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

Enjoyed a lovely recital last minute. Beautiful church.

We were off to see Dr.Strangelove at the nearby Noel Coward Theatre, The Real Greek is just across the street. We were going to a matinee performance, so this was ideal for a spot of lunch. We had the souvlakis, one pork, one chicken - both very good. Tasty and light. The star of the show however was the Baklava for dessert. A sweet triumph ! Delicious. Good service, all in all, recommended.

Had the pre-theatre set menu with my mum for her 70th birthday. It was perfect! The staff were friendly, the portion size was spot on, the food was super tasty. And they gave my mum a birthday plate with happy birthday in chocolate and a candle. It just made it extra special! My mum had a wonderful time and really felt they made an effort to make her feel special on her birthday!

We had planned to go there last week but got there yesterday. They were fully booked except for an outside seat which we were pleased to take. I had a nice large g&t and ordered a mango, avocado and prawn starter. My gf ordered calamari. All food arrived very promptly but unfortunately the calamari had peppers on which had to be returned and a replacement arrived quickly. Both starters were lovely and easy on the eye. For main course I had the chicken the mash and my gf had the burger which she’d asked without sauce and onions. Yep, that had to be sent back but was replaced quickly. All lovely. We finished with a latte and a most incredible cheesecake set in an edible flowerpot with chocolate that looked like soil. It was a dream. It started to get cold hence my 3 star rating for atmosphere as we were outside. We had a blue light card so got a discount. The bill inc service came to £62. A really lovely experience and we shall return. Highly recommended.

I visited Machiya for the first time after a recommendation from a Japanese friend. I had the Kara-age, the Tonkatsu with rice and the Matcha Fondant. Having lived in Japan, I found everything I ordered to be authentic. The Kara-age was nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The Tonkatsu was delicious and definitely comparable to what I had in Japan. The Matcha Fondant was also very good. You can really taste the matcha and I definitely recommend it if you have a sweet tooth. The service was also very good. The dishes I ordered were served quickly and despite being very busy, the manager and young Japanese woman who served me were friendly, polite and very responsive. The young woman even made time to chat to me in Japanese (although her English was excellent based on hearing her speak to other customers). Machiya is a fairly small restaurant and was very busy even for a weekday and so I do recommend making a reservation if possible. I should also point out all the seating is stools and they do not have booths. However, they were accomodating to my needs and gave me a table where I could lean against the wall. In summary, I had a very good dining experience at Machiya and I would definitely recommend a visit if you fancy authentic Japanese food combined with very good customer service.

Food prepared well with great flavours, cheerful and helpful staff. Will return when in the area.

We recently had a team dinner at The Ivy in Victoria and I have to say, the service we recieved by Ana was incredible. She was attentive, super lovely and really took care of us. Service in restaurants really goes a long way these days and someone like Ana makes you want to go back! Thank you Ana.. and hopefully will see you soon! ❤️

The food is good and fresh, very good value for money. The rice is not "tight" enough and the sushi/makis fall apart when they touch 3 drops of soy sauce There is plenty of room to sit The atmosphere and staff could be warmer

I am surprised to see not many reviews on this place. We spend a half a day at F&M visiting all the floors of food and drinks. At the end we had a bite to eat at this area. Service was good and food tasted yummy. Obviously food here is not cheap. We visited this place last summer. Drop down box is not letting me select beyond December 2019.

Went with friends at the week end. Best cake I've ever had . At £13 a slice & £7 for a single shot of expresso, I'll be having to save up before i visit again. 🤑🙄🫢. £7 for a shot of expresso. Wow . Better to have a cup at the Corinthian or Claridges!!!

This place is great if you enjoy paying £30+ to watch someone pull a bottle of gin from the freezer, pour it directly into a cocktail glass and call it a martini

Friendly and helpful staff, delicious food and fast service

One of my favorite restaurants in London. Excellent food. The staff is all Italian and extremely gracious. The pasta dishes are some of the best I have ever had. The meats are excellent. Entertainers excellent.

A truly memorable occasion from start to finish. My friend and I were treated like royalty nothing was too much trouble and the food, service and atmosphere was second to none beautifully cooked and delivered will definitely be going again

A reliable Korean 🇰🇷BBQ in Chinatown, the service is very good, a bit crowded but acceptable. The quality of the meat is very good. Other side dishes are also pretty good.
