We were so pleased to have outdoor seating at this Mandarin Oriental spot that overlooks Hyde Park. The service is beyond A+.

Boulud is a safe bet if you need to have a bite in the Kengsington neighborhood, it's a nice french bistro at the Manadrin with good quality ingredients and nice professional staff.. I had the veal tartar, very good cut au couteau wich does not crush the meat and leave a clean feel when one eat these micro cubes. I have to say that each time I have black truffle at any Boulud restaurant, in NY , London, or Baltimore, it is tasteless and without the typical perfume, it is always odorless. This for me is a major inconvenient. A real Tuber Melanospurum should fill the room with its smell, if it does not, I suspect it just is not the real one, but a pale imitation from China or somewhere else than Perigord. If you want real truffle in London go to Helene Darose, or a two star Michelin... The pintade fermiere was delicious, very simply presented, a bit too much potatoes, but it was well prepared and coocked. The only things I did not like this time was the special negroni, that is a sweet syrupy american kids decoction, and the fondant au chocolat, a small lava cake identical to any one see in several other restaurants, same taste and aspect, I suspect it is industrialy prepared and shipped world wide frozen to anybody, but I cant prove it. The difference with this one is that it fell on my stomach like a brick and I was I'll for the rest of the day. The tacky embience music match the rich and tacky patrons, probably attracted by the world famous temple of expensive vulgarity nearby: Harrods.

Really disappointed in our whole experience. Our neighbours sat there watching videos on their phones with speakers on the whole meal. Not the soundtrack you want to your romantic meal. The staff did nothing so I went and asked if there was any policy on this as it shouldn’t be up to me to ask them to turn the volume down. All I was offered was the opportunity for me to move table. I understand that people are more Reliant on phones for entertainment these days but surely a good restaurant doesn’t allow phones to compromise other diners experience.

We went for New Years eve dinner and were given a table at the far back (in the kitchen casual dining area) basically not the main restaurant. When queried about being seated in this casual area, we were told the main restaurant was booked out, however they then offered to serve us dessert in the main restaurant. Very disappointing first impression.

Meal booked for 10, arrived at 9:45 after having a drink in Mandarin Bar and was shown to the front desk. Was told to have a drink at the bar, whilst the table was prepared. At 10:10 I approached the desk to ask if they had forgotten about me. I watched as a table was made up near the entrance and was then shown my table. Waited an age for service. Can’t fault the food, Dover sole for main was superb. After I reserved the meal on open table it said someone would be in touch to secure the booking and nobody did. In hindsight, I should have followed it up as I don’t think the booking was made. Also no count down or anything for New Year, so it was a bit flat.

I have had six Christmas Lunches at Bar Boulud. We arrived on time and the receptionist said she didn't have a reservation for us . We convinced her that we did including email confirmations. She asked to see the emails. Really ? Sure we always go to restaurants with emails. We were taken to a table at the back next to where the chefs were preparing the food . It was noisy and immediately two tables of screaming children were seated next to us. The food was excellent. However , the rest of our experience was not elegant . The member of staff that organised the christmas crackers should be fired immediately. We paid £270 for a mediocre experience. The fact that we have been there six times for Christmas meant nothing. In fact they had never heard of us or could find our reservation.

I’ve been coming here sporadically over the last seven(?) years and was always a fan. However, it has become increasingly clear that it’s simply not worth the money for quite average food and drinks (don’t bother asking for even a simple classic cocktail). I think it has gone downhill a bit, with simple dishes being below gastropub quality. There are many better options around and we will not be returning here again.

It’s amazing how a restaurant can change. Whilst it is 2 years since my last visit this place is now a very poor version of the restaurant it once was. Clearly the Knightsbridge set have moved on. The menu, food and service are now basic and really poor value for money. Sad to say this won’t be somewhere I will go back to again. I would avoid. It’s now just a hotel restaurant rather than a great restaurant in a hotel.

Very disappointed with the service. Seated for 15 minutes and had to ask for menus then waited another 10 minutes to order. People next to us arrived after us and had already got their drinks and ordered their food. As we could see things were taking so long all we ordered was a charcuterie plate and soup. In total we spent 1 hour 40 minutes just for a bowl of soup. We also had to ask twice just to get the bill. We were staying at the hotel and were extremely surprised by the service in this restaurant.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, lively music but not to loud that obstructs conversations. The staff where professional and courteous, coming to the table at the right times, bringing the food at a prudent amount in between, and not taking long to fulfil small requests. The food was amazing, although I got what I wanted, I wish there was less hearty options that is not a salad. I would find it difficult to bring someone to the restaurant who has a different taste then I do. I wish the dessert menu as well had more options like a simple cake or a pie. Sometimes the simplest thing is exactly what you need after a great meal.

Been a while since I came here and it's not as good as I remember. Food was "OK", not bad but not memorable either. The skate in particular was way too salty but generally most of the dishes were. We didn't like the service - on the one hand clearing up as soon as the last bite had been eaten (or was still being eaten), on the other forgetting to bring things we'd ordered or one two occasions bringing two when we'd ordered one. A bit of a mess really

Nice enough restaurant, however staff oscillated from overkill (three different members of staff working the table) to zero (merrily chatting amongst themselves and not noticing the clients). Little flexibility in the menu, very limited side orders and even with a children’s menu it’s again not that flexible. Somewhat surprised we had to make a reservation for 6pm in a Wednesday, especially as he restaurant was empty (14 guests when we left at 7.45pm) In addition you receive two email confirmations and reminders and then have to confirm by calling the restaurant (what’s the point in using an online platform if I have to call the restaurant, surely they should call you as the client?) seems like a pointless booking system. Put another way, if the aim is to make it hard and time consuming then they are fast approaching success in this respect. Additionally frustrated that the restaurant was unable to accept or process the bill using an American Express card, especially strange as the restaurant was suggested by American Express’s Concierge team. Work to be done I’m afraid.

Admittedly a late evening booking on a wet and quiet evening, but as soon as the plates had been cleared, the noise began. Not the noise of people enjoying themselves, but a deliberate crash and bang of cutlery and furniture moving by particular member of staff who clearly felt we should leave. Having asked for the bill and paid a visit to the facilities, we found our belongings left by the back door. Indeed a very subtle hint! Being local I have spent many happy hours at Bar Baloud, but this was by far the worse experience I have ever had. Come on Mandarin sort it out. If you don't want your guests, don't open your doors!

We went to Bar Boulud not one but THREE times during our 12 day stay in London. We loved it, first because though the ambience is relaxed and casual, the food is not. The food is worthier of a much more stuffy kind of restaurant, haute cuisine. THE BEST ONION SOUP I ever ate; a plate of perfect madeleines for dessert; mussels that were all plump and perfectly cooked, without a cracked one in the bunch; and terrific burgers (our favorite was the Frenchy). A young and multilingual wait staff, quite efficient. We loved Bar Bolud and would recommend it to anyone going to London.

I went to this restaurant in Covent Garden with friends for dinner over the weekend, and we all loved the drinks—such a great selection. The vibe was amazing, especially the jazz music, which was so good that we got totally lost in it. If you’re looking for a place to chill on the weekend, this bar is definitely a must!

This is a grab-n-go sandwich shop at John Islip Street that is perfect if you want a reasonably priced, quickly prepared sandwich that you can take-away or eat at a nearby park while out and about in the Pimlico area of the city. Opening hours are 7am to 3.30pm (weekdays), 10am to 3pm (Sat), closed on Sunday. I stopped here midday, there was a bit of a queue but all moved rather fast. Place order at the counter and they will prepare your sandwich and have you on your way soon after. Tuna melt with lettuce and tomato was pretty good and reasonably priced. Would gladly stop by again based on this experience.

This feels like small family business and it's a great fit for breakfast and coffee. Food is great, people are pleasant, but it's unbelieveably tiny and it ruins the experience if you are knocking someone out constantly with your elbow while trying to eat. Just when you think the place is full and get kind of used to it - four people walk in and they are seated in the already non-existent space. Too bad...
