Bread Street Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

First of all, the staff serving are great, however, they are let down by the food. A colleague and I, simply ordered a full English breakfast each, which on the face of it looked nice. Well, unfortunately, every item had different temperatures (None of which was hot) All cold, the bacon rind was just rubbery ( I know people prefer it in all different textures but crispy please) There was a mushroom that may as well have come out the fridge. And congratulations to the procurement manager for finding the smallest eggs I’ve seen🤔 The £4:50 cappuccino was basically a shot of coffee. Would I eat there again, no Is it worth the money absolutely not. Wonderful work Ta

£26 for half and sandwich and chips. Enough said.

Amazing place, food and staff. Will deff revisit

This is a 5 star place really. I just happened to be there at a 4 star point where city people were just going back to the office after having lunch. When the buzz is on the atmosphere and variety of the lunch pizza toppings will have max effect.

Overall…. Very Very Poor Value for Money. Will I be back… er… NO

Amber was great, very attentive, a pleasure to be served by! Food was great too!

Having went to Bread Street Kitchen last night, I must say it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The Honeybee Sour mocktails were very good and it’s great to see a restaurant in London accommodating for non drinkers. Additionally I talked like the spicy cauliflower starter. Whilst delicious it was not over powering with the spice which was nice. Overall would definitely return and would recommend for anyone visiting London.

Nice experience overall. They seemed to be low on service staff so payment took a while. But the £120 Beef Wellington for Two is worth a try. As are their tamarind chicken wings.

Move over Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey is in town! Disappointing food for the price. Don't bother with the sad ribeye. Comparable champagne is 20% cheaper at the nearby Madison rooftop, which gives you an idea of price gouge for the brand.

Nice place, but the price-to-value ratio is way off. £250 for a quick dinner for two, with pretty average food. There are Michelin star options throughout London at a similar price point which I would encourage you to go to instead

Great food and great service from Rakesh and Hal!! Will definitely come back!!

Having seen some of the previous reviews I was a bit sceptical but the whole experience was VERY good. The waiting staff were very attentive and the food was lovely - 2 of us had the roast beef which was very nice and we asked for extra gravy which was also very tasty as was the horseradish cream. The waitress recommended the cheescake which was so light and absolutely divine. Yes it was expensive, but worth it and I think sometimes people expect too much when a celebrity chef is involved. Give it a try - we all loved it

We went for the Sunday Roast, which was kindly gifted to us. There was a choice of roast beef or chicken, we both chose the beef. The restaurant itself was nothing to shout about, accessed through a shopping centre, with views of offices in the opposite building. The quality of the food was good, however, although the plate was full, it only had 2 slices of beef, which had gristle on the edge. The photo shows a massive Yorkshire pudding on top, which hides the fact that your plate was made up of mainly carrots and 3 roast potatoes. The horse radish cream was very mild and could have been a bit stronger. Overall, you can get far better roast dinners elsewhere for half the price.

Reservation made on the site for 9:15 p.m. Friday, arrival with loud music, place decorated in a quite nice way but ultimately the kitchen is closed!!! No “sides”, no pasta, no ribs… we are only offered the all-you-can-eat pizza formula at £20 per person and that’s it… obviously we left and found a gem right opposite, impeccable service, the “Burger and lobster”

I think it's an unstylish, crappy place - moreover, you can see the savings in all the equipment, starting with the fact that our table was more for 1 than for 2. We wanted to eat a good Fish&Chips, we were told at the door that the best in London are available here. Well, the insides of quite a few French fries were completely raw, crunching under our teeth, some of the fish's fur was dripping with oil - pathetic and disappointing (especially since a few days later we bought much better quality F&C from a corner street vendor). The waiter was attentive until we got the food, he didn't come towards us again, no matter how I signaled to him that we should eat something else - I should add that the other waiters didn't even bother with us, we were only able to pay because we finally went to an employee to pay. The place is an overpriced, poor quality, lousy service brewery, not a restaurant.

Ottimo ristorante. Siamo stati in questo posto per il compleanno di mia figlia che insieme a mio marito non si perdono una puntata di Hell’s Kitchen. Ovviamente abbiamo ordinato il filetto alla Wallington. Ottimo il filetto. Molto bello il posto e anche il servizio. Consiglio

A birthday treat for my husband. We booked the pod! It was so good. The staff were lovely and the food plentiful and heavenly. A wonderful dining experience. My husband was very happy...and so was I. Loved it .😊

We had a reservation through the Virgin Experience voucher and were seated in the pod. The food was delicious and served in very generous portions. It consisted of four courses: cold starters, warm starters, a main dish, and a selection of desserts. I cannot pick my favourite because we loved everything. The drinks were nice too.

Big fan of Hell’s Kitchen and wanted to try the “Beef Welly”. Didn’t disappoint. Was excellent. The mushroom and beef together was amazing(no pork for those wondering). I believe Gordon’ name is just on the restaurant and it’s owned by a hospitality group. So far our favorite meal in London

This is not what you expect when you order a £44 rib-eye steak. In addition to the very poor presentation, the service was very slow (1h30min waiting for our mains after the starters plates were collected). In the end they did apologise for the delay. Apparently some VIP was having lunch there with their family and they had to prioritize that table. I can cook a better steak at home, with better presentation as well. They did offer a discount in the bill after apologizing.

Wow... I am lost for words, as this was one of the most magnificent, wonderous, whimsical dining experiences I've ever participated in. My fiancé and I had the set 4-course menu in the pod, served by a polite and charming young Gentleman called Omar. Each course (literally) bought something new to the table, with a concerto of colours, textures and flavours. My only regret? That I can't leave a 6-star review. My fiancé and I will 100% be visiting again to try some more breath-taking food at the Bread Street Kitchen & Bar @ St Paul's! 🍾

such great food and service, definitely will be back

A good option for lunch. I had the fish and chips, crispy fish placed on top of crispy chips equals soft chips, stop it.. good ambience and service..

Coffee was good and I had ricotta pancakes with honey for breakfast. I was expecting the dish to be very sweet, but it was very balanced. Service was good, a bit crowded around 8.30 am.

Amazing experience in the space pod - Apollo Staff amazing , food amazing!

Fabulous service and excellent food. We’ll be back!

We were greeted as if we didn’t belong Id rather have a 5 guys burger -a disappointment all around

Very nice setting, and well eaten. A little expensive, in the end, but we know that we are also paying for the setting and the name of the restaurant. Located on the first floor, two possible entrances, via the small shopping center, or via the pizzeria of the same name. Efficient service. More cozy atmosphere in the evening, thanks to the lighting. A musical background that we really liked, at a correct volume.

Went in September and we are having a couple day stop over in England on a trip this year just to go again. Sticky toffee pudding comes straight from heaven itself. The Beef Wellington and mashed potatoes were the best I’ve ever had. If you’re in London, it is an absolutely must to stop in. The walk to the restaurant is full of beautiful sights (like St Paul’s) and the staff are absolutely lovely. Thought it might be a little overhyped with how famous Gordon has become but this is superb food all around. Received a gift certificate for my birthday and it was a very easy process to purchase this online. Well done Bread Street Kitchen!

Regularly use this restaurant. Good location and atmosphere.

Middle of the road. Nothing good nor bad.

Amazing experience, brilliant food and server Omar was lovely!

Delicious food, very sexy atmosphere and great service (by Omar in particular) Great drinks from the bar, especially when they can make a drink thats not on the menu (many thanks about that) Will be back.

Closed on Sunday for lunch even though the time on Google Maps said open and what's more the site allowed me to book a table. Please update the times.

You fooled us, Gordon! Bravo! Poor service. Warm cocktails. Completely basic menu, featuring food you can get literally anywhere. This would have been fine if the food was somehow elevated or inventive—or at least good! Unfortunately, it wasn't. The venison sausage my wife ordered was so over-seasoned it was inedible. I faired a little better with my butter chicken, but even this dish was basic at best. I've had better at my local grocer—no hyperbole—but for one-fifth the price. As for that famous Gordon Ramsay Burger? Save yourself and go to Five Guys. The poor gentleman next to us who ordered one had a terrible time eating it. But there were also several things this evening that were unforgivable in any restaurant, let alone a GR restaurant that purports to be a step above, or somehow redefining what great dining can be (and certainly the prices were a step above!). The first thing was ... the warm martini! Ugh. Getting served a warm martini is one thing, but what was truly unforgivable was the waiter telling my wife: "This is how they do it." *unhappy face* Wait! It gets worse. Arguing! Not only did the waiter try to defend the warm martini, but when my wife requested a new one, the bartender refused to make it. Instead, he made her wait twenty minutes while he "chilled" her cocktail in the freezer. He also appeared strangely proud of his solution, despite making her wait, and despite the fact that chilling it this way wouldn't address its improper dilution. The bartender was all smiles. We weren't. I did, however, take heart at seeing how empty the restaurant was! At 7pm on this Saturday night, the restaurant was one-third full, at best, and I was gladdened to see that London was already wise to how terrible this place was. I would have been thoroughly distressed it it had been full of unsuspecting patrons. Well, Gordon, you fooled us! After all these years of watching you yell at and browbeat young chefs, you had us believing you were a person of standards, a person with a passion for food, striving to redefine what dining can be. Turns out, you're just another shill.

Sadly the service was very disappointing. Despite letting them know that the service was not good there was still no improvement until speaking to the manager the 3rd time. They did try to make it up to us by reducing the bill, but it was overall a very disappointing experience.

Really underwhelming experience, food was super basic and as if it had been microwaved. Was expecting a lot more, wouldn’t recommend

Incredible service Amazing Food Great ambience Staff were so attentive

We had a great time Great and attentive waiter The dishes were very good. Free children's menu We had a blast!

I went for a quick bite and wine with my colleague, Thai hosted and looked after us very well, really enjoyed the evening.

Had a great burger and thanks to Thai who helped me to chose. Such a good food and vibe.

Food was a bit disappointing. We expect more for a Ramsay restaurant. Bread was burnt and we sent it back. Fries were cold with the steak (at £7.5). Staff was not as attentive as at street burger by Gordon Ramsay. We won't be returning anytime soon.

Incredible experience ! The team was really thoughtful and the food was delicious.

Didn’t like how it wasn’t busy in there and the guy in the front told us there was a 1 hour wait even though it didn’t look busy AT ALL. Then I went online and booked a reservation for a slot that was 630pm (I booked it at 620pm lol). And then they sat us right at my reservation time. What was that about!

Excellent food, had chicken curry, and some drinks. Thai was so helpful, can’t fault attention to detail and service

We ordered a bottle of wine which I had to chase uk three time before it arrived which was after starters had been served. The lady who served it was very cold and unfriendly. She spilt some of the wine on the table whilst pouring. She apologised but made no effort to clear it up. I then asked our waitress to wipe our table and she came back with some serviettes and handed it to me to do myself. I had to suggest that maybe it was something she should do. I spent good money and expect much higher level of service

Staff are good and friendly and food was great will definitely eat there again

AVOID. Ordered a full English only to be told that they had no sausages and that I would have to have double other item. Poached eggs were fridge cold. Not worth the premium - head for a greasy spoon if you fancy a decent breakfast.

Can I just say the food was AMAZING! The service was flawless. GG, made our night seamless from beginning to end. This was a wonderful dining experience and we will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere at this place. We had a main course and dessert. The main course was great, the fish & chips were luxurious, the batter was amazing and the portion was huge, enough for two people. Butter chicken was more spicy, but the Indian food is. Desserts chocolate fondant and sticky toffee were both incredibly delicious. We are taking one star off the service because we were full and they walked around us for quite a long time and even though they knew it, they only brought our food after a long pause. Thank you for a nice evening and delicious food.

Thank you Omar for a great dining experience. Not just Omar but the rest of the team. Amazing food experience from the start. The food is amazing, and is a credit to Gordon and the entire team. The Idiot Sandwhich is really good and my partner enjoyed the burger. Thanks again, we’ll be back!

Is this really a Gordon Ramsay restaurant?Food not quality. Then when it comes to payment we had to pay more than the bill as me and my partner was informed that they had no change. So ended up paying service charge and extra. Would not recommend.

Had the beef wellington experience,food is perfect the portion is wayyyy too big . And the service is good ,Omar really took good care of us .Will definitely come back again ! Epic !!!

Good food, the portion is very generous

Right... I expected wonderful things, obviously, it's a GR restaurant. As a vegetarian my choices were limited, which is fine, I generally like food so im not going to cry about there not being 100 vege options. The vegie starter option however. My word. I can only describe it was water flavoured oily soup. Apparently it had cauliflower and hazelnuts in it, but where they were I am unsure. The main vegetarian offering was a poke bowl, which was essentially identical to the one I buy in lidl, but 10x the price. Pudding however was fabulous. I can't fault them in deserts, and they were baked to order, so had a wait but was well worth it. Ambiance of the restaurant was fairly flat. Service was OK. Definitely not what I'd expect at such a prestigious spot.

Beautiful venue, food was excellent but a fairly narrow choice. Service was direct and efficient. Would return.

Last evening in London couldn’t have ended more perfectly! We kicked things off with two Mocktails 🍹 and two Cocktails 🍸, which were absolutely delightful. For starters, we shared a basket of bread and wagyu meatballs. Surprisingly, the meatballs were quite average for "wagyu"—not bad, but definitely not what you'd expect from such a premium label. As for the main dishes, we went for two dry-aged steaks 🥩 , and they were truly magnificent. The flavors were spot on, especially when paired with a delicious sauce (though it’s worth noting that the sauce came at an extra cost). The fries, while a little under-salted 🧂, rounded out the dish nicely—adding a touch more salt made the entire combination stunning. Alongside, we enjoyed a perfectly roasted cod and a Ramsey Burger, both of which were very impressive. It’s important to mention that ‘everything’ is à la carte here—nothing comes included. Even the fries and side dishes are charged separately, so the steak, for example, would have arrived on its own. The staff added to the experience with their attentive and friendly service, though there was a mix of attitudes—some seemed slightly unhappy, while others were a touch too intrusive. All in all, it was a great dining experience 🤩—delicious food in a lovely atmosphere, but it does come with a hefty price tag!

The menu did no show and GF, vegetarian options the waitress had to put little crosses against what my wife could eat. The lighting was so poor that the couple next to us had to use the torch own their phones to read the menu. Just very overpriced, even charging over £7 for a bottle of still or sparkling water, beef wellington for 2 people for £120!

Good atmosphere, good welcome, great food, good price but we had a problem with starters. Guys you have to inform your clients that the butter and olives that you put on the table its extra cost. We didn’t ask for it and you must know that in other countries these are free of charge( like Italy, Austria, Hungary and many more). It is not a problem to pay for them but just inform the client. It is rude to push up the bill for extra charge. In the end i will pay more for something that i don’t want.

I still think Bread St has the best Sunday roast in london, we have been coming for years and the standard is always good. I never had a bad roast here. However the prices have been going up quite steadily too! Fish and chips were good. But the menu has also slowly shrunk, they didn't have roast chicken today. they used to do Sunday brunch with English Breaksfast on the menu but they don't do that anymore. Their service was good as usual. I like that they have lots of space and it wasn't too noisy this Sunday

Very bad ventilation, our clothes smelled food for a day. It was quite expensive for the served products.

Quality of food was good, however being charged £7.25 for a bottle of still water is extortionate! Plus my wife is GF no mention on menu the waitress did mark on each item my wife could have but nowadays I would expect her to be offered a GF menu at this restaurant. Over priced meal compared to others we have had in London

Steaks were great. Quality of the meat was undoubtedly highest possible. Waiters were a little bit too present and visible, what is more one of them made a mistake serving us the wrong dish but they were very polite and made experience more pleasant

They really stack up a bunch of fees to inflate the price, which made the value for money off balance. The food was good but not worth the price paid. The staff and service were excellent, though.

Really warm welcome, professional staff with a nice vibe in the restaurant. Service was really good, just the rich speed and balance. Fab decor inside, inspiring and impressive. Definitely would recommend.

Delicious Beef Wellington 🔛🔝best thing I've ever eaten Steak is yummers Creamy mashed potatoes Awesome sauce desserts >:D (we got apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding) Staff was nice, drinks were good, food came quick Good scenery, presentation was good. New Year's menu had beef Wellington (like the normal menu), mashed potatoes, and sticky toffee, along with some other foods

The food was delicious, service was great and team were very accommodating with our children in tow. The prices were elevated because it was new year eve!

Very nice atmosphere with extremely good service.

Lovely tentative service with great food always makes for an enjoyable experience.

A shadow of its former self. We used to really look forward to coming here, but not been since April. Went for a special occasion dinner together. The service was just ok, a bit indifferent really with 3 or 4 staff just seemingly passing through. There were only 6 tables occupied - it was pre-theatre at 5pm. Atmosphere was cold, clinical. Food was the biggest disappointment - absolutely nothing special, served cool instead of hot. It was not worth complaining to the indifferent staff. We paid and left after our main course and vowed to try somewhere else in future. Thanks.

Not bad, nice decor, but too bad the service was a little slow, decent meal but expensive value for money, free children's menu for under 8s.

Is that really a Gordon Ramsay establishment? Just went last night for Christmas Day. Our waitress Claudette was amazing and she was the only great thing about the evening. Grazia Mille Claudette !!! But for the rest... - Welcome hostess was stressed and had NO SMILE whatsoever, announced they were running late 20/25 mins on table - which can happen - and sent us to the bar for a drink - that should have been offered but wasn't. - Once seated and food ordered it came pretty quick, starters were good but not wow. Main courses portions were way too big and felt like it was a waste of food unfortunately. - Fish and chips was pretty good, despite the terrible presentation, but another fish was barely edible and the turkey was just ok. The manager was super nice and removed the fish from the bill. - going up the stairs to the main dining room there was paper on the floor, when we left it had not been cleaned. - leaving towards the end of the evening staff in open kitchen was joking and speaking loud using cursed words as a joke, but still not professional at all. This is not worth the money AT ALL and the fact that they ask to prepay £50 / person with a 1 week cancellation policy is outrageous for what we experienced. We had a much better dinner the night before at The Ivy.

Terrible place for any Sunday meal. Turned into a playground for loud kids and screaming babies. Classless parents. Look at the ketchup so high up on the window. Kitchen is also very slow. Food was not bad, it’s fine. Staff are friendly.

Omar fantastic waiter, great experience.

It was incredibly disappointing. Our group of four had made a reservation in advance for the Beef Wellington, expecting a high standard of quality, especially since this is Gordon Ramsay’s signature dish. However, when the dish was served, we were dismayed to find that the Beef Wellington had already been sliced into pieces. As it was meant to be shared, the presentation was far from ideal. The puff pastry was unexpectedly wet, with the mushrooms dislodged from their place, causing them to spill onto the plate when we attempted to serve ourselves. The texture of the pastry was inconsistent, with some parts crispy while others were soggy. This lack of uniformity was quite disappointing, and the overall experience fell short of our expectations. To accompany our meal, we ordered the mashed cream potatoes, which unfortunately turned out to be overly salty, further detracting from our dining experience. While the initial service—from reception to our table—was commendable, things began to falter as we progressed through the meal. At one point, a server approached us to inquire if we had finished eating, to which we replied that we were still enjoying our dishes. Just 30 sec later, another waiter came by, asking to clear our plates. This left us feeling rushed, as if the staff were eager for us to leave. It seemed there was a lack of communication among the team. In total, our bill came to GBP$332, but the value for money was exceedingly low. We left the restaurant feeling very disappointed.

Really really good food and super service special thanks to Omar for the good service would recommend👌🏻

La sauce béarnaise n’est pas une vraie , elle ressemble à mayonnaise avec de l’estragon je suis sûr de moi . Travaillant dans un restaurant où on produit beaucoup de béarnaise et l’ayant fait plusieurs fois , décevant

i had to find a manager just to get water. Ridiculous

Had Christmas Day lunch here with family. Service was excellent—friendly and attentive. Nice views of the water. Food was mixed. Beef Wellington was tasty and perfectly cooked. The hamburger was seriously overcooked. Dry, tasteless meat on a soggy bun. Caesar entree size salad was drowned in too much dressing. Tuna tartare appetizer was good. Tequila tangerine cocktail and espresso martini very good.

The food was amazing. However, the service was very bad. The waiters didn’t pick up the empty glasses, the plates and didn’t ask for new drinks or whatsoever. Also smiling for the waiters was very hard. We had the feeling that the waiters felt too good to do certain work. In general, the service is not Gordon Ramsay worthy. Furthermore, the toilets were also very dirty. Because, the service is a big part of the experience, we give the restaurant two stars.

Awful service. Was waiting for 10 mins. Two staff passed by 3 times but didn’t pay any heed to us even when I called out to them. Avoid this place if you can. Or go to the downstairs street pizza place which had good friendly service

It was an extremely underwhelming experience. The service was slow and inadequate. We had a reservation at 7:30 and were seated no sooner than 8. We also ordered a Caesar salad that never came to our table even though we heard the waitress say it when repeating our order. The atmosphere was unpleasant because we were constantly hearing the chefs yell “service”. Overall the food was good but extremely overpriced and overhyped for a restaurant in london. We will not be visiting again.

Cibo scarsissimo spesa elevatissima. Locake estremamente rumoroso. Decisamente Sconsigliato

Unfortunately, food was average at best and grossly over priced for the quality. We were looking forward to our dinner but left feeling very disappointed.

Was seated 45 minutes late, steaks were almost raw, it was 10 of us and we w all EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

To be fair, it was Christmas, but the restaurant probably shouldn’t have opened as they were understaffed and didn’t have the basics of service. The food was very good, but there was no host and no one really helping as there were many people unseated with reservations for a long time. Three hours in the restaurant in a meal that should have lasted should just over an hour.

SKIP GORDON AND GO TO THE IVY Is that really a Gordon Ramsay establishment? Just went last night for Christmas Day. Our waitress Claudette was amazing and she was the only great thing about the evening. Grazia Mille Claudette !!! But for the rest… - Welcome hostess was stressed and had NO SMILE whatsoever, announced they were running late 20/25 mins on table - which can happen - and sent us to the bar for a drink - that should have been offered but wasn’t. - Once seated and food ordered it came pretty quick, starters were good but not wow.

We had a much better dinner the night before at The Ivy.

High noise level, poor service and stressed staff. The cannelloni was dry, tasteless and over-baked. We had to wait forever to order more drinks, the staff just ran past without seeing us waving. Way too expensive considering the service and taste.

What a place! We were slightly skeptical after reading some of the reviews but we had the most amazing time here! Our waiter Omar was amazing, attentive and explained everything. We opted for the Wellington experience with wine pairing and loved everything we had. The atmosphere was brilliant, cozy with a little buzz. Would highly recommend and thanks again to Omar!

Had an amazing family meal, Omar helped guide us through the menu and gave great service. Thank you!

L’endroit est sympa mais clairement beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité de la nourriture, on paye principalement le nom Gordon Ramsay et non la qualité. Très déçue.

The place is very pretty. The staff is excellent, very attentive, polite and they deserve their tips. Food is ok good like. If it were not Ramsay’s establishment i would give four stars but I have seen him on telly destroying restaurants for less than his own i.e., the bread in the burger wasn’t the freshest. Again though I reiterate that the serving staff were excellent and I thank them for making it a nice experience for me and my daughter.

Great meal and our waiter Omar was exceptional. My only gripe is I paid a hefty service charge, none of which seems to go to the staff.

Had a great experience and wonderful beef wellington. Omar was superb with our kids and great service, and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again

Amazing beef wellington. Fantastic service from Omar and our sommelier Tim!

Curry was delicious however when I asked for beef carpaccio I was served with what was 100% cold roast beef. When I asked them if that was what it was meant to be they informed me that it was carpaccio. The meat had been cooked and was grey on the outside, definitely not carpaccio.

A lovely relaxed Breakfast, good food & service. Nice room and good views

Tasty breakfast and coffee.........................

Came here for our anniversary and Omar was very attentive. Service was second to none and the food was amazing! Flavours popping and to top it off a lovely surprise anniversary dessert at the end!!

we had a great team dinner, the menu options were good and the food was great. The restaurant has a lively energetic atmosphere and we were really pleased that out table of 12 had plenty of space
