Ham Yard Restaurant & Bar - (Near Westminster, South East)

Alena Chez Antoinette is a little slice of Paris. We celebrated my mother-in-law’s birthday there this month and for a moment truly felt as though we had been transported to France. The interior is beautiful, full of charm and warmth, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. The food was absolutely moreish — most of us ordered the duck confit, which was one of the best I’ve ever had, perfectly crisp on the outside and tender within. The beef bourguignon was equally delicious, rich and full of flavour. A wonderful place for a special occasion — we’ll definitely be back.

Roy Denish I was searching for a place to Enjoy a genuine English breakfast, I came across Cafe Ole accidentally on Google maps. The experience was absolutely mesmerizing. Despite being crowded and the chaos was promptly seated and enjoyed a fantastic breakfast. Also happened to try out the Turkish eggs with youghurt coupled with chillies oil. It was fantastic experience.

roberto tirloni As good as it gets! The premium set menu was outstanding. Everything was beautifully presented and incredibly tasty. The whole experience was fantastic and the staff provided excellent service, making my girlfriend’s birthday truly special and memorable

Zoya Qaiyum As a tourist, I have eaten fish and chips at typical touristy spots but have always felt the fish and batter to be bland and the vinegar not so flavourful. I ordered the fish and chips meal from this restaurant after smelling a really good vinegar scent from another order. The portion size was huge, as I couldn’t finish it by myself, and the batter along with the fish was very flavourful. I didn’t need to use a lot of tartar sauce and the vinegar was extremely tasty on the chips. Highly recommend this place!

Dev Desai Many thanks to the team at The Crown for making the arrangements for our son’s 10th-birthday gathering of 17 guests so effortless from start to finish. The staff and management handled it with calm good humour and quiet efficiency. The private room had been beautifully prepared well in advance (see photos), spacious enough for everyone to mingle and chat comfortably rather than feel marooned at opposite ends of a long table. It struck exactly the right balance between celebratory and relaxed. The place is perfect to get people together. A small but charming touch was the way the servers arrived announcing whose dish they were carrying, which our guests found both helpful and oddly delightful. It gave the whole service a lightly personalised feel. Send a spreadsheet of diners and choices in advance to make this happen. The Crown team, led by David, were warm, attentive and accommodating throughout. Thank you for making it such a happy afternoon for our family. We’re lucky indeed to have such a fine food-led tavern so close to home.

Jacob Turmey Lovely Italian restaurant, just outside of Victoria coach and bus station. Amazing food, great value for money! A little quiet for what I would expect, but our hostess Kata was attentive, friendly and on hand to refill our drinks as needed! Would highly recommend Sicily!
