London Restaurants within a 5 minute walk of Tottenham Court Road Station | Ratings, Reviews & Maps

The last time I went for a meal here must have been at least 8 years ago. The place was less busy than I remember it being and getting a reservation was very easy... I don't recall it being this easy in the past. Service was good and food was great I especially liked the black truffle duck and tofu clay pot but everything was nice. It's a bit dark inside and I had joked about using my phone's torch to see where everything was. This place doesn't disappoint

Lovely lunch with Pearl set menu, which included small eats with mixed dim sum platter , 3 main dishes, peking duck as second main and side dishes. The total cost of pearl set menu is £158 excluding vat and service charges. It is a nice dining experience, feel like in the night club with dark ambience. It is huge restaurant but not busy during the lunch time so it is good for us. Some dishes like braised quinoa stuffed fresh morels with baby spinach is a bit salty but overall the foods there is great. Nice friendly waiter with nice service.

Great tasting food and beautifully presented. Service was great too, fast, polite, courtious, attentive. Atmosphere, intimate, dark, buzzing, special. It was our anniversary, so went for the 'Plum' set menu. That was £90 per person. There was very good portion sizes for evethying that came in our set menu, which i was surprised as had expected smaller portion. Food is expensive, the most we have paid anywhere, if we were to go again might go for al acarte option but that might come to the same cost.

Though the food was enjoyable, it was a bit pricey and just ordinary, especially since several menu items were unavailable during our 9 pm visit. The service was a major highlight—attentive and friendly, greatly enhancing our dining experience. Be sure to try the Chocolate Caviar!

The lighting of the restaurant was extremely dark. The food was a little bland for my liking and lacked flavour, I would have expected a little more flavour from a restaurant of this calibre. The service was a little too pushy for my liking there were too many waiters and waitresses serving us and forcing us to order drinks. Without even asking they poured our water in one glass and pushed for us to buy another bottle which we had no choice to do so. This place is extremely expensive so be prepared for a hefty bill at the end of the night go in with low expectations.

Lovely restaurant with good service, went for the pre fixe menu with a few extras. For £30 the menu was really good value all the food was really nice and cooked well, very traditional so not much excitement but great quality. Of you are looking for a decent french restaurant in London, which is perfect for a date night can't go wrong here.

My husband and I were visiting from the Bahamas and wanted a restaurant serving French Cuisine. So we did a google search and L’ Escargots came up with excellent reviews. To say the least, they did not disappoint and lived up to all of the great reviews. The service was top notch. I believe the name of our server was David (he said he was from Spain). The servers were knowledgeable of the menu and made some good recommendations.I told him I wanted a sweet cocktail and he brought back a delicious passion fruit drink that i absolutely loved. We had the escargots, French onion soup, lamb (Navarin d'agneau 'Printanier'), beef (Fillet of beef 'en croûte', sauce Périgourdine), potatoes (Pomme Dauphinoise) and madeleines for dessert. Everything was perfect and flavorful. When we visit London again we will be sure to dine at this restaurant.

An amazing restaurant that has stood the test of time, it’s over 100 years old! Ordering the snails is a must. Find classical French cooking at this place, in a comfortable setting, where it’s easy to catch up with friends and family. There is bag and coat storage at reception. Ladies toilets are on the upper floor, whereas the men’s toilets are on the ground floor… For any of you on wheels. Excellent service, with kind staff. Shout out to the person who took my reservation via the phone, I really appreciate that they made a few jokes with me in a good natured way.

The food was delicious. We had steak Rossini with fresh sauté liver and chips and sweetbreads with a morel sauce and an amazing gratin dauphinois. Caring and friendly service in a beautiful room.

My partner and I had a great evening at Patara Soho. We popped in early on Saturday without a reservation. Soho was bustling with people as it was London Pride weekend. We were a bit hungry and only wanted some light snacks. The staff seated us quickly and were very friendly. We ordered a Champagne Mojito and an Aperol Spritz, which arrived promptly. We tried the Lemongrass Salad and Papaya Salad, both of which were delicious. The Mixed Satay and Fish Cakes were also excellent, reminding us of our time eating Thai food in Thailand. The service was outstanding. We highly recommend this place.

Great evening here. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Food was very tasty and beautifully presented. There were plenty of choices on the menu including vegetarian and fish. There were some different dishes from a standard Thai restaurant which was good. I tried the soft shell crab and mango salad which was delicious. I will definitely return for a third visit when I am next in London.

Great atmosphere and great food. Good value for location. Had the classic set menu, great variety and good food. Matthew our server was great.
James Elsey - in the last week

Brilliant atmosphere , in a well air conditioned room perfumed by lemongrass aromas. Very very good food and as a Thai person living abroad, I have always used this place as something to give my non Thai colleagues a taste of authentic Thai cuisine. The way the food is presented and the way the restaurant is decorated makes me feel like I am home - without boarding a 12 hour Heathrow flight of course! I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to embark on their journey of trying Thai dishes. What I recommend is the lemon steamed sea bass, the lemongrass sauce fried sea bass and some coconut rice to eat it with! I will be back!!

The food here is great, and service is friendly. However, every time I've been here, it takes ages for the food to arrive. Fine if you have the time and you're enjoying a few drinks as you wait. Not recommended if you're trying to fit in a quick lunch/dinner

Great venue, decor and ambience. I went here for Sunday lunch. The staff were really professional and helpful. The food was great and arrived hot. Would recommend if you want to try Brazilian food.
ME K - 2 weeks ago

Really like the atmosphere prefectly goes with the brazillian theme. Food options are limited but vegetarian options are available. Booked through Fork and received a half price deal on food. 5pm to 7pm they have Happy Hour deal where you can enjoy 2 for 1 on house cocktails every day. Food was decent not great really like there fries. They have surprised us with cheese cake from restaurant side for birthday celebration. The staff are lovely and very accommodating.

Food and drink here is decent. Burgers and sides are delicious. Steak was alright. Price can be bit high. As it’s in central London. Staff were very nice and friendly. Restaurant interior has a street vibe in it. It goes well together with there Brazilian theme. They have a house sauce condiment which very nice. I would love to go there again.
Mir Sabbir - 3 months ago

A decent modern Brazilian restaurant. The vibe inside is very enjoyable. The food was delicious. We particularly liked the cassava and churros.

Lovely and authentic lil place We had great live music, mainly jazz but reggae infused. Amazing evening! Recommended!!
Florian Hissbach - 2 months ago

Had a great time. Slightly off the main strip in Soho, but a lovely little jazz club, with a retro feel, and Amy Winehouse style. Cool murals on the walls. A good band with reggae, soul, and pop live music. Came up from Cambridge for theatre, and was looking for something interesting to do in the West End. Was beautifully looked after by the hostess, Kirsty, who bought drinks to the table, and was kind and helpful. Highly recommended.

There was a great quartet playing here on Saturday May 25th. They had a super singer, keyboard player and drummer but the saxophonist was just out of this world, amazing. It's a small place, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed and fun. Great late night out. We only had drinks, no food.
Larry O'Neill - a month ago

Small pub, a bit overcrowded and not much fresh air. Place itself nothing special, but live music was perfect! In addition: Didn't know that the place was Amy Winehouse favorite hiding place.

Wonderful late night experience here. My first time trying bibimbap and won’t be my last! Service was impeccable for a 9.30 walk in of 9 people. Food deliciously fresh and super tasty!
Trina - in the last week

One of my favourite casual spots for food in Soho. The food is delicious, the service is speedy and overall excellent. You can almost always get a walk in table as soon as you arrive, as well. The selection of toppings for your bibimbap is vast, and I do quite like their fried chicken with the miso sauce, as well. All in all, for an unfussy dinner spot in Soho, I can’t really fault it. Great iced tea, too!
Ivan Markov - a month ago

One of my favourite Korean places in Central London. The bimbimbap is super satisfying (actually, I'd probably rate it the best in London, though I think the beef bimbimbap is now a tad too dear for me). I've had the fried chicken too. It's a small off the beaten track and the only reason I knew about it was because a friend brought me here. There's an upstairs and downstairs. Service is great. I've come here on my own because it's that good! It's one of the secret spots you don't want too many people to know about because then it becomes too trendy and you can never get a table.
E.M. Blake - a month ago

Ok sooo, I was very disappointed, the fried squid was good but the bibimbap was neutral, it was a bit bland, that even with soy sauce and miso I still only ate the half of it. I was also surprised that we had to pay a service fee (which was not mentioned). So I do not recommend this place unless you want something bland and without spices. And the service fee was really annoying and put me off for the whole evening.
Femke Bakker - a month ago

The food looks amazing but it lack the flavor. Had the beef bolgoggie Bibimbap with raw egg and which lacked the flavor and marinade of a Korean BBQ. The spicy calamari had no spice at all. The service and hospitality need some attention. After, guid me down stairs and left me chose a table, followed by taking my order I was told I’ll be move in the middle of the meal if they had more customers!! Now, this is a good place to start if you want to be introduced to Korean Food.

One of the best places to have an all vegetarian meal. It’s located in a temple premises and all their food is our vegetarian without onion and garlic but you can’t tell by the taste as it’s really nice. A self service style restaurant where you order at the counter from a buffet style display , pay at the till and sit down to eat.
P. G. - a week ago

Such good value. Yes it is not table service but we found a perfectly good spot. Delicious food for very reasonable prices. You do eat and leave but for the quality of food and location, who cares? Great for my vegan wife but perfectly nice even as a non vegetarian.
Rob - in the last week

Such a different and authentic place in the middle of the busy London Center. Don't expect table service and to have your own table. You order and take your food at the counter, pay, and find a seat. But damn the food is good. My plate was The Hungry One for £12.95 and was more food than I needed. We also shared the Spinach Pie for £5.50 straight out of gluttony. Never seen such spinach in one dish. It was great. You can also just have a few sides to make your own dish, all reasonably priced. Great little gem of a place.
Marcelo Scatena - a month ago

Very impressive environment. The people are very nice, the food was good as expected, sometimes too spicy, it wasn't easy job for our daughter to eat it all, but we made it. It was very noisy because it was full of people, either eating or waiting. In general we were satisfied 👍
Pavel Vraj - 2 months ago

If you are a tourist here from India, you will definitely not find it authentic or bland. The menu is funny, They provide just 1 chapati with a giant thali, the rest you have to purchase. With a mini meal no chapati. I wonder how they eat vegetables. Chapati is not like the regular ones found in north India. They call a simple bun or pav as a bread roll. May be good for people with no spice taste buds, definitely simple and might not be for Indians. I would give it 5/10. Just hyped!

The food was good, not great. The beef was succulent and tender. The family of shrimps was tasty, the lamb was smelling super strong. The wine choices are limited but most pared well with the dishes. We were happy with our glasses. The atmosphere - during dinner, it’s like being in the market. The noise, OMG The service - surprisingly phenomenal. We met 2 of the friendliest and happiest waiting staff in the whole London. So I would be happy to come back for them.

5 small red shrimps was really great especially its head part, sweet & juicy and to me the classic croquettes was top from other places I have ever tried. But just the fish that was new thing for me but I personally don’t like its smell.

Always a great experience at Barrafina. Have visited here several times over the past 10 years and the food quality is always top notch and consistent. Highly recommend for authentic Spanish tapas food in central London!
Kelly Tann - a week ago

Waitress was very helpful explaining the menu. Great that we found a table outside. I think indoor is very noisy and crowded. The tortilla was amazing - it is just something else and the the fired cod was spot on
Abdulla Janahi - a month ago

Simply the best tapas I have ever tried in my life. Everything was just so well executed and delicious. It is walk-in only so make sure to come early or you will have to queue (we waited around 45min).

The service wonderfully polite and efficient. The food was perfectly spiced. I enjoyed the eggplant curry with a side of bread. I also sampled the fried lentil donuts with chutney. The food and service are well worth the value. Would highly recommend.
Emma Franceschi - 4 months ago

I really enjoyed the evening out. The service was exemplary. We tried vegetarian dishes. There are few options for vegetarian. There were lots of non-veg dishes that I would love to taste next time. The food was amazing, the flavour and seasoning on point. The blend of different spices is really good. Some dishes were spicy. I liked mango salad, rasam kathirikai Kari kuzhambu. Please reserve the table before going, we didn't reserve it but managed to find a table but it seemed like a very busy restaurant. The price is reasonable and the food is very tasty. So worth the trip. Overall it's an excellent restaurant and nice place to spend with group of people.
Lourds Clary - 4 months ago

It was nice atmosphere and easy to go alone. I had lamb curry. It was quite a spicy but good for me because I love spicy food. If you are not good at spicy food, please have a mild one. The chai after the meal was also satisfying.

Chettinad Restaurant is a gem for those who enjoy South Indian cuisine. The thali, a three-course meal, was exceptionally flavorful and offered a great way to sample various dishes. The service was warm and welcoming. Highly recommended!

2nd time here and honestly thanks for other reviews that pushed me to come here. What can i say? NO REGRETS AT ALL. I’m a Malaysian traveling often to London, far too long was duped by many indians restaurants lol. But this restaurant is like my mom’s kitchen. Having south indian taste buds it will never lie to you, so every food I ordered, the portion, taste and freshness was on the dot. I cannot ask more. Price is affordable, atmosphere is classy nearby shopping hotspot. My favorites are thosai with coconut chutney, masala tea, thali set, melagu kholi! Now back to work in Paris with full stomach. Thank God for South Indians lol, life is colorful!
