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

Good place to grab a coffee and a quick bite.

I have been to the San Miguel bar many times, with lovely Spanish Ibiza vibes. On this visit, the bar was playing awful reggae grunge music. This is not a Red Stripe bar, it's a Spanish San Miguel bar. I will not go again unless the bar goes back to a San Miguel bar.

The only good part was the desserts the sandwiches was stodgy due to damp bread and not only was the bread stodgy it was also stale the prawn sandwich was absolutely disgusting and gave my mum severe food poisoning ( we know it was this because this was the only thing she ate that i did not ) we was told by the waiter that it's a customer favourite how I don't know as it's vile and should be taken off the menu . although the staff were perfectly pleasant we felt as though we couldn't go 5 minutes without a member of staff coming over to our table there was a couple of instances where a staff member came over while either my mum and I had food in our mouths and would just stand there untill we had finahed and the reason being they wanted to know if we needed anything when we clearly didnt we both had the joy cocktail and found that the gin over powered every other flavour the scones were far too crumbly and dry one actually broke apart as I picked it up the desserts were nice and the flavours complimented each other nicely however it would be nice if there was one dessert each as we had to share which we didn't mind to much as niether one of us eat alot however we both left feeling hungry and had go get food later in the day when normally after afternoon we wouldn't have to get extra food after honestly this was such a disappointment and so not wroth £140

11p on a Tuesday and, as three hotel guests, we got turned away because it was ‘full.’ Funny, there was enough space to host a whole football team, but apparently the waiter wasn’t feeling it. Pretty disappointing.

It's great to have a coffee shop in the middle of a bookstore, especially if you are a mature student. Waterstones stocks a huge range of university books on a wide variety of subjects. You can browse, buy and relax over coffee and cake, or a sandwich and read your book. Or just watch the world flowing by.

We have frequented this cafe many times over the years. Though in the last 2 years less so. The menu is repetitive and sometimes not to appetising. On 18th Aug we tried again. The chips looked burnt (though were told they were fresh) very hard and crispy. The fish itself was beautiful, though the batter very heavy and soggy. I don't think we'll visit again for a long time.

Located on district/circle line westbound platform so within the tube station. Quick service and has what you need for a commute

Je recommande à 100%. Le concept est innovant, le repas était délicieux et le personnel très aimable. Nous avons passé une très belle soirée et nous reviendrons.

Very loud downstairs. Advises food and loos upstairs but there was a much quieter seating area upstairs.

A great selection of Belgian beers without the need to cross the border :)

A place to go if you're near Covent Garden Garden!! A good selection of beers, including London Pride as well as friendly staff. A nice design with lots of old pictures of things such as sports etc.

Good but not as good as it should be for the price. The service and desserts really don’t live up to expectations. The piano player when you enter is amazing and the decor is so classy. The service was very sporadic for us. Our server disappeared completely for 20 minutes. Our water and teapots were all empty. I saw the mini scone my gluten-eating husband was served- the same one for 1£ in the bottom grocery floor of the store- umm we paid a lot to get that tiny scone. The people on either side of us were complaining about things to the staff- one lady requested a black cloth napkin since she didn’t want white lint on her black pants but they couldn’t find any. At the other table a lady sent back food for her vegetarian sister and was dissastisfied. I’m celiac and the food was ok- I enjoyed the sandwiches most, but the gf desserts were nothing special and overly sweet to where I couldn’t finish any. The gf scones were like bread, a bad texture. If you’re celiac, definitely go get cream tea at St. Ermin’s- great gf scones prepared in a separate gf kitchen! Cheaper too and beautiful chandeliers.

The food was so so so good, we will 100% be back

Chicken noodles were really good although chicken pieces in them could have been better cooked to suit the overall flavour. Sweet and sour chicken had weird smell. Chicken xia long bao were okayish.

Our fav ramen place in London. Innovative and yummy ramen, and excellent service. Their specials are also good. The cock scratchings are scrumptious, but don’t scratch your ducks afterwards.
