Ann Kuznetsov 3 of my favourite types of cuisine under 1 roof! Heaven on earth! Their roast chicken was insanely succulent and juicy, their bao buns were the best Ive had in a long time and their pasta, especially the truffle one, was incredible!

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.

Tuxedo Mask One of the best experiences Ive had in London dinning. We were seated quickly despite the crowd and the busy environment. Free popcorn of course and the food arrived within minutes of ordering which was perfect, no long waits. The steak was beautiful and so flavourful. We ordered sides as well and it complimented the steak really well. I would highly recommend ordering the mashed potatoes, honestly one of the best Ive had in a restaurant. The drinks were amazing and overall I was really happy and impressed. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were very attentive to us. And of course, free ice cream at the end. 100% recommend Flat Iron

Abbiline Mendosa Had a lovely time at Crudo. We were a table of 4 and ordered the Crudo tasting menu and the Vegetarian tasting menu. Very decent portion sizes, superb presentation, and the food was delicious, particularly the chicken nduja and tuna tiradito. Service was great too, very friendly.

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.
