Outstanding family time at The Petersham. Service was attentive. The food recommendation was exceptional. The wine and cocktails recommendations were done so well. My mom had lovely time. Their terrace is so lovely with fresh flowers. You feel like you are in a small town somewhere in Italy. Will comeback soon for a glass of wine and small nibbles.

Myself and sister walked in around 19:00 for a quick bite however it turned out to be a proper feast. We had great recommendations which I will try to share. The Champagne Soutiran Grand Cru Signature was recommended by sommelier Valentin. Its delicate golden hue and fine effervescence immediately set the stage for an exceptional tasting experience. This Champagne turned to beautiful balance between freshness and complexity, with notes of ripe citrus, toasted brioche, and a subtle minerality that reflects its Grand Cru heritage. The creamy texture and refined finish make it a standout choice for pairing with gourmet cuisine. We were blown away by. The pairing with refined Italian dishes— such as started with bread and olive oil to open up appetite, followed by scallop with garlic paneer wow, baby potato and lettuce. The knock out was with super delicious desserts, pls see pictures. Loved it. The impeccable service, warm atmosphere, and the sommelier’s recommendation of this outstanding label made the evening truly memorable. A perfect combination of fine wine and exceptional dining! We will recommend and return!thank you team!

I enjoyed the vegetarian New Year’s Eve tasting menu. A lot of thought was put into each course which contained ingredients representing prosperity and luck in different countries. The dishes were delicious and filling, decor is beautiful and staff were attentive and friendly. Thanks for a wonderful dinner.

Incredible food, brilliant service. The food is inventive but not pretentious and each dish is composed spectacularly well in terms of the balance of flavours and textures. The staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The menu is *not* overpriced considering the calibre of the food and the standard of service.

1. Keep the shells on the clams and make sure the spaghetti vongole is salty enough 2. Don’t put chrysanthemums on the table they are connected with funerals 3. Sort out the acoustics it is cold and cavernous to mitigate reverb use wall hangings, false ceilings etc it will warm up the interior 4. Don’t serve a single scallop as a starter at least 3 for that price 5. If you want to play on your Italian heritage make sure your chefs understand Italian cooking Thank you

Would give the review six stars if I could. The food was genuinely outstanding: Would recommend the scallops starter and the lemon sole main - and don't miss out on the Cornish potatoes side-order; simply the best potatoes I've ever tasted. There were two sommeliers the night we were there and they both picked some great wines (and without the "let's go for the most expensive thing on the menu" agenda). The service was similarly exceptional; attentive and prompt, but relaxed. The venue itself is lovely. An all-round flawless experience.

for anyone thinking of getting afternoon tea at petersham, i strongly urge you to look elsewhere. the service was strange to say the least: i had called them on the day to confirm our dietary restrictions, instead they insisted they had called me multiple times to check with no answer from me. That was untrue. But still, they said they could cater to us (lactose free and vegetarian) so it was no issue. When we arrived, we once again confirmed at reception, and even with the waiter, and they agreed. However, once the food started arriving, we found that they could not cater for lactose free at all. This is very strange as they even have a vegan menu as an option. So we spoke to the manager who said it was because we confirmed the restrictions so last minute - and that they called multiple times and we did not reach out to them, when i had in fact confirmed earlier in the morning. He even insisted i did not call them up. In the end, we made do with the menu, resigned to make do with what we had. As for the food, it was really average and not the standard you even get from most cafes in london even. it was not worth £60. Overall, we found the service staff to be either completely clueless or arrogant - quick to blame us and assume we did wrong. I am also not sure what they were so arrogant about, as the food was nothing to be proud of. (to top it all off - we booked this to celebrate my partner’s birthday. they clearly did not check the booking details which already had all this laid out w dietary preferences, and it added a sour note to our day). I am appalled that such an establishment exists.

Unfortunately the service was very misguided. This establishment is not accommodative. We called them on the phone to confirm there were dairy free options, and on the phone, they agreed. However, when we arrived, they said no such call occurred and ultimately gave us the regular option. Even worse, they mentioned they had called us to confirm beforehand, but we received no such calls. Afternoon tea food was okay but not worth the £60 price.

Disappointed with the food portion and even the staff agreed, and encouraged us to write about it as it is a common complaint apparently. Husband and I had a starter each and main course and one large pot of tea ( £ 130.00 !!) and were still hungry. We are not big built persons ( just 60kg and 72kg) so Cannot imagine what larger persons would say at the portion size. And at those prices! Moreover, we asked if we could finish with scones and tea and shockingly ( in London🙄) they don’t have scones on their menu as their Afternoon tea is Italian style . DONT BOTHER and don’t be influenced by Reels on social Media like I did 👎 P.s 2 slices of bread +2 finger size focaccia , cold= £8 🤯

I was so looking to go to this Petersham on Covent Garden as I thoroughly enjoyed their ‘sister’ outlet, Richmond. Apart from the decor & location it didn’t compete at all. We sat outside on a beautiful English summers day. It was far from busy and the service was not good. Plates were taken away before we finished eating. An absolute no no & the service was SLOW. I had burrata as entree. The tomatoes were tasteless. Followed by fish, again my dish was bland. I wouldn’t return.

It is always easier to complaint about a service, rather than sharing a compliment. After reading a number of less-than-stellar reviews online, my partner and I were initially hesitant to book a table at The Petersham Floral Court. However, our experience turned out to be nothing short of extraordinary, and I feel compelled to share our delightful encounter. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was enchanting. The staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and attentiveness that set the tone for the evening. The highlight of our visit was, without a doubt, the meal. Every course was a delightful surprise, bursting with creativity and flavor. The seared sea bass with broad beans was sensational, the rib-eye melted in our mouths, and the grilled nectarines with sorbet was a decadent yet guilt-free finish. It’s clear the chef poured their heart into every dish! The wine pairings were spot-on, perfectly enhancing every aspect of the dining experience. We had the pleasure of trying the Livio Felluga Rosazzo Terre Alte 2021, which was exceptional. While we had our reservations based on previous reviews, we found every aspect of our evening to be exemplary. It’s possible that previous experiences might have been influenced by different factors, but our visit was flawless. We left with full stomachs and even fuller hearts, already planning our next visit. If you’re considering dining at The Petersham Floral Court, I highly recommend you give it a chance. It’s clear that the team is dedicated to providing an outstanding experience, and our evening was nothing short of magical.

I had been gifted a voucher for my birthday to dine at this restaurant. We had Muhammed as our main waiter and he was absolutely lovely. Very attentive, kind and accommodating. However, that is where our positive experience started and ended. During the course of our meal, even though Muhammed was our main waiter. The other staff felt it was their need to constantly approach us if we were OK, if we needed anything, move our cutlery to a different position, asked what we thought of the food whilst eating. The constant interruptions and the staff hovering around us turned our experience into a negative one. Once we came to pay our bill, I had already given the voucher to our waiter at the start of the meal, which he accepted no issues. However, I could already see there was issue with perhaps a manager and could see they were talking about us, which made me feel very uncomfortable. The food was good, the venue was lovely. However, I very much doubt I will be back due to the service and overall ambience. It was not a relaxing birthday meal at all.

Good food well prepared but overpriced as was the wine. Service felt over professional and not very natural. One member of staff corrected me when I questioned an item description on the menu and when the menu showed that what I’d said was correct the server turned on their heel with a remark I couldn’t quite hear. Atmosphere very flat, not busy at all. Strange decor and fit out that in my opinion doesn’t really work in Covent Garden. We shared 3 starters and 1 main. Had 2 puds and a cheap bottle of wine and the damage was £250 including a whopping 15% service charge. We won’t be going back. Shame as the food was good.

To be completely honest I am not sure what I expected however I went for a baby shower and personally this would not be my pick because the afternoon tea is very much overrated it is overly priced for what it is (£55pp with a glass of Prosecco) and I understand that this is a fancy restaurant in central London which is why I thought the quality of the food would be good. The sandwiches were plain, the little pizzas were literally just a puff pastry with the tiniest amount of toppings and the deserts had no taste and looked quite cheap. Personally I think that the afternoon tea in general is a bit of a waste of money but if it’s good food then you would at least enjoy that but this place I would not recommend at all. The service was ok and the atmosphere is nice and it is beautifully served but the food quality could for sure improve.

Our dining experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. We began with an incredible asparagus risotto and a fresh tuna tartar. The vegetable tempura in delicate pastry with a sublime sauce was equally delightful. Apologies for the lack of photos – we were so eager to dive in that everything was devoured immediately. The risotto was especially noteworthy, with flavors that melted in the mouth. We also enjoyed perfectly cooked calamari and fish. Each course was paired with outstanding beverages, thanks to the expertise of sommelier Valentin. Not sure what to start with, I entrusted him to prepare a refreshing cocktail, which was spot-on. This was followed by a superb red wine and concluded with a fabulous espresso martini, all perfectly complementing our meal. The desserts – tiramisu and chocolate mousse – were the perfect finale to our feast. This restaurant is a must-visit for its exquisite dishes and impeccable service.

We went for the afternoon tea. The restaurant is beautiful inside, and the food was delicious - particularly the sandwiches. However, I had confirmed over the phone, when we arrived, and when I was given a menu that I was vegetarian and would want the vegetarian option. I was brought over the usual option with meat/fish. I did mention it and they brought the correct platter, but I easily could have tucked in without realising. This would be upsetting as is, but the other time we dined at Petersham Covent Garden the same thing happened! We’d confirmed that everything we’d ordered was vegetarian, but instead was brought mackerel croquettes which we bit into mistaking them for the aubergine croquettes we’d ordered. So 2/2 times we’ve dined with Petersham, our dietary requests were ignored and we were served food we cannot eat. We will not be dining here again as although the food is delicious, we now have 0 confidence that our dietary needs will be respected.

Gorgeous atmosphere, beautiful furnishings but that’s about the nicest thing I can say about this restaurant. Food is fine, but nothing special. Service is pretty substandard considering the location and cost of this restaurant. No coat check was offered, and the second waiter I asked hadn’t a clue (he asked if i wanted to put my coat in a locker??). Bread was asked for thrice and ignored/forgotten, service was slow and unsmiling. We almost missed our show due to the snails pace service. Also total misrepresentation of the menu: their apple “millefoglie” is actually an apple crumble.

Incredibile Saturday lunch meal with my wife and my 2 daughters (9 and 14). We were welcomed by a very smiley and attentive staff, seated in one of the beautiful glass tables with fresh flowers. We tasted the dishes from the new menù and were extremely pleasing and well presented. Starters: Risotto with cheese and pear - stunning Beef tartare - super tasty The Petersham chips - a treat! well seasoned Beetroot salad - colourful, fresh Mains: Ossobuco agnolotti - beautifully presented and tasty version of the original Ossobuco Beef short rib - luxurious taste and perfectly cooked. Fettuccine alla Lorenzo - well done Lorenzo that plate was fantastic in its simplicity, well balanced and super tasty. The meal was superb also thanks to very knowledgeable sommelier that suggested an incredible Sicilian wine and The manager Giuseppe super professional, assisting all tables and smiling at all times made sure we had had a wonderful time especially for our youngest daughter. Grazie! 🙏

I can get a Tesco meal deal with more flavour for ten times cheaper. No effort was put into the food, literally. Our first two courses were salad, no cooking just raw vegetables both made with no more than a handful of ingredients, I could literally make this at home and furthermore just putting some sort of salad dressing would have made it tastier. I was forcing myself to eat the initial courses because I felt embarrassed leaving plates unfinished, by the 5th course I didn’t even bother with more than two bites. And yet at no point did the staff ask why I wasn’t finishing my food!! They did not ask because they knew the food was awful, I saw the table nearby complaining and quite clearly I hear the waiter/manager say “the food is awful” (but in more colourful words). Then at the end in comical style the waiter asks us why we are taking the discretionary service charge off, stating our issue was with the food not the service… if anyone bothers to read this I would like your judgment on whether I should’ve paid the charge! I’ve only told you the tip of the iceberg but hoping people read this so they save their money. The food was so bad compared to how much we paid, my only conclusion is that this is a money laundering scheme and they are faking reviews (a joke… I hope.)

This was the most delicious meal I've eaten in a very long time. The food, the wine (we had the pairing option with our food choices), the staff and the whole atmosphere was second to none. I cannot recommend the Petersham enough. It was a highlight from my visit to London.

The restaurant is beautiful even before you enter, because the plants at Christmas were decorated with lights that made it look so romantic and charming. Inside the restaurant, many flowers, very pleasant atmosphere, I recommend the cranberry juice, it is organic and it is a delight. For dinner we ordered "Fillet of Haye farm beef" I recommend it!!! It is a delight and although it is not very large it is enough to satisfy you. For dessert I ordered the tiramisu, it is a somewhat different but exquisite version for me. If one day I return I hope to return to that restaurant too, for me it is totally worth it.

We had a fantastic time on Saturday having afternoon tea! We were welcomed to our table and a waiter came to explain the types of afternoon tea available. We loved all the fresh flowers around the restaurant. The courtyard entrance felt like we were in another country! Our pear Bellini’s came and were delicious! The food came on a glass tower with a bunch of spring flowers. It was beautifully presented! The food was fresh and we loved it!! From the hustle of Covent Garden, we felt like we were whisked to another place!!

Our starter's were luke warm, my pasta with mushrooms was nice but luke warm, my husband had the most start awful dish no favour. Mains were nice, portion size good, wine over priced and not even correct measures. Staff lovely, venue very nice just let down by over priced food.

Absolutely amazing experience for a group of 9 of us. We had the tasting menu with wine pairing and the food was exceptional, well catered to everyone's dietary needs. The staff were so attentive, well informed and a pleasure to engage with - especially Giuseppe. Would highly recommend!

My friends & I had a lovely and most enjoyable visit to The Petersham Restaurant yesterday. Beautifully located in a little courtyard in bustling Covent Garden. Stunning restaurant, beautifully decorated with flowers & Festive decor. A very mouthwatering menu was offered and the food was fantastic. I had saddle of lamb with vegetables, followed by profiteroles. I would have awarded 5 stars but the portions were small, especially considering the prices (£39 for the main meal.) Lovely choice of restaurant for a special occasion.

Beautiful ambiance, gracious & attentive service, thoughtful wine pairings, and the most incredible & savory onion soup with fontina I’ve ever experienced in my life! Have already recommended to friends and will definitely return on my next visit from the States. Thank you so much for a delightful evening!

The food was very good but wasn't inspiring or creative. The service was efficient but not personable or friendly (with one exception). The food is expensive for what it is, but the location and ambience is excellent and, given that, I would probably recommend their other restaurant in Floral Court, La Goccia, over this one.

Phenomenally good! The service was beyond perfect. I have never seen such teamwork before and Nadia was a delight to chat with. The food is unforgettable! Stop by this place when visiting Covent Gardens, you won't regret it.

The £15 unlimited tapas is almost too good to be true! There is a 90 minute limit and we could "only" order 3 tapas per 2 persons per round so we thought we wouldn't get enough - we were wrong! The restaurant was full and busy, yet our food came out relatively quick! Overall the food was great. Best - lemon chipotle Gambas (prawns) and crispy calamares & sweet chilli popcorn squid. Worst - crispy hot honey chicken tacos and Brazilian fried chicken, both too dry. By round 3 we were absolutely defeated so we only got one churros each to finish the meal off! Shout out to our server James - 10/10 service.

We were very well received. We found a table to be comfortable with a baby. We thank Viyana very much for her kindness and for making us a whole plate again at no extra cost because my sister gave her baby something to drink and it was cold! Thank you very much we will come back.
