The Original Ivy, West End - (Near Westminster, london)

Adi Harneja We had a fantastic visit to Din Tai Fung in Covent Garden. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and every dish we ordered was delicious. The hot and sour chili soup was a standout. It was hot, comforting, and even better when paired with their signature spicy sauce. The crispy chicken and vegetable wontons were perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, and we also loved the vegetable jiao zi, chicken dumplings, and chicken gyoza. The string beans with garlic were incredibly tasty as well. We finished our meal with the chocolate mochi and sea salt caramel dessert, the perfect sweet ending. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a lovely dining experience!

Peter Vandermolen Amazing and friendly service by all members of staff. The dishes are works of art with many layers of flavor and presented beautifully. The restaurant does not have many covers to serve and perhaps that is reflected in the pricing. Frog is - relatively- expensive for a 1 Michelin star restaurant where you can easily splash £300 for the menu and drinks. Is it worth it? That’s up to you. Is it a wonderful tasty experience: sure it is!

Seiriol Dawes-Hughes High quality food served by charming staff in a classy setting. Great location for a pre-theatre meal. The schnitzel was great and the shared souffle was well worth the wait and made for a fun end to the meal. It was quite pricey but this is central London after all and it felt like a great. It got rather noisy towards the end of our meal as the place filled up to capacity. But would definitely return for a pre-theatre meal in the West End

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.

namrata sain This is situated in the nice silent corner of Covent garden, with good seating area and high chair friendly. They have kids menu and vegan friendly options. A must visit for pan Asian food for family as well as dates!

Milagros Saloma As a Peruvian I can say the food was delicious. We got the lunch menu, we picked the classic ceviche and pollo a la brasa with side of potatoes. Taste was perfect! The ambience was great, nice latin music, and nice service. The pisco sour could improve, but I gave my comments to the barman and he was very eager to listen. I really recommend this place :)
