Da Henrietta in City of London, Westminster

We found this restaurant in lockdown 2021 and it was great. Not been back for a while and still excellent. Great varied specials too. Very handy pre theatre eatery. Thank you

This would have been 5-star all round except that one of our party was violently ill after our meal. We all had the steak frites, which was gorgeous, so suspect it must have the scallop. She has never reacted to shellfish this way before.

Incredible meal in the sun on the terrace today. Food was delicious and menu was varied with lots of great specials. Service was smooth and attentive.

An embarrassing restaurant with a food quality and preparation that maybe would have made sense in 1985, but has no justification in 2025. Careless preparation, bad presentation, no charme, low quality. Not even the expensive wine was at the level expected. I left and went for dinner in a proper restaurant. The worst restaurant I can think of in a decade. They should be ashamed.

Overpriced and underwhelming service. GBP21 for one scallop... That came out barely warm. Tasted ok. But such a small plate for the price. I had the ribeye on the specials board. GBP 50, came out covered in sauce. Couldn't taste the steak. Could have been any meat in the world and I couldn't tell as it was so over seasoned and over sauces. The pudding was very underwhelming as well Sad I fell for the tourist trap. Felt I should know by now. I suggest avoid and try some others nearby or further out of covent garden

Their lamb was out of this world. Their bread was top-notch. Their unique cocktails were delicious. I loved the ambiance, and appreciated the very attentive service with the waitress checking in & my water regularly being refilled. I would 100% come here again!

I loved henri. The interior is beautifully decorated and recalls an upscale brasserie. The food is excellent and the staff is attentive and friendly.

We were celebrating a big occasion with friends and family and booked the chef’s table. The atmosphere at Henri’s is warm and intimate. The service and attention to detail for our group was excellent - particularly as we had a tight time commitment. And finally, the food was excellent with a broad food and wine menu to satisfy all tastes. Thank you. Highly recommend Henri’s.

I’ve been to Henri several times and it never let me down. Great spot for a drink- which I recommend having at the bar or by the window- and for a proper meal, with a diverse menu and fresh ingredients that make every dish memorable. The concept is the one of a french bistro with canale, oysters and fried pied de cochon served as snacks. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service add to a perfect dining experience.

The salad starters were the star of the show-in particular the crudités, the gem lettuce salad with anchovy dressing and the carrot rapee salad. The steak frites came with a lovely sauce, but the meat itself was quite chewy in places. The chalkboard special was the Dover Sole Meunière which was beautifully cooked in a rich butter sauce. It was very tasty but like the steak frites, probably not quite big enough for a main as per my own expectations. The front of house staff, in particular the manager, dressed in a very smart white Henri overshirt was warm and welcoming. My biggest disappointment really would have to be the cocktails. The bar is absolutely stocked with a variety of spirits and all of the cocktails in the menu recite the names of specific spirit brands. What they don’t tell you is that all of the house cocktails are premade and poured from a bottle underneath the bar, which feels like a letdown when the prices are on average £14. Add to that that I was served the wrong cocktail (didn’t say anything because I drank most of it by the time I realised I was drinking the wrong cocktail). If I came again, I would order off menu, they probably wouldn’t charge more than a couple of quid extra, and the drink would be properly made for you. Tables are tightly packed in - they could do with reducing table seating by one two-person table on either flank of the restaurant, this would allow people to breathe much easier. As it is now, you feel like you’re dining with the people sitting next to you And it’s difficult to not tune in to the conversation happening next-door.

We came back having been the the bar a few weeks ago and noticing the restaurant. A post matinee theatre dinner. Really great food. Attentive staff.

I realised I'd been here before. Same table, same shameful service. The welcome was great and our server seated us- then vanished for at least 20 mins before we even had a coffee. There were two tables in the restaurant, one heading straight to the breakfast buffet. So it's completely unacceptable to experience this level of service and a dead atmosphere. Now I recall my previous visit, i can assure you that this restaurant is worth avoiding at all costs. Food was average by the way, which is a great improvement on the service and vibe of this business.

Thank you for this beautiful evening and your kindness Killian. Enjoy a delicious starter and a nice rib of beef. After 42 km it feels good Good luck and thank you. the marathon runners on Sunday evening.

Delightful, decadent French bistro classics. Dishes were indulgent and delicious, scallops in the champagne butter were a real highlight. Really liked the savoury canele too. Interiors are cosy and candlelit, great vibe for a special dinner that doesn't feel too pretentious.

Breakfast: It’s such a pretty restaurant and you want to have a meal here but it will let you down. The breakfast buffet is meh (like a holiday inn buffet) and the eggs bene was served on a toasted thick bun and there was nothing else on the plate. The kitchen staff and serving staff were having a loud argument and, as we were the only patrons, it did make us feel uncomfortable. We won’t be coming back.

Disappointingly tiny portions of really quite simple yet overpriced food. If it was only one of those factors, it could be forgiven, but all three is a shame. Didn’t have any wine which was the only thing that kept the price down. Wouldn’t recommend it to others.

Great food, lovely decor, good atmosphere, extensive wine menu and good selection of cocktails. Service could be improved to allow it to compete with other restaurants of similar standard. Small beaker of water poured for each guest on arrival but not filled over the 2.5 hrs we were there (this would not be a problem if there was a bottle of water left on the table for us to serve ourselves). Waitress also struggled to understand our straight forward vegetarian request and also failed understand our order correctly.

A little bit of heaven in the heart of Covent Garden. Henri offers the best of French cuisine in a gorgeous environment with outstanding service.

Fantastic staff, amazing food, and beautiful atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!

Wow! Tuvimos una gran noche en Henri. Tuvimos amigos de Francia (que conocen su comida al revés, incluyendo uno que ha trabajado en la industria alimentaria en Francia toda su vida) , y todos pensamos que la experiencia fue increíble. Comimos en la mesa del chef, y tuvimos una selección de los maravillosos platos de entrada para compartir. Vale la pena probarlos ya que son muy inventivos, y combinan muy bien con champán (¡después de todo estábamos celebrando un cumpleaños! ) El personal realmente sabía los platos que estaban sirviendo, y dio tan poco o tanto detalle como individualmente necesitábamos. Todas sus recomendaciones fueron brillantes, incluyendo maridaje de vinos, y el servicio - aunque profesional en todos los sentidos - fue lo suficientemente relajado como para sentir que disfrutaron compartiendo su noche con nosotros. La habitación es maravillosa también - elegancia perfectamente equilibrada con una sensación relajada, y sin duda volveremos. También será su nuevo destino: ir a tomar cócteles antes o después del teatro. ¡Me encantó!

We had a private event on the mezzanine with the Sharing Menu. The food was spectacular and the service impeccable, will 100% book again and again.

We are discerning diners who eat out regularly in London. Expensive for what was provided. Wrong shared main course delivered. Sides then left to go cold and had to ask for them to be changed. Second batch then arrived after main courses. Tiniest portion of scallops (£21) I’ve ever seen. Very poor experience by a team who didn’t care enough to survive in a competitive London market.

Delightful setting for a beautiful bottle of wine with a friend.

The staff was super friendly & provided amazing service.

Gentle sophistication which was a great contrast to the loud music, frantic service at some other restaurants. An ocean of calm efficiency and top class food.

This place was recommended to me by a friend. We took a client there for dinner. The food is excellent, but avoid the cocktails because they are not worth the money. Service was good, efficient, and friendly. We wanted to order dessert and liquors after dinner, so that we could discuss with our client more, but we decided to leave as soon as possible because the noise was unbearable. The constant thumping and beating of the unnecessarily loud pop music just made the whole experience painful. It is a restaurant, not a nightclub. I live locally and I eat out a lot, but unfortunately I won't go there again. Shame.

Not bad - cognac focused bar. Though overrated and quite insular, clique vibe, hyper local even for Covent Garden - mostly for a small section of insiders maybe. Again, a good space for youngsters to learn, join hospitality, create jobs and careers. But there’s a creeping celeb culture of chefs, families, bartenders slowly becoming a part of the city’s industry - which is a shift from good old fashioned hospitality, doing jobs, getting on with things - not very diverse too. Avoid if you’re in just for some simple good eat out - it may be too fancy for things.

Fabulous menu and food all prepared excellently with exquisite flavours and perfect cooking. Service is faultless and friendly at the same time as being very professional. Bar staff are warm, fun and inviting as soon you arrive.

Fabulous experience, good date night destination.

We had a wonderful birthday celebration dinner at Henri's on Sunday. The service was faultless: the team is really welcoming, warm and knowledgeable. The menu is creative and we all found the food excellent. And we are all foodies and two of us work in the food industry! The atmosphere is great: we sat at the chef table and everything was run in a relaxed but highly professional manner. We truly felt like VIPs. We loved it so much that it is now one of our go-to restaurants. A big bravo and thank you to the manager Enes and his team for making our evening so deliciously special.

Dimmed lights, incredible French food, superb wine selection and great atmosphere. This place is small gem in Covent Garden. I've been coming for years and they upped their game, again.

A wonderful family experience in a welcoming restaurant. A big plus for the staff: Anas, the restaurant's manager, and Killian, who took excellent care of us and even gave us a tour of the premises. Good value for money, I recommend it to both French fans of our cuisine and English visitors curious to discover it. And a big plus for the location!

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse soirée d’anniversaire dans ce très bon restaurant au plein cœur de Londres!!!!! Le directeur est extrêmement sympathique et très accueillant. Il parle français ainsi que le serveur qui nous a très bien expliqué les plats. Nous étions 7 et tout ce que nous avons mangé était très très bon!!!!! Je recommande vivement ce lieu. Encore merci merci beaucoup 😊 🤩🙂

Great family time for my birthday. Very friendly staff! And very good French food revisited. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Delicious. Great service. Probs a bit quiet as we had booked for 5pm on a Sunday evening. But a cute place and will be back.

While the taste of the food was excellent, there must have been something wrong with it as we both fell ill at night. Nevertheless, the service of the French sommelier and talented Nepali girl, greatly elevated the restaurant’s level.

We had a fantastic meal. Your staff are brilliant really cheerful, informative. Our only problem was not unique to you but background noise.

main courses were lovely, though £21 for three (3) mediocre scallops seemed slightly criminal

From starters to mains, drinks, and desserts—everything is beautifully presented, the staff is the friendliest, and you're guaranteed a great time!

A great group dinner location - fabulous service and the food was very good.

everything here was amazing, everyone who went really enjoyed!

Very good food but it’s a shame to wait so long for a grilled steak and fish! The green beans were too al dente But the sauce was delicious

Overall the meal was great! One comment would be the level of salt, most dishes tasted a little on the salty side.

The Henri team were amazing hosts, they attended to all of our needs and were warm and welcoming and happy to get involved to make our night enjoyable. The food was delicious and the private dining space was incredible, it was large spacious room with a beautiful bar! Would highlight recommend

We booked a table for 8 pre theatre and arrived before 6 pm. Despite telling the staff several times we had to leave at 7 10 pm to get to the opera house , our main course arrived about 7 minutes past 7 ! We managed to gulp a couple of mouthfuls but had to leave the majority of our food as didn’t want to be late for the ballet. We had the pre theatre menu so there really wasn’t any excuse, and wasted our money.

Amazing service and dining experience! Come here if u want to have a great date night or Pres!

Amazing service and dining experience! Come here if you want to have a wonderful date night or friends gathering!

Absolutely next level ! The room the restaurant the lot. They looked after us really well and the location is amazing

It took an hour for our course to arrive; my wife’s selection had to be taken back while mine was delayed and delayed (scallops). Pity as this was our special anniversary dinner and it did not go to plan. It took well over an hour for our main course also . Food was excellent and service was (finally) apologetic. Pity as in previous visits, everything went well. The manager took the cost of the scallops from the bill which was a very fine (voluntary) gesture.

Great food. Really stunning. Wonderful staff. Accommodated an extra diner at late notice. We were well looked after thank you.

Service was good except that I had to ask to be offered the pre-theatre menu. The couple next to me hadn't been offered it and were not happy. It seems quite cynical not to offer it - not impressive. Pre-theatre menu food was not bad (carrot rapee and chicken salad) but not a patch on the snacks which were superb. Comte was average and served too cold. I hope the rest of the menu reaches the heights of the snacks. Drinks were excellent - I had a Martini and a carafe of the red burgundy hence the overall price.

Lovely restaurant with brilliant staff - thank you!

Great restaurant and food. Definitely try the savoury caneles and the steak frites. One criticism is that the tables for two are very very small and some of the plates for dishes are very large, so a bit of a plate to table mismatch in ratios!

We had a great time. The food was all great. Our table was pretty uncomfortable, there wasn't enough space for everyone's feet/legs. But everyone loved their food and drinks! Thanks!

An early evening (5.30pn) delicious supper with a friend, after a long day visiting exhibitions. Jambon and celeriac remoulade to start... extremely generous portion which we shared with absolutely superb baguette. From the charcoal grill we shared an enormous pork chop and fries, both excellent. I took home the pork we couldn't quite finish. Coconut sorbet for dessert, an intriguing smooth creamy texture for a sorbet. I tried the Riesling Kabinett as the suggested wine pairing and it was totally delicious. We had well made cocktails before eating and a carafe of rosé with our meal. Thanks for moving us to another table , much appreciated. A very busy restaurant which quickly filled up. Efficient and knowledgeable service . My only adverse comment is why weren't we offered the pre theatre menu as well as the full menu?

We were treated with civility even though members of our party were unavoidably late. Enjoyed the food and ambience and will certainly go there again.

Wonderful french bistro vibe with excellent food and beautifully peaceful bedrooms, mine overlooking St Pauls churchyard. top Notch!

The attention from the sommelier was essential to making the right choice of food, since it was Spanish and helped us relax and enjoy the dinner, fantastic

Porciones pequeñas y caras, tratando de obtener tanto dinero de usted como sea posible desde el momento en que entramos - le dijimos al camarero (chico de pelo rizado) nuestro filete estaba frío después de que ÉL NOS PREGUNTÓ cómo era la cena y luego no hizo nada al respecto! Ni siquiera dijo nada. Le dije que la porción era demasiado pequeña y podría tener unas cuantas patatas fritas extra, ya que casi no tenía y él dijo que no! Para una comida que era £ 27 - pequeño filete con patatas fritas y eso fue todo. ¿Cuánto cuesta eso a un negocio de patatas fritas congeladas? Estúpido y asqueroso servicio y mala jugada, ya que estaba tan disgustado que tuve que escribir una reseña. Un par de peniques por unas patatas fritas. Nunca más. ¡Trampa turística!

Absolutamente increíble noche, la comida era increíble y el personal era increíble. Neha era nuestra camarera y ella era maravillosa. Sin duda recomendaría y volvería de nuevo!

Brilliant service and food. Great value for quality and such a nice hum to the atmosphere.

We didn't eat so can't really comment on food. Expensive wine though!

I popped in to share a quick drink with a colleague of mine that was leaving and what we found was an amazing place great atmosphere and well priced drinks. We had an amazing bartender Joana who was funny intelligent and made the somber event full of laughter and cheer. I highly recommend the signature cocktail the Anne-Sophie as it was smooth and a little sweet but kept me in the conversation. We didn’t stay for food but I will definitely be back many times if the food matches the service of the staff and the quality of the drinks. Top marks to Joana behind the bar for making the place so welcoming.

Wonderful restaurant, will 100% return.

Brilliant food and service! Amy, our server, went above and beyond! She is an asset.

Cena previa al teatro. Relativamente caro y, aunque en porciones decentes, la calidad de los alimentos, especialmente de los pollos y embutidos, era realmente pobre con carne dura masticable. Al personal no parecía importarle cuando se le mencionó. Mejor relación calidad-precio en otros lugares del barrio para cenar antes del teatro.

Had a stunning meal at Henri last weekend. Every dish was delicious and interesting and the staff were incredibly attentive. I will be booking again asap!

This is a delightful restaurant with well prepared French bistro style food served at a very fair price for the area. Very good value. The service is friendly but a couple of tweaks would help. My guest and I were coming to a pre theatre dinner at 5.45 but when the menu came, I was not offered the set menu. I had to ask for it which I always think is a little naff. We wanted to eat quickly but there were long delays in bringing the pudding (sorbet) and in the end we had to leave without pudding. I feel the room feels a little understaffed but that is no doubt what is keeping the price so competitive

Great evening at Henri. Friendly, efficient service and delicious food.

Excellent handling of straightforward ingredients: delicious carrot rapee, rotisserie chicken with, of course, proper French fries and French beans - followed by a splendidly indulgent Royal Opera cake! The charming service and Parisian bistro-style atmosphere matched the food.

We went for breakfast. Lovely place and food was delicious.

A high quality establishment which just works really well.

Exceptional ingredients. Fantastic flavours. All round excellence!

Forgot our starter which was a shame but otherwise very nice. Portion size for roast chicken salad as a touch mean?

Disappointing- we were offered at 20% discount. The starter was a large portion of spiralised carrots. The main course was a Caesar salad. poor value for money. the service was satisfactory.

We really enjoyed our visit. It would be really helpful to have a menu with dietaries showing meals that are (specifically for GF) GF or can be adapted to be GF. It would make it so much easier as a customer.

Service was attentive and food was pretty good. They forgot the beans we ordered, and brought a sauce with the fries which we never ordered (still charged £3). Steak was well cooked but tables are very close together (if just a party of 2).

Great food and great staff. Amazing experience!!

Staff was friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was lovely. I had braised leets with crab meat and the Toulouse sausage… perfect bistro fare. For a moment, I thought I was in Paris.

Very very good cote de boeuf. Excellent sides and starters too

A lovely evening. Classic food made beautifully. Friendly, easy service. A delight.

Excellent food with reasonable price

Beautiful restaurant in the centre of Covent Garden. Went for the cheese fondant experience, great quality cheese and plenty of food to dip. Wish the cheese fondant had a tea light under it throughout eating to keep it dippable.

No fue un milagro de Navidad, las bebidas eran horribles! El set piece es como una pesadilla de Santa Claus. £ 15 por un tequila y calabaza diluidos. Fue un milagro pagar la cuenta. Mucho mejores eventos de novedad de Navidad para ir a otro lugar. El restaurante de abajo "henri" (que parece no tener nada que ver con esta farsa) parece una mejor opción. Me siento mal de que esté vinculado a su cuenta de trip advisor. La sensación de oropel, música y papel de envolver fue muy divertida, pero realmente necesitan ordenar las bebidas para que no sientas que te están poniendo lana.

We had booked 'The Chalet' experience in Henri but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the possible weather conditions...we were not notified of this until we got to the restaurant so that was very disappointing 😕 However the absolutely amazing Amy saved the day with her amazing cocktails and chat & overall very pleasant company..thank you Amy. We had a delicious bottle of Red wine and I had 2 equally delicious 'Antoine' cocktails. Even though we didn't get to taste the food, the day wasn't a total disaster thanks to Amy & her amazing customer service.

First time at Henri's, will not be the last. I made a mistake with my booking and the team bent over backwards to accommodate my party. Food was excellent, we shared a whole bunch of things and even ordered seconds. Our server, Amy was incredibly knowledgeable and very professional. Had a lot of fun.

We were a table of 8 and our waitress was so so lovely. The food is amazing.

Staff and food were superb but the restaurant is very small and tables and crammed together. Meaning little privacy for conversation and navigating popping to the restroom is impossible without annoying your neighbours.

Amazing restaurant with a great vibe, the food is really outstanding and so is the service

Lovely food and staff but a very small portion of fish for the ££! Buzzy atmosphere though quite loud

Early dinner but what a wonderful choice. Service was polite and helpful with charm and good humour. Steak and frites for my partner and Toulouse sausage and pomme puree for myself - tasteful food, great flavours. Thank you for a lovely dinner.

Nice surprise! Rather small menu, but all dishes we had were of excellent quality! We hope to be back!

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Such a cute, romantic vibe! Candles on the table, low-level lighting etc. Food is always amazing and the service is very attentive and knowledgeable.

Amazing! We ate late after the theatre - unlike some restaurants, all the menu was available, service fresh energetic and professional, food delicious. If you could give 5.5 we’d award that to our waiter - attentive, knowledgable and fun!

The place looks lovely but was so disorganised. They had obviously had a busy lunch service but were not prepared for dinner. Our booking was at 5pm (pre theatre) & we were not seated until 5.25pm. We had a drink at the bar (fine) but the bartender was rude, it was complete chaos with dirty glassware, a waiter broke a glass & a piece of glass hit me (told them, average apology), I was given a flat glass of champagne when I was finally sat at my seat which I had to send back & none of this was acknowledged in the bill. It was not fully booked on a busy London Saturday evening in December. A great location for theatre goers & sadly actually excellent food but not worth it unless this was an uncharacteristically bad day.

Reservado con mucha antelación y contentos de que lo hicimos, ya que estaba ya alrededor de 630 en un abarrotado jardín del convento antes de Navidad. Cómodo interior sin pretensiones, buscando todo el mundo como un auténtico bistró francés. El maitre d nos trasladó a petición (nuestra primera mesa estaba justo al lado de la cocina en un estilo de refectorio compartido) y a partir de entonces nos atendió brillantemente una camarera radiante que era genial toda la noche. La comida fue realmente excelente el entrante de jamón y apio ejemplar y las porciones gigantescas (que no siempre es un hecho en estos días...) lo que también se notó fue la calidad de los ingredientes sin atajos en la obtención de lo mejor. Precios muy competitivos para el centro de Londres, en general una muy buena experiencia, esperemos que llegue hasta el final ya que la escena gastronómica de Londres es brutal.

Lovely place with really good food and an outstanding and very well priced wine list. Service was excellent, attentive and charming. You also turned the music down at our request and I think everyone appreciated that, you felt the room relax and quieten, the room is too small for loud music to work. The kitchen was under pressure for which our waitress apologised, one chef down but the food was not adversely affected altho the pork was a little under seasoned for my palate, a grind of salt enhanced its flavour. Will return

Exceptional starters and food in general. A cut above.

Intimate setting; attentive service; mostly very good food.

Absolutely wonderful. Best Steak frites in London
