Simpsons in the Strand - (Near Westminster, South East)

Vee Lei 2 of us had 2 cocktails, a starter to shared, 2 mains and 2 desserts. Came up to +£100 I would love to take another friend to eat there again. Food looked good, tasted fabulous, left there with my belly full. So close to my work, I think I will be there very soon!

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.

Sim Birgin Located in the liveliest part of Covent Garden, it has a pleasant atmosphere. The food is delicious, especially the venison dishes, which are truly excellent. They have a wide variety of wines on their menu. The staff are attentive and friendly. The only downsides were the slightly long waiting times before and after ordering. It might be a good idea to be aware of this during busy times.

Eletta Mamma mia! Da Mario made me feel like I’d stepped straight into Italy. The staff and cooks are authentically Italian, and their warmth and charm set the tone for a meal that was pure magic. The lasagna was layered bliss. The chicken; cutlet style, crisp and tender, was comfort incarnate. The arrabbiata had a creamy but fiery kiss, and the espresso? Bold, velvety, and soul-awakening. Each dish was a food orgasm in its own right. Even the bathroom cleanliness was next level; every detail cared for with pride. Friendly, passionate, and deliciously divine, Da Mario didn’t just feed me; it transported me. I’ll be dreaming of it for days. Complimenti a tutti!

David Stephens These are my views based on my experience The moment we arrived we could see this is a well run restaurant. Our drinks and meals were excellent, good portions and well priced. All the team were polite and helpful. The only let down were the toilets, they need to be checked more often, I used them once and it was a mess, tissues allover the floor and wash bowls. My wife said the same about the ladies toilets too. I did notice the downstairs dinning area, so bigger gatherings are well catered for. Thank you all at Cote, we will be back.

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.
