J S Very nice and cozy little french restaurant. Pleasant service and really good choice across all the main French classics. A bit on the pricier side but its in Covent Garden so understandable.

Bruna Pignolato This restaurant is one of those places that stays with you long after you’ve left. From the first bite to the last sip of coffee, everything feels thoughtful and intentional. Food: Every dish is a pleasant surprise — balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and combinations that show both technique and heart. Nothing feels accidental: the perfect cook on the meats, the freshness of the herbs, the small details that make each plate feel personal. It’s food made with soul, and you can taste that in every bite. Service: The service is flawless. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They always appear at just the right moment — with great recommendations and real enthusiasm. You feel looked after, not just served. Ambience: The space is beautiful without being pretentious. The lighting is perfect, the atmosphere calm, and every detail seems designed for comfort. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, talk, and just enjoy the moment — ideal for a special dinner or a quiet evening out. It’s more than just a meal; it’s an experience. You leave feeling lighter, happier, and already planning your next visit.

Alice Page Oh my goodness. Second time here and the food, experience and service is just as we remembered - 10/10. The Korean Chicken Wings, Wagu Bao Buns and Basque Cheesecake is so unbelievable we go from non-stop talking to absolute silence. A very good sign! Our favourite restaurant and, tonight, Angela was a delight. Thank you!!

Ian Tunhain My go to cafe when I go to the West End. No thrills, but lovely and clean, and does exactly what it says on the tin. Lovely tea, and food is always fresh and clean and well presented. Service is good, staff are helpful and attentive and run this place very well. after i get off the train at Charing Cross, I love to stop here and sit with a cup of tea or 2 and a bite to eat, and watch the world go by just off Trafalgar Square, before I venture further in to town. If youre after a trendy fancy cafe, this is not the place for you. If youre after a clean cafe with prompt service and clean food, then defiantly stop here. A1

Edward Lambden I have high standards for Vietnamese food because I know the potential of the cuisine. I was not disappointed. Prices are reasonable for its location in Zone 1. Banh mi was particularly delicious but the roasted meats I would also recommend and get again. The viet coffee also very tasty and tasted just like in Hanoi!

Karolina Sokolowska I chose this place to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and from our very first interaction with customer service to the end of the evening, it was an amazing experience. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. We ordered a variety of dishes, and while the main course (the pork chops) was fairly average, everything else was absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, as I didn’t expect this place to offer such high-quality food. The drinks menu was diverse and unique, with plenty of options to choose from, including wines and other beverages. The live music was another highlight of the night—it really enhanced the atmosphere and made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys live music and great food. The photos online truly don’t do it justice.
