The Garden Bistro Bar - (Near Westminster, london)

Sim Birgin Located in the liveliest part of Covent Garden, it has a pleasant atmosphere. The food is delicious, especially the venison dishes, which are truly excellent. They have a wide variety of wines on their menu. The staff are attentive and friendly. The only downsides were the slightly long waiting times before and after ordering. It might be a good idea to be aware of this during busy times.

Eva Belcastro My best friend and I came here for our first dinner in London on vacation, we both agree it was the best meal we’ve ever had! The food was beyond words to describe, flavorful and perfectly done—the combination of textures was executed perfectly. Our waitress Sonya was very kind and helpful, all the staff were friendly and efficient. The ambience and decor are absolutely lovely and very comfortable. We look forward to going back next time we come to London, I can only recommend this establishment :)

Y M We had a fantastic evening at Hawksmoor Seven Dials and everything came together perfectly — great food, excellent wine, and genuinely warm service. We started with the beetroot salad, which was fresh, light, and full of flavour. The highlight of the meal was the 450g Chateaubriand, cooked exactly as requested — beautifully tender, rich, and clearly top-quality beef. The sides were just as enjoyable: the beef dripping chips were crisp and indulgent, the spinach with lemon added a lovely freshness, the garlic mushrooms were full of flavour, and the Tunworth mash was wonderfully creamy. The bone marrow gravy tied everything together perfectly. The seasonal pavlova was light, balanced, and a delicious way to finish the meal. A special thank you to Scott, the sommelier, who recommended a superb Rasteau Bressy Masson wine — a fantastic pairing with the steak. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and very professional. Our waiter Adam was also excellent throughout the evening: friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything was just right. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience with outstanding food and service. We will definitely be returning.

Jacy Garland Highly recommended! We had the most incredible night at House of Louie. We started in the Japanese restaurant on the lower floor, then moved upstairs to the French restaurant, and finished in the Alligator Lounge… and ended up staying all night. The food in both restaurants was outstanding, and the cocktails were some of the best we’ve had in London — beautifully made and dangerously easy to keep ordering. Every space has its own amazing ambience that flows perfectly together, so the whole evening feels like an experience rather than just dinner. The live music was simply beautiful , a pianist sang and played creating at atmosphere like no other. Very unique and special. Such a special place. Can’t wait to come back!

Vinicius Santos A Well-Executed Pre-Theatre Experience at Cora Pearl The décor is relaxed and intimate, complemented by soft background music that creates a warm, understated atmosphere. Expectations were high, especially as Cora Pearl has been ranked by the Michelin Guide as the best pre-theatre dining spot in London. We visited as a family of four and arrived about ten minutes before our pre-theatre reservation; our table was already ready, which was a great start. My parents both chose the three-course pre-theatre menu: potatoes with cod roe to start, pork steak for the main, and the After Eight crémeux for dessert. I had the butternut squash with coconut cream as a starter—the cream was thicker than I expected, but still very rich and delicious—followed by the wild sea bass with Jerusalem artichoke velouté, salsify, and bergamot. Overall, the food was excellent: well executed, well balanced, and thoughtfully put together. We shared a bottle of Riesling and I ordered the Cheeky Peach cocktail, as the restaurant is known for its cocktails. Both were enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. The Parmesan fries, however, were outstanding and easily a highlight of the meal. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, although service did slow down a little during busier moments. That said, it didn’t detract significantly from an otherwise very enjoyable pre-theatre experience.

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!
