines at St. John are often called the best in London, but the restaurant’s reputation extends far beyond its desserts. Founder Fergus Henderson pioneered the philosophy of nose-to-tail eating and was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Cai Lan himself once declared it “the best restaurant in London.” The space is minimalist and calm; the white interior makes the whole restaurant feel bright and open. Sunlight pours in through the windows, giving everything a gentle warmth. Roast Bone Marrow and Parsley Salad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bread toasted to a perfect crisp. Bone marrow sprinkled with sea salt — rich, savoury, deeply fatty. The salad opens with a touch of lemon acidity, followed by the clean, slightly bitter freshness of parsley. Pigeon, Chard and Anchovy ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tender pigeon with savoury depth and a hint of gaminess, along with a light fermented acidity reminiscent of pickled greens. However, the leg portion felt a bit rough. Madeleines (One Dozen) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Soft, sweet and fragrant; warm and lightly crisp on the outside, moist and airy within. Buttery and wheaty aromas interlace — simple, comforting, and genuinely delicious. Chocolate Mousse ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Smooth and dense texture; rich yet balanced with just the right blend of bitterness and sweetness. Total bill: £91.91 Recommendation score: 9/10

A lovely space, really nice flow in the dining area. Food was a disappointment unfortunately, given the stellar reviews and the star. Pork tongue was the star of the show. We were recommended the bone marrow but was bland and definitely below average, crab toast was very wet and pasty. Good to try it, but won’t be returning.

St John. Any foodie knows the name. The trouble here is finding what works for your palette. The server did an excellent job at navigating us through the menu. When I’m back in town here’s my order: 3 bone marrow and toast, 2 date loafs. Seriously. The pig face soup special was killer as well.

Visiting St. JOHN was an unforgettable experience. This legendary Michelin-starred restaurant delivers incredible traditional British cuisine with a focus on nose-to-tail cooking. Every dish was full of flavour, and the attention to detail was exceptional. What truly made the evening special, though, was the staff – every member was welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive, making the experience effortless and memorable. A must-visit for anyone looking for a quintessentially British fine dining experience.
Daria Mal - a month ago

St John is quite the culinary institution where offal is concerned. The food presentation is unpretentious and fuss-free, and the flavour comes through. Not for everyone, but definitely interesting for the adventurous amongst us. There was a bit of a long gap between appetizers and main course, which dimmed the experience slightly. Overall, St John is a must-try for the foodies.

My partner secretly booked this restaurant for my birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The staff were so welcoming and knowledgeable, which made us feel truly taken care of. We chose the full set menu with wine pairing, and every dish was incredible. As a French person, I can be a bit critical when it comes to food (we French take it very seriously 😉), but here everything was simply perfect. One highlight for me was an artichoke dish by Chef Pascal, with just one bite, it brought me straight back to a childhood memory. It’s truly amazing when a chef can create food that evokes such deep emotions! We were also very grateful to the Chef and his team for taking the time to show us around the kitchen and share a moment with us. It made the evening feel even more special and memorable. I had the most wonderful birthday celebration here, and it’s an experience I’ll always remember. Thank you so much to the whole team!

Such a great find and will definitely be coming back. We booked Club Gascon for a birthday meal and had a bottle of wine pre-bought as a surprise. The waiter was extremely accommodating with this and it was brought out straight away. Everything we ordered was so tasty and presented beautifully. The set menu is also such great value for the quality of food. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful evening at the Club Gascon on 7th August. The food is of an amazing standard complemented by original and unique presentations which really add to the whole culinary experience. Everyone of the dishes was delicious. The service was attentive, friendly and professional. The atmosphere was relaxed and sophisticated in a decor of impeccable standard. We really enjoyed everything about the evening, will definitely return and would recommend. We certainly feel that the price was very reasonable for the quality of this experience. A big thank you to the team for a very lovely evening making our special occasion perfect.
Marie-Helene McKeown - 3 months ago

Club Gascon offers a refined, inventive cuisine in a beautiful warm and cozy setting. The food is of superb quality, and although not every dish in their 6 or 8 courses menu will please everyone, the quality of the food and the creativity of the pairings makes it an enriching dining experience. The service is very kind and attentive. I would recommend the wine pairing as it paired beautifully with the food, and was very tasty. The restaurant more than deserves its Michelin star, and in my opinion is a must-visit for anyone looking for a calm fine dining experience in London. The setting of the restaurant is also fantastic around Smithfield Market, on the northern boundary of the City of London, a stone’s throw away from Farringdon Elizabeth Line station entrance.

We dined here, ordering the 3 course menu before a 730 concert at St. Paul’s cathedral. The reviews of this place were not as glowing as some other options a bit further away, but we opted for a place that was easily walkable. I’m giving 3 stars bc 1 star can seem hyperbolic but honestly as it relates to food, it was a beautifully plated one star. First the positives. Both our fish and duck were cooked perfectly. For first course Wife had the faux gras (walnut) and it was interesting on the first bite but mushy and not compelling after that. I got the other option and I’m not entirely sure what i got. Every single element of the creatively plated dish was unpleasant. The salty fingers were not pleasant alone and not treated with any technique to make them interesting (maybe pickling or candying them would have made them interesting). The other elements seemed to be some sort of root that was supposed to be a vehicle for the garnishes but the sauces were unpleasant. I tried them all as some different bite combination to try to find the interesting bite. I never found it. For the mains, I got the duck. The cook was perfect and the potatoes were great. The sauce on top was some sort of raspberry glaze that seemed about as complex as some $3 raspberry bbq sauce that I could get at a grocery store. The truly greatest flaw was in my wife’s fish/curry dish. My wife took one bite and commented that her mouth was entirely overwhelmed with salt. I tasted her fish and it was fine, so I tasted a piece with the curry surrounding it and that was the source of what seemed to be an entire box of salt. I’m not talking about just salted above preference, I’m talking about something that tastes like someone unscrewed the salt shaker top as a joke and the entire container was poured in. She could not enjoy anything after and picked around to try to salvage the other elements but left mostly unfinished. I don’t think we have ever sent a dish back but we joked that perhaps today was the day. We didn’t but when they were cleaning up, we did comment to the waiter that it was inedible. I think we expected them to taste the curry in the kitchen and realize that someone had made a serious error of proportion. But the service continued as if everything was perfect. Dessert was very delayed. (We had informed them the day prior of our time constraints and they assured us we would have plenty of time.) maybe there was some staff missing from the kitchen? Bc there was only one other table in the entire restaurant for the entire evening we were there. The desserts were fine but we rushed a few bites bc we had to leave and pay. Part of this trips goal for us was to eat great food, completely unhindered by price…and it was delightful with 5 Michelin restaurants and many others that seemed very close. This one restaurant will be memorable for all the wrong reasons. My wife and I still have funny flash backs to how surreal the experience was. Honestly the whole experience made us think we were possibly in a hidden camera reality show where horrible food comes out beautifully plated and the guests are recorded, trying to convince themselves that the food is good. And the show just escalates with worse and worse dishes coming out. There was just one other couple in the restaurant and it seemed entirely more plausible that it was a reality show than the dishes actually being this bad…by the way, I would totally watch that reality show if someone wants to steal my idea.

Old Red Cow is a lovely pub tucked away on a quiet street not far from St. Paul’s Cathedral. We stopped by for some good beer and dinner — and we weren’t disappointed! The crowd seemed mostly local, with people chatting in pairs, which gave the place a warm and cozy vibe. It was pleasantly quiet and perfect for conversation. There’s a great selection of draft beers on tap, and the shepherd’s pie was delicious and tasted truly authentic. Friendly staff and great atmosphere — definitely recommend this spot! 🍺

What a freaking GEM of a pub! We went here 3 times in our 5 days in London. Extremely fair pricing. Good food and great staff. We hung out with one young bartender after he got off shift and had a great time and great conversation. Right near the historic Smithfield Market. Genuinely nice folks working here. I will seek it out on my next trip to London. You should too!

Had an outstanding Sunday lunch here. Portion size is very large. Meal for a day for me. Tried both roast pork and beef. Both excellently prepared with a large selection of vegetables, tasty gravy and Yorkshire pudding. Price is very reasonable given the quality of the meal. The bar is quiet on a Sunday since it’s in the middle of the city. Easy to reach location with the Barbican Elizabeth line exit opposite the bar. They have a Go group meeting on Monday night - kids and adults welcome. A special thanks to Cameron for providing very good service for our visit. Very highly recommended.

A great pub with great atmosphere, comfy sofa/chairs, a piano, a resident cat- and most importantly has a few boardgames. So essentially you can always come here with your friends and play (for free might I add- unlike those commercial and expensive boardgame pubs)

There are indoor and outdoor seating options. Compared to other pubs the outdoor seating is quite good and you don’t just have to stand. The area is by the main road but it’s peaceful. They have events on some nights such as live music etc. If you wish to sit indoor during peak summer, then do not le that there is no provision for air conditioning.

🚇 Barbican 🍺 £6.70 Moretti ❤️ A brutalist Barbican boozer. The Shakespeare sits on a corner of a crescent of shops and flats at the front end of the Golden Lane Estate EC1. The nearest Tube is Barbican which is only a two minute walk. The Shakespeare was built in 1964 and is Grade II listed. The name is inspired by the Bard himself, who lived some hundred metres away throughout his time in London. The is a one bar pub with a comedy club in the basement. The bar is set out in almost a “H” shape with the servery on the left hand side as you walk in. Even though this pub is traditionally decorated, due to the architecture of the building it does feel modern in here. The seating is a mix of elongated leatherette banquettes, a few poser tables and traditional tables and chairs. Around the walls are gold framed Elizabethan era repro portraits, mirrors and chalkboards with promotions. The beer choice was a straightforward selection of keg beers and ciders. I opted for a Moretti, decent enough pint but a bit pricey for this lager. There is a simple eclectic food menu comprising of Burgers, pasta and Toasties, a Ham & Cheese Toastie cost £5.95. I arrived around 4.30pm on a sunny Friday afternoon in July. The pub was fairly quiet as Fridays in the city are not as busy as they once was. There were a few punters sat inside, the majority were sat outside enjoying the summer sun and watching the world go by. The service here was excellent, the Guvnor is a bit of a character, he was jovial and set an upbeat tone. @theshakespearebarbican is not the most handsome of boozers you’ll come across and almost has an estate pub feel. I enjoyed my visit here primarily due to the pub’s location and sitting outside watching the comings and goings around the Barbican. This pub is worth a look of you’re in the area. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 07.07.23

The barmen were friendly. Happy hour cocktails (5-7pm) are valid when ordering the same drink. The food menu was quite limited but from the options available, we chose tortellini and a beef burger - both were delicious. Toilet facilities could be better.

This was our choice of a dinner venue after visiting The Piano works. It is a small intimate restaurant and wine bar which was busy, but still had a nice relaxed feel about it. We enjoyed an excellent bottle of Rose wine and several dishes from the very interesting menu. The food lends itself to being enjoyed as a sharing type meal similar to tapas. The Venison meatballs were outstanding. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ate. A little gem of a wine bar.

Wow! From my very first contact with Vinoteca to walking out the door after an amazing lunch, the service from Leon, Ludovic and the team at Vinoteca Farringdon was absolutely first-class. We were a group of 13 celebrating a special occasion and had the private dining room downstairs, along with the Chef’s Menu. Every email was answered quickly and helpfully in advance, and on arrival, the room had been set up beautifully. At a time when eating out in London can be expensive and often disappointing, this was the complete opposite. The food, service, and atmosphere were exceptional — one of our group even said it was the best meal out they’ve had in ages, and I completely agree. Thank you to everyone at Vinoteca Farringdon — I honestly can’t recommend you highly enough!

Very nice place for a good selection of food and wine. Overall, the atmosphere is relaxed and the service is friendly and attentive. Had a very lovely Cornas wine from the northern Rhône region, chosen from their ‘not coming back’ wine list. Had a nice selection of small dishes, all very delicious. The dessert weren’t fantastic, but tasty nonetheless. Would absolutely be happy to come back!

Three words come to mind when describing last night’s experience: immersive, unique, and memorable. We were party of four celebrating not one, but two birthdays, ahead of the festive period. We had a very special evening, which featured friendly service, tasty food, and a truly unique dining concept. I can only recommend this restaurant, which while expensive, is a well designed and enjoyable culinary experience. Billy, our guide and waiter, was excellent and a key part of our positive visit to this restaurant. He was friendly, conversational, and fun, which was welcomed by our group as we engaged in some jovial verbal exchanges. We even received two Happy Birthday shoutouts! A fantastic evening and we recommend groups of a similar size to us visit Dans le Noir ? to experience this restaurant for themselves.

We had an amazing dining experience in the dark at dans les noir, the waiting staff were absolutely fantastic and exceptional good at what they do. We had Courtney as our waitress and she was so lovely and helpful! We could not see anything so it got our taste buds guessing. The food was really good and I would highly recommend anyone to go and give ‘eating in the dark’ a go - such a unique experience, thank you x

Gal was introduced as our waiter for the evening, and he welcomed us at the entrance to the dining room, explaining everything clearly. When we entered Gal’s domain, the atmosphere instantly shifted. Most of the staff are visually impaired or blind, making them the perfect guides. The front of house team were fantastic too welcoming, organised, and really setting the tone for the whole experience. Gal explained everything clearly where the water and cutlery were, how the table was set, and the layout of the room without revealing anything about the food. Nothing prepares you for the complete darkness. Once inside, it was impossible to tell whether my eyes were open or closed. We laughed as we fumbled for our glasses and cutlery, and more than once I felt like I was using a claw machine, hoping the fork actually made it to my mouth. Every successful bite felt like a small achievement. After a few minutes, your senses really start to open up, and you notice sounds, textures, and flavours so much more intensely. The food was incredible, even though I’ll never know what it looked like, and the cocktails were amazing too. The staff confirmed our booking and dietary requirements seamlessly, making the whole experience feel comfortable and well-organised. This was a 10 out of 10 experience and one of the best and most unique I’ve ever had. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for something memorable and completely different.

My wife and I dined here in August 2025 and were served by the very witty and extremely professional Gawl.The food was very tasty, the experience is truly unique and like nothing we have done before. When you read its pitch black, it really is. Like you can hold your own hand an inch in front of your face and you still will not see it. This did not put us off in any way, but please do bear it in mind before booking. If it's not for you, that's ok, just know what you are signing up to. Before you enter the room they do take for safekeeping anything that can be reflective (like a wristwatch), but not things like diamond earrings and/or rings (so image how dark it really is if they are not worried about the diamond absorbing and reflecting the light back)! Also, if you need to, you can leave the dark dining space and visit the restroom during the dining experience, but we didn't as that would have "broke up" the atmosphere of truly dining in the dark. All in all, I highly recommend this to anyone who does not have issues with "the dark". I would not repeat the experience as it really is the element of surprise which made it so fascinating for us (like how will you "see" what you are eating - spoiler alert - you dont, and sometimes have to resort to helping yourself with your hands to ensure food is on the cutlery, which sounds counterintuitive, I know!), but I am very happy we did it once. Also, we were told that the menu changes every six months or so, so you can visit twice a year to surprise your taste palette, if you would like. In summary, I would definitely recommend at least one visit in your life and hopefully you get Gawl who made the whole two plus hours fly by! P.S. 1 I have not taken any photos so not to spoil your experiences. P.S.2. Kudos to the restaurant owners for employing blind and visually impiared people. On a very serious note, this restaurant experiences is really exceptionally informative of what it is like for blind and visually impaired people. Of course, the fact that the customer gets to return to their everyday life, whilst those who are blind or visually impaired do not leave this "darkness" is not lost on anyone who gives it a bit of a thought. Really makes you appreciate the "givens" in life!

I was bought a gift voucher for myself and visited solo. What I enjoyed - service, all the servers are visually impaired and excellent guides. Giving clear instructions to orientate you to and when at your table. They gave clear instructions as to what was happening and when. All the staff are great and make you feel welcome and talk you through the experience. What I didn’t enjoy - it’s a surprise menu so you no idea what you are eating (which is the point) but strange when it comes to eating something you haven’t ordered. It’s dark, very very dark to the point you cannot see your hand in front of your face. It’s communal dining with strangers, which for some people is good , for me it put me off. It is also expensive. I paid £105, inv service charge, for a 2 course set menu which included 1 wine and then 2 drinks extra Overall - not for me. Some people may love it. I would not recommend this as a solo diner. The 2 stars is more a reflection of the experience and not the food or service

Smiths of Smithfield had good food, but poor service and a busy atmosphere. Upon arrival, we were seated and waited 15+ minutes for a server to come to us to order drinks or food. When we were first approached, we asked for a specific bottle of wine and were told we could not order the bottle through the waitress but had to wait for the sommelier (despite knowing what we wanted). We waited another 5-10 minutes until she came and we were able to order. Then a few more minutes for the server to come take our order. We were seated at least 20 minutes total before we were helped with anything. The starters were good - the steak tartare, oysters, and scallops were all tasty.We ordered the t-bone and chateaubriand both medium rare, but I much preferred the t-bone, though it was cut with so much meat left on the bone. The ox cheek mash was the highlight of the meal. Overall, the service was unfortunately what left me wanting more. Between the long waits & asking the waitress for more water twice (and never receiving it), we were disappointed. The place was very noisy, which I am not accustomed to for a “steakhouse”. At the end, after ordering over 600 pounds worth of food, we went to order dessert and they were out of what we wanted. When we asked to modify the ice cream flavor on a second dessert, the waitress said it was just “too busy to ask the servers to change something”. After paying so much, I would really have appreciated simply changing out an ice cream flavor, but that wasn’t provided.

Had a lovely meal at Smiths of Smithfield. Went with a group of four and we ordered a decent amount of dishes: steak tartare, smoked salmon, scallops, oysters, beef cheek mash, the T-bone steak, and the Chateaubriand. Everything was delicious. Out of the starters my favorite was the beef tartare. Both of the steaks were great but I leaned more towards the T-bone. Lastly, the beef cheek mash was amazing. I highly recommend you order it.

I was very satisfied with the restaurant and strongly recommend it! For a starter, I had a Smoked salmon, devon crab, fennel, orange, brown crab mayo, salmon roe which was delicious! I never tried the combination of orange and salmon before, it was a very successful combination. For main dish, I had 9oz Dairy Cow sirloin, watercress, pickled shallots, ox cheek gravy, truffle chips. Very tasty and very generous portion! For dessert, I had Dark chocolate & cherry gâteaux, sour cherry ice cream, which was great too! The atmosphere was very cozy with low to moderate noise and the service was excellent!

We came mid week and our reservation was for 13:30. On an overcast autumn day we had the balcony area to ourselves. Smiths unique selling point is the quality of their meat, and that reputation is well earned. The grilled mackerel was a tasty starter that left me wanting more! For main course 3 blokes with hearty appetites shared the Scotch Chateaubriand. It was cooked medium rare and tasted superb. (This dish would stretch to 4 people with moderate appetites). Our waitress was attentive and friendly and my only regret is that by the time we settled the bill she had finished her shift, and we did not get to thank her personally. A return trip is definitely on the cards. A relaxing atmosphere and a culinary delight with great service.

We got married here in June 2023 and couldn't be happier with our venue choice. The entire planning process was very smooth due to the very helpful Matilda who was a huge help in making sure our wedding planning was stress-free and our day was perfect. The venue is the perfect location for a London wedding as the streets are very quiet at the weekends meaning our guests could all enjoy drinks outside and we could get some fantastic photos without hardly anyone around at all. The food was a stand out part of our day, with countless guests telling us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! The menu options are great and we could not fault the food at all. Overall we had a great experience at Balfour St Barts and could not recommend it enough as a wedding venue!
