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

Had an enjoyable evening and some great dishes on the tasting menu. So what I write here may seem picky. But...we paid over £400 per head (including wine - and non-alcohol - drink pairings). I've been fortunate to eat in a number of Michelin starred places and this isn't at that level IMO. Restaurant is nicely located, very nicely presented and the staff were generally great. The sommelier seemed like they'd had a bad day and not especially inspiring. And I know I'm getting old when one stand-out thought was how many were wearing clothes that didn't fit! The food, which is what we came for, was a mixed bag. None of it was "bad", definitely need to underscore that. Clearly significant skill involved in all of it, which is one box ticked. Nothing worse than visiting a top end restaurant only to think you could prepare the food at home! And there were some stand out dishes. The mackerel/lime/sorrel was a flavour punch, and the sea bream/black radish/perilla was both full of flavour and delicate all at the same time. Definitely my favourite dish. I'd also note the Eastwood cheese/bakewell dish was nice too, but a £15 supplement was a bit cheeky in retrospect (we knew it was a supplement beforehand). Bread and chicken butter was nice (parfait technically well executed)... Others were OK - damning with faint praise at this level really. Earth was a mushroom dish that was nicely executed, Quail pt 2 nice enough and I liked the Final Sweets but reception was mixed around the table (eating all components together made the most of it IMO). A number of others were nice ideas, but missed the mark in key places. Cheese/caviar had nice flavour but the texture wasn't right. Too chewy - pitched a "doughnut", I'd take a doughnut back if it cost 50p from a supermarket and chewed as this did. The chicken sandwich was pretty bland flavour-wise and the texture was on the edge of OK. Flavour was also lacking in the beef/trout/leek dish and the rhubarb/custard (the main flavour of which was the orange cake - didn't mind that, but the menu advertised rhubarb and custard, which I love, and that was nowhere. And a couple technically missed the mark. Cod/fennel/green chili had a small piece of cod that was overcooked - marginally, but overcooked. And whilst the taste was lovely, it wasn't fennel/green chilli. And Quail pt1 was a couple of small pasta parcels, the pasta for which was too thick and the stuffing very solid. Being greedy it's not often the texture of a piece of food detracts from the flavour (if it's there) for me. But this did. Wine pairings were generally very good according to my dinner mates. I was driving so tried the non-alcohol pairings for the first time ever. I probably won't again. Some nice liquids that I wouldn't have thought to try, but some not that great (I should have asked for a list of what they were in advance...perhaps that should just have been offered ;)). There's a lot to like about this restaurant, but with its awards and price point it's operating at a serious level and missed the mark for me, so couldn't recommend it on the basis of this visit.

Hombre grande en la puerta para mantener la rifa - rifa fuera, pero todavía tenemos en! Gran ambiente, personal de primera categoría, y muy buenas bebidas, todo para pasar la noche aquí. .

siempre una buena elección de opciones que te hacen sentir lleno. El único inconveniente es que se forman colas cuando se llena

Just had a fabulous lunch in the newly refurbished RSA coffee house. Aubergine, kimichi and vegan mayo salad. Loads of good pastries if you want something sweet or the have a delicious cheese toastie. Nice calming atmosphere despite most people working or having meetings.

Este debe ser uno de los mejores (más elegantes) lugares de Londres. Señoras permitidas en la mayoría de las veces. Ni siquiera te molestes en preguntar si la comida es buena. Está fuera de este mundo.

Popped in here for a quick drink. Lovely ambience and cosy atmosphere. Good for a stop off - nice staff.

Service is exceptional, fish is also exceptional, truly one of the best, if not the best fish dishes I have ever had, that is including fish dishes at Alan Ducasse which is three Michelin stars and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay which is two stars. How this place doesn’t have a star is quite surprising. The only very slight let down is the beef/ meat offering, not really on par with the fish and although good, nothing to shout about. Ambiance is great too and good wine menu.

Brilliant. Full 3 course meal, everything was brilliant. The service was great as well. Cannot find a single fault with it.

Situado en Pall Mall, a 5 minutos a pie de la plaza Trafalgar. Este es un club y edificio icónico de Londres, asistió a una cena en uno de los restaurantes con un amigo miembro. Código de vestimenta a observar (verifique con anticipación dependiendo de qué bar / restaurante) . Fantásticos recuerdos de automovilismo / carreras en todo el club imma últimamente mantenido. El servicio en bares y restaurante fue excelente fue la calidad de la comida. Gran y memorable experiencia clásica británica/londinense.

Un gran grupo de nosotros disfrutamos de la buena comida aquí temprano en la noche. La comida era del alto nivel habitual, y disfrutamos de un gran servicio y vinos finos. Siempre, servicio con una sonrisa.

Always the best steak, great service, and we likes also the atmosfere. It Is the second time here and we Will be back soon. Really a fantastic Place to try Absolutetly

Excellent cocktails, amazing theme.

A cocktail stop worthy of its heritage, I say, as someone who cut his cocktail teeth on Jerry Thomas, the Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book, and the Savoy Cocktail Book. Still innovating, with a third of its signature cocktails being offered in both non-alcoholic and traditional versions, modern techniques like fat-washing spirits, and the clearest ice I’ve seen in my life. Lovely place to rest and refresh from a day on the town!

Excellent food, very reasonable prices. We wandered in looking for a quick bite and were very happy with our choice. Highly recommend.

The food was incredible and the service was second to none. A must visit when in London
