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

Great beer, very disappointing food. Drinks: very good choice of beers, including their own brews. But no coffee/tea and very limited choice of soft drinks. Food: fish pie was tasteless with overcooked hard prawns and not very nice melted cheese on top. Fish and chips: haddock very small portion and way overcooked but the chips were nice. Didn't care much for the decor, overdone "shabby chic".

We went a few weeks ago with another couple for some lightish pre-theatre eats. We hadn't visited for a few years and it was as good as ever. The tapas were so scrumptious (carefully chosen ingredients in delicious combinations) that it ended up as more substantial than we intended. As before the staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. We highly recommend it. It's small so book a table particularly if it is pre-theatre. It is a delightful little bar if you just want a drink.

Good place for a quick sandwich.

Delicious Greek food in the historic center of London. Very caring staff.

They care about the money before the reservation

The afternoon tea is really a lovely experience. Unique location with great design. The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout, Abi in particular was super personable. The salty and sweet snacks were ok. Salty snacks are very natural and made with few spices. Sweet tarts were very very sweet. For me personally the sweet cakes were way too sweet. The tea was really good. All in all, a cool experience, but at a slightly higher price for the experience. Recommended for a special occasion.

Amazing restaurant....I really wish it would reopen Thank you

Booked for an early lunch with a friend and we were both underwhelmed. The good points….lovely buzzy atmosphere, great seeing the food prepared and pleasant service. However, some of the food felt distinctly undercooked - runny and soft e.g. piquillo with smoked eel (couldn’t taste any fish and was squidgy and not a pleasant texture), cuttlefish croquettes - they were cold inside and the filling mushy though the taste was ok, the tortilla was swimming in liquid….was it undercooked egg? Not very pleasant. The skate was overcooked on one side and it’s not a good look when the best thing you had was the pear salad. Based on our experience we decided we wouldn’t eat at Barrafina again.

Ieri siamo stati a mangiare da Ave Mario, l’esperienza in sé per sé è stata molto piacevole, cibo ottimo e servizio in sala come da aspettative. L’unica nota negativa per la quale siamo rimasti un po’ delusi è stata la ragazza (con gli occhiali) all’ingresso che è stata rude, quasi scocciata, al contrario del mood del ristorante. Per il resto consiglio vivamente questo locale per il cibo e per la cordialità del suo staff.

Very good and diverse place. Lots of items for a decent price.

Food felt a bit overpriced; key thing was that the expensive £4+ fizzy drinks were flat...

We enjoyed a pleasant lunch at Cote, chose combination of starters and sides. The cheese soufflé and broccoli garlic were particularly good. Nice selection of wines, chose a muskadet which was lovely. The staff were particularly helpful and pleasant.

Extremely overcrowded. The food we tried was god, but definitely over hyped

I recommend it, first-class and personalized attention

Just the best for breakfast seek kebabs & puri are amaaaazing 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
