London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Queensway Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

I recently stayed at the Thistle London hotel and was very pleased with the food and room service experience during my visit. The hotel offered a good selection of meals both in the restaurant and via in-room dining, which I found to be tasty and well prepared overall. The restaurant staff were polite and attentive, making dining enjoyable and relaxed. Guests often mention that the quality of food and presentation was excellent, with several people especially complimenting the attentive service at meals.  What stood out most was the effort from the staff to make the dining experience welcoming – they were professional and friendly, which added a great touch to the food service. Even when the hotel was quiet, the restaurant maintained high standards of service.  In addition, the room service options were convenient, with a variety of snacks and dining choices available directly to the room — perfect after a long day of exploring London. While variety can vary between different Thistle locations, most guests appreciated having the flexibility to order meals without leaving the comfort of their room.  Overall, I would say the food and room service were a definite highlight of the stay — delicious food, courteous staff, and good service really helped enhance the overall experience at the Thistle London hotel.

Very concomitantly located, good rooms with Kensington Garden view. staff is very efficient, helpful and friendly. Farhan and Jo at reception made my early check in smooth. Sarika and Nitin at restaurant were happily serving breakfast. Thomas Kutty helped with luggage storage and check out, I am really thankful to them. The best thing about this hotel is its staff.

This was the first time we had planned to stay a couple of days in the Capitol. The hotel is n an excellent location, close to absolutely everything you can think of (Restaurants, shops, underground stations etc.) The staff at Thistle Hotel Hyde Park are excellent. Nothing was too much to ask. The onsite restaurant was also very good, lovely breakfasts with large variety of food available. The rooms were adequate however there is very little cupboard space (Hanging) and no draws available. Rooms are comfortable and everything worked as expected.

Amazing experience !! We started here for our honeymoon and it was so clear , accommodating and the staff was friendly. I want to shout out mainly the front desk staff, especially Pelin who upgraded our room when she found out it was our honeymoon. An amazing start to our celebration. Would definitely stay here again

I’ve been to this restaurant countless time for roast duck and rice with a chrysanthemum tea whenever I’m in the area and it’s delicious. The duck is always tasty, meaty and well cooked and the service is great. Highly recommended!

A Faded Legend? 💔 A Disappointing Return to Four Seasons (London) I was incredibly excited to return to Four Seasons. I last visited in 2011 and had wonderful memories of what was, at the time, one of the best Chinese restaurants I’d experienced. 🗓️ Fast forward to 2025, I came back hoping for that same magical meal. Unfortunately, this visit was a significant letdown. The restaurant I remembered seems to be gone, and based on this meal, I can only give it 3 stars. ⭐⭐⭐ Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: 🍽️ The Food: A Rollercoaster of Hits and Misses * Szechuan Soup: We started with this, and it was just... average. Completely middle-of-the-road. Not bad, but not memorable. * Scallops (Steamed & Baked with Vermicelli): 🌟 This was the absolute best dish of the night! The scallops were incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and tasted fantastic with a bit of chili and soy sauce. A solid 4.5/5 stars for this dish. * The Famous "Barbecue Meats" Platter: This is where things really fell apart. * Crispy Pork (Siu Yuk): 👎 This was terrible. A 1-star dish, easily. The skin was tough and chewy (เหนียว), not crispy at all. The meat itself was hard and tasted almost burnt. A complete failure for such a classic. * Roasted Pork (Char Siu): Thankfully, the Char Siu was much better. It had a good, sweet, smoky flavor. 4/5 stars for this component. * Roasted Duck: 🦆 This is what Four Seasons is legendary for, and it was the biggest disappointment. The duck I remember from 2011 was juicy, the skin was fragrant, and the meat was tender. The duck we had today was just... average. Honestly, many restaurants in Asia do it better. It has completely lost its "wow" factor. * Fried Squid & Stir-fried Prawns with Vegetables: 🍤 Similar to the soup, these dishes were just okay. Entirely forgettable and nothing special. ⚖️ Final Verdict Overall, this was a deeply disappointing meal. 😔 When you consider the legendary reputation and the premium prices they charge, the food quality is simply not justifiable. While the Scallops and Char Siu were good, the failures (especially the awful Crispy Pork and the mediocre famous Duck) were too significant to ignore. It breaks my heart to say it, but this legend seems to have lost its shine. 3 stars is all I can give.

Returning after 10 years. No frills honest good food. Best duck in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia. I've had roast ducks, geese in all these countries and this still stands out.

When we came, the restaurant was totally stuffed with people, but we waited for 20 minutes, and it was worth it! The food is amazing! My husband loves spicy food, and I hate spicy food. But somehow they managed to make the food perfectly for the both of us!

One of thee best beef curries i have tried and i have been to quite a few countries. Not too spicy, vegetables cut very well, special fried rice pretty good too. Large serve so could only eat half but kept rest for next day. Going to try their satay beef tonight. Thank you for very enjoyable take away meal. Barry from Australia.

Great place with a truly authentic Greek atmosphere. I highly recommend it! The lamb was absolutely amazing. A special thanks to the staff as well — the lady was incredibly kind and the waiter was super friendly and cool. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Good, tasty food and big portions. We were very cramped together and the central tables are all shared. It was very busy on a Saturday night but they did their best to seat walk ins also. They gave single roses to all the ladies which was a nice touch on valentine's day.

We went to Halepi last night. It was busy, so the staff encouraged us to order quickly. The restaurant is quite small, so there isn’t much space to move around. The salad was fresh, and all the stews were juicy, tender and comforting. My casserole felt a bit salty to me, though my family disagreed — so that might just be me! The food was good, but everything felt rushed. Even with a couple of empty tables, we were still pushed along. If you book a table, your time slot is 90 minutes, and it definitely feels like they keep an eye on the clock. If you’re after good food and don’t mind being kept on a tight schedule, this is the place for you!

The food at the restaurant was exceptionally delicious, especially the meats ، truly outstanding. We ordered hummus and dolma as starters, and both were very good. My only complaint is that the place is quite small, which makes it hard to feel comfortable or have enough space to relax.
Hashim Alshuber - 2 months ago

Found this place on TikTok. Milk fed lamb definitely recommended. Everything we had was a hit service was exceptional. Really busy spot so definitely recommend getting reservations beforehand we went there without it not knowing it was going to be that busy and luckily a reservation didn't show up so we got their seats. Very accommodating.

I was just planning to treat myself to my favourite spaghetti meatballs, and unexpectedly Emiliano made my lunch even better. I was dining by myself, and he made me feel really welcome from the moment I arrived. He was incredibly kind, had a beautiful smile, and you could genuinely feel he was going the extra mile. Very friendly, attentive, and honestly… also pretty cute 👀. The food was great too, which made the whole experience even nicer. Really appreciated his service.

Bella Italia never disappoints! It’s my go-to dining spot — the food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Whether it's pasta, pizza, or dessert, everything is consistently excellent. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. A big shoutout to Joseph, who is an outstanding server — friendly, attentive, and always makes sure we have a great experience. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing experience! Special thanks to Germaine We dropped in spontaneously without a reservation on our first day in London, and it was the perfect start to our trip. A huge thank you to Germaine, who provided exceptional service! She was so kind and patient while my mother was deciding which pizza to choose. We never felt rushed and felt truly welcome. The pizza was delicious – the tomato sauce has a unique, wonderful aroma. Great value for money and a very cozy atmosphere. We ended up staying for quite a while just to talk and enjoy the vibe. Germaine is a fantastic asset to the team! Highly recommended.

Nice pub where the locals come to drink and visit. I loved the decor. Tables had comfortable Captains chairs and wingback chairs. Along one wall was a comfortable looking couch. The food was really good, hot and filling. Definitely recommend.

It’s no secret that tourist areas in London are very expensive, but here’s my honest advice to anyone visiting: take a bus 10–15 minutes in any direction and you’ll save money, support local businesses, and avoid the usual tourist traps. Unfortunately, my experience at Phoenix was frustrating from the very first minute. Drinks are already overpriced for the area, but what surprised me most was the attitude toward something as simple as charging a device. This is the only pub I’ve been to in London where staff refused to charge anything for even a few minutes. I politely asked to charge my vape for 10 minutes and was told I had to pay to use their charging station—on top of the already high prices. Because of that, I ended up having to buy a new vape in the same overpriced area. If you still choose to spend extra money here, make sure you bring your own charger or power bank. A little kindness goes a long way, and sometimes it comes back double—but sadly, that wasn’t the case here.

Our second night in London and we thought we’d give this local pub a go. Cozy, authentic vibe for an English pub. Nice range of beers and a reasonably priced menu. Staff were friendly and helpful. The vintage cheddar and bacon burgers were nice and sides were well proportioned. Only downside was the chicken Kyiv which dry and tough.

A real hidden gem on a side street in Bayswater, London. The staff here; Andrew Annie and Jacek were Awesome. An old school pub with a Great Atmosphere, Great Food and Excellent service.

What a charming little pub! Was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was here. The house burger is to die for. The combination of the pork belly with beef patty is one I have never seen before and don’t know if I can go back! Every bite was flavourful and the onion rings were incredible. Crunchy and packs a punch. Highly recommend for a date or small groups. Staff were also very friendly 😊 Thank you!

We shared the Burratta, the chicken schnitzel and the apple pie crumble. All of it was so very good. The warm pudding to drizzle on the hot apple pie crumble was quite scrumptious, could have eaten a large pot of it.

The waitress was very nice. The fish and chips was really good, the batter of the fish was perfect, not too thick.
Christina Cederborg - a week ago

Maybe because we are tourist but we didn’t feel very welcome. The service was poor and we were forgotten about a number of time: The chicken schnitzel was very very good as were the chive mashed potatoes. We finished it off with a sticky toffee pudding to finish our trip. This place is good if you are wanting something close by.

Authentic Cantonese food, we tried both the roasted duck and dim sum and are very pleased with the food, as if we had it in Hong Kong. Restaurant is very busy both for lunch and dinner, we went twice and always saw a queue. Thus also suggest high turnover and fresh food.

Serves authentic chinese cuisines including Malaysian styled curry. I heard about the Malaysian fried fish curry which is not on the menu. I loved it. The fried meat tofu is average. Great service for a very popular and busy restaurant. Very attentive staff. Highly recommended for good quality food and excellent service.

Authentic Chinese restaurant ✨ — it really feels like a proper yum cha spot with the round tables 🪑 and traditional décor 🏮 🔸Service: The waitress was very welcoming 😊 and even arranged the best seat for us. As usual in Chinese dining, we started with hot tea 🍵 (you can choose your own — we went with chamomile 🌼 this time). 🔸Food: 🍜 Fried Beef Noodles 🍜 – My favorite! The black bean sauce 🫘 mixed perfectly with the beef 🥩 and noodles, with onion 🧅 and sweet peppers 🫑 balancing it out. 🍤 Crystal Prawn Dumplings (Har Gow) 🍤– 4 pieces, fresh and delicious 🦐. 🥟 Scallop & Prawn Siu Mai 🥟 – 4 pieces, juicy and flavorful. 🥬 Steamed Veg & Meat Dumplings 🥬 – 3 pieces, loved the crystal wrapper with the veggie mix inside. 🍲 Beef Cheong Fun (Rice Roll) 🍲 – Soft rice roll drizzled with soy sauce, very tasty. 🍡 Dessert: Black Sesame Glutinous Rice Balls 🍡 – Soft, slightly chewy, with rich sesame filling 🖤. (Fun fact: black sesame is great for hair & skin ✨). 🔸Overall: A truly authentic Chinese dining experience 🥢, not the usual localized “British-Chinese.” Food, service, and atmosphere were all spot on 🌟. Definitely coming back, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants the real deal ✅.

I had passed by Gold Mine many times and noticed there always seemed to be a queue of people waiting outside during the day. I checked online and found they are popular for their dim sum but also their roast meat. I decided to pay them a visit as I love duck and pork dishes. My first impression was good as they were happy for me to make a reservation for one person and were very responsive to my requests. I had a three-course meal of Deep Fried Crispy Aromatic Duck, Roast Meat Rice (BBQ Pork and Crispy Pork) and Banana Fritters. I had also planned to have the House Special Bean Curd but had no room after my main course. All the dishes I had were delicious. The duck was probably the best I have ever had. It was crispy on the outside and the meat was not at all dry but succulent. I had no problem finishing all the pancakes. I asked for egg fried rice and it was well cooked, along with the two types of pork. The pork meats were full of flavour but not overpowering. The banana fritters were a great end to the meal. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was also very good. The servers were attentive but not at all intrusive and I did not have to wait very long at all between courses. One thing to note is that the restaurant was rather noisy and not the best place for a quiet or intimate meal. I was glad that I had my noise cancelling headphones with me. I would also recommend making a reservation, as it was very busy. I definitely recommend Gold Mine if you fancy having Chinese cuisine, especially their roast meat dishes. I hope to make another visit soon to try their dim sum, as it looks very good.

I’d highly recommend this spot it was the perfect dinner for after skating across the road. I started with the wonton soup and it was perfect for a winters day not too heavy and the wontons themselves were so flavourful. One of my friends ordered the chicken and sweetcorn soup and it was so creamy and the sweetcorn flavour was delightful it was almost like a sweetcorn puree. We also started with some prawn toast which was super fresh and it even had a slight crunch from the prawns and we ordered the duck spring rolls which came with some sweet chill sauce but the prawn toast dipped in the sauce was an excellent addition. The duck rolls were super fresh and flavourful the spices paired with the duck immaculate. For mains we had the barbecued pork this is an absolute need. The pork was so tender and literally melted in the mouth we ordered some garlic pak choi and it paired excellently with the meat. The pak choi itself was seasoned to perfection I’d highly recommend this. And we also had some lemon chicken which was so succulent and the sauce was perfectly lemony and all of the chicken pieces were the perfect bite size. We also had the iced lemon tea for drinks it was super delicious not too sweet but you could definitely taste the lemon and my friend had the fruit punch which was very citrusy which she enjoyed. We did book ahead and I would recommend in doing so as it was pretty busy and for a good reason. The restaurant was pretty and I liked the decor. The staff were super friendly and helpful I would definitely come back.

What a fantastic restaurant! From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and absolutely brilliant. The tables are generously spaced, making it perfect for larger groups. There were five of us, and we ordered the half aromatic crispy duck with pancakes, sweet sesame chicken, ginger and spring onion lobster with soft noodles (their signature dish - and truly incredible), mapo bean curd, and two portions of egg fried rice. Every single dish was outstanding. The flavours were rich and beautifully balanced, and we cleared every plate. Dessert was just as impressive. The mochi ice cream selection is amazing - we chose coconut, strawberries and cream, matcha, and mango, and each one was delicious. We also shared the almond bean curd with lychee, which may honestly be one of the best desserts I’ve ever had in my life. It was light, delicately sweet, and incredibly refreshing - the perfect end to the meal. The wine was also excellent! We had such a lovely time and I’ll absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Went for a quick dinner, we ordered Chicken with cashew, Kai Lan and Asparagus with Scallops. All delicious and will be back. Nearest tube station- Queensway and Bayswater Street Parking available but tricky.

I heard great things about this restaurant, especially their signature dish the lobster with noodles. Finally got a chance to try it and it was very very good. The lobster noodles with ginger and spring onion sauce was extremely delicious. I noticed almost every table in the restaurant had ordered this same dish. Shared this dish with a friend and there was plenty of lobster meat to go around. It's also very reasonably priced. Beef Ho Fun was also very good, plenty to "wok air" and was super tasty. Scallops was a good size and fresh. The soft shell crap was another delicious dish. Services was on point and very friendly. Definitely recommend this restaurant and I'll be back very soon

This is a restaurant inside of the Hilton Hyde Park. It serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. The place is decorated beautifully, and the food is tasty and good. We had a good experience here.

We visited Aubaine for brunch on a lovely day, and overall, it was a good experience. The restaurant offers a wide selection of brunch options, which made choosing a bit difficult (in a good way!). While it is on the pricier side, the cost is understandable given its prime location—just a short walk from Hyde Park, making it a great spot to stop before or after a stroll. The atmosphere was relaxed and it wasn’t too crowded, which added to the comfort of the experience. The breakfast was fresh, and the coffee was especially enjoyable—rich in flavour and nicely presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, contributing positively to the overall vibe. All in all, Aubaine is a very good place to enjoy brunch in London, especially on a beautiful day.

I’m not giving 4 stars or higher because I remember what Aubaine used to be. I used to live in Notting Hill and this was my go to place for breakfast. It’s been a few years since I visited but the food wasn’t as good, the bacon was super salty and almost inedible. The mushrooms were good as were the eggs, the hash browns tasted like they were frozen and heated up. They took out the comfy couch area by the front door where I would sit and have coffee and it just wasn’t the same vibe as it used to be.
