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.

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

Private club dedicated mainly to the Armed Forces located in central London. A sophisticated atmosphere, quality, courtesy, elegant furnishings with an antique flavor and friendly staff make this place a precious environment for members and their guests. There is also an internal courtyard where in summer you can stay outdoors eating and drinking with your guests or friends. The Club also has a wonderful library, with many volumes relating to military history. If you have the chance, stop by even just for a drink. Very easy access, as it is right in the center of London.

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.

15th Birthday lunch set was super valuable! Rump steak was tender and juice, the Marmite hollandaise was like a mixture of egg yolk and mayonnaise and suitable with steak and salad. The potatoes with sour cream in staters also tasted great. Lunch set is definitely recommended!

This place is slightly gimmicky and targeted at tourists. Drinks had a wait time of 25 minutes which is ridiculous when you only have a table for 1.5 hrs, oven was also broken so no nibbles. Poor quality vs other Mr Foggs I’ve been to

Came here for a preprandial drink before going to the Grill restaurant. It's a great bar with superb staff - exactly what you would expect from the Savoy.

I had booked out a private room (the Love Room) for my sister's hen do. The email correspondence was really efficient and clear throughout the booking process, and when I had to email updates on people dropping out and orders, it seemed no hassle. There were a few special dietary requirements in the party and Brigit's catered for all of these including gluten-free and Halal (not all places I researched would do this). A few of us were able to go down to the room about half an hour before our booking slot to set up, which I was really grateful for. The tables had already been set up with teacups and pink serviettes and it all looked very pretty. We were able to hang some bunting up and place props and quizzes on the chairs and a photo frame on the table. We were only asked that we did not use any confetti which was perfectly reasonable. The service throughout our stay was really good, and they checked when we wanted our scones to come out which was good as it allowed us 15 minutes to play the quizzes without any interruptions. Even though our booking was 1-3pm, we ended up being there until 3:30pm so there was no rush or urgency in getting us out which was appreciated. There was not much additional decor required as the decor was already so pretty - perfect hen do girly vibes. Everyone really enjoyed their afternoon teas and commented about how lovely the bakery was. We had toilets just round the corner from our room which was also very convenient and we felt we had complete privacy away from the other rooms. Once everyone had arrived the staff brought us all a glass of orange juice which was a nice touch while we settled in, and then came back to take our hot drink orders. A few of us had a glass of prosecco which followed. I thought the selection of sandwiches and cakes was really good and it was all very filling - I was glad the scones weren't any bigger so I could finish mine! Most of us took some cakes home in a takeaway pink box - it was great that they accommodated this. All in all I thought the afternoon teas were good value for money and I would definitely recommend booking out the Love Room for a hen do! It ended up being perfect for what we had envisaged. We had 13 people (originally meant to be 15) and the room accommodated us all nicely and we essentially had one long table. We had a handy chair tucked away in the corner as well for everyone to leave their coats and bags. We were able to take lots of nice and aesthetic photos during our stay thanks to the lovely, girly decor. This included the main door outside to the street before we went inside - there was a Valentine's flower arch which was beautiful and we took photos of the bride-to-be here. Thank you Brigit's Bakery for having us all for the special occasion and I will definitely be back for an afternoon tea at some point and will consider doing one of the bus tours in future!

Such pleasant surroundings. Friendly and accommodating staff
