Guinea Grill in City of London, Westminster

Food is excellent. Atmosphere is excellent. Staff efficient but lack any engagement with customers. They should know that they are allowed to smile and look the customer in the eye.

Food is nice. Tables super close together. The waiter was lovely. However they took another drink order (second bottle), poured a glass then told us we had to leave in 15 mintues. It's not on - I won't be back. Shame.

Have dined here many times over the last 20 or so years. The Guinea changed hands a few years ago and staff seemed to get a bit of an attitude after that. It was all different and back to normal Guinea high standards this time. Lateral expansion which enabled a second ground floor dining room was very well done, the reprehensible tight, hot “snug” where they always wanted to shove me has been torn out. Food was superb, the waiter gracious and it was an altogether wonderful experience. Glad I decided to give it one more shot.

Cristiano and the Team are the very best. Really enjoyed, professional service in one of the most iconic locations in London

Five stars all the way. Loved the ambiance, the food and wine selection were impeccable. We had a relaxing two hour dinner, all three of us had the steak pie with a Chateauneuf du Pap and an amazing cocktail to start. We will keep coming back!

Very nice and tasty meat restaurant. Waiters were spot on serving food. The place is sound.

If you have been here you don’t need to know why you need to come back

Went for the Sunday roast and it was excellent. Big wine selection, although it it a touch on the expensive side. Highly reccomended.

I visited the restaurant for lunch with my wife and was not disappointed. Simply everything about the experience is fantastic. Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable. The service is on point and the food top drawer. I can recommend the goats cheese tart for starters, the 10oz fillet for mains and the pecan tart for dessert. Definitely worth a visit, make sure you book and will return. Highly recommended!!

Fourth time for a meal at Guinea Grill. Another fabulous experience. Started off with the person who greeted us. We were early for our reservation, and he guided us to the bar for a glass of wine so we would not be waiting in a crowded area. He also assisted us with our wine selection for the meal. Once seated, the service and food were excellent. Always make it a point to have dinner at GG when we are in London.

Great early dinner where the quality of food was excellent and the service outstanding. We had seafood cocktail and beef wellington which were both lovely. The team were attentive but not overbearing and the menu was not too big but offered something for everyone. It was packed outside with drinkers which created a great atmosphere and the restaurant is very well located in the centre of London.

Pies were good steaks were very poor for the price. Wine was overpriced and service was off hand. Not worth the money in my opinion. Pub was good though.

Starters were good, but nothing wow, the pie wasn’t actually a pie, steak was great, but not worthy of the price we paid…. £180 per person x4 (wine was £80 e £150)

This is our go-to restaurant in London and we always have a fantastic time. The food is excellent (whatever you have, make sure you order the sweetcorn side). Staff are brilliant specially Stuart front of house, Si behind the bar and Josef who welcomes all the guests. We are always made to feel very welcome. Until next time!

Beautiful pub, the food and service were quite disappointing and overpriced

Incredible food and service, wellington and sticky toffee were out of this world!

Great afternoon meal, the Beef Wellington was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed the food, wine and the service. Have been before and would go again.

An absolute classic. Always have the steak and kidney pie and red wine.

Amazing location, delicious food, fabulous service, and all together a splendid place to visit.

Fantastic Sunday Roast and brilliant service

Absolute best pub/amazing steakhouse in London! Thank you!

Look. Food seemed fine. Wife enjoyed it. The place is just too cramped. I wasn’t able to eat in peace without being bumped into by staff doing what they need to. Maybe I’m a bit precious with my personal space but it ruined the experience.

Delicious as always and great dining environment. Service a little brusque on this occasion. When my fellow diner asked for an additional slice of bread, he was unceremoniously told that there'd be an additional charge and that he should save space for his dinner!! I've been returning for years and love the steaks, atmosphere and location. You'll not be disappointed

Dined here at an early sitting Food was fabulous, but the service was even better! Clearly under new Management than when I last visited a few years back, and definitely delivering the goods ! Will be back!

Best staff, best food, best Guinness

Some of the best pints of Guinness enjoyed before a great steak dinner. Service is impeccable, and very friendly. Steaks were very nice - we had a couple of 1kg ribeyes and some chateaubriand. The sides were standout though, great selection and quality. It's not a cheap meal, but you get a lot for your money.

This is such a great restaurant for meat lovers and they have now changed the setup a bit, which felt more spacious. I've ordered a sirloin steak and it was amazing! Creamed spinach came on a salty side so may not be for everyone.

Perfect Sunday roast options. British dish menu is available. White table cloth dining in an intimate old London Pub atmosphere.

The Guinea Grill is one of the oldest (1675) and most iconic pubs in London. Steeped in history the food and drinks here tip their hat to Great British tradition- excellent steak kidney mushroom pies, plenty steak & chips options, and beef Wellington are all on offer here at their highest standard. We had the steak and mushroom pie with a side of chips and creamy spinach, it was superb. Even if you're not eating, the bar serves up one of the best pulled Guiness in London which you can pair with oysters (highly recommended). The wine selection is carefully selected and vast, but be prepared to get your wallet out if you want a bottle- it ain't cheap. Plenty selections by the glass to keep costs down if need be. Or the Guiness of course. One of Londons best pubs and therefore by default one of the best pubs in the world. Long may it continue to serve the people of this city- hopefully for another 349 years!! Hear hear!

The Guinea Grill has long been my must go-to stop on every visit to London - for the superb Young’s Original and now Harvey’s Sussex Best and, above all , the steak, kidney, and mushroom pie (the excellent and reasonably priced wine cellar is also a draw). I was disappointed to see the new incarnation of the pies: smaller and without their unique ruffle crown - but the texture and taste are still unsurpassed and theres plenty if substance. I was amazed to learn that the sticky toffee pudding contains more than 1200 kcals! Lastly, the Young’s is inexplicably served at well below cellar temperature; impossibly cold to properly finish a cask beer. Please fix this, cellarperson!

Loved the old school atmosphere of this place. The wine selection is very decent. I didn't get lucky with my steak, which I felt was a bit undercooked and therefore too fatty. Nonetheless, I will definitely give it another go and would recommend it to others.

A truly wonderful Sunday lunch. Great food, wine and cocktails. And lovely to chin-wag with the waiters. Can’t wait to return.

We requested 2 glasses of house red wine without being informed this was rather more expensive than others listed at the top of the wine list. Otherwise our experience matched our previous visits….superb!

A truly delicious Sunday lunch, the service was first class, the Bloody Mary fantastic and the food top notch. Barely had room for pudding.

What a place! The beer was great in the pub, and the food was absolutely ding dong. However, when you're having steak and kidney pie with mash potatoes, some gravy is a must. We asked multiple times for some gravy, to be told "we only do gravy on a Sunday". This took the shine off a wonderful evening of great food and drink. It was a shame

Terrific evening, food was amazing and service superb. Having been going here for years and it’s as good as ever.

Fantastic food especially the pies and the vegetable accompaniments. The grill lives up to its reputation as well. The staff from the dapperly dressed Joseph, Knowledgeable Joseph and friendly Sam at the Bar contributed to the brilliant experience. Thank you!

Sunday Roast was delish! Recommend making a reservation but we were lucky to come at a time when there was space for a walk-in. Also enjoyed the Bloody Mary- very flavorful. While they didn’t have a kids menu they suggested sausages for our 7 y.o. with chips and he enjoyed his meal very much.

Cold food when camplain manger get very rude and arrogant not a place to be with an attitude of that He is unwelcoming at all Many other place to go in London

Delicious steaks and lamb chops! Friendly service and good atmosphere. The crowd outside the pub adds fun! Although we waited a long time for the food even the young children agreed it was worth the wait.

Off the main stream, fab selection of beers and wine including whispering Angel. The scotch egg and lamb chop is to die for. Well worth a visit

The most amazing food, wonderful steak!

A classy British establishment. Too many places have lost this type of traditional British charm but not the Guinea grill. First class.

Fantastic lunch on Thursday, delicious food and excellent service

Food is incredible and the place is sublime however it’s just so congested you are practically sat on top of other guests. But service food wine selection quality of meat, seafood, ambience incredible. Couple less tables for me that’s all!! Specially if you a tall and broad lad

Guinea Grill is a restaurant and extremely popular pub. A hundreds year old steak restaurant in London. Steaks are sold by the gram weight. Salad or potatoes etc are served separately.

Best steak in London, perfect setting and service

Best steak in london, perfect setting and service. Cannot recommend enough, as long as you enjoy an old-school london experience

Quite pricey but worth it for a very special treat. It is tucked away in an expensive part of town.

Always a great meal and great place to hide away for an afternoon

The perfect place to be for your lunches, and lovely dinners out if you want to quickly impress your guests or even business clients. Our favourite pub in Mayfair. From perfectly cooked steaks, to proper sides! Must try: Guinness, steak & oyster pie Any steak Potato gratin (side) Gruyère spinach (side) Also had a roast here before! I recommend

Outstanding, old school British.

A real hidden gem find , lovely atmosphere , amazing pies & vegetables with super West Coast Ireland Oysters to start. Lovely service from Caitlyn and all the team. Thank you. Tim. & Katie

A regular visitor to Guinea Grill, we secured a private dining room for our Board of Directors. We ran late for our table & called ahead, the GG were very accommodating, we pre-ordered some wine at GG's suggestion. Our American visitors visit every time they are in town, best steak in London!

Great place to pop inor a drink after the theater.

A really intimate and cosy feel. Great food and a good way to enjoy an afternoon in London

The BEST steak I’ve ever had. Beautifully rendered fat and cooked to perfection. The staff are so kind and nice too. A wonderful evening and I’ll definitely be back.

Cute tucked away pub with excellent food

We were recommended here by good friends to eat and drink at or just drink at. We did pre dinner drinks before going to sexy fish for dinner. Fab place and really nice atmosphere. Definitely want to go and eat here, and will be back

Service was surprisingly sub-par when we visited (except at the bar, where it was amazing), but everything else was great. I recommend it and plan to go back.

Fabulous! Guinea Grill has an old school charm and blends a lovely traditional London pub bar at the front with an air conditioned fine dining restaurant to the rear. Our party of four were celebrating so we pushed the boat out with the extensive wine list but there were plenty of cheaper options available that anchors The Guinea as a London pub rather than mingling with Mayfair's stratospheric prices. We tucked into our old favourites like steak, pies, devilled kidneys and puddings that fully live up to their billing.

A gem of a place for Sunday roast in traditional style. The service is impeccable as is the food!

Absolutely love this place, whether it’s the restaurant or the pub. The food is always fantastic, and always excellently and promptly served. The servers are prompt, courteous and not intrusive. They know their food and what works with what, simple, classic and perfectly executed. A brilliant gem in Lodon

We stay at the Lansdowne club when in London and have been to the Guinea Grill many time before the pandemic. Always the BEST in service, food, atmosphere and menu. My husband loves it even more than I do (if thats possible!). He would always have steak or pork chop and i would usually have steak and kidney pie. We always ended up with sticky toffee pudding which we shared. He had wine, i had sangria. Since the pandemic i have come alone to london, last year for wimbledon, a friend came with me to the guinea Grill for lunch. He knows it and loves it. This year i went 3 times there. I ate at the bar each time, i had guiness, grilled kidneys on toast, and rock oysters! sticky toffee pudding or cheesecake. Everything super!! Alan, one of the bartenders, was esoecially helpful to me. Best restaurant!!!

Sumptuous. Great place for a real traditional meal. The devilled sweetbreads are to die for!

I have been to many restaurants in London in the last months and The Guinea was amazing the other night! Very good meat, perfect service and great atmosphere. Stuart was our waiter and the service provided by Stuart was exceptional and very professional. He showed us the house where the late Queen was born in 1926 with a photo of Queen Mum. Have a look at the historic pictures and maps in The Guinea. The pub is historic! Mayfair stands very much for London and The Guinea is a great place to have still reasonably priced quality food. Dankeschön :-)

This is my first time trying this restaurant and I must say wow what a fantastic restaurant the food is absolutely out of this world. Ribeye steak is a must with all the sides and trimmings , also sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert. I would definitely recommend going to this restaurant when visiting London.

Absolutely amazing experience! Staff couldn't do enough for us, really spoilt and the food was absolutely amazing!

Excellent lunch dining experience, ambience, food and service top quality.

Magnificent as always 👌🏽 The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides were just amazing.

The food was excellent. The banana toffee dessert was probably the best dessert I’ve had in my life. No joke. The beef and Guinness pie was delicious, as was the steak and kidney pie, beef Wellington, and steaks. Service was top notch. It is a small venue so that makes it very loud and echo, but the food was so delicious it made up for it.

Cuts of meat served and cooked to perfection! Definitely an excellent experience that I would gladly repeat. It was recommended to me by an Italian person who has lived in London for years. He was right! Absolutely must try!

The reservation was made to celebrate my partners birthday. He had been looking forward to an evening of good food & wine in a friendly atmosphere. The reality was completely different. I arrived first, I noticed the table was located not too far from the disabled toilet. You could smell a chemical smell in the air. On this evening it had been raining heavily- I don’t know if it caused an effect to the drainage outside but I knew I did not want to be seated there so asked to be moved to another table. Once my partner arrived and was seated. Before asking for his drink order or engaging with us. The waiter proceeded to alert us of when the table would be needed for the next reservation at 20:30 and we should order our mains as quickly as possible. Bearing in mind we were not late, we were 30 mins early. I have never experienced that kind of bluntness from any restaurant before. “How do you think you can get away with applying pressure to eat and go?” I chose to overlook this behaviour as I knew my partner was looking forward to eating there so this was not addressed. His main was a Ribeye Steak for £46 with no sides. You would get a better cut out of a supermarket. The steak was very fatty and partly inedible. The garlic butter which was supposed to melt over the steak was almost frozen and would not melt. The chips resembled McCain’s triple cut chips. My main which was the Beef mixed grill wasn’t great either, this tasted reheated instead of freshly prepared. Shortly after the main course the waiter proceeded to spill my partners glass of red wine on him. Instead of clearing the table and did not apologise for his clumsy error. When making the reservation I had informed the staff member that it was my partners birthday. I enquired if a ‘birthday plate’ could be arranged. I was assured that this could happen. When the dessert arrived like other establishments I’ve taken him to, you will see a decorated plate with ‘Happy Birthday’ wording, a candle or the birthday song being sung. This was not the case at the Guinea Grill. He received the dessert he had ordered then handed a postcard with the waiter stating “it’s your birthday right?” It felt like it was an after thought to the waiter, completely meaningless. Very disappointing. The bill was presented with the service charge added on of nearly £35. I have no issues paying for this at other establishments but after all I had witnessed and experienced - I asked for the service charge to be removed. The waiter could not grasp the concept that how he had acted from when my partner arrived had contributed to the outcome at the end of the evening. The bill was paid followed by a prompt exit - with both of us vowing never to go back again. Disengaged staff will cost this place customers.

Had a fabulous welcome at The Guinea Grill. Excellent service from Sai. The scotch egg is amazing. The Guinness pretty good too!

If budget isn’t an issue (you’re next door to the Bugatti showroom) then dive in. Amazing food, wines & service

The Guinea is a tradition in London. A must-visit for locals and travelers alike. It’s one of my pleasures to go for a quick pint, or a proper steak dinner, they have a wide range of meat cuts and great selection of wine. Today, however, for the first time ever I went to try their Sunday roast. With confidence I can say that it was one of the best roasts I’ve ever had. Perhaps not a surprise given the high quality food they serve, but still, it was amazing to see how they brought their high quality ingredients and service to deliver a super roast experience. Unfortunately didn’t take any pictures, but we tried the Guinea Bloody Mary to start things off, followed by wine, and coffee and desert after the roast. The cheesecake is great by the way. For roast, we had at the table pork belly and the beef, so both great options. We were lucky that we were there a bit late, usually a busy place, so we needed up staying several hours enjoying the atmosphere. Good to go with friends, co workers, or a date.

Fabulous pub and restaurant. Excellent pint of Guinness. Staff were great, particularly Alan from Cork. Really impressed with the service. Best steak perfectly cooked. Really enjoyed the evening. Great location for chat and excellent food.

Birthday celebration, one of many in the restaurant!! Great fun.

Phenomenal fillet steak, beautifully seasoned and cooked. Excellent service. Arguably the freshest Guinness in London. Wonderful place!

I thought pies had a ceiling, the Guinea Grill pie smashed through that ceiling.

The food was fantastic. The rib bone steak was so tasty. The wine list is eye wateringly expensive and I had to search for the cheapest wine at £79 ish. It was a great wine. The service was unique but the quirkiness added to a really great night. Will return.

As ever, top quality food, drink and service!

Amazing traditional meat restaurant. Absolutely delicious, very professional service and great atmosphere

Nice pub food with mayfair prices, glad I went but wouldn't return.

Tucked in a small backstreet in Mayfair lies a gem. Would give 10 stars if I could. Unfussy and excellent steaks in a charming old world setting. I cannot recommend it more. Had the best rib eye of my life and honestly the asparagus was the best I’ve had too. Everyone was so kind and service was of a time long gone. I showed up without a reservation and was truly taken care of. Do visit the restroom to get a better look at the place. So cool! I will be back soon. Cheers ⭐️

Guinea Grill always delivers on the Sunday Roast! We've come here several times and loved the experience each visit. We also seem to be lucky and have been seated in @Nacer's section several times; he is a great host and makes the experience extra pleasant.

Exceptional. Thank you so so much for making us welcome and the wonderful food and wine. Every member of staff is a delight, they recommended the broccoli and ordering it was the right decision. Carpaccio, porterhouse and Châteauneuf-du-Pape! Best meal I’ve had this year. x

Great lunch at Guinea. Even though they are famous for their meat, had a great experience having their pie for lunch. Can be a bit noisy diring lunch hour so not the place for a quiet lunch. But food and service are amazing.

Amazing food and great service. Steak an absolute standout! Atmosphere is as you would expect from a small quirky restaurant hidden beneath several buildings. Small but fitting!!

In love with this brilliant pub, with top class food served here. Meats well presented in the chiller, beautiful cuts there, definitely able to find a cut that fits your palate.

ate here as a 4 recently Had the asparagus and duck egg to start -delicious Ribeye for main -equally good. Loved the wine list-had a couple of bottles of Amarone that we spot on. Service was on point with good attentiveness With so many places to chose to eat in London you wont go far wrong with this place

Lovely though expensive food: £46 for a steak, £5.50 for peas, £5 for couple of spoons of sauce, eyewateringly expensive wine that STARTS from £60ish a bottle. Great staff. Enjoyable. Though I'm not sure it was, at steak, chips and veg for 3 with one bottle of wine, £275 worth of enjoyable.

My partner and I both got sick after eating pie with oyster. We informed the restaurant, and while they investigated, their response focused on the oysters being cooked (as if by a miracle it would make them better by frying them), without acknowledging our illness. It felt dismissive, especially since we both experienced similar symptoms.

Busy busy Mayfair pub. Always lots of people there but the staff are pretty good at serving everyone with speed. The food at the Guinea Grill is your average pie and mash. It's more nostalgic than great food but I'd always go back for a great fun evening with hearty food.

Perfect place for Sunday Roast. Excellent food, generous portions, great decor and ambiance and very attentive service from our friendly waiter @Nacer. Thanks!! We will definitely come again.

Great place with great food and even better service. We were lucky enough to be served by Nacer and with one of us with deadly food allergies, he made sure that our experience was flawless.

Wonderful experience all around. I am somebody who enjoys a good wine and the sommelier working that day, Matthew I believe, did an excellent job of recommending me a brilliant wine to pair with my food.

A great experience was had by my party. The service was impeccable. The team are lovely and I couldn't recommend the Lamb chops more. Delicious! Thank you team Guinea 🥂
