The Lion Houndsditch - (Near City of London, london)

Saeid Rok Hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. Every single item was cooked perfectly and clearly made with care. The eggs were spot on, the bacon was rich and meaty, the sausage was full of flavour, and the beans were just right. The crispy potatoes were golden and seasoned beautifully, and the toast was warm and fresh. Even the mushrooms and tomato were done properly, not overlooked like they often are. The portion size was generous without being sloppy, and everything worked together exactly how a proper breakfast should. Comforting, filling, and incredibly satisfying. If you’re after a classic, high-quality breakfast that leaves you happy and full, this is it. Would absolutely come back again.

Samanta Grinberga I visited 14 Stories in 2024 to celebrate my birthday and it was such a lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was amazing, I genuinely felt like a special guest. The staff were sophisticated, attentive, and very knowledgeable, which really elevated the whole experience. The rooftop views of London were stunning, and the interior was just as impressive; beautifully designed, elegant, and very aesthetic. It was a beautiful rooftop dining experience, not just for the views but for the overall atmosphere too. It is on the more expensive side, but for a special occasion we didn’t mind at all. We didn’t go overboard and spent around £65 per person, and everything was beautifully presented and genuinely delicious. The place was spotless, well presented, and it was clear the staff take real pride in what they do. We managed to capture some gorgeous photos, and I was even surprised with a small birthday dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch. I’d absolutely love to return and really indulge in the cocktails and explore more of the menu. I’d highly recommend this for a more sophisticated occasion — whether that’s with friends, family, or for a fancy date. Definitely a memorable experience.

Sharon Smith We’d not pre booked, it was early Monday afternoon (22nd Dec)…we had our very small cavapoochon & they were very welcoming. It’s fair to say they don’t openly advertise a dogs welcome policy, but if you ask & they can accommodate your pooch they will (subject to other guest bookings). The food was excellent, the service very good. I appreciate the comments about the house wine costs, service & cover charge - this is London!!! An independent & authentic restaurant of very good quality food…what’s not to like? We would definitely return - thank you Giorgio’s we loved it.

Jin I love the decoration in the restaurant! The big table and how much space has between each table definitely provides privacy between different parties. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The bread was freshly baked and tasty. The cheesecake was the highlight of the dinner. I highly recommend this place and will visit again!

Caroline Dennehy Our table enjoyed a lovely afternoon. Rodrigo was an excellent waiter, he looked after us very well. The rest of the team were great too. What a lovely find, we’ll definitely be back. Thank you!!

Madison Gamerson Such an incredible dining experience!! The service was immaculate, our server helped explain the dishes we were unsure of and made recommendations for us as first time diners. They let us take our time with each course, and everything was cooked to perfection. It was the best meal I ate while in London!!!!
