Côte Covent Garden - (Near Westminster, South East)

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.

irws Lovely little cafe! Their menu offers very interesting spins on classic dishes and it seems that they regularly change their menu too. I tried the fried eggs in chilli butter which was well balanced and very tasty. We also has the mushrooms on toast which had a healthy serving of shrooms piled on! The cafe has very limited seating but I would recommend visiting if you are keen for a more unique taste.

Alessandra Scotti We had a wonderful experience at Vasinikò. Despite it being a busy Saturday evening and us arriving without a booking, they still managed to find us a table straight away. I mentioned that I was feeling a bit cold, and they immediately adjusted the air-conditioning so it wouldn’t blow directly on me — such thoughtful service. I ordered a gluten‑free Margherita and it was absolutely outstanding. The tomato sauce was excellent quality: sweet, rich, and full of flavour. The pizza base was honestly the best gluten‑free one I’ve ever had — soft, elastic, light, and not heavy at all. You could really taste the quality of the extra virgin olive oil, and the fresh basil on top made it perfect. The service throughout the evening was courteous, quick, and genuinely caring. Our waiter checked on us often and made sure we were comfortable and happy. Overall, it was a really lovely experience. I would definitely recommend Vasinikò, especially if you need or prefer gluten‑free options.

Mira Shah Six Clerks is such a cosy and inviting spot inside The Law Society, The food was absolutely incredible. Chef Scott Dineen created a five course tasting menu celebrating British spring produce, and every dish was a hit. We started with London sourdough and burnt onion butter - simple, rich, and the perfect way to begin. Then came “Down the Rabbit Hole”, a beautifully done pressed rabbit terrine with lemon verbena emulsion and black olive - so delicate and full of flavour. Next up, “Eggs ‘n’ Soldiers”, which was hands down one of my favourites. A creamy Lancashire bomb custard, firecracker jam, a soft pheasant egg, and Wye Valley asparagus - comforting but elevated. “Mary Had a Little Lamb”—perfectly cooked Romney Marsh lamb, with smoked belly curds, morels, wild garlic, and kombu dashi. Every element worked together beautifully. “The Crossover”, a clever play on a hot cross bun with sherry caramel, whipped Baron Bigod cheese, and black truffle - sweet, savoury, and completely addictive. And finally, dessert: “The Humble Carrot” - a gorgeous mix of carrot cake, ice cream, pickled walnuts, orange marmalade, and dill granita. Unexpected, refreshing, and the perfect way to end. The whole experience was thoughtful, balanced, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.

Emma Rahman We had our office Christmas lunch at Tattu London, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the décor was absolutely exquisite. Staff were super friendly and attentive throughout. We chose the 3-course set menu, which was more than enough food—everything was delicious. The sushi was fresh and crisp, the steak was perfectly cooked medium-well on a bed of asparagus, and the dessert was sweet and moreish. We added duck pancakes and char siu pork, which were both tasty, but honestly, the set menu alone is plenty. One funny note: the round tables look like Lazy Susans, so everyone tried to spin them at some point! Overall, a fantastic experience. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’m trying more of their cocktails!

David Stephens These are my views based on my experience The moment we arrived we could see this is a well run restaurant. Our drinks and meals were excellent, good portions and well priced. All the team were polite and helpful. The only let down were the toilets, they need to be checked more often, I used them once and it was a mess, tissues allover the floor and wash bowls. My wife said the same about the ladies toilets too. I did notice the downstairs dinning area, so bigger gatherings are well catered for. Thank you all at Cote, we will be back.
