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!

Great food, good service and staff is super attentive. Came here with my work colleagues. The vibe is good, relaxed and chill and they have a good setup. Little tricky to find if you haven’t been here before as the name hides under two massive trees but once you’re in, it’s great. Would highly recommend and definitely visit again.

I booked a table for 11, for a team dinner. The process was smooth from start to finish and the team were so accommodating and attentive to everything I asked for (square table, allergies, changing numbers last minute etc.). On the night, the team looked after us quietly but attentively. The food was fresh and well‑cooked, and the wines they suggested paired nicely. A reliable, easy option for a relaxed team dinner in the City - highly recommended!

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 ❤️

Situated extremely close to St Paul’s Cathedral in London, this Cote restaurant is highly recommended. Apart from the perfect location, the standard of food was truly outstanding. A great ambience - very relaxing in addition to the excellent service from all the staff. This restaurant is a perfect place for lunch or dinner and the prices for this part of London are extremely reasonable. Highly recommended!

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.

It was a wonderful experience. Not only was the food really good, it was also really affordable and the best staff I ever had. My waitress was Isa and she was wonderful the whole evening. I would definetly recommend this place for everyone who wants to feel welcomed.

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!
Alexandra Laura Puscas - a month ago

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!

Amazing food, wine, service! One of the best Italian place I have ever been to. Highly recommend it if you want an authentic, traditional experience.

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 - 3 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 - 3 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.

Came here for a Father’s Day meal with my dad. The waiter was brilliant and was really friendly and helpful. We got a steak, lamb chops and a mixed grill The food was well seasoned and fresh. The desert was yummy too! Will definitely visit here again!
JoJo Boateng - a month ago

Was very quiet when we were in (we like to eat quite early) but very much livening up by the time we left. Server very pleasant and attentive (thanks Abbos). Food was lovely - mixed grill for me, spicy chicken for dining companion. Given location, anmount of drink and it having quite an upmarket vibe, the cost was not outrageous. Waiter offered to swap out the complimentary shot after the bill when companion didn’t want it. Entirely unnecessary since I had hers, but a nice touch nevertheless. I’d definitely come back.

We've come here a few times for a catchup with work colleagues. It's perfect for a group get together. The staff is lovely, food is great and the atmosphere in the whole sq at the foot of St Paul's is unmatchable. Would definitely recommend
Vishakha Mehandru - 3 months ago

Sadly not the best experience. Food is expensive for its quality/taste and service could be better. Note - The festive menu has not been designed for dietary requirements and prices for vegetarian options on the festive menu are double the price when compared to the same dishes on the normal lunch menu! We came during a busy lunch time so service was very slow. Some dishes came so late that others in our party had already finished eating. Main portions were good, but sides and starters are very small for their price (e.g. small bowl of chips for £5). The location is good, but I wouldn't return unfortunately.

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.

For the first time in the history of visiting Paul UK, I experienced a good service by the assistant manager on the afternoon of the 2nd of Jan 2025. Usually their food is great but their staff and management is always rude AF. Unbelievable service but today I was pleasantly surprised rather shocked as how nice and normal the manager was.. even gave me a free cake for a mistaken order by another staff member. Thanks nice human!

A great location! It’s right in front of St Paul’s Cathedrals I cannot resist getting something to eat and drink when I walk past this place especially when the weather is nice. I bought a cup of decaf flat white and olive bread sticks for breakfast today. I enjoyed every sip and bite. All the pastries and desserts are all so tasty. I often buy bread for takeaway.

It was one of our favourite restaurants whilst visiting London. We were taken to our seats where we ordered our food and drinks, which came out soon after. Absolutely no complaints about any of our food. The French onion soup tasted amazing. We especially loved the French decor and ambience of the dining room. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. We can highly recommend eating here.

The service was slow to non-existent. We were there for an hour and a half for what was supposed to be a quick lunch. If they ask if you want a bowl of olives or some baguette with butter say no. The upcharge is ridiculous. The food was okay but obviously not homemade. The temperature difference between foods, and even in the same item, made it obvious that these were reheated from frozen.

We had a lovely experience at Café Rouge – St Paul. The butternut squash and lentil wellington was hearty and full of flavour, and the tomato & basil soup was comforting and delicious. The star of the meal was definitely the garlic mushrooms – absolutely loved them! The cozy ambiance and friendly service made it even better. Would definitely go back!

I enjoyed this place quite much. I visited with my family and ordered kids breakfast, grand breakfast and egg benedict with coffees and juices. We enjoyed the meal at the great atmosphere. The staff was friendly & kind, the price was reasonable.

I had the Chicken Baguette and the quality control was not the greatest in comparison to one’s first experience in a previous branch in Holborn some time ago which no longer exists. My colleague was craving a chicken baguette and I recommended the Cafe Rogue chicken baguette based off one’s past experience which was good and we decided to try it in a different branch together and one was devastated. The baguette was extremely hard, I mean a teeth breaker and the chicken was really dry. Fries were decent. Nothing special I do not plan on visiting it again.

It's not bad. If you haven't been to a place like this before it has the novelty factor of having your food cooked in front of you with some theatre from the chef (flames & flipping of food) but the food is mediocre. Quite expensive for what it is so doubt I'd be rushing back.
Billy Sullivan - 8 years ago

Good food, more on the expensive side. We paid 100 pounds for one starter, two meals, a bottle of wine and a bottle of sparkling water. Friendly staff on the most part. Would not recommend taking into account the price/value.

Great cooking show but after our meal was cooked! (you can request the cooking show once your meal has been cooked) Please be advised if you are a person who does not drink alcohol to be asked to be seated on a separate table as the food is cooked with alcohol! (especially for muslims). I believe the food is overpriced for rice and chicken and soup! Our chef was great and would recommend this restaurant for special/date nights.
Faye - 7 years ago

Haven't been in a while. Waited for an hour before we was given soup and a starter. I must say though. The staff were very apologetic and the food ( tiger prawns especially) were worth the wait. I was just a little frustrated as we had a booking after and they had made us EXTREMELY late that we missed the booking and they almost refused us entry. I would recommend this restaurant but I would say be prepared to sit there and wait for the table to fill if your party is 5 or less.
