Jubilee Market, Tavistock Street, England
On a quiet street in the heart of Covent gardens! Really love outdoor area that it heated for colder nights. The staff are so lovely and helped in picking dishes. Everything we got was super tasty and a large menu to pick from. Has something for everyone!

2-4 Garrick Street, EnglandHave visited and recommended Com Viet multiple times, however will not be returning after last night. One employee made very inappropriate weight and racial “jokes” targeting the females of the group. I asked for the bill so we could leave, and he told me to smile with my teeth. The other staff were great - just one employee made our family reunion dinner a weirdly uncomfortable experience.

Corner of Jermyn Street and Duke Street St. James's, London SW1 6DN England, EnglandBeef Wellington. If you want to try a dish that comes from this area, this is the place to go. Wonderful atmosphere, presentation of the dish itself, and most importantly, the taste is phenomenal. The meat is so tender it melts. Please note, it is only served for dinner, not lunch!

181 Piccadilly, EnglandNot the wine bar but the secret Crypt at Fortnum & Mason: A Private Dining Experience Worth Its Weight in Gold Leaf There are certain dining experiences that stick with you—not just for the food or the service, but for the sheer sense of occasion. The Crypt at Fortnum & Mason is one of them. If you’re looking for something a little more special than the usual hushed fine dining or predictable steak-and-claret affair, this is it. It’s intimate, exclusive, and ever so slightly surreal. Firstly, getting there is part of the magic. You’re led—quite ceremoniously—through the famous Fortnum & Mason shop, past the well-heeled shoppers fondling tins of truffled almonds and debating whether their loose-leaf oolong should be single estate. Then, at the back of the wine department, through an inconspicuous doorway, you descend into another world. The Crypt itself is pure old-school charm: all dim lighting, wine bottles lining the walls, heavy wooden tables, and grand old paintings that make you feel like Henry VIII might pop by for a goblet of something robust. It’s the kind of place where whispered conspiracies seem likely, but instead, we were there to celebrate a good friend’s 50th—eight of us, tucked away with our own playlist, our own space, and absolutely no need to worry about disturbing anyone else. And then there’s the food. This isn’t a set menu affair, but a carefully handpicked selection—tailored, considered, personal. Each course arrived with the kind of effortless grace that only the best service teams can deliver: attentive but never intrusive, knowledgeable but never patronising. Wines were paired with precision, reinforcing Fortnum’s reputation as the grand old dame of London’s luxury food scene. Three glorious hours passed in a haze of good conversation, clinking glasses, and that rare sense of truly unhurried dining. But the pièce de résistance? At the end of the night, we were escorted through the now-empty shop, past the glittering counters and silent shelves, like something out of Night at the Museum. It was a little bit magical, a little bit cinematic, and entirely unforgettable. Yes, it’s expensive. But then, some things should be. If you’re looking to truly spoil someone—or just remind yourself what dining should feel like—The Crypt is as special as they come.
