London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of St. Paul's Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

We had a wonderful dinner at the Madison. The views of Saint Paul’s and the London Eye can’t be beat on this rooftop restaurant. We particularly enjoyed the shrimp rigatoni, green goddess salad, and bread with Brie. Both the skillet cookie and chocolate sea salt brownie were chocolatey and delicious. Overall we had a positive experience but a few minor remarks are that the service was a bit slower than we’d like, we had to ask for our bread, ask for the check, etc. Additionally while the salmon was flavorful we wished it came with hot sides rather than cold boiled eggs, lettuce and green beans. It seemed more like an afterthought.

Lovely rooftop bar and restaurant. It met our expectations but seating is limited near the bar so unless you are dining in you will be standing most of the time. The music is ok but I would say it's more catered for the older generation, not something you can dance or vibe to. The aesthetic and views on the other hand was beautiful and stunning but price of drinks definitely matched the clientele of the area.

Had a couple drinks here. It's got great views, very busy on a Thursday with loud DJ. Not much seating if just grabbing a drink at the bard but it's a bustling city vibe. Lovely view of St Paul's and the sunset is beautiful. The restaurant looked nice to chill and have a view without the crowd. Much quieter inside. Seating outside with the view but can't take your drinks with you!

The rooftop dining experience that gets delivered as is promised. The service is prompt and efficient. The food tastes great and it's presentation makes it even more appetizing. The views, specially from the outdoor section are spectacular. The gentleman receiving the guests as soon as you come up the lift is all in to ensure the first and last experience is as memorable as the food inside.

There is a lift to take you up to the restaurant. Whilst going up, St Paul's is in sight all the way. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, as a party of 7 went for the set lunch on a Sunday and it was just divine. The only setback was the poached egg was unfortunately tasteless. The views are amazing, needless to say and there is space to walk around outside on the roof terrace. I recommend this restaurant.

My husband and I had our wedding dinner in the conservatory, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The space looked beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious and complimented by all our guests, and the staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening. We were also pleasantly surprised by how lovely the courtyard area was — it added a really special touch. It was a truly memorable evening, and we’re so grateful for the care and effort that went into making it perfect. We’d highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an exceptional private dining experience in Chelsea. It is the perfect location after a Chelsea Old Town Hall wedding. We don’t have our pictures yet but the room looked amazing.

The food is delicious and the potions sizes are decent. But please keep in mind that the menu is not very long, for example the options of pasta are limited. P.S. Service charges and "optional donations" are getting out of hand (not specific to just this place)

Great food, excellent service. I went on a monday, so it was not busy. Great mussels for the entrée, crab pasta for the main dish and chocolate mousse for dessert. All great options. Also, a short menu ensures all comes out fast and tasting good!

We had lunch on September 18th and were served by Valentin. He was wonderful, kind, attentive, and even spoke Spanish with my parents to make them feel comfortable. The food was all homemade and delicious, and Valentin’s service made the whole experience perfect. We’ll definitely be back.

Amazing gem that looks like a cozy little hold in the wall but actually has a large restaurant in the basement! We had the Cote Burger and seafood linguine and both were amazing! Service was impeccable as well. A warm and cozy spot with friendly staff and amazing food! What's not to love.

We walked in and were seated very quickly, which was a great start. On a rainy day, the soups really hit the spot—especially the onion soup and the corn truffle soup, both of which were delicious. The service overall was excellent—attentive and friendly. While the main courses took a little time to arrive, it wasn’t a big issue, and the quality made it worth the wait. Prices were very reasonable for the experience and quality of food. Definitely a cozy and satisfying place to stop by, especially on a chilly day.

We had the pleasure of dining at cote , and I can’t say enough good things about it. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, setting the tone for a perfect meal. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. Each bite was a reminder of how great food can be when it’s done right. Whether you’re a foodie or just someone who enjoys a delicious meal, you’re in for a treat here. What truly made the experience unforgettable, though, was the customer service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely made me feel like a valued guest. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the service are equally top-notch, but this restaurant nails it. Special thanks to Sonam And Karthik for looking after us they’re so sweet and caring ❤️

Max and Isabel were so courteous in looking after us this evening. Food was amazing as always. It’s why I’m a regular. Highly recommended. Returned for Lobster Festival, where the queue was out the door and Maarit served us with a lovely smile and a friendly and helpful demeanour. Thank you for looking after us.

First time visit, the food was amazing and the service stunning. Sonia and Kasia made our visit extra special! Friendly, attentive, and full of positive energy — they turned a great meal into an amazing experience. Thank you both for the wonderful service!

It’s a nice place, pretty close to St. Paul’s Cathedral. Staff were very kind and helpful. Pretty pricey but very good. The grilled lobster was very tasty, and paired amazingly with the garlic butter sauce that it came with. Fries were very crispy. The lobster roll was also delicious, and had perfectly toasted bread. Overall, good food + service, would come again and would recommend!

Incredible atmosphere and food. Felt just like Italy. The best Italian in the City!

5* from the moment I walked in the door, and before I even sat down. Wonderful smile from the Assistant Manager Excellent food from the Chef Fabulous organisation from the Boss himself! A hidden gem in the City of London.
Daniel Hunter - 5 months ago

One of my favourite Italian restaurant in the City. Post-covid a Friday afternoon lunch isn't what it used to be, with very few tables taken, which does make me worry about the long term future of places like this. The food & service is always very good & to entice custom there's 20% off on a Friday, providing fantastic value.

The food at HAZ St Paul was delicious and full of authentic Turkish flavors. However, the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a clean and cozy atmosphere that made the dining experience enjoyable. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout. Overall, a pleasant visit great quality, though a bit more quantity would have made it perfect.
zunaira raza - 6 months ago

Some of the food was very good, whilst some was average. Nothing was bad. It is the type of place which is good enough but probably missing attention to detail - my roasted courgette salad was served very cold straight out of the fridge, for example. The service was ok but the staff often forgot about us. It was very busy outside and nice in the sunny weather. I would say the price was high and I’m not sure value for money.
Nigel Dias - 6 months ago

The food at this restaurant was genuinely excellent — well-cooked, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. However, the way they handle the bill completely ruined the experience. First, I was charged twice for service — once as a “cover charge” (apparently just for sitting at the table), and again as a percentage-based service charge. Neither was mentioned on the menu or explained by the staff. Worse still, I was charged £5.50 extra for chips — despite the fact that in most Turkish restaurants, a main dish is served with rice or chips included, or at the very least, the cost is clearly stated. In this case, I wasn’t told it would be extra, and there was no price listed or warning given when I ordered. That’s completely unacceptable. It feels like customers are being quietly overcharged, and that’s not just disappointing — it’s dishonest. This kind of hidden pricing is deceptive and takes advantage of people’s trust. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this place unless the management starts being transparent with their pricing. If you do go, check your bill very carefully.

My colleague and I were hopping between appointments and needed a quick but tasty lunch break. We spotted Haz and thought it looked like a great spot, so we grabbed a table. We went for the two-course option at £26 each and kicked things off with some hummus and tabbouleh, served with some really good focaccia. For mains, we had the chicken tagine and lamb kofte with plain rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and hit the spot. Two glasses of wine on the side just sealed the deal. Exactly the kind of lunch break we needed!
Rhea Che - 4 months ago

We came here for a light dinner after having been to the Barbican centre before to see a production. I hadn’t been here in quite a long time as I no longer work in the city but forgot about this place as I used to come to Haz quite often a few years ago. Fairly priced, great service, good food. Generous portions, I had the iskender, though it doesn’t mention lamb kofta on the menu, I would have preferred more skewered lamb. The iskender had a touch too much yoghurt and bread for me which I’m guessing is to fatten out the meal. The chicken tagine is decent too. I had a glass of the Haz rosé, lovely and refreshing. Will try to keep in mind next time I’m back in the area

I recently organised my school/college reunion at Dion Bar, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the start, Marco was incredibly helpful and pleasant, assisting with the booking and promptly answering all our queries. On the day of the event, Sam ensured everything ran smoothly and made sure we were well looked after throughout. The venue itself is stunning, centrally located and beautifully designed. The downstairs area features a gorgeous wall-length screen that illuminated our photos perfectly, adding a special touch to the evening. We enjoyed a delicious two-course meal, and although we forgot to mention that one of our guests was vegan, the team quickly prepared a tasty vegan main and dessert, which we truly appreciated. Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations, and I’ll definitely be booking another event at Dion Bar in the future!

I booked a table in advance requesting a view of St Paul’s as friends from Australia were visiting London for the first time. Upon seeing the weather, Jo called me to move out party inside by the window where we could see the Dome all lit up. On the day, the staff were lovely, the food was delicious, and everyone was so attentive. I had mentioned to Jo that it we were celebrating a birthday and the staff surprised everyone with a chorus of Happy Birthday and dessert for the birthday girl. It wasn’t requested, they just did it out of the kindness of their hearts. They were wonderful. A special shout out to our hostess, Erika, who kept our drinks full and the laughter flowing with her company.
G K Sihat - a month ago

The Dion Bar was a great place to end the evening. The drinks were very good and the location right next to the cathedral was cozy and yet full of interesting impressions, but even better was Erika, one of the staff members. She was so lovely and courteous. She made us feel comfortable and at home. We will definitely be back.

I had such a great experience at Paul’s in St. Paul’s. Antonio and Mohamed were absolutely fantastic — so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel at home and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. It’s clear they both take real pride in what they do. The service was quick, the atmosphere relaxed, and the attention to detail was spot-on. You don’t often come across staff who make such a positive impression, but Antonio and Mohamed really stood out. I’ll definitely be back — not just for the great coffee and food, but because of the amazing service. Highly recommend!

My husband ordered a pastry which he loved it! ( he said their pastries were the best in any locations including NYC, Miami, Oxford...) However, I was so disappointed to see my Americano was made from tap water! Just using from the sink. Not even cold for the iced coffee. So that reason I gave low star review.

Dropped in for a snack before touring around the city. The hot chocolate was very reminiscent of the thick hot chocolate we've had in Paris. Delicious. Indoor seating upstairs next to a single WC. Outdoor seating was generous.

Rucoletta is a fantastic little Italian spot tucked just behind St Paul’s Cathedral. I went in without much expectation and left genuinely impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. I had a prawn pasta dish (can’t remember the exact name!) — it came with giant, juicy prawns in a beautifully balanced, light sauce. The pasta was perfectly cooked and soaked up the flavours so well. You could tell the ingredients were really fresh. It was one of those dishes you don’t want to end. The service was quick even though the place was quite busy. The warm bread with olive oil they bring out is a nice touch, and overall, the prices are very fair for central London — especially for the quality you’re getting. It’s one of those rare places that feels like a local secret. No gimmicks, just really good food and genuine hospitality. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving proper Italian!

Lovely small cafe we came across whilst searching for brunch today. Food looked tasty and inviting. Omlette was great. Poached eggs perfect. Really good cup of tea. Friendly service. Quiet outdoor seating at the back. Thank you Rucoletta x

Warm welcome, informed and fun service accompanying the authentic food. 4 of us all very much enjoyed our food. In fact, our vegetarian friend said "This is the best arrabbiata I have enjoyed in my 60yrs." The veal was superb, subtle flavours, light breading. The salmon piece as a main was large and done to perfection (not overcooked as it often can be). The gluten free pasta (penne) portion was large and done very well. When in this neighborhood again, we'll return to try some of their other options. We sat upstairs, it's cozy, comfortable and the glass ceiling added to the ambience

I always enjoyed the food here! I had the homemade pasta with prawn, mussels, clams, etc.. The taste and texture of the pasta and sauce were amazing and the seafood was really fresh! My fiance had a medium rare steak which was cooked to perfection! The calamari and whitebait tempura were really tasty too. Shame I couldn't have dessert because I was already full! Would definitely come back again. Staff are nice. Facilities are clean.

Authentically Italian dining experience. (1) Good variety of Italian dishes (2) Service was prompt and attentive. There are some very good Italian waitresses and willing to engage with guests / we had an Italian amongst us (3) Location is great and in Central London (4) Price is higher than normal so value is a bit on the lesser side (5) Food was tasty although my main dish was a bit salty - the appetizers were good and main dishes had veggie options - although the pasta was a bit too “al dente” for me. Overall a good option for business lunch if you are in the area
