Goodwhich - (Near Westminster, london)

Nel Kerai Absolutely fantastic food. Every dish had a twist with different inventive sauces providing a great variety of rich flavours, without heavy creaminess. Ice cream cone chaat and candy floss dessert delivered playfulness and originality. Grand yet homely interior with nostalgic memorabilia giving it a comfortable feel. Service was 10/10 with food orders arriving quickly and our waiter was very attentive and informative. A memorable celebratory experience.

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.

Tim Danton Ive just spent a fantastic evening here. Fantastic food from start to finish, excellent service and the atmosphere down in the basement was a lot of fun -almost like being at a party as it was so relaxed. We skipped the starters and dived straight into the main course - perfectly cooked pasta, tasty sauces, great presentation. The wine was top quality and excellent value, but it was the desserts that made the evening. Congratulations to everyone involved. We had to wait 30 minutes for a place at the bar, but it was so worth it.

Nic Banister Well worth a visit to the one that started it all, somewhere Ive wanted to visit for a long time. Relatively small by modern standards inside but that just adds to the busy brasserie ambience. Exquisite design and layout with the bar down the middle with counter seating and normal tables every side (toilets near the entrance). Service excellent even through they were busy. Food exactly what you would expect - we enjoyed the fish and chips and pan fried sea bass. Deserts the classic chocolate bombe, rum baba and creme brulee (although would have preferred this a bit more crunchy on the top). Its a busy classic London brasserie and I completely recommend it!

Kate Reynolds Great eatery. Monk fish was superb as was lamb kofta. We didnt think the chicken tagine was as good. Hugo spritz was delicious but small. Service was very polite and quiet. Gave us plenty of time to catch up. Good supply of water in a jug!

Jacy Garland Highly recommended! We had the most incredible night at House of Louie. We started in the Japanese restaurant on the lower floor, then moved upstairs to the French restaurant, and finished in the Alligator Lounge… and ended up staying all night. The food in both restaurants was outstanding, and the cocktails were some of the best we’ve had in London — beautifully made and dangerously easy to keep ordering. Every space has its own amazing ambience that flows perfectly together, so the whole evening feels like an experience rather than just dinner. The live music was simply beautiful , a pianist sang and played creating at atmosphere like no other. Very unique and special. Such a special place. Can’t wait to come back!
