The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in City of London, Westminster London

Awesome food and friendly, attentive service.

Really nice, quiet and typical place. The team is really kind et the food is gorgeous.

Meat eaters were pleased with their choices. But as a vegetarian this place is harder to enjoy. Incorrect bill (not in our favour) given first. But quickly rectified upon query. Still, this was unpleasant. The service is otherwise quick. Our waitress was nice and answered questions promptly.

Pricey but enjoyable cocktails. They had a 4 person bar seating area which was perfect for us and rare in London!

This is a recommended experience, but it comes with a warning. Why don't ordinary people go to extra posh hotels? Is it because they feel somewhat assaulted by the superior attitude they fear they will experience from the staff? We loved our time at the Dorchester Hotel Grill, but we had to learn the hard way that you need to be assertive, confident and persistent in order to get what YOU want, and not get charged for what THEY want you to have – 3 coffees and 2 waters - £52! Staff - The meeter-greeter was charismatic and knew our family name as we approached - impressive. She was personable, warm and effective. The first assault comes when a huge ice bucket with lots of champagne bottles in. This is wheeled across with great ceremony, and you were asked if you might like a glass. This is your first test of assertiveness. A polite man will ask the ladies and make £100 disappear very quickly. When I asked for the wine list instead, she looked disappointed - I don't know why, as plenty of the wines are priced at over £100. Then we are given the A la carte menu - and you have to be assertive again. You have to actively ask for the lunchtime menu. Irritating. Food - We went because we saw a YouTube review by Greeno - with three substantial courses. Be warned, the first course has changed and the two alternatives are less than overpowering. My companions had the burrata and salad, which came in a high sided bowl and was somewhat of a challenge to get started on with a knife and fork. Beautiful and complex visually, but a little bit bland in terms of taste. My onion confection was a little bizarre. I kid you not, it was a hollowed out onion filled with pieces of onion and the waitress poured around the side… an onion broth. I was hoping for something more French onion soup like, but this was more a the contemporary artist’s impression of the theme of the essence of an onion. The tiny bready cheesy bits on top were worth the first bite but then fell into the onion broth as they were balanced on top of the onion. It made me sad as I remembered all those lovely onion soups in Paris. The mains were an upgrade from the starter. My companions had a straight out of the sea piece of cod with a crust of nuts and clever things and it was a beautiful dish. I had a wonderful large half breast of chicken with tasty skin on, with various sources and, I kid you not, another onion! But this time it was stuffed with salmon and was really pleasant. And the CHIPS - if you could only have one element from the whole meal it would be these extraordinary creations. Apparently they take 72 hours to make. They are like a fine pomme dauphinoise that is in shaped like a chip and then triple cooked. £10 for 6. Wonderful. I don't normally do desserts, but this is where the hotel excelled. My companion had rhubarb ice cream with rhubarb and bits on top accompanied by a rhubarb “McDonalds Apple Pie” and I'm not being rude here. It looked the same and was mouth burningly hot as well. Great selection. We had a matcha cheesecake with a strawberry gel on top that was just about perfect. With a scoop of pistachio ice cream on the side and crumbled pistachio as well. Really nice. And because it was our birthdays, we had two birthday plates with swirly whirly chocolate sauce writing and little pieces of dessert on them as well. Really impressive. If you are into desserts. This is the lunch for you. Wine - We had a Barbera D’ Asti that was OK, but were charged £75 for the pleasure - the cheapest bottle in their eighty page wine catalogue - the Italian Reds are on page 53. The red wine was disappointing for the price. Kitchen tour - when they're not super busy they offer a tour of the kitchens which is worth a look. We spoke to Freddy, the head chef whose name is on the menu and was a delight - armed with all our knowledge from Anthony Bourdain and Jason Atherton, we talked about taking knives home on the tube, working service in silence, shouty and sweary head chefs (that is the past) and were shown the impressive wine collection with single bottles costing up to £13,000 - maybe my £75 wine wasn't too bad after all. Recommended - go in with your eyes open - it is called the grill - the doorman did not know the Tom Booton bit even though it is written on the wall. You need to pump up your assertiveness, and “just say “NO!” muscles” to avoid escalating bills, and keep the best lunch deal for a posh hotel restaurant in London, intact. I would skip the champagne, ask for tap water, and take your coffees elsewhere - £9 for an average espresso is not on. For dessert lovers this is a winning place

It's a busy area especially with events, I had to leave a few times just to calm down but it's amazing

My first time tasting this cuisine outside of my visit to Xi’an and I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors definitely suit my palate more as a non-local visitor. The Steamed Wheat Noodles with Seasonal Veggies & Wheat Gluten may look red and oily, but don’t be fooled! It’s not spicy at all. It pairs perfectly with the cold veggie appetizer! There was one male staff member who was genuinely professional—polite, attentive, and carried himself with such great etiquette. I’d honestly come back just for the service. Truly exemplary.

We've been here before when visiting London and so were delighted to find an empty table on the pavement as we passed it about 7pm hours before lockdown 2 in early November 2020. Not just a table but one with a patio heater above!We have had excellent food here in the past and this time was no exception but we were delighted to extend our repetoire in trying the lamb kebabs which were delicious. As were the moutabal (smoked aubergine dip) with home made flatbread and half a chicken with two sauces (we chose garlic and cucumber and mint). The chicken is moist and so very tasty. Everything was perfect.They told us how we could order via Deliveroo but sadly, living in Cambridge, we can't. We shall just dream of our next chance to visit when in London.

Had a great evening at Fora. Delicious, authentic Turkish food and wonderful service from the team!

Este es uno de los mejores restaurantes que he visitado.

Fun evening although expensive.

¡Nos encantó Zima! El servicio era cálido. Auténtica experiencia gastronómica rusa con ensalada de olivier, shuba, vinagreta, pelmeni, blinis con caviar y por supuesto nastoyka. Los platos eran muy sabrosos. También nos encantó el hecho de que tenían vino moldavo. ¡Volveremos!

Why is this on the site ? We went a few times to this lovely, tiny restaurant with excellent food, some of the best we’ve had in London, Sadly now closed ???

Wow what service - went on a rainy afternoon and therefore received the best ever service. Sorry didn’t catch the name of the main server but his recommendations and knowledge was superb - at the end he said see you again soon to try x off the menu - what a touch. Decor is unreal as is location. This is fine dining so just bear that in mind when you get the bill. I really enjoyed the cuisine but I couldn’t say that for my partner who is new to Scandinavian food. I would recommend a visit for definite and thank you for the lovely touch for my birthday and the amuse bouche.

La Perla Cora había venido muy recomendable: porciones generosas, servido al estilo familiar y carne bellamente picada... . Erm... No es exactamente la experiencia que esperábamos o fue prometido por las fotos en su sitio web. La comida llegó en platos más grandes que un plato lateral, pero no cerca del tamaño de un plato de cena. El pudín tradicional de Yorkshire descansaba precariamente sobre la comida pre-plateada, escondiendo la cucharada de repollo; pequeñas papas asadas; y rodajas demasiado dulces de zanahorias “glaseadas con miel”. ¡Sin embargo, el queso de coliflor se sirvió como acompañamiento! ¿Sí? ¡No...! La coliflor tristemente le faltaba la salsa de queso, pero se estaba bañando generosamente en un charco de agua tibia! Para terminar en una nota positiva - la carne asada era bastante bueno!
