Upscale dining experience in London

“Went for a meal with my wife and child on a Saturday evening. Good food and very well prepared. The food was quick which helped as our son was hungry and it came hot from the kitchen. Enjoyed the meal and Priya, our server, was excellent. The pizza bread starter she recommended was very nice!”

“Once a year with my bosses we go to a nice restaurant, this year it was my turn to choose one so I choose Dinner by Heston Blumenthal because Im actually a big fan of his food and reviews are great. I must say that the experience we had were truly unique, it was beyond what I personally expected and even my bosses thought I made the right and I know I did! The service was really unique, I never experienced something like this before, staff are so knowledgeable about the food provenance and the history behind it! By the way you will be given the choice between 3 table cards: One detailing the dish's original 16th-19th century origin, the other one explaining the dish's journey from historical recipe to modern masterpiece and the other one is when you just want the food to do its talking with no story telling (please don’t choose this one!!) The whole experience was unique, I have been to many restaurants but this one is the one that I’ll definitely come back to!”

“Ideal lazy weekend meal. Expect slow, but thoughtful service. Be sure to take a nap after the meal.”

“An absolutely wonderful and delicious venue! I’ve been here a few times and always had a great experience. The Moussaka is to die for! Huge shout out to Andy - wonderful customer service and creates a great atmosphere every time!”

“delicious lunch deal to go with tikka wrap, chips & a drink for £9. the pitta / wrap itself with fresh and fluffy with generous pieces of chicken. service was very friendly too”

“The menu, all written in French (proof of quality!), is well balanced with choices for every mouth. The service has the perfect pace thabks to the great staff (also good as recommending wine!). The food itself is nicely cooked and presented, slight down point on the sides that would benefit from more attention (I went for the vegatables medley). Prices are adequate, especially when compared to London. A must go if you are after a good fine cuisine restaurant in the area!”

“Great food - the fish soup is full of flavor and supplemented with a small basket of tasty bread, king prawn risotto is super delicious Good service, only £14.8 for two courses at lunch is absolutely worth for value Only a small drawback is that the cappuccino is just fair”

“We had fantastic time atmosphere was great and food was amazing! We can't wait to be back!”

“Fantastic food, beautifully prepared. Outstanding service! (Special mention for our waitress Eva)”

“This is one of the best restaurants we have been to in London. The staff were lovely and the food was absolutely fantastic. The use of spices was incredible, if you order the potatoes (Aloo Tuk) you will spend the entire meal trying to figure out what they are seasoned with. Absolute magic. Do yourself a favour and get yourself here, you won’t be disappointed.”

“The RISING Sun never disappoints! As always a fantastic experience at The Rising Sun, SUPER FOOD and EXCELLENT SERVICE.. Thank You Beth and David for looking after us.”

“This spot holds a special place in my heart, hands down my favourite Italian restaurant in London. I always make sure to visit whenever I’m in town. Everything on the menu is delicious - I especially love their seafood based pastas. I sincerely recommend this place to everyone.”

“This is one of my favorite finds! Delicious food, good prices, very friendly staff, and such a gorgeous garden to sit in. It's a close walk to Brockwell Park and I can't wait to come back!”

“Good food and location, I would recommend this place while visiting London and looking for an English breakfast”

“Amazing family lunch on Easter Day at Terra Rossa. Service was quick and staff very personable and kind. We had an amazing past with octopus ragout sauce with, seafood risotto (they make a different risotto every day), a staple of the Puglia cuisine, orecchiette pasta with cime di rapa (broccoli), a tasty pizza and to end on a sweet note, some gelato and the typical Pasticciotto with custard from Salento region. Price was in line with an Italian restaurant in central London, especially given two dishes had seafood. The only thing I would have liked differently is having more vegetables on the pizza but it’s just if I really need to give advice. We’ll be back for sure!!!”

“We enjoyed a set course pre-theatre meal. Our server Lana along with her colleagues were fabulous. Our dinner was wonderful and we highly recommend The Restaurant at St Martins Lane.”

“Elystan street is hands down my favourite restaurant in London and I can’t recommend it enough! The food is incredible and service is highly attentive! They have an amazing seasonal menu if you go for the early seating at 6:30 as well as incredible a la carte and 6 course tasting menu options! For special occasions they have a hand written card on your table signed by all the members of the kitchen. It is a bit on the pricier side (with the exception of the seasonal menu which is great value) but highly worth it! Atmosphere is quaint, light music with general restaurant chatter so you can have a nice conversation over dinner, the tables are also well spaced apart”

“Truly enjoyed the tasting menu. Wonderful in every detail. Generous portion or, in fact, this is setting a good standard that any restaurant needs to give the dish substantial form and food to eat in order to taste and enjoy when providing a multiple course tasting menu. Lobster ravioli was my favourite. Pasta was al dente, and lobster meat inside was full of flavours and textures. The lobster bisque had a Thai style hint to it and some vege at the bottom to balance it out. Lamb main with the lamb sausage was a bit too strong in taste for me, but I liked it for the fact that the tasting menu was an experience to try out the chef's specialities. The pre-dessert was phenomenal and was my second favourite for this menu. Welcome snacks and petit four had shown the chef had put in a lot of effort and creativity to make the meal memorable and fun.”

“Really enjoyed our edamame, taro karrage, Tori paitan ramen and the chicken katsu curry - the meal took us back to Japan, authentic and delicious. Tenmaru is our new favourite Japanese restaurant! The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable.”

“Exceptional food and service! I came here to have a 3 course lunch. All of the three dishes were perfect. The servers were very attentive and the ambience was peaceful. My personal favourite was the Braised Ox cheek. Will definitely come back.”

“This place is the Best place in and around Chislehurst, Trust Me! 100% The Breakfasts are absolutely spot on!! I have recently tried their roast dinners on various different days and Oh My God! It is out of this world, I am not joking please Try it and see for yourselves. Sev and Ali are really nice people and they know how to look after their customers. This is a good Old Fashioned Cafe! Nothing Posh here!! Thank you so much and hopefully see you again soon. X Best Hus”

“Simply superb The food, the service , atmosphere The French owner from Paris is lovely, the bar staff wonderful. The shrimp and mussels are so delicious It's my children's local. I will be back for sure!”

“Great Sunday roast The pork belly is delicious with crispy skin. Huge Yorkshire pudding. The coffee is also worth mentioning as they use ozone’s beans”

“Excellent location, the rooms quite complete and the cleaning service fulfilled! I really enjoyed staying there, I’ll be back soon :)”

“We went for an early dinner this afternoon. Was seated and served immediately. We ordered OMNINO SAMPLER INCLUDE FILLET, RUMP, RIBEYE & SIRLOIN 1.2KG. Between my husband and I, we finished it all. It was delicious steaks. Good value! Will go back again.”

“Came here to celebrate a birthday and was very happy with the whole experience. When heavy traffic delayed us, the staff was very accommodating and helpful. Food and service was great! And they also brought a birthday gift and a handwritten card, very impressive. Will definitely come back!”

“Lovely meal with my lovely Dad, we didn’t book but they could accommodate us, we ordered off the 3 course set menu and had some extras. We ordered cocktails too! Such good value for money and the food was exceptional! Our waitress Grace was so lovely and accommodating she was very sweet also and made sure we were ok with our meals and drinks. Will definitely come again.”

“I had an amazing stay at Lexham Gardens by Cheval Maison. Everything was perfect, from the exceptional service and friendly staff to the spotless cleanliness and beautiful, modern design. Before my arrival, I sent an email requesting to check in a day earlier, and they promptly replied with confirmation, offering me the same rate. On the day of check-out, I decided to extend my stay for one more night, and once again, they accommodated my request with the same rate, which I truly appreciated. The only concern I had was the soundproofing it wasn’t up to par, and I could hear noises from outside my room. Aside from this, everything else exceeded my expectations, and I truly enjoyed my time here. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, style, and top-notch service.”

“Lovely hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Beautifully decorated hotel, rooms we immaculately clean. We stayed in a music theme room on the 5th floor. It was lovely and quiet, room was spacious and comfortable. We had a fantastic nights sleep. I loved the little duck in the bathroom made me smile! And the extras in the fridge were a nice touch and greatly appreciated after a busy day! We would definitely stay again. Location is incredible so convenient for the tube, the museum and lots of lovely cafes and restaurants. My only disappointment was that we couldn’t get food in the hotel before 6pm which we needed to do as we were heading out early and we arrived back at the hotel after 12 hoping for a little nightcap but even on a Friday night we were told bar was closed and the concierge couldn’t recommend anywhere in the area where we could go! Which was a bit of a disappointment. But all in all it was a very pleasant stay! Our only regret is not booking breakfast or afternoon tea in the drawing room! It looked stunning! Had we more time there we would have. But I’m sure we will be back! Overall very comfortable pleasant stay on top location!”

“A great hotel in a great location. Literally steps to Trafalgar Square and Charing cross tube station. Plenty of pubs nearby for classic pub food and a beer. The hotel itself is totally original- Scotland Yard Police station converted to a hotel, complete with memorabilia on the walls . Good size rooms which was very comfy. Great staff, very friendly. Cocktail lounge was classy - good cocktails and live music on Friday/ Saturday. There are cookie cutter hotels which are all pretty average- then there is this amazing boutique hotel in a historic building . No contest. I know where I am staying when I am next in London.”
