The Anthologist - (Near City of London, london)

5 /5 Angela VL: Beautifully decorated with a sleek, modern design and a clean, open view of the bar area. The service was attentive and friendly, which made the experience pleasant. We tried a few starters, honestly, they were underwhelming, so I’d suggest going for the larger plates, which might be their stronger point. Prices are reasonable for the setting, and overall it’s worth a visit.

1 /5 Rico Razzo: Utter abomination of a meal. For £56!!! They’re laughing at us. Beetroot smoked salmon? Two wisps of it, only really detected with a magnifying glass. Crayfish salad? Invisible sea-monkeys more like. Ok soggy bread to boot.’and how about ice cold roast turkey with a shivering no-bacon pig in blanket, and gravy as watery as water. Under-cooked parsnips. The cheesecake was kind of ok. Music so loud you can’t hear the person next to you shout and service so slow our first drinks arrived way after the first course had been served. Utterly shocking. This place should be ashamed of themselves.

5 /5 kanika choudhary: The Anthologist is one of those rare places that strikes the perfect balance between atmosphere, flavor, and hospitality. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, stylish setting that feels both relaxed and refined — the kind of place that works equally well for a casual lunch, after-work drinks, or a special dinner. The menu is creative without being pretentious. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted — fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and beautiful presentation. The small plates are ideal for sharing (the [insert a dish you liked, e.g., Korean-fried cauliflower or truffle mac & cheese] was a standout), and the cocktails are exceptional — well-balanced, inventive, and beautifully served. Service is another strong point. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They’re always happy to offer recommendations, which makes the experience feel personal rather than formulaic. Whether you’re there for brunch, cocktails, or dinner, The Anthologist delivers every time. It’s stylish but not stuffy, vibrant but comfortable — a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy great food and good company. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended.

4 /5 A Kaner: We had a dinner and a group get together after that with around 50 people. We enjoyed the food. I forgot her name but a Romanian waiter helped to our table, she is very friendly and attentive. I also liked the decor, it was very on point with the holiday season.

5 /5 Lynnette Paddy: Excellent venue with a great vibe. I met a friend here for midweek drinks and small plates, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was lively, the service attentive, and we even received a great wine recommendation. The food was outstanding, and we’ll definitely be returning. I love the bar and dining area, and even the toilets were impressive! The décor and lighting throughout are beautiful, making it a perfect spot for a date night too.
