The Ivy is a fantastic place that serves British food. I loved the atmosphere and there was live music during our visit. We tried the main 2 dishes: shepards pie and haddock & chips. Both were tasty and their portions are big.

Beautiful place, friendly staff. The food was delicious although some of it was a bit pricey, but everything we got, we liked! When we go back, I want to get the fish and chips this time, my husband got it and it was great!

Took my husband here before our Theatre Show as a treat. Wow it was fantastic. The food was gorgeous and all the staff were a credit to the Ivy. Thank you all for a lovely and special evening. (Just wish I had seen Cliff Richard🤣 xx

There is a reason that the IV in the west end is famous! Great food, and such a fun atmosphere. We were absolutely lucky to get reservations right at the bar just prior to our viewing of The Mousetrap, and it was the perfect combination for a wonderful evening.

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.

National heritage pub in full glorious homage to the essence of a British pub. This is perfect for tourists to taste incredible pub architecture & pub connoisseurs to feast their eyes & on a pint. This classic corner pub is tardisesque as it expands to a much larger saloon behind the cut glass doors & windows. Highly decoratively cut glazing is extensively beautiful, lining every wall, window & partition. Set into ornately carved wood pillars & frames. The exuberance of the ornate vintage beauty includes the variety of aged patterned papered ceiling in a lattice of coved beams sitting on cut & decorated pillars. There's a large central oval bar with an original ornately carved wood back bar & more decoratively cut glass behind beautiful large cut glass droplet lamps. A cornerpiece staircase separates the main saloon from a hidaway corner. The side step & balustrade Victorian detailing leads into a sweeping arch. Perimeter leather studded bench coves are classy, private & decorated with vintage statue lamps dropping glass flower lamps over the figurines. The bar is well provisioned with a draught selection, tunes are subtle, modern pop over a calm crowd of Westenders. This is a pub that decorates the Victorian essence of a pre-theatre or any evening wealth is for the senses in the beauty of design & artchitecture.

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.

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

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.

This place is exactly what you want after walking all over London sight seeing. Super cozy and relaxed. The entire staff is accommodating. Fish and chips absolutely delicious- and the beers A++!

The food here was good but I think it’s overrated when people say this is the best roast. Those spuds were cold and over roasted. I was given a slice of each type of the roast beef, you get two carvings. The medium rare beef was definitely a better option as the well done is super tough. I would not be running to comeback here as it’s over priced for what you get. Feedback: more dairy/vegan desserts for inclusivity

This place is a fantastic British 🇬🇧 steakhouse! 🥩 🍴 Hawksmoor at Seven Dials serves exceptionally delicious 🤤 dishes 🍽️ - definitely get their Sunday Roast Beef 🍖 on Sunday! 📆 The staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly, welcoming, and professional, service is quick ⏲️, ambience 🎶 is wonderful, and the place is beautifully decorated! 🛋️ I wish I could come here more often!

If you’re searching for a top-tier steakhouse in London, Hawksmoor is a standout choice. Known for its exceptional cuts of meat, this renowned restaurant delivers high-quality dishes in a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. One of the highlights is their porterhouse steak, which is expertly cooked and full of flavor—one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Their house lager is also worth mentioning, as it pairs perfectly with the steak, enhancing the overall dining experience. Despite the upscale setting, the staff maintains a friendly and approachable demeanor, ensuring a welcoming and comfortable environment. Whether you’re a local or visiting London, Hawksmoor is a must-visit for steak lovers. I look forward to dining there again on my next trip.

Great place for dinner. Lovely and cozy atmosphere. Very friendly staff. The food here is amazing. We came for Sunday Roast but they were out, so we tried other things on the menu. They were all great. I would highly recommend the bone marrow and onions....too good.

We went to watch Warfare (which is a must watch!) The cinema is nice, with a cute caffe inside and good film selection. But quite expensive
ines urbano - in the last week

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.

This place is magical. I LOVED my experience here. All the drinks and dishes we had were so good. The service was just as good too. The line up was outside the door but they have a really good system to organize everyone and get people seated fast. Loved the hot drinks they also gave us to sip on while waiting in the cold outside. I will be back!

always a pleasure to dine at dishoom. this was the first time i had come for dinner and so my first time i had to queue for a table as they don’t take bookings after 17:30 we arrived at 17:15 and were told the wait would be around 45 minutes, in the meantime they served chai to the queue which was a delightful pick me up. 45 minutes later, we were seated and our server was very attentive and quick to take drink orders despite how busy it was inside. as usual, we ate our way through the menu and everything was delicious. some of my favourites are the house chaat and chicken biryani ! as this was a birthday meal, they finished by bringing a dessert on the house which was incredible and the perfect way to end the evening we were well and truly stuffed by the end of the evening ! i would recommend dishoom to anyone visiting london

Perhaps one of the busiest Indian restaurants in the city. The lines can get long, but the service is great, the dishes taste good (9/10), and the prices are reasonable. You might find certain dishes more delicious at other places, but usually only at higher-end Indian restaurants. Overall, I would recommend this place.

The restaurant offers a beautifully designed ambiance with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service is attentive and efficient, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. While the food is flavorful and well-prepared, the portion sizes are relatively small, leaving room for improvement in terms of value. Given the price point, the quality-to-price ratio could be reconsidered. Overall, it’s a good spot for an atmospheric meal, but portion sizes may not justify the cost. However i suggest the restaurant.
Emanuele Nardone - a month ago

We’ve heard really good opinions about this restaurant and now we understand everything. It’s a really huge restaurant, where you will find an amazing food and really good service. It’s a bit more expensive than the other ones but the quality of the food and the place itself makes it worth it. You can’t book a table for dinner so be ready to wait a long queue to get in. Everything was delicious, maybe the best cheese naan we ever tried. 100% recommended!

Clos Maggiore – A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience Dining at Clos Maggiore was an unforgettable experience that surpassed all expectations. The ambiance is intimate and enchanting, creating the perfect atmosphere for a special meal. The service was impeccable, with the staff providing attentive and friendly service throughout our entire experience. We started with the oysters, fresh and briny, setting the stage for what was to come. The lobster was tender and succulent, prepared with expert care. The steak was cooked to perfection – tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The broccoli soup was a delightful surprise, with a rich and velvety texture that complemented the meal wonderfully. Every dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the restaurant’s dedication to quality ingredients and culinary excellence. Clos Maggiore is truly a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience in London. We will definitely return for more unforgettable moments.

We had a lovely dinner. The restaurant just looks amazing with these flowers decorated all over the ceiling. Very romantic atmosphere. We had a three course meal. The service was attentive and quick. The food was really tasty and the homemade petit fours were delicious, definitely would recommend them.

This place is a story. That's how you will feel when you enter. A quiet forest full of flowers! It is an exceptional place that transmits peace to you, a place that you will feel relaxed and treated exceptionally well by the employees. I was very pleasantly surprised! My fiance proposed to me in this "forest full of flowers". It will remain my favorite restaurant. As for the food.. I have no words, it looks and tastes wonderful. Everything was PERFECT, I recommend it with great confidence.

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!

Always enjoyed Maggiore, sitting in the conservatory at the rear amongst the ocean of flowers is like being in a forest glade of cherry blossom. The food is always good and the wine list is monumental, but very reasonably priced, although you can blow out if you would like to. Also a good selection by the glass. I had the pork belly starter and the Monkfish, both of which were really good. My wife had the vegetarian main, and it was weird but not wonderful, and needs more thought. It was a strange sort of French toast dipped in egg crossed with a cheesy omelette and didn’t work at all. To their credit it was taken off the bill. All in all a good experience. My dessert, rice pudding mousse, was excellent. They also have a fixed price and a pre theatre menu.

A lovely hotel in the heart of everything. The location is amazing! You are only a few minutes’ walk from Trafalgar, Piccadilly Circus, Chinatown and some of the best playhouses. Our room was very clean, we had no issues, but some members in our party had a few issues with their rooms (windows and humidity mainly). I am still giving the rooms 3 stars because you can tell that the staff is hard at work fixing these minor issues and there are signs that they are renovating certain areas. The beds were comfortable, we had plenty of towels, the bathrooms were well maintained. I think that if a few things are renovated, my room rating would easily go up. I would easily stay here again. You can’t beat this location. There were many great restaurants nearby that made it easy to go out for dinner after chilling in the room from a long afternoon of exploring. Tubes and buses are also nearby.

A nice centrally located hotel. Staff was very helpful, more so than any other hotel we have stayed. Dining at the hotel is pretty much nonexistent, but the food was good when we tried it. Bathroom was small and toilet area even smaller We would stay here again. Nice hotel!

This is a lovely hotel tucked in a quiet street between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square. There's even a delightful row of shops directly opposite. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious and the service from the front of house team is quick and courteous. I didn't use their restaurant as there are so many to choose from within a few minutes walk. I stayed here on business but I'll definitely consider it for a leisure stay.

The hotel has a great location. Good sized rooms but the maintenance and cleanliness is pretty poor. Sheets were usually not fresh. Bathrooms need renovation.

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!

Thanks to our super host, Paulina M, we had an excellent time at the Wahaca! We were treated to amazing food which was recommended by Paulina as well considering our vegetarian preference. Truly delighted, can’t wait to come back!
Aseem Sharma - 2 months ago

We were recommended by friends to try Wahaca on our trip to London and we weren’t disappointed. We got a mixture of dishes between us and NONE of them disappointed. Delicious, fresh and packed with flavour. Amazing service by Cesar who provided recommendations and attended all our needs. I would give Wahaca 6 stars out of 5 if I could.

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.
Charlotte Wyatt - 3 months ago

Excellent food, friendly service, and for a reasonable price. Everything was fresh and we were seated immediately, even without booking. We had the veggie nachos, buttermilk chicken tacos, beef gringa tacos, pork pibil tacos, chicken club quesadillas, and the churros for dessert. I would highly recommend everything I have just mentioned, as it has become our regular order.

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 🇲🇽
