Davy's at Plantation Place in City of London, Westminster

Oh, Davy’s Wine Bar! Where I nipped in for a quick lunch, and promptly felt a profound pang of jealousy watching a handful of locals swirl their cabernets and chardonnays in goblets the size of small bath tubs. There they were, blissfully ensconced in a wine tasting event, sipping away in the middle of the day like Roman gods while I, sadly and painfully sober, had to exercise restraint for the sake of… professionalism. Professionalism, yes, because I was speaking on stage around the corner, and it wouldn’t do to turn up tipsy—God forbid I actually told the audience what I really thought. So, instead of a few glasses of plonk and a taste of that high life, I settled on a Diet Coke and a plate of smoked salmon. A rather slim portion it was, but fine, lovely even—delicately brined, served with a scattering of capers and just enough lemon to keep things interesting. The service was friendly, unobtrusive but attentive, as if they could sense I was one well-poured pinot away from complete abandon. Ah, what could have been, had I not been tethered to the shackles of decency. Still, a tidy lunch, a Diet Coke, and a dose of envy it was. Here’s to next time when I’m not professionally handcuffed and can swig with the best of them.

Five of us were celebrating knowing each other from university for 50 years and decided to look for a central London venue with a small private dining room so that we could hear each other easily - a challenge in some busy restaurants these days! From the point of booking, Davy's was prompt and helpful with responses. A small deposit of £10 pp had been requested and we were not limited with our menu choices, being able to choose from the fairly extensive normal menu. A minimum spend of £350 was requested by Davy's which was not a problem and was incredibly reasonable, given some of the other establishments' requirements. We had the small private room at the back of the ground floor, The Office, from 12.15 - 5pm and were not hassled or ignored. Service was attentive but unobtrusive and very friendly. One of us was gluten-free and a helpful menu was provided, with suggestions provided too by the staff. The food was surprisingly good with ample portions that were not out-facing. A lovely, friendly location with good food and drink, and we hope to return next year to celebrate our 51st anniversary!

Food excellent. 2 out of 3 in our party ordered the fish pie which was quite popular throughout the restaurant and was a great hit at our table.

Great day for sitting outside. Good food, wine and service

Leí que las salchichas con puré de patatas (bangers and mash) de este sitio estaban muy buenas, y realmente lo estaban! Trato muy bueno por parte del personal.

all very pleasant staff, fast and efficient service

Great food and exelant wine list

Visited for the first time last week for a client meeting at 11am. When the meeting finished I had 2 hours until my next meeting so stayed for lunch. The atmosphere was so friendly and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and attentive. It was obvious that this place is a favourite for many people. The food was also outstanding! Really couldn’t have asked for more. I’m often in London visiting clients and will now always go to Davey’s for those meetings, whether it be just a mid morning coffee or client lunch. Thank you!

Absolute shocker today medium rare ribeye stake burnt and medium cold lumpy mash potato creamy spinach with grated cheese really asked for a lemon to squeeze over spinach never came very poor to say the least would have complained and sent it back if not for entertaining a customer the bill came quick enough 0 stars poor service gone way down hill

I've been going to Davy's establishments since 1984, and to this venue for years as it is a good position for a decent business breakfast. However, today's experience has incensed me. The fancy Twining's teabag just doesn't hit the spot, it doesn't deliver a decent morning cuppa, so today I asked for two teabags in my teapot. I had two pots. When the bill came up I had been charged for four. When I queried the bill the waitress told me that the manager had told her to charge double. There was no intervention at the point of order and explanation that a menu variation need a price adjustment. At the very least, it should have been explained on delivery of the bill so I didn't think that an error had been made. At £4.34 for a cup of tea including service charge I am not being petty, I just want the restaurant to respect my custom and treat me fairly and tell me the cost implication of my choice. Most of all, think about the ramifications of cheesing off a loyal customer by being cheap over less than 10 pence worth of teabags. It will be sometime before you might see me again - I have a choice.

I organised a wine tasting event here as our teambuilding activity, and it was such a great experience. Our team loved it! The boardroom was special & cosy, the wines and meal great, and the winetasting program was super, huge thanks to the lady leading it. She explained about the wines and the region- production differences (along with her italian colleague) and she had such a vibrant personality which was the extra bonus in this night. Price was also fair and very transparent. Organisation was smooth with sales, thank you again! Would come back again when visiting London.

Good service and atmosphere. Good choice of food and wines. Great place for three friends to catch up over a bottle or three.

Sky Gardenに行った帰り、近くで食べる場所がないか探していて偶然入ったお店。 従業員全員が対応よく、テキパキと働いており、それぞれのテーブルに目を配っていました。 注文したものの盛り付けも美しく、味もおいしかった。地元の方に愛されているレストランと感じるほどにたくさんの客で賑わっていました！ 入口は一見パブのようですが、食事だけだと奥の静かな場所へ案内されました。カフェだけの利用の方もいたようです。 とにかくスタッフの方が素晴らしかった。

We had a family dinner for 7 people on a Friday night. The restaurant was very quiet but this did not spoil the experience. The staff could not have done enough for us , they were very helpful with my elderly mother and service was impeccable. The food was superb and wine flowed. All in all would have no hesitation in returning to this lovely restaurant.

for groups of 10 to 20 there are two private rooms available for hire. The friendly waitress made excellent recommendations for menu items. Service was prompt as we were doing a corporate lunch. I recommend the crab and seafood linguini , it is a tomato-based one that is a little spicy and well balanced.

@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Great atmosphere in the morning, excellent service from the staff but the portions were surprisingly small and although well cooked, quite plain.

Ristorante con piatti inglesi di buon livello. Ambiente confortevole e buon servizio. Piatti inglesi ben cucinati e presentati. Prezzi nella media londinese.

I found the menu generally unappealing. The smoked salmon I had with cremefraiche, crispy capers and melba toast was generous and of good quality and the wine selection was great at the reasonable price end. Service was inattentive and I couldn’t catch anyone’s eye to get the bill so went to the bar to pay. I wouldn’t rush back.

Exceptional team - accommodating, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for a large party of guests. Flexible around timings and changes and were able to calmly go with the flow. Chefs were exceptional as were the waiting team all evening. Will be returning.

Great attentive service, good food and we weren’t rushed. Deducted one star because guy on door wasn’t very welcoming.

6 of us had a delayed Christmas lunch, due to train strikes we had to reschedule 3 times. Davys transferred our booking and deposit without question. We had a private dining area which was great, service was exceptional and all food throughly enjoyed. Great wine list as well.

Seated, they had no record of my booking. Sat for 20 mins, not offered a drink. We asked for a drink and had to ask for a menu. After a further 10 minutes we received our coffee and was told that if we want breakfast it would be an extremely long wait as they are serving a large group at the back of the restaurant and they only have one working hob. Waste of time, should’ve been told the situation as soon as we walked in. We left and went elsewhere.

We booked a room for a work Xmas meal, the room was amazing and the place itself is a real gem. We were a bit disappointed by the beer/ale options (no cask, no guinness, two or three beers that weren't in bottles) but honestly that's the only real gripe - thanks to all the staff, they were amazing. Will come back next year!

Disappointed with the environment, service and food. I wouldn’t return.

As a solo diner I can highly recommend Davy’s, the staff were very attentive. As alway the food and wine were fantastic and really good value.

Booked this very last minute with some girl friends. We were chuffed to find ourselves in a little private dining room and away from the noisy bar area. The food was really good - everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff were lovely - friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Friendly service and well priced, especially considering that it's in the City. The waiting staff were happy to let me charge my AirPods behind the bar too, so that was especially helpful!

Great wine testing experience with Irina and Julia! Highly recommend

We had our team’s dinner at Davy’s. Ordered various alcoholic drinks, food and desserts. Davy’s has the perfect location however food are rather disappointing and overpriced considering the ranges of choices, tastes and presentation. Overall, a nice spot for after work drink but do not raise your expectation for the food served here.

We booked a table for 8 and got the boardroom which was perfect. Great service from attentive staff - good food ( not great) but good delivery. We were never rushed even as the last people to leave The only negative was the lack of labelling of Gluten Free - no excuses just poor - but the wine was great as was the beer.

Reliably good food at a fair price and great friendly staff... You can't go wrong with their bangers and mash!!

The steak sandwich there is legendary and is always great with a class of rioja - fantastic!

Excellent service recommended for everyone to come and get lunch or glass vine with sharing boards meat and cheese!

Out with a client and we went to Davy’s. I had never been before and was delighted to give it a try. Our waitress was really friendly and hospitable, answering all our questions about the menu and making a few great recommendations. We had a superb meal and thoroughly pleasant evening. Great restaurant and will be back again!

Check your receipt. They over charged me and made my beer the most eypensive one ever I bought

The food and the service is outstanding, yes it's expensive but you get what you pay for. 5 stars should have been awarded but the temperature in this place is so hot and made me a little uncomfortable. Great wine selection and other drinks were available too, the menu is vast but not at all daunting.

Very organised with hygiene and social distancing without spoiling the ambience

So first time back at work in the office so colleague and I went to our usual place Davy’s plantation place. Normally a busy place with a varied menu but with the world as it is now, it was a limited menu and very quiet. The food we had was excellent and the staff as always here are great. Hope to see this place and the city back to nearer how it use to be soon. Don’t want the city and the fab restaurants we have to die!

Don’t book this place for an 8am breakfast meeting - they make you stand outside in the cold. They shouldn’t take bookings at that time or need to make this clear.

Not really a "bad" restaurant, only too bad we were discriminated because we're young travelers. We had to "pre-slip" our creditcard because they suspected that we wouldn't pay. When we asked them about it they told us that they do this with all their customers, ofcourse this isn't true as they didn't seem to do this to the business men in the suits and the big families. In my opinion there are better restaurants in the area, you just have to remember to place a reservation in time.

Davy's at Plantation Place always delivers a good service at reasonable city prices. The King Prawn linguine is always a winner. Good place for business catch ups

Despite taking my booking the restaurant rang me the following morning to inform me that on the day of my dinner booking they were closing at 14:00. Perhaps they should have informed OpenTable of this fact. Therefore we had to make a booking elsewhere and I cannot offer any opinion on this restaurant or their service

Breakfast was fine, not very special. High pricing, but good coffee.

We were seated in a quiet room and found the service to be quite good. Excellent wine list and wonderful food were paired together nicely. Enjoyed it very much.

Great service, high quality food and good coffee. Well located for the Plantation Place coffee.

Attended a meeting nearby so decided to take lunch here. Booking all in order - as it’s very busy best to book in advance to secure a table. Excellent menu with great choice. Settled for the chicken schnitzel for the main course which was excellent. Double expresso following to ensure alertness in the afternoon. Great for business lunches. Good ambiance and WiFi if you need it. Seating is perhaps more formal to the rear of the restaurant. Has vegetarian and vegan specials. Good selection of wines also available by the glass. Excellent service with attentive waiters. Prices less than most in the neighbourhood.

Went to Davy's for lunch with colleagues. Staff are very accommodating and food was great as always. Service was a little slower than usual today.

Value for money City business lunch venue. You can't go wrong by lunching here.

Great food, very helpful lovely staff.

Good food and excellent service

Seated in the back room but not in the private rooms. For some reason the acoustics are very bad and when it started to fill up with other diners it was quite difficult to hold a conversation across the table without raising your voice significantly. Not much they can do about it I know.

La comida está increíble, y la atención impecable. Todo vino en su tiempo perfecto. Tiene muy buena localización el local

Very nice food and wine (as you'd expect) but one of those places that looks busy around 7pm and is empty by 8.30pm. The service was as you'd expect and the food was of a good standard.

Very good service but portions small and the mint tea needed more mint. Simple thing but highlighted the small portion shortfall

We had breakfast meeting in a private room there with my client (5 of us). The breakfast was amazing. The private room was quite. My client and my colleagues absolutely love the experience. We will definitely revisit for future breakfast meetings. Highly recommended if you want to have casual yet confidential meetings.

In my view one of the best bar/restaurants in the city. A modern facility leaning on its historical connection with the city. For a city facility it is quite reasonably priced and the service is first class. This place is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is an ideal meeting place for business meetings or just catching up with old friends. Private dining is also available in a number of rooms of various sizes.. Only drawback for me is that parking is almost impossible and you have to be very lucky to find a space anywhere remotely close

Always very good for a business lunch

Nice atmosphere and a nice menu but a very limited choice for Vegetarians and no Vegan choice ,however all at a good price with friendly service

Nice view. Beautiful atmosphere. Nice front of house . The best kitchen team 👌😁🔪

Food here is usually fairly good, but yesterday's fish & chips was not up to the usual high standard. Batter swimming in grease and pea puree tepid.

We went for meal on Monday night on our way home it was quiet but decided to give it a go. Our waitress Magda, was fantastic she was attentive and funny. We both went for the burgers and were not disappointed, they were big, tasty and juicy. We would definitely go back.

A group of us get together a few times a year and have lunch at different places and this time there were 10 of us. This was the first time here for us all. We sat on one long table. Food, drinks and service were all good and everyone enjoyed it. As often happens with a large table I didn't really notice anything about what was going on around the rest of the place but from our point of view it worked for us and we all left happy.

A popular wine bar in the City of London. It also has rooms for private parties and a dining area. The food seems pretty good.

Average food but excellent service. Pavel was quick and polite. Good choice of wine but a bit expensive.

Aparte del excelente personal, no había nada memorable sobre el almuerzo aparte de la compañía. Este restaurante está a diez minutos a pie de la estación del Banco, no muy lejos del mercado de Leadenhall. Tuve un aperitivo de cangrejo de río, excepcional y un filete medio raro también excepcional y una tabla de queso que era agradable, pero nada más. El café era verdaderamente atroz. La lista de vinos es bastante extensa, por lo que hay algo que se adapta a la mayoría de los paladares y carteras. Entrantes 6 a 9 y platos principales de 13 a 18, excepto los filetes donde el filete es aproximadamente 30. Vino de 20 a 100 por botella. Estaba muy ocupado, tal vez solo un día libre en la cocina.

Muy agradable. Impromptu ponerse al día. Salmón ahumado simple seguido de costilla. No podría ser mejor. Gran botella de clarete de la casa. Excelente servicio, muy relajado. ¡Y tengo una tarjeta de Davy para arrancar! Será mejor que vuelva.

Great burger, good atmosphere and friendly staff

Fantastic breakfast, a lot of options and accommodating to all dietary needs. Staff were fantastic

Buenas noches con un gran cliente, tomé la habitación privada en la parte de atrás y el equipo nos cuidó muy bien, buen servicio pero discreto. Recomendaría.

Great evening very enjoyable service fantastic great choice of wine

Met a work colleague here for dinner and really enjoyed it. It was relatively quiet so we were able to have a really good conversation without the usual hustle and bustle.

Well priced for business lunch, good food, good service.

Surprisingly good steak and wine

Service was great but not exceptional, the food was good, a little too fancy for my liking but it tasted good, I was quite shocked that a place like Davy’s didn’t stock Gavi de Gavi but had a decent bottle of Chenin Blanc

England make it through the last 16! TV screen quality could be better. Should work on that. Food good! Staff good!

Great lunch - the staff were very attentive and friendly.

I visited as part of a private party that booked the whole place out. Nice food and drink. Great location with easy access to public transportation.

Las camareras son invariablemente una delicia y rápidos y eficientes. La comida es bastante corriente, pero Dios club sándwich de pollo sándwich de bistec es buena, también bien. Patatas fritas no son doble cocinada, pero bien. Borgoña casa blanca es una excelente relación calidad-precio para la ciudad. No se lleno ¡cuidado!

Good food, excellent service and in the heart of the city. I just had a Ceasar Salad and a dessert and no negativities.

Excellent staff and the food is delicious. Try the Cumberland sausages they're the best I've had!!! Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices and quick turnaround! I would recommend Davy's to anyone, I especially love their breakfast check out my pic!!!

It's a Davy's. So, like all chains, if you like their style you'll like this place. Light airy space, friendly efficient staff. Bit soulless but that's not the staff's fault.

Met up for a breakfast at Davy's, service good but failed the porridge test! Yes ok porridge is not everyone's thing but if you cannot do this right it's only oats and milk for chrisake then the rest is going down hill pdq!

Good staff, professional, polite and friendly service. Nice food

Very nice and friendly staff. Good drinks in a reasonable prices. Definitely would recommend the place. All thumbs up 👍 👍 👏 👌

It's been a corporate Christmas Dinner managed by Natalia with service by Maria (Marysia).

Pasé unos días de ir y venir con el equipo de atención al cliente en línea reservando una zona y comprobar la comida pedir para nuestra llegada para una reunión de cliente. Cuando llegamos no tenían constancia de nuestra reserva (aunque nuestra zona estaba reservada) y no había comida lista para nuestro grupo. Era un poco embarazoso como nuestros huéspedes eran en tiempo limitado, así que queríamos para ir perfectamente para celebrar una oferta que había sido hecho. Hicimos otra en el lugar y dieron la orden de fuentes más tarde. Decepcionó envié el contacto había estado en contacto con y preguntó por qué este contratiempo había pasado y un mes después aún no he tenido respuesta. Me esperaba más por esta cadena en el corazón de la ciudad para ser honesto y duda volveré a reservar otra tomar cliente aquí. En general, la comida estaba bien y a un precio razonable.

Breakfast! Working business with coffee and sausage sandwiches, great combination.

Very nice and friendly staff. Good drinks in a reasonable prices. All thumbs up 👍 👍 👏 👌

Boring wine bar. Good for purpose but not much else.

Popped in here for a quick bite to eat. First impressions, very standard fare, layout and restaurant is clean and tidy, nothing special but nothing to complain about. Everyone went for the fish and chips, was haddock which cheered the Northerner up. Fish was excellent, came with minted peas, why not mushy peas? never understood why you would want to mess with perfection! Was a bit shy in the chips department, you have gone to the effort of cooking a great piece of fish why skimp on the chips! Overall pretty good, but just a little more and you would have got an excellent vote!

Fuimos allí para una cena de negocios con un grupo de personas. Calidad de la comida era muy promedio de exigir mejoras, el servicio era una chapuza, por ejemplo ciertas guarniciones para el bife de costilla no llegó hasta el final, a pesar de múltiples recordatorios.

Food was good, service a bit slow.

Lovely food, great wine choice, handy position.

A Davy's ha un par de veces para comer y tengo que decir que la comida es muy coherente. Una buena selección de platos principales todo muy sabroso y el vino es muy agradable. Más recientemente fui aquí para una reunión de desayuno, de nuevo en el desayuno era realmente bueno. Puedo recomendar el salmón ahumado y huevos revueltos con tostadas francesas ¡ñam ñam!

Great food but the staff maybe had a bad day as we had to go inside and asked them to take our orders after 15 minutes waiting without anyone coming to serve us.

Food was very poor. For starter I had 2 very thin slivers of salmon on thin toast that was too hard to bite. Thinnest piece of sea bass that looked as though it had been waiting too long - totally overcooked. Service poor

Had a great lunch here. Very good food. Good service. A comfortable place to eat and Reasonably priced.

Good food, nothing exceptional but good. The personnel was very very kind and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Nice bar with a hood outside space
