26 Grains - (Near Westminster, london)

Ian Tunhain My go to cafe when I go to the West End. No thrills, but lovely and clean, and does exactly what it says on the tin. Lovely tea, and food is always fresh and clean and well presented. Service is good, staff are helpful and attentive and run this place very well. after i get off the train at Charing Cross, I love to stop here and sit with a cup of tea or 2 and a bite to eat, and watch the world go by just off Trafalgar Square, before I venture further in to town. If youre after a trendy fancy cafe, this is not the place for you. If youre after a clean cafe with prompt service and clean food, then defiantly stop here. A1

Karolina Sokolowska I chose this place to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and from our very first interaction with customer service to the end of the evening, it was an amazing experience. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. We ordered a variety of dishes, and while the main course (the pork chops) was fairly average, everything else was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, as I didn’t expect this place to offer such high-quality food. The drinks menu was diverse and unique, with plenty of options to choose from, including wines and other beverages. The live music was another highlight of the night—it really enhanced the atmosphere and made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys live music and great food. The photos online truly don’t do it justice.

Kerry Sieger My sister and I went to Brasserie Blanc on a whim. French just sounded better than Italian, which had been our original plan. We are so glad we went! Everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was wonderful. I had escargots and sautéed mushrooms and artichoke hearts, finished with an apple tart. My sister had pate and pan fried trout finished with pistachio soufflé. We both had a glass of wine (Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon blanc, respectively). Every bit of the food was delicious. And the service! I jokingly mentioned to the waiter that I thought the vegan mushrooms and artichokes would taste better sautéed in butter, and he must have spoken to the chef because voila there was a distinct butter taste to my meal! The hostess was very friendly too, telling us the signature dessert (pistachio soufflé) and also mentioning the loyalty program at the restaurant (Le Club), which gave us a 25% discount. My sister and I enjoyed both the food and the service so much we’re planning to return tomorrow night, our last night in London, to try all the foods we didn’t get a chance to try tonight. I highly recommend Brasserie Blanc, especially the Chancery Lane location!

Kate Reynolds Great eatery. Monk fish was superb as was lamb kofta. We didnt think the chicken tagine was as good. Hugo spritz was delicious but small. Service was very polite and quiet. Gave us plenty of time to catch up. Good supply of water in a jug!

Frankie Molyneux We stopped in for a few drinks and tapas at the bar post theatre and karolis made us feel right at home. He had amazing knowledge of cockatiels and the food menu. Thank you for a special evening ❤️

Sanj Visited Christopher’s for lunch and dessert to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and as always, it didn’t disappoint. The food was lovely — we had the chicken burger, and the sauce was especially flavourful and really brought the dish together. The real standout, though, was the brioche French toast — consistently excellent and easily one of the best desserts on the menu. It was a nice touch having ‘Happy Birthday’ written on the plate, which made it feel special, even if it’s a shame they don’t do the sparklers anymore. The atmosphere was great, as it always is — lively, buzzing, and full of energy, which adds to the overall experience. A reliable spot for good food, great desserts, and a celebratory lunch.
