Water Chung This was my first time experiencing a dining-in-the-dark restaurant, and it also happened to be a birthday celebration, which made it even more special. The entire experience felt fresh, unique, and surprisingly enjoyable. Our guide and server, Michael, was extremely professional and reassuring. His clear guidance helped ease any initial fear or discomfort of dining in complete darkness, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. The quality of the food was excellent, and dining in the dark created a unique opportunity to focus purely on flavors and textures. It was also interesting and enjoyable to interact with others in the darkness, which added an unexpected social element to the evening. What truly surprised us was how time passed so quickly when we were fully focused on the food and conversation. It was a genuinely pleasant, memorable, and highly satisfying dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different and meaningful.

ali kurshat altinsoy St John is an institution of a restaurant worldwide. Fergus Henderson literally changed the way we eat since opening this destination. absolutely iconic and always a wonderful, fun, delicious experience. an incredible space in itself, terrific vibes and an ever-changing menu means this is somewhere you can return again and again for every occasion.

Neil Davis This is a wonderful Italian restaurant that preserves the traditions of some of my favourite Italian eateries of days gone by - Vitello doro, Topo Gigio, The Florence on Villiers Street.... Hearty Italian food, large plates and excellent service in a happy friendly atmosphere. I ate the largest piece of veal Ive ever seen served with Spaghetti Pomodoro, my two companions had a Tuna Salad and the Merluzzo respectively. As youll see from the photos, my first thoughts were to tuck in before I remembered to get the camera out!! More than simply eating...

Vitor Barros Had a great lunch here. Top notch ingredients, creative preparations and amazing flavours. Service was friendly and attentive. The sommelière was very helpful. Would certainly come back when in London.

Ralphie This was my venue of choice for our Sunday lunch before leaving London to head home. May I pat myself on the back? A cracking old pub serving excellent food, across our group we had three different roasts with all of them receiving praise. The service was brilliant and I really have nothing but praise for the staff, food and drinks. Try it out.

Anatori Sealife We stumbled upon Exmouth Market quite by chance yesterday and were delighted to find a familiar and trusted name – GAIL’s Bakery. It felt like a small reward after wandering through the charming street with its lively atmosphere and mix of cafés and shops. GAIL’s is one of those places where you know what to expect: reliable quality, friendly service, and a welcoming environment. This particular branch lived up to that reputation. The moment we stepped inside, the aroma of freshly baked bread and pastries set the tone. The staff were attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm, which made the experience even more pleasant. We ordered tea, coffee, a cinnamon bun, and a blueberry custard brioche – all staples for us when visiting GAIL’s. The drinks were spot-on: the tea brewed to the right strength, and the coffee had a lovely balance of flavour and depth. The cinnamon bun was just the way it should be – soft, slightly sticky, with just the right amount of sweetness. The blueberry custard brioche was a true highlight, with a creamy, indulgent filling complemented by the freshness of the fruit. The space itself is bright and comfortable, perfect for a short break or even a longer sit-down if you want to watch the world go by outside. The buzz of Exmouth Market adds to the charm, making it not just a bakery visit but part of a wider experience of this vibrant corner of London. Overall, this branch of GAIL’s reinforced why the brand is so well loved. Consistent quality, great bakes, and a calm, enjoyable setting – exactly what you hope for when you come across a trusted name in a new part of the city. Highly recommended.
