Bbar in City of London, Westminster

The restaurant is next door to the Rubens at the Palace which is where we were staying. The food is very good and the maitre'd Ian is the best. He's friendly outgoing and attentive to all his customers. We enjoyed him as much as we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant was busy but not over crowded. Definitely a good spot for a meal.

A very friendly staff and an amazing Afternoon Tea. The price is competitive and everything tasted great. I'd definitely recommend it to everybody!

Really attentive and friendly service from start to finish. We had excellent afternoon tea and everything was delicious

Amazing team, friendly and attentive to every need.

I got a reservation because I assumed it would be busy due to theatre crowd. Surprised to see restaurant was almost empty. I’d say everything was just average. Disappointed theatre menu consisted only of a cheeseburger or fish and chips or vegan option. Had a long wait for everything with showtime approaching. With service charge a cheeseburger a fish and chips and one drink (which was excellent) was over $75 pounds. Will look for other options next time.

We went to Bbar to have their fish and chip afternoon for our twin daughters 12th birthday whilst we were in London. It was easy to find and a great location - very close to Buckingham Palace and St James Park. The afternoon tea was so delicious, lots of food and very reasonably priced. The staff went out of their way to give us a fantastic experience and were super friendly. They also do a traditional afternoon tea and normal menu. The girls had a rrally pretty and tasty non alcoholic cocktail which made them feel all grown up and special. Best afternoon tea we've had. We highly recommend to everyone.

We had a meal, we ate very well, the service was impeccable, the water was offered and served in our glasses, we had a good time.

Good food choices and excellent service. Nice drinks list too. Went there for a business related meeting and it's a great venue for drinks or friends and families too.

A very nice establishment in the Buckingam district, bar and restaurant, we went there to eat, a very good cocktail to then start with different dishes; pastrami sandwich for me, wings and a burger for our teenagers, an orrechiete dish for my partner, accompanied by an excellent Argentinian Malbec, a very friendly waitress with quality service, here we serve you a glass of water upon arrival, we had a great time...

A comida é boa e o atendimento é amigável, mas não justificam o preço cobrado, mesmo para os padrões da cidade, ou os 15% de serviço incluídos na conta. 27 gbp por um prato normal de fish and chips. 23 gbp por um hambúrguer gostoso, mas que não era nada demais.

Bbar is fire 🔥. My wife and I came for a late night bite. The lights were dim which made it cozy. With me being vegetarian, I ordered the Dirty Vegan and lemme tell ya... Just MUAH! Paired with the fries, a match made in heaven. My wife ordered the lobster spaghetti which was also tasty. I'd recommend this place to anybody.

Stopped by for a late evening bite with family. It wasn’t too busy. Was greeted promptly as we entered and shown to a seat by the window. Menu’s arrived and server came back shortly for our drink and food order. We just ended up ordering a few small plates and one in party had a chicken burger. Drinks arrived and food in a timely manner. Nice and hot and found them of good quality. No interruptions while we sat and chatted. Cleared the tab up and we were wished a pleasant night. It’s very near Buckingham Palace so handy if you’re in the area.

The food is delicious. The location is quite convenient, right on the road, and in the tourist area.

Our London version of “Cheers”. Great bartenders. Excellent selection of interesting gins. Nice people. Being next to our hotel was a bonus.

Nice cocktails with tasty snacks with a great atmosphere and friendly staff

I was here for a South African night. Food was ok but not great portions.

Excellent service and cocktails

While BBar came highly recommended by reviews, we were very disappointed. Most certainly not worth the £162 for 3 drinks - 2 of which were sent back. The wine was off and the other wrong mix, though both replace with limited fuss - 1 bottle of water, 3 appetizers, 3 entrees. The appetizers were well presented and pleasant though exceptionally salty. The entrees were lackluster at best. The buttermilk chicken burger was undercooked and chewey and contained items not listed. Fish and chips can be skipped as your local chippy will do it better. The BBQ chicken salad wilted and overwhelmed by the dressing. Over all not sure what the hype is about other than the convenient location. Will not be returning.

One of the best meals I ever had ! The apple pie with the ice-cream is amazing and we were very well served !

Was looking forward to the Fish & chips afternoon tea as a birthday treat. Did tell restaurant but not acknowledged. Food was well presented and tasty. However, menus stated came with pickled egg and curry sauce, both missing, but still on the menu. Sadly we didn’t realise until we left and reflected. Pleasant server although wrong cocktail delivered it was quickly changed. Nice enough but wouldn’t recommend for a special occasion especially with 15% added for service.

Attended yesterday with my mum for the fish and chip afternoon tea. We were very warmly greeted by all staff upon our arrival as they were standing by the bar and taken to our seat. Huge portions of afternoon tea were quickly served within minutes alongside our drinks made to order. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely, nothing too much trouble. Totally worth every penny. Our main waitress was a lovely european lady with red hair, her service was immaculate, she was extremley friendly and attentive but not too much that we couldnt enjoy our time. We were also served by a younger african lady with long hair, she was also faultless and so kind when speaking to us. Both of these ladies are a credit to the team. Apologies for being descriptive about staff members but they didnt have name badges and I wanted to give them a special mention. I overheard a conversation between one of the male staff members, i think the manager? And another table who had a lot of requests+. Both myself and my mother noted how accomodating he was and went above and beyond to give the customers a great experience. We have already recommended to friends and family and look forward to returning! Thankyou for a great time.

We went yesterday for a team fish & chip afternoon tea for 10 people. The food and service was fantastic. A big thank you to our waiter. There was so much food and we had plenty to take away. We were there at 2.30 so the place was very quiet and did lack a bit of atmosphere but I’m when it busier it would be buzzy.

Très bon restaurant proche de Buckingham Palace, nous y avons été bien reçu et le repas (pâtes - hamburger) était délicieux. Le personnel a été très attentif à que tout se passe bien. Plutôt prix élevé mais le rapport qualité prix est bon.

Nice little bar right next to our hotel! (Hotel 41)

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for the friendly service, reasonable prices, and wonderful atmosphere. I truly appreciate the experience and send my best regards!

Fantastic food, place and staff!!!!!

We had the afternoon tea. The food was very mediocre, with the pistachio pastries having nauseatingly bland and fatty cream filling. Brioche buns instead of finger sandwiches is interesting, but the method of filling them is absurd. It was far too much bread compared to the toppings.

We went here for lunch when my friend was visiting. The location is perfect, near Buckingham Palace and Victoria Station. The restaurant is visually stunning and inviting. Sophia was our waitress and was courteous, efficient and friendly, so a big thank you to her. The food was really tasty. We had the salt beef sandwich, a Chicken Caesar salad and two burgers. Everything was delicious and perfectly presented. I would highly recommend a visit. Ten out of ten.

Very friendly service. Amazing food. And good value for money

We reserved a table in the Bbar restaurant for the evening via the homepage in the morning. The reservation via the portal was easy and worked perfectly. We were warmly welcomed and served straight away. We can recommend fish and chips and The Son of a Gun Burger. The food was very tasty and fresh. Great selection of cocktails.

Lovely food, pleasant staff excellent customer service and fairly quiet. Good location. Cocktails were ok. My only point would be time. We had the pretheatre lunch and took 2 hours so we had to pay for a taxi rather than tube to the show.

The BBar , went there for afternoon tea , and fish & chips , very good food and the staff was great too , the inside is fabulous , even the mens .

First time there, what a place, was greeted by the waiter ,and shown our table, water was brought to us ,and the menu, we said that we have pre booked and was having the Chip Shop Fish & chips Afternoon Tea , she came back with the right menu, we asked about the tea and she said that Flavoured Rooibos was good 👍 so we had the Sunshine Orange, Totonac Vanilla, and it's our first time to try the tea ,it was very good tea 🍵. The fish & chips ,was 🍟 good, oh the cakes was great 👍, we had a good time and enjoyed the food 😀, A big thanks to all the staff who worked very hard ,and looked after us 😀, will be back there next time ⏲️:)

Dreadfully slow. Food was just okay, but came out almost cold. Also seems entirely too expensive for the quality of what was given.

Great venue with nice vibe and close to Apollo Victoria Theatre.

I was at Bbar a couple of weeks ago. It has a really lovely atmosphere and environment! The drinks were extremely nice and generous. Although it was quite busy the service managed beyond expectations.

Booked to watch the England quarter final match. They had offers on including 16 chicken wings and 4 X bottle of beer for £25. Food excellent, service fantastic with tentative staff who were always smiling and friendly. A great atmosphere and one of our go to places in London when we visit!

Been a favourite for 22 years..

Had spectacular lunch, all 4 of us had something different. Excellent service excellent food, great drinks, wonderful atmosphere what more can you ask for. We watched the Gun salute and air display and hot footed it to Bbar for lunch. Perfect end to good time thank you.

We had a lovey Cream Tea here. The food was well presented and very tasty. The Brioche rolls and scones were light and fresh. Good tea and drink selection. The restaurant had pleasant decor great background music and was clean. One of the best cream teas. My only criticism is the jam was cheap and a little bland.

Always accommodating for walk-ins. I went with my parents and my dad really liked it! The burger and salad 🥗 options were delicious, it was full of flavour and portion is great. My dad really liked his cocktails as well! Managers and staff are lovely, restaurant is nice and cozy! It’s for all season and location was spot on across Nova site in Victoria !

Next to the hotel The Reubens at the Palace. Great food and wonderful food and staff. Shouldn't miss this restaurant.

Sehr leckere, große Burger mit tollen Pommes. Der Salat mit Chicken ist ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen, gilt auch für Fish and Chips. Schneller, freundlicher ServiceZ

Very lovely atmosphere, we visited on a late evening and found it absolutely amazing for a quiet conversation while enjoying some wine. Had the bbar’s Famous Toastie but not crazy about it: found it a bit stringy, it could have been more creamy inside. Great place, we'll be back for sure.

One of the better meals we had on vacation. They were very nice and the food was solid. On a busy corner so you can people watch.

We thought the food was good here and good staff who served us.

Very good food and a really nice atmosphere. The staff are really kind.

Absolutely lovely place to eat. Came in for lunch with a friend. Atmosphere is very relaxed, staff are exceptional and the food is exquisite. Cannot recommend highly enough

Just had lunch In this fab little bar. Service was first class, the food was amazing and a really great price. Would definitely recommend you try it if looking for somewhere to eat/hang out.

Good value for money, courtesy and cleanliness

Above average afternoon tea. The sandwiches are actually small filled rolls, an interesting twist, though it does result in more bread and less filling. Nice flavours. The cakes were tiny but tasty and the scones were fine. Once you’ve taken repeats of tea/coffee/hot chocolate into account it’s pretty good value for the £30 per head (May 2024 price). You can also have fish & chips instead of rolls if you so desire. Lovely service and decoration.

Cool little place..Stopped in here for a bite to eat after visiting Buckingham palace from the bus tour. The salad was so crisp and huge for a "small". I also had the honeycomb ice cream which was to die for.

Popped in just for drinks. Nothing particularly inventive and we're fairly pricey. Did not try any food

Very rude and not friendly staff. We wanted to have a dinner, came to this place. But we walked before during few hours so firstly was needed to use a toilet. Staff was rude and said need to became a customer first and after ask about toilet. They don’t care that we would like to stay there. But with this attitude it will never happen. People for them are only “money”, but not a humans

Booked for the alternative fish & chip afternoon tea for a treat at the end of a busy day with my daughter. She is not a huge bread fan, so this alternative seemed perfect. What a result! The fish and chips were sublime! And scones and cakes perfect to finish off. The choice of various teas was amazing, and my daughters hot chocolate was dreamy! From walking through the door to leaving the service was excellent and all the staff we dealt with were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. Will definatly be back . Thank you x

Stopped here for lunch and really enjoyed the vegan burger with fries! Really nice place with options for everyone.

Fun, tasty and lots of (doggy bag)!

Very patient and helpful barman.

The nicest people, great service!!

Great experience at afternoon tea. Tasty food was plentiful. Staff was very attentive and friendly. The price was great, especially for the amount of food that we received. Large selection of teas, and a very delicious hot chocolate.

We had lunch here. We had chicken, fish and chips, kids size pasta and some sweet potato fries. They were all very good. The service was unbelievably amazing. Staff here were trying to cheer my daughter up and make her laugh, super nice and have sense of humor. Love this place.

Restaurant très bon. Serveurs très agréables et souriant. Les proportions sont plus que raisonnables. Nous recommandons leur ice-tea fait maison. Nous le recommandons pour ceux qui sont de passage sur Londres ☺️

A great place. Very clean, beautiful, comfortable, excellent food and great service. Thanks to Ien for his kindness and gracious service. Without a doubt a stop that was worth it. Totally recommended.

Lovely late lunch/early dinner whilst little sightseeing visit to London. Wonderful staff, nice wine choice & whilst not a La carte, really good food!

Got the South African High tea via Buyagift. Was a truly lovely afternoon with great food and excellent service.

A restaurant that I do not particularly recommend. We waited 40 minutes to be served 2 burgers which we ate in 10 minutes. I find it quite ironic to pay 6.- for the service when we waited more than we ate. The burger is nothing very special, it was even a little cold, I even wonder if they fell asleep while preparing our burger. However the fries were good and the place is nice. Too bad to have put us at the worst table, that is to say at the entrance, in the middle of the restaurant. I still have trouble understanding how we could have been forgotten while we were at this table.

They made the best hamburger I have ever eaten in my life, the service and ambiance were great, thank you.

Booked the fish and chips afternoon tea with my sister after lots of research and reading so many positive reviews of Bbar. We didn’t want anything too “stuffy” so we opted for a more relaxed bar vibe for an afternoon tea with a bit of a twist. At first we were seated in a really disappointing place - table shoved in a tight corner next to the waiter station and my view was of a row of sauce bottles. After I asked twice if we could move we were allowed (the restaurant was almost empty) and we were seated in a much nicer spot. Then came the food! Amazing! Delicious! And the service was excellent. We were there for nearly three hours and we weren’t rushed at all. I’ve only dropped one star off the rating because I think an inexperienced member of staff gave us a slightly poor first impression but these things count when you’re spending hard earned cash. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back the food was brilliant!

Friendly welcoming staff throughout experience. Extensive and delicious after tea for two. Would highly recommend.

We stopped in to have lunch after doing the TootBus hop-on, hop-off tour. We had the chicken sandwich and it tasted great. I had the lemonade mocktail drink that was delicious as well. Service was great as there were only two servers and they tended to everyone in an ample amount of time.

This was our first meal after arriving in London. Food was delicious. I had the fish and chips and it was large enough that I split it with my daughter. The location is excellent - right across the street from the Royal Mews. Easy walk to Buckingham palace. Staff was so friendly and fun. It was a perfect welcome to London. Only thing we didn’t like was the “pretzel bites” appetizer. They are literally a bowl of pretzels- not what we were expecting. All other food was excellent!

Great service, server was brilliant and added great care to our food orders, would definitely be back. Very warm atmosphere and great food

Attended here for there chip shop afternoon which all I can say is wow it was amazing so much food very tasty and friendly staff also great location next to Buckingham palace so we could also see the palace and walk through green park such a good day would definitely recommend and will be visiting again

Excellent location, delicious food, friendly and very kind staff... really a nice place... I would return to London just to return to this place. We ate fish and chips and two cocktails and hot chocolate and brownies, all delicious, and the cleanliness was also evident in the food..

We had a great experience here. Amazing brunch, great service and lovely ambience. I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic afternoon tea with a South African twist!

Had the fish and chip afternoon tea. It was huge and everything was lovely. Cakes were fresh and the actual fish and chips cooked lovely. Lots of choice for tea and coffee. The weather was awful and wasn’t rushed out so stayed for cocktails which were delicious. Service was friendly and attentive without being too in your face. We had a really lovely afternoon.

We stumbled across the Bbar on our walk around London and we were so happy that we did! Great service, great food and reasonably priced, we had the cheeseburger and chicken burger and I would highly recommend both! Really lovely staff too.

Amazing food and service fish and chips was amazing as the chees burger highly recommend !

Bon restaurant, nous avons pris le double cheesburger. Serveur sympathique et parle un peu le français ce qui est appréciable quand on est novice en anglais. Je recommande

French friends this comment is for you. Very good REAL restaurant, excellent welcome, really very friendly staff, the food is hearty and honestly good for English cuisine (it's quite rare!) The price is fair but be careful the price of the service is not indicated (we paid 7 pounds more, but deserved for this very welcoming staff).

Had a fantastic afternoon tea, chip shop style on Sunday (Feb 11th), followed by some of the best cocktails we've ever had...This place is lovely and we will be back for sure!

The fish and chip afternoon tea was a great idea and a much larger portion than expected. Luckily they had to go boxes as we didn't have room for all the cakes! The cheesecake in particular was really delicious!

Went there for just drinks Extensive drinks menu and the service was very good Would have ideally sat away from the people eating but overall a nice place with good people working there

A feast of food served in a lovely dining area. The staff were very attentive and we were not rushed to leave. We booked a table for afternoon tea at 1.30 and did not leave until 4.00 pm. The brioche rolls were freshly baked and the fillings were delicious. The platter of cakes were delightful as were the scones cream and jam. Everything baked in-house. Would definitely rebook. Handy for Victoria Station and the theatres in the area.

Had afternoon tea, fixed price, good deal for the the price. The savory bites were delicious, the scones were great but the sweets were meh. Note if you have a group of 4+ then you can add a glass of prosecco for free.

Just popped into here for a few drinks to relax with. Safe to say it was a great choice. The bar is very modern and clean and the staff are friendly. Didn't get food here as it was just a quick stop to put our feet up. Cocktails are also nice.

Very bad experience. We just ate a burger which seems like it would be pretty simple. The beef had a very very special smell and taste, €45 two burgers and tasteless fries. And without specifying, €5.50 “abuse costs” do not go there

Simply fantastic. Kind and quick service plus flavorful, fun dishes. Probably the best chicken schnitzel I’ve ever had – pure comfort food. And although the salt beef sandwich wasn’t on the menu, we asked for it and they brought it to us. Delicious!

A very pleasant pre- theatre meal. Friendly service, no delays. Simple but good food - just what was needed

What can I say... fraudulent ad... Arriving at the restaurant, we asked the waiter where the £45 menu that we had reserved on the fork was. He simply told us that it didn't exist, the only menu for £45 was three glasses of wine with grilled cheese toast that our tablemates had ordered. A disappointment from A to Z. the place is trendy, but the food needs to be reviewed. Caesar salad for £20 consisting mainly of salad and as a bonus chicken for an extra £8, fish and chips with frozen products... although it is still a specialty of the country! Plus the extra £10 on the bill (without anyone telling us) due to "service", because the waitress served us water three times is just pathetic. The restaurant was frequented by a majority of French people during this evening who were mostly disappointed. In short, I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant and even less your platform which sells non-existent services.

Tranquilo. Excelente para una bebida y una botana. Excelente servicio.

Ci aspettavamo il solito pub inglese e.....invece no! Ristorante elegante ma non formale, molto bello e con del buon cibo, porzioni abbondanti, diciamo che spendere 7€ per una fettina di torta in Italia o 8£ per una tortina intera con palla di gelato qui, ho speso volentieri gli 8£

We were late... But it wasn't a problem. Despite being behind 2 tables of 18, they served us as quickly as possible. Food was great. Lovely restaurant

Beautiful restaurant, great service and everyone loved their food! Highly recommend

Excellent atmosphere and good for a celebratory drink.

Office lunch, food was good fresh ingredients. Staff amazing good buzzy atmosphere.

A very nice place to meet up for a meal, I went with 5 friends the only disappointment was the salmon starter not much salmon but the main and desserts were of a high standard, the drinks were a little expensive, we were not rushed so overall a very enjoyable afternoon.

Had an absolutely amazing saturday night for my Girlfriend 30th Birthday. Got seated in a great location in the restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The waiter was great. I wish I got his name as he deserves praise for his service, humour and style. Also had a very good waitress that served also. Quite busy night. Food when it came was exceptional from the A la carte menu. Amazing Chef. Prices expected from being in the heart of London so around £70-80 per person for Starter, main, desert and drinks. Also accommodating for my Girlfriends birthday was an amazing memorable night. Thankyou BBar. Would definately recommend and return again.

Tok en tur innom for ett par øl og en drink. Ble godt mottatt og det var et trivelig sted. Bestillte noen kyllingvinger som smakte fortreffelig. Anbefales.

Situato vicino alla stazione Victoria, veniamo subito accolti da una cameriera gentilissima, il cibo tutto buono, nota di merito per la tortina di mele, che siamo tornati ad assaggiare prima di ripartire l’ultimo giorno.
