Caffè Concerto Northumberland Avenue - (Near Westminster, london)

Andy Ikoyi has such a distinguished reputation it can only really disappoint. Im pleased to say it didnt. Ours was a menu of delicious little taste bombs with one slightly more substantial dish featuring their smoked jollof (dont get excited Ghanians, its not real jollof but it is delicious anyway). As hoped, the food was the star of the show and each course really did impress with the flavours, textures and presentation. I found the desserts werent as good as the starters and mains but thats probably more to do with my palate preferences than anything else. From reviews Id read I was expecting an African themed menu which isnt really the case, its more of a fusion menu with inspiration from all over (including the golden continent). The restaurant itself is a wonderfully designed space with exceptional ambience, it had atmosphere and moody charm without too much buzz or pretentiousness which is hard to achieve. The staff were also great; professional, warm and attentive without being over the top. It is madly expensive but if fine dining is your thing, its money well spent.

Paul Koch WOW! I didn’t even check my “usual” Trip Advisor or Google reviews…just picked a place near Covent Garden. The oysters the crab cake starter were phenomenal. They have an excellent wine list. I tried the local sparkling wine from Kent. AND Dami the manager was just awesome. He really helped with the wine pairing and Daniel gave us the great suggestions for our food!

Phil Newman This place is not a pub serving food. Its a high end restaurant serving beer. Absolutely fantastic on every level. Service, decor, food and great beer and wine. Stunning venue and very traditionally English. Recommend this place for excellent food. Everything was tasty and the chefs know how to cook.

Lydia Edwards A gorgeous, friendly, and welcoming restaurant where we enjoyed sitting in the window, watching the world go by. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented, and the staff were exceptionally warm, making it the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion.

Sarah H As a lover of seafood, J Sheekey did not disappoint with the quality of food and service. The interior was classy and classic with a variety of celebrity portraits adorning the walls. The food was delicious and filling, with my favourite being the massala and pilaf rice, which had a very creamy texture. Our server Chris gave exceptional service and was very attentive and professional. There was a lot of choice on the menu, hence, I would love to return to try other dishes.

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!
