The 30 Best High end bars in London

“Best place in Heathrow to have something to eat before catching a plane. Really nice drinks,champagne. Very good plate of salmon, and very very nice mozzarella with caviar”

“An Unforgettable Evening of Classic Excellence My partner and I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at Steakhouse London Marco Pierre White, and it was an experience that perfectly blended timeless elegance with warm, impeccable service. We began our evening in the bar, settling into the sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere with a cocktail. The Scottish Whiskey and Cranberry Crush was the perfect start – a beautifully balanced mix of robust whisky and the sweet, sharp tang of cranberry. It was both refreshing and complex, setting the tone for the culinary delights to come. For starters, the Smoked Salmon was a masterpiece of simplicity. Incredibly delicate, with a subtle smoky flavour that melted on the tongue. It was clear only the finest quality produce was used. When it came to the main event, the Beef Bourguignon was nothing short of spectacular. This classic French dish was executed flawlessly. The beef was phenomenally tender, falling apart at the mere touch of a fork, and had absorbed the rich, deep, and wonderfully aromatic red wine sauce. Served alongside the creamiest, most buttery smooth potatoes I have ever tasted, it was a hearty and utterly sublime combination that is a true testament to the kitchen's skill. Somehow, we found room for dessert, and we were so glad we did. The Chocolate Mousse was light, airy, and intensely chocolaty, while the Sticky Toffee Pudding was pure indulgence – wonderfully moist, decadently sweet, and served with a luxurious sauce. A perfect end to a perfect meal. However, what truly elevated our night from a great meal to a memorable occasion was our server, Giovana. She was an absolute delight! Her recommendations were spot-on, her timing was impeccable, and her warm, engaging, and genuinely charming demeanour made us feel so welcome and cared for. She has a fantastic talent for hospitality that makes all the difference. Thank you to Giovana and the entire team at Marco Pierre White's Steakhouse. We cannot recommend it highly enough and will most certainly be returning.”

“We reserved a vip table and an afterparty with a deposit in advance. Great experience, amazing sound system. Excellent service, I would especially like to praise the person who took care of our table. There was a small problem when entering the afterparty, but the management quickly solved it.”

“We went for first time with my friends to enjoy some Latino music. We were just ladies, security and staff was always checking that we were ok. It was great, we had so much fun and we dance and stay until 5 am. Highly recommended to everyone and looking forward to come back soon!”

“We had a great stay in Windsor. The house was spacious and well equipped. Our family of 4 was very comfortable. The house was spotless on arrival and we really appreciated the location on a quiet street, but within easy walking distance to town.”

“Accidently found this small, cute, Japanese place on my ride around. It was busy, so I just bought two curry buns for takeaway. They were the best curry buns I’ve tried so far in London! Warm, crunchy and full of flavor! I’ve tried one with sausage and one with cheese.”

“An intimate dining experience with just ten people per sitting, where you see the husband and wife chef prepare everything in front of you. The food was vast with many course, with everything being outstanding in terms of taste and quality. My personal highlights were the scallop and the duck soup. We opted for the wine pairing too, but if I were to go again I would not opt for that a second time round. A perfect location for an impressive date night and a must-go for any foodie looking for a new up and coming restaurant.”

“Popped into Grand Cholan in Canary Wharf and had the dosa for dinner and some poppadoms with chutney. The food was absolutely delicious! The dosa was really light, crispy, and full of flavour. The service was great too – everyone was friendly and attentive without being over the top. We’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu.”

“I recently visited Kaldi Coffee and had an amazing English breakfast. The food was delicious, with perfectly cooked halal turkey bacon, sausages, and fresh eggs. The café also offers excellent coffee, smoothies, and milkshakes. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my visit very enjoyable. Overall, Kaldi Coffee is a fantastic spot for a great meal and drinks. Highly recommended!”

“I arranged a last minute booking with AZ Luxe and they delivered above and beyond. I booked a drop off and pick up with this company to and from 2 different airports and they arranged everything for me. All I had to do was provide my flight itinerary and they took care of the rest. The most seamless process I’ve ever experienced with a chauffeur company unlike anything before. Our driver Riyad turned up early and patiently waited for us. He then greeted us kindly and took our luggage into the car. He then made sure we were comfortable and even reminded us if we had packed our essentials like passports, money and chargers. The drive was smooth and consistent and took us directly outside where we needed to be and helped us get a trolly too! On our return journey we were greeted by Syed who was waiting in clear view of arrivals at Heathrow and was very easy to spot. He apologised in advance as to where he had to park due to the lifts. Ring out of service and wanted us to avoid going up and down stairs with 4 suitcases. However he had parked in a location that was easy for us to get to and took our trolly and luggage and lead the way. Once we reached the car park, he told us to wait there and he rushed to bring the car to us to avoid making us walk. The drive back home was smooth and he made sure the car temperature was warm as we had just returned to London and the cold from tropical weather. Both drivers were professional and gave us that personal experience with those little extra touches that honestly made our holiday experience that bit better. AZ Luxe thank you! You were honestly the cherry on top”

“I visited the salon yesterday for the first time for an appointment with Carolina. My hair was heavily damaged by pregnancy and childbirth, Carolina was friendly and professional and gave me the best haircut I have had in years, I look and feel 10 years younger! Loved chatting with her and I will be back soon for more treatments. Thanks Carolina !”

“10/5 stars location. WOW. The shop is spotless, attention from the moment you walk in, Kenan was extremely hospitable. And my haircut, OMG he is a professional. I got the best turkish experience haircut with Kenan. I am only going to this barbershop when in London.”

“Highly recommend here. Visited last week and received some great advice on a wide selection of cigars they have. Montecristo No 4 smoked just as described. Really competitive prices too. 5*”

“We stayed here for our daughter’s wedding and it was truly perfect! All of the staff were so professional, courteous and attentive. The rooms are fabulous-truly full of opulent nostalgia . The breakfast was utterly outstanding and the home made biccies served with tea in our room a joy! We would definitely recommend this stunning hotel and for such a special day it could not be faulted”

“This has become one of my favourite neighbourhood spots. The atmosphere is warm and cosy- perfect for an evening catch-up or an easy mid-week dinner. The bacon risotto is absolutely delicious and easily one of the best dishes on the menu - creamy, comforting, and full of flavour. The starters could be a little stronger, but everything else more than makes up for it. The service is friendly and unhurried, and the overall vibe feels authentically Italian. A lovely local gem that always makes you feel welcome.”

“We came here for an informal meal to mark my youngest daughter’s birthday who also happens to have some allergies. We were very compassionately taken care of and the service was completely impeccable. Great tasting swiftly served meals with good portion sizes. I would recommend anyone to experience Antika with its cozy ambience and service. Everything from the Lamb chops to the lamb shanks were wonderful. Also the food was HALAL! The whole family enjoyed the experience, thank you once again to the staff.”

“Our first experience with Georgian food and it was wonderful. Friendly hosts who encouraged us to try Georgian wine and he went out of his way to explain the various dishes. We very much enjoyed our lunch - they had a Christmas market in the ground floor and that added to the festive spirit. Thank you!”

“Excellent service and amazing food. Me and my friend made our way here from our hotel and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality. We especially overestimated our ability to eat it all as well, which isn't a complaint in the slightest. Portions are more than sizable, food was phenomenal and staff really friendly. You can't ask for more.”

“Every dish was made with great care and creativity — beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was excellent and friendly, and the restaurant itself was stunning, with elegant lights and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. It was a dining experience I’ll always remember.”

“I’ve been here around four or five times in the last three years and all I can say is if I lived closer I’d be here every day their salad is impeccable. The portion size is humongous. The flavours are out of this world when you think of a normal boring salad, this is nothing at all like it, It’s amazing. And even after the first time trying it, I still drive 30 to 40 minutes to come here to get it Over and over and my order has never changed. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Is this the future of the British pub? I hope so! It's hard to find such a huge collection of ales and ciders anywhere in the UK. It's quite spacious for a 'micro', with plenty of seating and standing room. Very handy for Hornchurch FC on match days. Excellent!”

“I have been coming here for almost 3 years for my nails now. Despite moving away from London, I still come back here to get my nails done! The care received is like nowhere else - they're super friendly, professional and work to perfection!! The staff are so polite, always asking about family members etc. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!! Prices are competitive too and they provide a higher standard of service than many nail salons nearby!”

“We had a fantastic dining experience at Prime Rickmansworth in Chandlers Cross. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The triple-cooked chips were absolutely delicious and complemented the meal perfectly. The service was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed. A wonderful spot for anyone who appreciates quality food and great hospitality, highly recommended!”

“Updated: 23/10/2025 Thank you again to all the lovely staff. My friend came to celebrate her birthday and we had 2 Everleaf mocktails each. Thank you Gail for giving my friend a little birthday dessert treat. Simply lovely. My old review still stands. (03/10/2025). See below⬇️ Steaks were cooked to perfection. (Fillet) Waitress Gail was very attentive and very polite. Thank you so very much. The everleaf passionfuit mocktail was excellent. Wish I could buy it to take home! My friend and I definitely be returning.”

“This is such a brilliant idea, and makes the meal really interesting when you get to observe the trainees. The food was excellent and we enjoyed guessing what they had been learning about this week based on the menu choices! It was hard to book, and I think we booked about 3 or 4 months in advance. However for the price it’s excellent value for money and a fun evening out! We ate 3 courses and left in exactly 1 hour and I think the attentiveness of the staff made it a very efficient, pleasant and enjoyable meal! We will be coming back.”

“Two of us visited, went quite late into the evening for burgers. We ordered ‘All Hail The Cheese’ & ‘The Duke’ Both delicious in flavour, but would 100% come back for the Alll Hail, Service was quick, and friendly enough, didn’t wait long for the food either, good portion size and very filling. We had a slight issue with what we ordered but was rectified quickly which makes us happier to come back.”

“A real gem of a restaurant in Hackney. The food and service was simply superb! Exciting innovative dishes with a sustainable ethos and a beautiful airy dining room.”

“Baccala in Bermondsey is Italian done with a modern wink but without going full experimental theater. The chef revisits the classics just enough to keep things interesting, without losing the soul of the originals. Seafood gets a lot of love here — fresh, well-prepared, and the kind of dishes that remind you London can actually pull off Mediterranean vibes when it tries. The wine list is excellent, carefully chosen rather than bloated. And the tiramisu? Straight out of nonna’s kitchen — moist, rich, balanced, exactly how it should be. The crowd skews local, mostly Londoners who know where to eat, with only a handful of tourists who’ve clearly done their homework. Reviews brought them here, and honestly, this place earns every star. Service is friendly, not formal and very efficient.”
