The best restaurants in St James's City of London, Westminster London

Four of us had a wonderful afternoon tea (with champagne) at St Ermin’s on 7th September. Everything was perfect, the tea lounge itself, the food, the tea and champagne, the beautiful crockery and especially the staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. We felt really spoilt with this experience. We have been before and we will certainly go again. Thank you St Ermine’s.

Awesome experience! The drinks were amazing and great staff! They were very accommodating during peak times. I recommend stopping by to try their cocktails.

One of my favorite ice cream shops in London. I usually get their more traditional flavours like pistachio or hazelnut, which I think are always good tests of a gelato place. Do they taste like real nuts, or like artificial flavoring? In La Gelatiera's case, they are unmistakably made from real nuts, and they're delicious. Also note that they have some dairy-free sorbets, suitable for vegans. If you are skeptical of dairy-free ice cream, try their chocolate sorbet. I guarantee it will change your mind. I have always found the service there friendly and helpful. Inevitably, on a warm summer's night, there can be a queue out the door, but it tends to move quickly.

Wow what service - went on a rainy afternoon and therefore received the best ever service. Sorry didn’t catch the name of the main server but his recommendations and knowledge was superb - at the end he said see you again soon to try x off the menu - what a touch. Decor is unreal as is location. This is fine dining so just bear that in mind when you get the bill. I really enjoyed the cuisine but I couldn’t say that for my partner who is new to Scandinavian food. I would recommend a visit for definite and thank you for the lovely touch for my birthday and the amuse bouche.

This hotel worked out great for our group! We had tea in the parlor and breakfast in the restaurant. We also had drinks at the bar and used the gym. The staff is amazing and the location is great!

Visited here with my sister. Previously I have always sat outside in the Summer but absolutely lived sitting inside on the stools watching the staff at work. Absolutely nothing went out until the chef had checked it. The service is friendly and efficient,your drinks constantly topped up and food is served when it's ready. We had the ham croquettes, pan con tomato, patatas bravas and seabream special, all delicious. My favourite place to go for lunch in London.

Came here for drinks on Saturday prior to going to the Savoy Grill. A very comfortable bar with friendly staff and a nice relaxed vibe. Decor is quite dark but it suits the bar, will definitely be back.

A bit on the expensive side, but very cozy and great food!

Wow wow 🤩 one of the best cookies 🍪 I have ever tasted. I have tasted cookies around the world 🌍 this is one of the best ever. 🥂👍❤️

We had a very pleasant evening, the food was delicious, ambience was so relaxing & the service was outstanding. The chef came to say hello to every table. We will be back here on our next trip.

Having a day in Covent Garden, heard good things about this place….. 1. Seats outside, it was a nice day 2. We ordered a mixed meze for starters, the hummus was full of flavour, the topping of spicy, curry, nuts was incredible. 3. I went for the dirty bab, it didn’t disappoint, full of melt in the mouth lamb, chips, chilies, salad, served with a small pot of amazing cheese sauce……… dirty 4. 16.50 for the kebab …. excellent 5. Good service,, doable prices for London, this place served one of the tastiest meals I can remember. 6. One to return to.

We loved it here - the food was fantastic. Super creative, but amazingly delicious. We loved all the vegetarian options too - when we can go somewhere and have a delicious vegetarian dinner and not feel like anything was compromised, it's truly special. Service was great too - everyone was super knowledgeable about the food, friendly, helpful and fun. And the atmosphere has life to it - was really great. Can't wait to go back - this is really changing the stereotype of boring English food!

I love the intimate space, lovely old school tableware, and obviously gorgeous food! They made it extra special for my friend’s birthday, both our waitresses were exceptional and the toasties are still the best toasties known to mankind and don’t miss the chips either!!!

Located within the Conrad Hotel, it is close to St James Park Underground station, with good transport links. As you would expect, the location is beautiful. It is clean, exceptionally well presented with a quiet sophisticated atmosphere. You cannot in any way find fault with the service, our waiters were friendly, attentive and very well presented. You were in no way pressured to finish your meal, the pace of the service being near perfect. The afternoon tea was exceptional, being visually well presented and more than enough for two people. The sandwiches, the cakes and the scones were fresh and delicious. If you like your teas, the selection is astounding! Along with the bottle of Bollinger Champagne this made for a very enjoyable afternoon. Not the cheapest, but as a treat second to none. You have to try it just once.
