El Takoy - (Near Westminster, london)

Inderjeet Tak This is the first time I have visited this restaurant for my teams Christmas meal. Our group contained a bunch of carnivores, herbivores and some pescatarians. Everyone was very impressed with quality and quantity of the dishes the kitchen served. The restaurant was decorated with an awesome Christmas theme. The food was very tasty and everyone was very impressed with its quality and quantity. The service was quick and focused and the atmosphere was awesome. Loved it and would recommend without hesitation.

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.

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!

Moe Homer Ha Lovely. Had lunch with friends - never been, always go past while I’m in the area. Had the charcuterie to share and the confit pork belly as the main. Everything was lovely!

Genevieve Segall The soufflé and snail bolognaise were incredible. Rotisserie chicken was delicious. Perfectly balanced dishes that we enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. Slight issue with one of the courses and they dealt with it diligently and courteously so felt very taken care off. It’s lovely and so are the staff. Can’t recommend enough. It’s an experience worth having.

Michael’s Reviews ★★★★★ We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Smith & Wollensky. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. The two of us shared the jumbo shrimp cocktail (although not as jumbo as I expected) and the classic Wollensky salad, followed by a Kansas cut sirloin and a beautifully cooked USDA Prime steak—everything was outstanding and perfectly prepared. The service was attentive and polished, and the atmosphere had that timeless, classic Smith & Wollensky feel. To make the evening even more special, the staff surprised us with two glasses of champagne and a small cake to celebrate our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, a lovely dining experience and a perfect place for a special occasion in London.
