Hande Tosuner I stopped by Embankment Cafe Bistro the other day, and it was such a pleasant surprise. The location is perfect—right in the middle of Victoria Embankment Gardens, so you get this peaceful vibe with greenery all around. The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome right away. Service was quick, and they were happy to answer questions or make recommendations, which was nice. Cocktails! Refreshing! Atmosphere is Like a cozy garden party with better food. Food-wise, everything was fresh and tasty. Definitely worth checking out if youre in the area and want something in good quality.

Leicester Eats & Sips The Punch and Judy pub in Covent Garden is a real hidden gem with so much history behind it. The pub is named after the famous Punch and Judy shows, which have long been part of Covent Garden’s cultural heritage, and you can really feel that sense of history when you are there. It is part of the Greene King chain, but it does not feel generic at all. The drinks are reasonably priced, especially for such a central London location, and the food looks absolutely delicious. There is also a great selection of beers on offer. One of the highlights is the balcony seating where you can sit, relax and watch the entertainment and atmosphere of Covent Garden below. There is not a huge amount of space on the balcony, but that just adds to its charm. It really feels like a place you would miss unless you know where to look, as it is slightly tucked away and easy to walk past. A brilliant little addition to Covent Garden, especially in the summer, with character, history and good value for money.

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.

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

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!!

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!
