Bistro One Ninety Queen's Gate in City of London, Westminster

I strongly recommend you don't go for the fishcake lunch. We were presented with just one measly fishcake with a sprig of parsley for £15 !! It was certainly nothing special and terrible value for money! -----------------------------------------------

We had breakfast here twice. Staff was attentive and friendly. Good Cappuccino and plenty of hot dishes to choose from. My favorite was the mushrooms and poached egg on toast, it was delicious.

Great location for a pre show meal at the Royal Albert Hall. Had the two course meal although the steak was quite small, my fish dish was not hot so had to be warmed but service very attentive, ambience lovely, and we enjoyed it. Pricey for drinks at £5 for a peppermint tea! Nevertheless it was 4 mins from the show, would recommend it!

A friendly, welcoming and comfortable place. The bar was great for a cuppa and snacks. The pre- concert dinner was great quality. We loved it : )

We had a Prom concert at the Royal Albert Hall at 7:30 so needed somewhere we could dine early. I googled " trip advisor Restaurants near the Albert Hall) and this was on the list- I had not heard of it but apparently it reopened recently. There was a good recent review so we booked a table for 5:30, The pre-theatre menu is very reasonable at £30 for 2 courses and £35 with three choices of starter, ,main and dessert including vegetarian options. The salmon was delicious, served unusally with avocado and orange, One of us had the trout and the other the chicken, both very tasty, In addition we had lovely warm bread rolls , and in the end had two of these each, We decided not to have a dessert as we were a little short of time, and felt satisfactorily full. We did not have wine as all the glasses of wine are in double figures and although they were very good wines and orobably worth the price, the very reasonable 3 course meal of £35 , made a £12 glass of wine disproportionate by comparison. Maybe they could have an additional basic house red or white on offer, otherwise service waqs friendly and prompt, and the dining are attractive.

Friendly efficient service; excellent quality food. Would certainly dine here again.

Lovely experience all round. Would’ve been nice to have the option of a side salad or side dish of veg with main course.

Pre-theatre menu - very nice food. Attentive service. Nice bar afterwards.

Very tasty food nice and quick service. Ideal for before theatre bite. Mushroom risotto absolutely delicious, portions perfect size. Will certainly go again

Overall very good, would have given outstanding but the rice in the mushroom risotto was under cooked. Flavour was superb though. Speed of service and ambience spot on as always. Ideal pre-theatre venue when visiting the RAH.

We had the pre-theatre set menu, which was good value for money. We also had wine and bottled water, which we thought were expensive and bumped up the total cost of dinner considerably. Service was quick and attentive and overall we enjoyed our dining experience

Dinner after the show was well priced and delicious..... the small portions may not suit everyone....

Lovely restaurant to have a high quality pre theatre dinner within 5 min walk of Royal Albert Hall

Excellent location for pre theatre meal.

We booked to allow a nice dinner before we went to the Royal Albert Hall, unfortunately when we sat down we were told we could not order from the a la carte menu, just the ‘pre theatre’ menu which was very limited. Disappointing.

Very nice restaurant with great service. We were going to the Albert Hall for a show and so had the pre-theatre set menu which was perfect. We arrived a bit early so we had a drink in the bar which was great. Perfectly situated for going on to the Albert Hall which is about a 5 minute walk away.

Very convenient for eating before show at Albert Hall. Cheerful, courteous and efficient service. Good value for set menus but pricey a la carte. Portions on the small size but food delicious and well presented. Firmly recommended.

Good location for Royal Albert Hall and pre theatre menu is good value.

Outstanding food and service. My only comment is that the staff should wear antiperspirant as body odour and food dont mix.

Nice food and friendly atmosphere. And really convenient for Royal Albert Hall

Gorgeous atmosphere and excellent service - we will definitely be back.

Restaurant offers a pre-theatre menu. No food served until very late. Had to drop the desert as no time left before having to leave for the theatre. Created as stressful evening, which should have been a nice dinner before a show.

We chose this restaurant because of the Menus online looked great.. On arrival we were given a different, very limited menu. We were told it was the ‘Christmas menu’ and that it had been on the website for a few days. This wasn’t the case. I had looked at the website the day before and there was no mention of a ‘Christmas’ menu. There were pre-theatre and a la carte menus. There were only 3 starters and 3 mains to choose from on the menu we were given, and they weren’t very inspiring. We asked if the chef could do something different but we were told no. We didn’t have time to go elsewhere so we stayed. The portions were really small. The service was slack. Our glasses sat needing to be refilled often, the waiter was not observant and needed prompting by the more senior waiter. There was no atmosphere and I won’t be recommending this restaurant.

What an appalling place. We had to ask for a menu, and we picked from the pre-theatre classic french menu - my "onion tarte tatin" was "deconstructed" so it was a mass of salad, with some sliced red onion on a sheet of pastry - edible - but pretty poor. Then I had the slow cooked pork - which was just a sheet of fat underneath very non-crispy skin. Awful - I still shudder now. At £10 for a regular glass of rose wine - this was also expensive. The 2 course meal was £26 a head. I did complain and the manager agreed that the tarte was disappointing and she had spoken before to the chef (who clearly does not listen) - and she waived the cost of my meal - which was the only good thing about the place - still I would have rather paid and actually got some food!. Finally tables are very close together and the portions are pretty small. You have been warned.

Very good, thoughtful service. Food appreciated by all quests. After show meal served promptly.

Lovely meal and service… superb experience, overall. Highly recommend for pre-Royal Albert Hall events.

Very pleasant pre theatre dinner, efficient and attentive

Great Pre theater dinner - staff was wonderful and friendly - kept our schedule in mind yet we didn’t feel rushed . Food was excellent !

The early dinner is very, very limited in choice, both the quantity & quality are not very good, the price is frankly ridiculous for what you get. It looks reasonable when you book at £30 per head but add a glass of wine, bottle of water and service charge & you finish up with a £95 bill. No thanks, not again for us.

190 is the perfect spot for dinner before a concert at The Royal Albert Hall. The food is excellent, service is exceptional and the staff understand that most of the diners need to be at a concert by a certain time. The room is elegant but unstuffy and we have visited several times.

Very civilised place for pre theatre meal only 5 minutes from Royal Albert Hall. Expensive for small portions but good quality food.

Sat by window, cold draught! Waited long time for Main course. Had to ask when was it coming? Starter and Main Fish were good. Service was Not very good. No one asked if everything was ok. I had to get up to borrow salt from another table. Service charge too high for quality of service but because with friends I did not say. I booked, as offered on line, for a two course pre theatre meal with glass of wine, for £30, but on night we were charged for Wine! But this was not realised until too late and we had left restaurant. Only reason I would recommend 190 to friends is because of convenience to Royal Albert Hall.

The setting is lovely and appropriate for the quality of food / price. The welcome was very good indeed and I enjoyed the service too. Food was just brilliant and good value. Attentive service was outstanding, in that, it was appropriate and timely. Tables very close together.

Good service ,food and value . Very convenient for pre-theatre dining - Royal Albert Hall

The atmosphere was just what we needed, we had not seen our two companions for a number of years so being able to talk in comfortable and welcoming surroundings was perfect. How refreshing to be presented with a menu that managed to combine not overloading you with choice and at the same time offering a very good variety of dishes. I had the Beef Short Rib (I was wavering between that and the Chicken and the waiter recommended it). It was delicious. I will definitely return.

Always come here before visiting the Albert Hall. Lovely ambiance and good food. Service is always friendly and efficient

Pre theatre menu took over an hour to deliver & this was after twice having to remind the staff that we would be late for the start of a concert

Booked as restaurant was close to the Royal Albert Hall and went for the pre-theatre menu. Really nice menu and food was fantastic. Service was very good and was not kept waiting in between courses. Really nice atmosphere, would thorough recommend!

Amazing meals. One of the best restaurants in London.

One of our favourite place to have a quiet dinner with family or friends

The food was good although the portions were rather small. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. We were a party of 10 family members, celebrating my daughter's graduation. I had asked on the phone if we could order from both the set and a la carte menu, without pre-ordering. This was agreed. Yet, on the night, the head waiter was adamant that the a la carte menu was not available until 7pm (we were booked for 6pm). His manner was short, unpleasant and argumentative. He didn't seem interested in honouring the agreement I had had on the phone, or in helping us have a good experience in the restaurant. It spoiled the atmosphere for us a little bit. In the end, his colleague took our order that included a la carte dishes, so we weren't sure why the argument with the head waiter. All in all we enjoyed the meal though, the dishes were well cooked and could not be faulted.

Relaxed restaurant in the Gore Hotel very close to the Albert Hotel. Wood panelled room with similar bar across the corridor. Good quality British/European menu which was of a high standard, excellent value pre-theatre menu. Perfect if you’re going to the Albert Hall.

This was the perfect pre-concert setting. The manager on duty was warm and welcoming and the service overall was professional. Food was tasty and good value. Ambience was perfect. would definitely return here next time attending something at the Albert Hall.

We picked the pre-theatre menu as we had a show booked at The Royal Albert Hall. We arrived for around 5.40pm and ordered after about 10mins. The starter came out quickly and was very nice. We waited about 40mins for our main and as it was so late, we had to cancel our desert. When we asked for the bill, we were almost charged for 4 deserts, luckily we checked. I also felt it very cheeky they placed a service charge to the bill when the service wasn't suitable for a pre show dinner.

Excellent pre theatre dinner at a very good price served by very friendly and efficient staff

We are regulars to the Royal Albert Hall and frequently eat at the Gore Hotel. We have suggested many times that they change their menu more regularly, but this hasn’t happened. It is no wonder that bookings appear to have dropped and we certainly will now be eating elsewhere, even though the menu is changing next week. Apparently this menu will be the same for six months - I rest my case!!!

Good pre meal before royal Albert hall. Let down by service. Wouldn’t want to be there on a busy night.

A wonderful little restaurant with a Michelin starred chef. Perfect waiters who were attentive but not overly so. Really tasty food that was the perfect pre theatre menu.

Pre theatre menu good value and great service. Thoroughly enjoyed!

First-rate pre-theatre dinner in every respect: excellent food, first class service, very pleasant ambiance.

The staff were all friendly and attentive. The food was well presented and tasty. Minor 'criticisms' are that the pea veloute could have done with a little more seasoning and the rhubarb was a little too crunchy for my liking but overall, a good choice and value for money in a very nice setting.

The location and service were excellent. The food was nice but for a pre-theatre menu it is quite expensive. The dining room is rather gloomy. Staff couldn't have been nicer.

My ratings are based on the pre-theatre menu, not the a la carte which is not available at 5.30. The food was extremely good, the room is elegant and the service personal, friendly and efficient. All in all it was the perfect overture to what also turned out to be an outstanding Prom.

Wonderful experience and the food was excellent quality. Only feedback was that the shape of jar containing the parfait was very awkward to negotiate with a knife and gave up towards the end but cannot fault the quality.

Such a good place for a pre-prom meal! We always enjoy the food, the service and the ambiance.

Went for a pre-Proms dinner, and chose the pre-theatre menu. The spring salad, in late August, was disappointing, and under-seasoned. The Royal Windsor pork chop with Morteau sausage, soft mash potatoes and broccoli, lacked the sausage, with no apology or warning in advance of ordering. I then ordered the selection of British and French cheese as the dessert, and an extra glass of wine to accompany. After a fair time, and with no cheese delivered, I had to call for the bill as it was getting late (this was a pre-dinner menu after all), which charged for the cheese, so this had to be corrected. No apology for the lack of dessert, and the fact I paid for an extra glass of wine that was not cheap to accompany it. The service was friendly but they seemed a bit disorganised, despite there being only about 25 covers in the rather crowded and cramped room, and how difficult is it to stick some cheese and crackers on a plate?

Went for dinner before a concert at the Albert Hall. We arrived in good time, but service was slow, even off the limited pre theatre menu. Food was basic and bland - the best bit was the bread. No time for dessert or coffee. Staff polite, but not engaged.

Great for Royal Albert Hall pre-concert dinner; very comfortable, excellent food, good value, nice people.

Fish over cook, and the cheese plate is ridiculous.

We had a very pleasant dinner at 190. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. He even turned the aircon down for us as we were getting cold! As there was only us and one more couple, it was very quiet and lacking a bit of ambience, which couldn't be helped. I would have liked more than one vegetarian choice for each course.

I would like to say that i had a great experience in 190 Bar !!! Best staff ever ,very very friendly , excellent service, best cocktails, best food !!!!

We came to have dinner around 6 p.m. and we had the set menu with 3 courses and the food was lovely and the service was fantastic and very professional. I wish I could come back soon. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Found about bar190 through its connection with The Rolling Stones. Great music, amazing cocktails and attentive staff. A great place for a few drinks with friends or even family.

Went to the bar with a group of friends for some drinks. The drinks selection was quite great, something for everyone and really innovative cocktails. The food was also nice, we ordered the octopus and it was amazing. The staff was very well organised, attentive...

We went to Bar 190 for a pre performance drink. Before attending the Albert Hall.The bar was very relaxin from the start, and we just took in the tranquillity sipping our gin and tonics, which were a work of art. As well as tasting very...

Beautiful dining room, very tasteful and elegant and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious (we ate from the pre theatre menu) the fish was very fresh and the poached rhubarb was divine. I booked a table for my mum’s special birthday and we both agreed that we would go back at some point. I would thoroughly recommend 190 Queen’s Gate.

A lovely restaurant for a pre-theatre meal. Delicious food, all served piping-hot...we had the fish & the pork options, & both meals were sensible portions with a good combination of vegetables. The restaurant was full & buzzing, but the service was impeccable. No adverse comments to make at all. With just a 5 minute walk to the Royal Albert Hall for our show, it was perfect. Definitely recommend!

Lovely, cozy, clubby decor and a genuinely nice staff. The portions for the bar food were quite generous and the drinks (wine and champagne for our group) were very good quality. And the prices were quite reasonable for such a posh location. We went for...

Bar190 is an amazing bar to have some drinks... the atmosphere is amazing as the staff... truly recommended

The food was nowhere near one Michelin star standard and, apparently the starred chef only works there once or twice a month. A rather disappointing experience

Es tan decepcionante cuando cena en un restaurante y el chef tiene una reputación increíble, ¡pero no cumple! Habíamos asistido a un evento en el Royal Albert Hall que está a la vuelta de la esquina del restaurante. Estábamos realmente ansiosos por nuestra experiencia culinaria, pero lamentablemente nos decepcionó cuando nos sirvieron pollo crudo para nuestro plato principal. Como resultado no pudimos comerlo y cuando llegó la camarera para limpiar nuestros platos, dejamos muy claro lo que había sucedido. Es una pena, ya que el restaurante está en una excelente ubicación y tiene un gran ambiente, por no mencionar el completo. ¡Qué vergüenza chef!

Came here for pre-show drinks and snacks before a Royal Albert Hall gig nearby, lured by the connection to my no1 favourite band, The Rolling Stones. I managed to get the fireplace table with comfy chairs, which was good . Our cocktails were interesting, again...

Excellent haven for a pre-theatre dinner of amazing quality and value, before going to The royal Albert Hall, which is just a few steps away.

Pondered across this little beauty. Nice and cosy and reasonable for being in Kensington. Nice, friendly and cosy.

The restaurant is absolutely stunning, the atmosphere was lovely, service was fantastic and food was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were also better than expected, did not leave hungry and would definitely go back next time I’m in London. 10/10

Nice restaurant, bit old fashioned but service very friendly and efficient and food very good.

190 Queen's Gate is an oasis in the bustle of the Kensington area. The bar and restaurant is an ideal stopping off point ahead of an evening at the nearby royal Albert Hall. Meals and service were very good.

Had dinner there last night with my family before going to 10 CC at the Albert Hall. What a bad choice. No fresh orange juice, the Prosecco was undrinkable and the pre theatre meal was very poor. The waiter poured the wine almost to the...

Very disappointed with an extraordinarily disappointing meal. My wife and I ordered the vegetarian option which was gnocchi. This was very dry and the only vegetable the restaurant offered to accompany it was spinach or several different potato options. A truly horrible, virtually inedible meal. When we complained, all they offered was deletion of the service charge which we would never have wished to pay anyway as the service was slow and mediocre at best.

Since we were already staying at The Gore a pre-show dinner was a good idea. Very attractive venue, limited but acceptable menu, usual attentive serve and tasty cooking. A bit pricey but worth it. Recommended.

We had an early pre- theatre dinner and were the only people in the restaurant till we finished our dessert when a group of 4 arrived. Attentive waiters. Good choices of food on the set menu, well presented. I like it when the meat dish comes with some vegetables. As it is part of a boutique hotel, the toilets are very clean.

A very enjoyable pre theatre dinner. Well served, on time, small portions, perfect for an evening at the Royal Albert Hall. Thank you.

I chose this restaurant for a special occasion after looking online at the a la carte menu. The website mentions a michelin starred chef. So they set high expectations. When we arrived we were told that only the pre theatre set menu was available, even...

Not a real restaurant. No a la carte menu available. Just set meal. Very disappointed. I would not come back.

Lovely room food was delicious. Staff very polite and helpful

È un posto elegante con servizio in sala davvero eccezionale. Un grazie particolare allo chef Manuel

Excellent food excellent staff and a wonderful atmosphere - I took my grandparents and they absolutely loved it.

Had dinner here in March 2019, and had the most delicious meal with a couple of glasses of red. The meat was perfectly cooked tender and delicious, the staff were attentive - everything I needed after a long day of seeing the sights.

A great restaurant to have an early supper in before a visit to the Albert Hall. Perhaps a slightly less expensive menu could be on offer too.

Excellent food and nice staff. It was a quiet evening for an early dinner.

We have dined at 190 Queens Gate on several occasions and have always enjoyed our time there. The food was lovely and we went off the pre theatre menu which was extremely good value and had very good choices on the menu. The only fault was two of our party were given non alcoholic beers instead of the normal one, but this was quickly rectified with no issues. Will definitely return and look forward to our next visit

Food was outstanding and reasonably priced. 100 times better than the rubbish served up at Tom Kerridge's new venture at The Corinthia

Great service, great food, lovely decor and great prices! Pre-threare menu was perfect ya, thank you!

A lovely relaxed atmosphere just around the corner from the Royal Albert Hall so very handy for a before or after theatre dinner. We had the pre-theatre fixed menu and the food was delicious.

Lovely food and good service, We had the pre-theatre menu and the only tiny thing I would say is that we would have struggled had we chosen the three course option rather than the two.

Boutique hotel/restaurant, intimate setting with typically English interior design. Highly recommend the amazing butternut squash risotto.

Wonderful relaxing pre drinks in the bar and a truly delicious pre Theatre set menu in the lovely ambiance restaurant. Perfect amount for sitting through a show. Wonderful service and super atmosphere. A stones throw to the Royal Albert Hall and no need to stress about getting to the 7.30pm opening performance. Highly Recommend
