The best restaurants in City of London, Westminster London

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.

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

A really delightful evening ... food was delicious; wine pairing was delicious ... all made even better by Lucy and her team who made us feel as if we were the only guests on the boat!! Thank you!!

We had a lovely experience, the staff were very attentive and the food was incredible. Would definitely recommend to a friend

Deliciosas porquerías servidas por personal aún más increíble. Gran ubicación y servicio. El lugar parece organizado y limpio, buena relación calidad-precio.

Un pequeño establecimiento brillante descubierto al final de una pequeña excursión turística a Londres. Personal excelente y amable, muy bien informado en su oficio. Una buena selección de bebidas para adaptarse a muchas paletas. Perfecto speakeasy para pasar con amigos con unas copas. Es muy fácil pasar tiempo aquí.

honestly great food, tried many in and around tooting and this was my best so far. definitely being eating feom there again.

A M A Z I N G lunch with my family! Great time and excellent food! My new favorite place in lindon! The chorizo burger come from another planet

Upscale restaurant with a Michelin star described as “modern Indian”. Food is expertly and delicately spiced. Every dish is exceptional, from mains to dall, naan and rice. Every dish is taken to another level.

I visited the restaurant and was helped to order by Aisha. She was so helpful and provided very good costumer service. Really enjoyed the service.

Stilfult lokale og oppmerksomt dyktig personale. Hadde behov for glutenfri servering, noe som ikke var noe problem. Prisen var litt høy, men verdt opplevelsen.

Personal increíblemente amable y comida fabulosa. Fuimos aquí para un té de la tarde y nos dejó impresionado por la calidad de la comida y la hospitalidad amable - definido recomendar

Food was amazing. There is lot of variety of food and Renu provided good service. Restaurant look is appealing.

Byłem tu z przyjaciółmi i każdemu bardzo smakowało. Świetne, soczyste i chrupiące kotlety, smaczne dodatki i przemiła obsługa. Polecam każdemu :)
