Apostrophe - Market Place in City of London, Westminster

Delicious food, amazing service

Probably the best Greek food in London. All produce is fresh and every dish tastes amazing.

The place and food are very pretty and esthetic. However, the price is too high. I was disappointed to find out that the online menu and the actual one are not the same. Also, on their website, it seem like they have lunch menu everyday, which is not the case.

Quite nice Greek restaurant in central London. The food was delicious, even though the portions were relatively small. Quite friendly staff and nice atmosphere! I would dine again at 1905 London.

Amazing place with Greek flavors in the heart of London.

Food was nice and well presented. The food was good value for money in central London but the wines were expensive so limiting choice if you are on a budget. My partner had a vegan stifado which she liked but felt it lacked the depth of flavour of a home cooked one. I had the lamb kebab which I really enjoyed, not overcooked or dry. Our starters, stuffed vine leaves and feta rolls were great. Service was pleasant and relaxed, just what you want and we didn’t feel any pressure to hurry our lunch. All in a a great place to eat away from the chain restaurants.

Wonderful ambience and delicious food inspired from traditional Cretan recipes.

Food was plentiful and delicious. We had the chestnut stifado and the smoked pork steak. Staff were attentive and friendly. Good atmosphere. Great value for money.

We had dinner here for the third time, twice last year, once this year. The food here is exceptional... very well presented.. very tasty.. I would say the best authentic greek food around... such a good find.. the young lady serving us was also lovely... this place should be packed... a hidden gem.

I've been here a few times - it's a good restaurant with good food. This is the first time I've tried the new lunch menu. It's well priced with lots of options. Vine leaf starter was good as was the Greek salad. My main was disappointing, chicken gyros. It looked like I bowl of leftover - thrown in - not enough meat or potatoes (which were also like left over pieces). The flavour was there and I wanted to like it but the presentation and portion size was not good. My friends had the lamb kebab, which I wish I had ordered too! Good portion and they said it was delicious. Service was also a little disinterested too. Good value and have had much better service and meals here.

Food is amazing! Great atmosphere! 100% worth a trip!

Nice selection of Greek wines... Orange wine was good.

Would highly recommend! The staff are incredibly gracious and welcoming. We had a great evening! Will definitely be going back!

Great food, really friendly service. My friends and I shared starters, a salad, a main, a bottle of wine, and a dessert. Loved all of it. Especially the main (beef cheeks). Σας ευχαριστώ

I have been a foodie for over 20 years, I have travelled all over the world and eaten at the best restaurants. This restaurant is by far one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to, and definitely the worse Greek restaurant I have visited. This restaurant is an embarrassment to Greece! The food is terrible, the service is below average, AVOID AVOID AVOID !

Very efficient and friendly service. Excellent oysters. Too much vinegar and rosemary in the snails. Too much acid/lemon in the greens. Main of antikristo was excellent. Braised Lamb was great but potatoes were very chalky - maybe due to undercooking or variety used. Dessert was great. Decent wine. No loo roll in toilets and shampoo was being used in lieu of hand soap.

Wonderful Greek place with the best ambiance! (and desserts are 💙)

Super nice little restaurant. The dishes weren't huge but still delicious. We all definitely enjoyed it very much.

Food was good but I don’t think worth full price on the menu. Service was a bit slow but servers were friendly. Would have to try more food on the menu to give a more thorough review.

Came here as saw on first table and was amazing. The food was delicious and wine selection great. The tacos were a surprising highlight, although the lamb was slightly dry but still delicious. The staff were super helpful choosing the wine and very friendly. They could have topped up our wine glasses more frequently but that is a minor point.

We came for my friends birthday. The service was excellent as was the food. I was able to have a vegan option which was beautiful and the flavours were excellent. My friend had a lamb dish was she thoroughly enjoyed.

The lamb was absolutely delicious

Great place, a little gem in the neighbourhood!

Very good food and very good atmosphere, the service was also very friendly!! I recommend!

We had a lovely lunch, two starters and two mains with wine. A filo pastry with courgettes and cheese and a stuffed pitta with greek yoghurt for starters. For main we had a chestnuts stifado and lamb with greens and a croquette.

Really solid breakfast, great service.

Overall disappointing experience. The food was ok, but we found some of the staff member’s behaviour rude and disappointing. They seem to give some customers preferential treatment, while they do not really care for the custom of others. They need to specify on their online booking system where the table is located. Despite having a booking we were placed outside at a pavement table. This would not have been our choice as it is not pleasant when it’s chilly and the road (and pavement) has constant traffic. We asked politely if we can be moved inside just to be rudely told that they are keeping the inside tables for bigger groups (we were only 3). Cherry on top was that the inside tables never got really full while we were there and they also moved another group of 3 inside when they requested it (preferential treatment). Won’t be returning or recommending this restaurant to friends and family.

Had a lovely meal of excellently presented high quality food & wonderful friendly service. Didn’t get a photo, but recommend the beef cheeks. Will be back for sure.

Amazing atmosphere food, service and coffee.

The best food, especially on Easter Sunday, better than Greece!!! 😘🙏 The lamb is unique!!!!!

Great experience having lunch in this incredible Greek restaurant inspired by the Cretan cuisine. I'll definitely come back and taste more dishes on their menu.

Lamb with potato (tsigariosto) was amazing. the cretan pot was original but had too many potatoes in it. kataifi nest amazing. Cool vibe and service. We had 50% off with the fork app, otherwise it'd be too expensive.

Delicious spot - the Tamara, the dakos salad, the Cretan pot, the kantaifi nest and the boureki were outstanding (the mushroom pitaiki, the chestnut dish, the tacos and the lobster raviolini were alright). Service was alright, our server seemed a bit confused when we asked her pretty standard questions though the food came at a good pace and without issue. Cute vibe, the ground level is great for brunch and and evening vibe (especially on a warm day).

A wonderful evening - we were so well looked after with the most delicious authentic food in a fabulous intimate atmosphere. The chef was so friendly, knowledgeable and the courses were faultless

For me, the best Greek in London! We tried lots of stuff, all of them were delicious, but my favourites were boureki, tsigariasto lamb and kataifi nest! We really did want to try the desserts but we were all super full from all the food! 🤪 Service is absolutely fantastic! Congrats for the good job! Will definitely come back to try more stuff! 😋

Stopped for a quick drink and nibble and were not disappointed. The Bloody Mary was one of the best I’ve had in London, and the bread came with butter, oil and flaky salt. I’ll definitely come back to try a full dinner here, especially the large variety of organic wines which all looked amazing!

Very nice and authentic Cretan dishes (Sfakiani pita, Cayanas) but found the portion small.

Came here for an early dinner before heading to a show nearby and honestly had the best time. The venue is the perfect balance between cool and cosy with lots of attention to detail re. tableware, fresh flowers, etc. The food was incredible - I'm already a big Greek food fan, but the depth of flavour in the dishes was amazing. I love it when you go to a restaurant and have food that you know you could never recreate at home. Alongside the fabulous food, the wine selection is fab - vast with a nice sway towards a natural/hands off approach. Not to be intimidated by though as the wonderful team were there to assist with recommendations. We felt so well looked after, and I will definitely be heading back soon. Since my dinner last night, I have told about 20 people to run not walk to 1905.

Excellent food, very welcoming staff and great atmosphere. Perfect for a nice lunch or dinner in central London. Great selection of lamb based mains - they are some of the best I found in the city.

Everything we had was delicious, and we had a lot!

Just had a quick lunch, food very good, nice corner location.

Amazingly creative and wonderfully delicious

Food was good but nothing special, very few gluten free options which is strange for a greek restaurant. Portions were quite small and overpriced, the meat was very dry (not sure if it’s because the sauce had to be removed to cater for gluten free allergy). I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews from people without allergies but as celiacs we wouldn’t go back.

Mediocre food and not entirely authentic cretan cuisine. Good service.

Lovely atmosphere and interesting Cretan dishes.

Everything we ordered was perfect. Amazing service and great atmosphere. Amazing desserts. We loved the lichnarakia. We also tried the London version of koliva haha.

Meeting up with special friends, went here on a local recommendation, a top tip. Elegant cocktails to start, spicy margarita was a hit. Then the food, oh my what a treat. Attentive service from knowledgable staff will help you make good wine and food pairings, these guys know their stuff. Delicious, tarama roe, a rich fishy delight, elegantly presented with pickled seaweed, tiny green strawberries, fat caper berries, and anchovies. The green pickles cutting delightfully with the creamy roe. Wild greens well presented, lovely char on the batons of courgettes, tasty tomatoes and a sprinkle of umami cheesiness. Mains, favourites were sea bass , chicken fricasee and the Cretan wedding pilaf, a mighty dish. Completely stuffed we had no room for dessert. Attentive staff paced the arrival of dishes well for our enthusiastic social, letting us have a good time together whilst never going without some tasty morsel. Not cheap eats, but worth every penny, good value for such tasty dishes. Thank you all at 1905 for a delightful evening.

Some dishes are delicious, like the lamb and chicken stew, was close to michelin star restaurant, others are overambitious; lamb rack, for example, too many elements that were not tied together by a sauce; potato croquett has nothing to do with the dish. The staff are very nice and polite, top marks, the music is not right for the ambiance and volume should be lower.

Good food, the potato with crab was delicious. Risotto was also nice.

Really enjoyable lunch - sitaroto and chestnut stifado were 2 highlights following the very tasty Cretan pittakia: enjoyable authentic food in a relaxed environment. Visit this one in Mortimer Street

Excellent vibe and the best dining experience! Transported straight back to our holidays in Crete. The wine list is endless, very interesting spirit and cocktail list, too. Ten stars for service. Must try the melon daiquiri :D. Thanks to the team for a most enjoyable evening with friends.

Nothing special for the price you pay. Mediocre food, tasteless and very expensive. Service was good though,the waitress was attentive and kept asking how everything was. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Had a great meal here. Food was excellent, great flavours matched by attentive service. Recommend.

I definetely don’t recommend. We had a cold taco as starter and main dishes were so simple and did not taste well. Wine menu was unnecessarily expensive. The only good thing was the nice lady serving for us.

We visited that restaurant with my friends and we really enjoyed it. The food was really great and the service outstanding. They were very attentive and polite. We will definitely come back.

Delicious food and great service! I highly recommend this restaurant. You will have a great culinary experience!

Disappointed to write this as was recommended this by a colleague and it had a history of good reviews but was a total let down. 8 of us met for our annual pre Christmas evening meal - we always try somewhere independent around Soho so a cosy neighbourhood Greek restaurant should fit the bill. It did not. The service was shocking with one of the team (older guy) openly hostile (when not on his phone at the bar). I arrived solo and waited 10 mins before asking if I could perhaps order a drink only to be snapped at ‘I will be with you in a minute’ (the restaurant had like 3 other tables) and then it was the same once the rest of my party arrived. They were out of pretty much half the wine menu but rather than make constructive suggestions to similarly priced alternatives, tried to upsell us bottles that costed £20/30 more. The food - it was delicious but again they’d run out of a few things (make it clear when handing out the menus / utilise a chalkboard??) and we did have to return my main as it was lukewarm (and then took another 10 minutes to return). As were a few other dishes but the girls didn’t want to complain. Given service with a smile seemed to be a foreign concept and the menu was so restricted because of shortages and we just weren’t having that great an experience, at dessert time we decided to instead just call in at evening and head for a nightcap at a pub nearby. Given it was Christmas and despite the bill being around £600 we still tipped but in retrospect I wish we hadn’t given the rude & coldness of the two male staff members. Do better.

Tear up the handbook on what you thought Greek food is. The food was authentic Cetan food and was fabulous. The staff were Greek and advised on everything from food to wine. Now a convert of GOOD Greek wine. Will return.

Amazing service, food was delicious.

A fabulous surprise this morning when we stumbled across 1905 London for brunch. Fantastic service, friendliness and food. An oasis!

We held our office Christmas party here for 20 people, they were really helpful in working with us and made it a great event. Food and wine were delicious and much enjoyed by all. Thanks team 🙏

Comida, ubicación y servicio excelente

We waited 1.5 hours for our order! The food is like fast food! It’s very cold in the cafe, you don’t even have to take off your coat! I had this feeling of heartburn all evening!

Great atmosphere for Brunch on a Saturday morning! The Voutas eggs is highly recommended! Definitely will come back for lunch or dinner as the menu looks so exciting!

Incredibly nice people, very versed in their food and wine. We tried the Orange wine, I strongly suggest you do as well. The food, atmosphere is perfect. Best restaurant Ive visited in London for a long time.

The food is so delicious and we enjoyed every dish and drink

A place you should visit.....!!!! Very tasty meal with Cretan flavors...in the heart of London..all the dishes we taste were fantastic 😋 👌 😀 😉!!!!!

Great place - had dinner with my friends, cosy atmosphere, good food and nice wine selection

Just cocktails with a dear friend of mine. The staff were attentive and friendly. We ended up talking until Kostas, politely told us to settle the bill. Next Time will be food and wine 😊

Had an amazing experience for Brunch at the 1905. Went with friends to explore this Greek-style restaurant and was not disappointed. Ordered the Eggs & Soldiers together with a Freddo Cappuccino. The poached eggs were spot on and the potatoes were deliciously seasoned as well. The Freddo Cappuccino reminded me of my holidays in Greece so really authentic cuisine and drinks! The place itself is superb in decorations and has a lot of Instagram-worthy views. Highly recommended, will be a regular from now on for sure!

An authentic Greek experience! From cozy atmosphere to impeccable flavors, every bite was a delight. The Antikristo was delicious. A must-visit for any food lover! Can't wait to return! 🇬🇷🍴

Very tasty food, nice staff. Great decor.

Perfect in every way! Authentic experience!

Came for a late night meal - were warmly greater by the team, serviced promptly and with a huge smile. Lamb chops were excellent.

Went with Greek friends on recommendation. Food was well cooked and tasty. Prices are pretty high and you could easily spend £50 per person with beverage. Not your average prices even in London.

Some interesting recipes eg salad pot. But also some average food (and I am in good position to judge, as I am cretan) but definitely not 'average' prices. Service good

Superb food!! Way better than expected. Can’t wait to go back.

The starters and service are excellent, the mains were good, but more than £50 for only a starter and a main is quite expensive for what it is.

What a great find! We needed a place to dine before our concert at nearby Wigmore Hall, and this place was perfect. Outstanding food, very friendly and professional service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We will definitely be going back.

Authentic Cretan food! Nice atmosphere! Super kind service !

Exceptional service and great observation by the staff in regards to our taste needs. Very good recommendation from the staff on how to improve the taste of the food with a proper bottle of whine. Strongly recommend it.

We had a fantastic experience at this Greek brunch restaurant in London. The atmosphere was quite authentic, transported me straight to Greece. The service was great, the coffee was quite good and perfectly complementing our rich and flavourful brunch. We ordered Dressed-up, Tsigarista and Voutas, all of which were delicious

This is a lovely place. Small but not crushed. Service was impeccable. The menu is imaginative and different. Also the wine list was a surprise. Relaxing, delicious cretan food perfectly presented. I will definitely be coming back.

As great as the reviews said. Delicious Cretan food (sophisticated Greek food) served in charming surroundings (love the huge windows which were open when we were there on a balmy night) and warm, personable service. Like a visit to a tavern on Crete run by a caring family. Go!

Excellent wine bar restaurant in the heart of London with Greek-Cretan flavours Very wide selection of conventional and natural wines from all over the world, specialising in Greek wines A very nice effort I recommend it !

An authentic experience at the only Cretan restaurant in central London. We were delighted with the presentation and taste of the breakfast dishes we went for. The service was immaculate in terms of speed and accommodation when we asked to move to a sunny spot outside. I would definitely recommend it!

Wonderful Turkish food and wine. Friendly owner and staff

Met a friend for an early dinner after work, walked in completely randomly, and had a great experience. Outdoor seating was great for the 3 days of British summer we had in August. Staff was very friendly. And the food took me back to the Greek holiday last summer. Will definitely be coming back (also for the large selection of Greek wines)! Highly recommend! PS. That is not a pot, it’s an amazing starter!

Unfortunately not a great experience. The mains were overcooked (one lamb, one pasta). The prices are incredibly high given its a pretty casual place with food that's quite average quality. The portions are very, very large, which might appeal to some.

Me encanto la Carne deliciosa y muy jugosa. Sin duda gran chef volveré!

Gamopilafo, pickles , skioufihta Best meal ever. Meat saucy and delicious. Compliments to the chef

I am a returning customer. The first time that I went to their shop, I was with a friend. We both enjoyed a glass of white wine, the Cretan pot, boureki and midopilafo (mussels risotto). The second time that we went there, we had a glass of red wine, the gamopilafo and for dessert we had the Cretan sweet cheese pies ( lichnarakia). The gamopilafo brought back memories of Cretan weddings, and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be coming back!!

Very nice atmosphere, food was delicious, and it is perfect for a business meeting as well. I will visit it again.

The atmosphere is so cozy, the staff are so accomodating and polite and the food is ouuuf!! Gamopilafo is one of the most delicious dishes I ve ever tasted in a Greek restaurant where I usually not tend to visit as I am Greek and I can not easily compromise with something less than good traditional greek food. Also, in love with the taramas both as a share dish but especially as the mini welcome tarts.. Kudos to the chef! Recommended 1000%

I have visited the restaurant multiple times. Unfortunately, my last experience was utterly disappointing and felt like a pure robbery. The gamopilafo was old and served cold. As far as I am concerned, serving food cold is not a tradition in Greece, particularly in Crete, where they would, for sure, express their disapproval in their colorful but honest manner if you treat them this way. The waitress, who I believe has been trained to dismiss customers, did not even try to offer an excuse or ask me to elaborate further. I do not know whether you are laundering money through this place, and honestly, I do not care. However, considering the fact that I have been a loyal customer, I reckon that I deserve at least a proper excuse for this disgraceful experience which left me with a terrible stomachache and which will definitely be my last.

Just came for dinner with my friends and had a fantastic meal. The food was great - highly recommend!

This place is absolutely incredible. Lovely atmosphere, good music, friendly staff… and ofcouse finger licking food (and let’s not forget the amazing wines they’re serving…). Wauw. It’s a 10 out of 10 for me ! TIP: try the Gamopilafo with an orange wine;)

What a lovely restaurant in the heart of London ! With great cretan food, some of the finest wines and friendly atmosphere it s the place I never miss to visit when I m in London You should find and feel like home at that Cretan gem !

Superb restaurant. We loved all the dishes we tried and found them really unique. Will be back again ☺️

So lovely place !!! The food is amazing and the staff very friendly! Definitely I will recommended and come back again
