5 Star Rating A perfect way to end our last day in London! This restaurant really hit the spot. The décor is beautiful, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The portion sizes were good and reasonably priced, especially considering the central location and overall dining experience. The French toast and croissant were particularly delicious, and even the vegetarian option was full of flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting London.

5 Star Rating The Wolseley offers a relaxed but smart dining experience with fantastic food and great customer service. We had wedding anniversary dinner and wanted a specific dessert (to remind us of our honeymoon 40yrs ago. It was not on the menu but I contacted them in advance and made a special request and they were very happy to oblige. Many thanks for a memorable meal

5 Star Rating Impeccable and thoughtful service, excellent food, classic venue. Designed with care. I had come on a recommendation from my friend and walked in for a late lunch around 2:30PM. It did not disappoint. On entry they ask if you would like to select a newspaper to read (Financial times, Guardian and one other), which I loved, and served a complimentary bread basket as soon as you are seated. It was busy, but was able to be seated straight away and noise was noticeable but still a comfortable level. I ordered the goujons of haddock starter, calf liver with bacon for the main and still water. Everything was impeccable - the goujons had a beautiful golden crisp, lightly seasoned and went well with the accompanying aioli and lemon - I could eat these endlessly. The liver was smooth, slightly tender and moist with a soft pink centre. My waiter (wish I had gotten his name!) was beyond fantastic- checked in frequently to make sure everything was going well - even came to tell me when he was going on a short break and introduced me to who would be looking after me during this time. I was about to leave and my waiter had just come back so asked me to wait a moment and surprised me with a dessert on the house, which was like chef's kiss to an already fantastic experience. Thank you!

5 Star Rating I’ve come here three times for both breakfast and lunch, and it has quickly become my go-to place in London. The food is delicious, refined, and consistently excellent. The service is outstanding as well—the staff are always attentive, make sure you have water, and are genuinely welcoming and helpful. I always feel well taken care of and look forward to coming back.

4 Star Rating Came to B&L as a highly recommended place and had great service from Karen. The lobster smash burger was good, with fantastic fries! The only thing that fell short was the amount of lobster in the lobster roll - for £32 (equivalent to $60 CAD) we would've expected much more, especially when compared to another reviewer's roll a year ago (shared here as well)!

5 Star Rating Anyone after a long day at work, we human usually get get tired and will not give our best performance. But not here! We had a reservation at 9:45 PM and that's last minute with the final order. I was served by an Ecuadorian girl named Karen. She was lovely, very welcoming, and had a great chat with her. Another one was Jordan and he too was amazing. Not sure who the cook was but the food was amazing. If you have an amazing food and the service is nice, then it is more than perfect. I highly recommend this place for sure.

5 Star Rating I almost wish I hadn’t discovered this place… because now I constantly crave it. Every time I’ve visited Burger & Lobster in Mayfair, the experience has been consistently good. The restaurant is always clean, well presented, and has a slightly eclectic style with artwork that really stands out and adds to the overall vibe. The food is the main highlight — the iconic burger and lobster combination is exactly what you’d hope for. Full of flavour, really satisfying, and one of those meals you genuinely look forward to having again. It comes with fries, and the portion size is generous — to the point where it’s actually a bit of a challenge to finish it all. For the quality and portion, it also feels like good value for money, especially considering the location in Mayfair. The only downside for me is that I don’t live closer — being based in Leicester means it’s not somewhere I can just pop into whenever the cravings hit. That said, it’s well worth planning a visit around. Mayfair is a great area to spend the day, and this makes the perfect dinner spot to finish it off. I’ll definitely be back — and would highly recommend it.

5 Star Rating Had such a lovely Sunday roast at Langan’s! The beef was incredibly tender and juicy, and the pork was just as impressive. The pork had the perfect crispy crackling on the outside, while the meat underneath was so tender, full of flavour, and had absolutely no unpleasant porky smell at all. We also ordered the crab and prawn as starters, and both were really fresh and delicious. What I especially loved was how well everything was paired together — the savoury dishes, sides and desserts all complemented each other so nicely. Every part of the meal felt thoughtfully put together. Definitely one of the better Sunday roasts I’ve had in London!

5 Star Rating Before leaving London, I finally got to try a traditional Sunday roast at Langan’s Brasserie, and it did not disappoint! It was my first time trying a Sunday roast, and I absolutely devoured the whole plate. The meat was tender, the Yorkshire pudding was delicious, and everything was well-seasoned and comforting. The restaurant itself had a lovely atmosphere, and the service was warm and attentive, which made the experience even better. I’m so glad I got to try this classic British meal before flying home. It was the perfect way to end my London trip, and I’d definitely come back the next time I’m in the city.

4 Star Rating Food did not disappoint for a famous spot like Langan’s, though I’d say the starters outperformed the mains (the Dover sole was a bit greasy for my taste). Asked for my wine to be served later but was forgotten. The staff were friendly though, and I loved the interior design. I would’ve rated the atmosphere higher if we were not sat right next to a large group pre-drinking for some event (and we were amongst the earliest booking that day so would’ve expected them to move us to a further table) - the noise kinda ruined the first half of the lunch!

5 Star Rating We recently dined at Novikov Mayfair and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. To begin, we ordered the Spicy Prawn Moneybags and the King Crab Tacos. Both starters were absolutely outstanding. The Moneybags were packed with flavour, perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of spice, while the King Crab Tacos were fresh, vibrant and incredibly delicious. For our main course, we chose the Peking duck, which is served in two courses. The first course featured beautifully crispy duck served with pancakes and all the traditional accompaniments. The second course was a duck stir-fry with chillies, bean sprouts and sauce, which was equally impressive and a great way to enjoy the rest of the duck. We also had the steamed whole Dover sole with ginger and spring onion, accompanied by fried rice and yellow curry vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. The Dover sole was particularly impressive, delicate and full of flavour, while the sides complemented the dishes wonderfully. Service was very good throughout the meal. I was particularly pleased with both our waiter and the sommelier, who provided attentive, professional and friendly service. On previous visits, the service had been a little hit or miss, so it was great to see such a noticeable improvement. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience. The food was exceptional, the service was first-class, and every dish we ordered was thoroughly enjoyable. I would highly recommend Novikov Mayfair and look forward to returning.

5 Star Rating What an incredible Father’s Day! My wife and daughter surprised me with the most thoughtful gift — a cooking masterclass at Novikov. It turned out to be so much more than just a cooking class. We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast, shared lots of laughs, and learned how to prepare grilled squid, seabream in Mediterranean sauce, and the famous Chocolate Cigar dessert. The food was amazing, but the real highlight was the people. Huge thanks to the chef and the entire team for their warmth, professionalism, and passion. You made us feel welcome from the very first minute. Five-star staff, great vibes, unforgettable memories, and a truly special day with my family. Thank you, Novikov!

5 Star Rating We visited the Italian section of Noviko and had a lovely experience. We ordered the Black Truffle Mushroom pizza and the seafood grill, and both were very tasty and well prepared. The pizza had a rich truffle flavor and the seafood was fresh and nicely cooked. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant is comfortable and beautifully designed, creating a relaxed atmosphere. It was slightly on the expensive side, but overall a great dining experience and worth visiting.

5 Star Rating What an amazing restaurant! One venue with two huge dining rooms—one Italian and one Asian. We dined in the Asian dining room, and wow… what an experience! From start to finish, everything was fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, attentive, and genuinely engaging, which made the whole evening even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding, especially the seafood—so fresh and full of flavor! You can actually pick your own seafood straight from their fish market, which is such a fun touch. Fun fact: they even sell vegetables market-style, as if you’re grocery shopping—very cool! We enjoyed a bottle of sake, and I loved the way they decanted it in this super cool sake holder. The sashimi was absolutely fantastic—beautifully fresh—and the grilled fish with grilled mushrooms was perfection. Every single bite was delicious. I had such a fantastic time and highly recommend this restaurant. On my next trip to London, I can’t wait to come back and try the Italian dining room too!

This is a pity as it is beautiful, with a view of the park, and is less formal than the dining room. The bar is fine but not the same. Lovely menu and reasonable prices. Please consider keeping this room available, even if only for tea and cake!

5 Star Rating I have said it once and more than happy to say it again the Aubaine French toast is one of my favourites. Since going I have been informed that the French toast has changed I assume it’s a seasonal shift, it’s now a cinnamon French toast. However this traditional French toast was delectable I’ve had it multiple times, great quality control, it never disappointed. I’m looking forward to trying the Aubaine new cinnamon French toast because they’ve had a great track record based on my personal experiences.

5 Star Rating So the fork had a deal for food and we wanted to try it out as we haven't been to this location. It's a hidden gem of a location which you would walk past if you didn't know about it. I love the decorations they have used it feels very exotic and fun. We ordered the calamari which was lovely and fresh. Baked vacherin which was delicious a rich cheese that is messy but god does it task amazing. Miso aubergine which the miso sauce is so tasty and it's difficult to just have a bit of it. The chicken supreme it was so tender to eat and every bite just again makes you want more. The lobster pasta had that rich flavour and my girlfriend loved it. We shared it was half price so we went to town. The desserts are my favourite here. We had the millefleur which the filling is so lovely and you wish they just put it in a bowl for you to scoop. The pear tart had this home made goodness that reminds you of that skilled aunt that made amazing sweet goodness. The chocolate and coffee cake wasn't that rich and it was okay. They did a valentine's chocolate cake which was amazing I wish they did it again. Service was wonderful and they took excellent care of us. I highly recommend here and look on the fork app for deals and with the receipt they give you 20% off. If you found my review helpful please press like. Thank you so much.

4 Star Rating My partner and I came here because we were drawn by the lobster pasta. We're going through a phase at the moment and are trying multiple restaurants serving such a dish. We ordered the wagyu katsu sando. The lobster pasta and a millefeuille for dessert. The lobster pasta was exceptional. Fresh lobster tail, was tender and flavourful and accompanied very well with the lobster basque sauce of the pasta. Wasn't too salty and burst of flavour with every bite. However for £40, it was on the pricier side of dishes on the menu. The wagyu sando was quite disappointing. The beef was tough, but very well seasoned. I understand it isn't A5 Wagyu, and they use British wagyu but I at least expected to not have to tear through the meat with my canines like I were eating a rump steak. The highlight of the night was the millefeuille. Decently priced and was a massive portion compared to patisseries around London. The cream was soft and sweet. Delicate and melted in the mouth. The pastry wasn't too flaky but just the right texture. It almost had me ordering another. The service was great! The waiter didn't hesitate with any questions we had and checked up on us throughout dinner to ensure we were satisfied. Water glasses were never left empty!

2 Star Rating The least tasty salad I've ever tried was at Aubaine Maifaire London. It consisted of five wedges of Chinese cabbage coated in a tangy white sauce, two slices of overcooked and dried-out chicken breast (2 cm * 10 cm) without salt but with a strong bitterness of black stale pepper, one anchovy - just one! - and three very thin slices of Parmesan measuring 1.5 cm * 1.5 cm. It was an entirely dry and flavorless salad with a bitter taste. When I asked for additional white sauce, the waiter brought sour mayonnaise. I never knew that Caesar salad could contain mayonnaise 🫢. The price for this displeasure was £22!!! I would have liked to request a refund, but the situation didn't allow for it. Have a good day, everyone!

5 Star Rating Both my partner and I loved this place. We were tucked away at the back as requested in the reservation form. The live music was great with good song choices and not too loud. The food was also good although lacking a bit of salt the menu selection is not too diverse but there are some vegetarian options some small issues we experienced: we asked for tapwater and received a bottle, the menu didn’t specify mushrooms in one of the dishes (dietary restriction), and the food took a while to come. However, the staff were kind and patient, which is very appreciated.

5 Star Rating My fiancé and I recently spent a truly pleasant evening at Quaglino’s in Mayfair, and it exceeded our expectations. While the food was delicious, what truly stole the show was the impeccable service. A special shoutout goes to Gaz and Matthew, who went above and beyond for us. They were incredibly attentive and facilitating, making sure we were well taken care of from the moment we sat down until the moment we left. They truly made our night feel special. To top it all off, we had the absolute pleasure of listening to two incredible live singers during our meal. Pro tip: Try to get a table right next to the stage! Sitting next to the performance really makes all the difference and creates an amazing, immersive atmosphere.

Sometimes the service was delayed especially as it got busier - overall it was acceptable. After bottomless brunch we spent time at the bar - delicious cocktails and good service. I included a bathroom selfie because the ladies toilets have the black and white background that looks great against a bright outfit (mine was not bright lol).

3 Star Rating Automat is okay in pretty much every sense. Apart from the pricing, which is slightly bonkers but suitably Mayfair. I went for breakfast and enjoyed my smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast (hard to get wrong really) but later wished I went for the french toast with bacon. Or the waffles with strawberries and cream. Or any of the other American classics on the brunch menu. Unfortunately I have to agree about the surly staff - I know it's before 9am but would it hurt to crack a smile? It's certainly not the best place in London for American food but it's not a bad option. If someone else is paying.

3 Star Rating Automat was the next stop on the quest for the best burger in London but what a disappointing time. One of my friends had told me about this place reputed to have a juicy burger and some excellent truffle mac'n'cheese. They will also adapt your burger however you want it, regardless of what is specified on the menu. It sounded interesting so we gave it a go. The entry was fine with a gracious doorman and very friendly (and attractive) hostesses. Actually, the staff were the highlight with a very friendly and welcoming manner. However, it all went down hill from there. To start off, our table for two was barely bigger than a pizza and placed in the most awkward position (quite literally in the doorway) despite having booked ahead of time. I know tables for two tend to get short shrift, but that's a bit far. The burger arrived and visually it looked pretty damn good. However, like most things, it started to fall apart (quite literally). The key attributes of a good burger are the patty, the toppings, and of course the bun. The patty was alright, nothing special but slightly overcooked. The toppings of cheese, bacon, tomato, and lettuce was absolutely perfectly balanced with enough salt to keep it tasty but not too much grease to make it oily. The bun is where is all collapsed with each bite sending the top bun crumbling away. It was as if they had stored it in an airing cupboard then toasted what little life remained away. By the time I was halfway through, the top bun was nothing more than dust. Epic burger fail! The truffle mac and cheese was well truffled. However, be warned, it's so rich that each bite gives you a heart attack. Still, it's worth the years off the life for a taste of this truffle-based goodness. Oh, I will admit the fries (skinny fries) with the burger were top notch and I could easily have made a meal of them. Cocktails however, for a NYC bistro, are pitiful. The Manhattan is made with Canadian Club (when did that become an acceptable Scoth whiskey?) and over diluted. You can request a better quality alcohol but it won't make much difference sadly. All in all, one cocktail, two burgers, and a large order of truffle mac'n'cheese came to just over 70 squids. It's quite hefty price to pay for a mediocre burger and a watery cocktail. Automat, I hope your other food is better but when it comes to burgers it's time to get your act together!

3 Star Rating I'm not sure what's happened to Automat, but this place used to be brill - now, there are rips in the leather booths. Fine if you're MeatLiquor, but not fine if you charge £60 for a burger, a salad, mac'n'cheese and two drinks. Yes, the drinks were good (amaretto sour, especially) but the food really varied. Burger was dense and meaty, but the mac and cheese was a pale, pale shadow of Spuntino's or - well, anywhere really. The crowd was awful (braying table of hedge funders, women in beige cashmere wraps) and the waitress lost us a little when we walked into an absolutely empty restaurant at 6.30pm to be told we could only have our table for an hour. Fine, especially with quick food, but we then spent 10 minutes getting the bill from the increasingly surly staff. With hefty service charge added.

5 Star Rating The fact that this is a New York style American Brasserie in the heart of London almost automatically qualified it as a GLP. It was the Return of the Mac and Cheese (here it is) however that sealed the deal. Not for the faint walleted, this pricey establishment is all about the relaxed, stylish end of dining. That’s not to say it’s not buzzy - it still has the heart of NYC pulsing through it. There are a couple of areas where you might find yourself eating; in the wood-panelled ‘railway carriage’ middle section of the restaurant with leather booths and moody desk lamp lighting. Either that or you’ll probably be in the main space, all white tiles and wood. The chef’s table next to the open kitchen is definitely worth booking if there are enough of you in tow. The menu is US of A to the max. Period. Jam-packed with steak and eggs, fluffy pancakes, waffles, burgers, and all sorts of other heart-attack inducing delights. The buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and blueberries are not to be missed.

4 Star Rating It is one of my favorite places in London but despite the cosy atmosphere in the first room, the good food and the fact that you can dictate when to order food or ask for the bill I think is a bit too priced. Moreover, watch out for the soap dispenser in men's room (if you press too hard it will spit soap just far enough to get on your trousers ;-)
