The best restaurants in London

Estaba en el centro de diseño de negocios y busqué un restaurante local. Las críticas no fueron erróneas. La comida era deliciosa. Tuvimos el menú de almuerzo establecido, que era muy bueno.

Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

This has been one of my favourite restaurants. I arrived today at 2.20, they do not close until 2.30 . They refused to serve me because they were closed. They have lost a regular customer.

The tastiest French toast! The eggs pastrami are insane too! The atmosphere is lovely and the service is friendly, definitely worth the wait.

Rita was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and always cheerful. The anime-themed atmosphere was unique and enjoyable. She made our ramen even more delightful. Highly recommend!

Very very small portions. Especially chilli paneer at £9.40. Regular customer but very over ĺpriced now . Unfortunately won't be visiting again

The vegan wrap is so delicious, this is my third time coming to here and I would continue to eat here. When I am writing this review I am enjoying the chips, so glad to choose here as the lunch place!

Best cocktail bar we’ve been to Kensington! Laszlo proudly pours classics with a twist and big smile. His old Tyme fashion was next level!! Adrish serves with a smile and engaging nature that is fun but not intrusive. We had a lovely time and highly recommend!!.

The food is really good here. Stopped by after visiting Rollernation and had the chicken burgers and shakes. Everyone loved their meal. And the staff are really nice too.

La comida y los precios eran fantásticos. Mejor Bacon Inglés que he probado. El propietario es un hablador y muy hospitalario. Una amplia gama de comida, desde espaguetis a inglés completo e irlandés a café turco y pastelería. Incluso si no me quedo cerca de este restaurante en futuros viajes, trataré de buscarlo.

I'm visiting the bar for a important meeting and the manager Panos with Diyana in the ot was a amazing friendly and hospitable. I will come back definitely

Very friendly and very tasty food

My third time time doing the tour and I would recommend to anyone. It’s a fab atmosphere with amazing food and drinks. Staff are very friendly, JR and Keri made us feel very welcome and looked after us well

We love coming to The Orpington! We moved to the area this year and happened to discover this little cafe within a couple weeks of moving. We were so happy to find such a cosy and welcoming place with such delicious food. There’s a great selection on the menu and we’ve since come back to enjoy several breakfasts, lunches, coffees and dinners here! We recently visited for a Christmas meal and had their Christmas set menu. We had such a lovely evening and both the food and service were brilliant! The food and service were excellent and all of the attention to detail they put into our meal made for a really special evening. Thank you very much!

Sunday 1st December 2024 Whenever I am back in my home town; Beckenham, I do try to pop into here, it hasn't disappointed. Had the carrot cake today - delicious 😋 Good service with a smile - even when busy! Thank you team!
