The Yards Covent Garden - (Near Westminster, london)

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.

Adrian Earp It was our first visit to Wahaca (Covent Garden), I had pre-booked as wasn’t sure how busy the restaurant got, although our booking was early 5pm, but it was a Friday evening in London! We were seated quickly and introduced to our server Paulina who was very knowledgeable and explained the menu in length. Drinks ordered and delivered quickly, Paulina then took our order; House Nachos were ordered to share, then 2 x Pibil Burrito and Slow-Cooked Beef Burrito, Buttermilk Chicken Taco, Pork Pibil Taco & Grilled Ajillo Chicken Club Quesadilla. The food was served as it was ready and it was fantastic or banging as our teenage boys say!

Nic Banister Well worth a visit to the one that started it all, somewhere Ive wanted to visit for a long time. Relatively small by modern standards inside but that just adds to the busy brasserie ambience. Exquisite design and layout with the bar down the middle with counter seating and normal tables every side (toilets near the entrance). Service excellent even through they were busy. Food exactly what you would expect - we enjoyed the fish and chips and pan fried sea bass. Deserts the classic chocolate bombe, rum baba and creme brulee (although would have preferred this a bit more crunchy on the top). Its a busy classic London brasserie and I completely recommend it!

Inderjeet Tak This is the first time I have visited this restaurant for my teams Christmas meal. Our group contained a bunch of carnivores, herbivores and some pescatarians. Everyone was very impressed with quality and quantity of the dishes the kitchen served. The restaurant was decorated with an awesome Christmas theme. The food was very tasty and everyone was very impressed with its quality and quantity. The service was quick and focused and the atmosphere was awesome. Loved it and would recommend without hesitation.

Phil Newman This place is not a pub serving food. Its a high end restaurant serving beer. Absolutely fantastic on every level. Service, decor, food and great beer and wine. Stunning venue and very traditionally English. Recommend this place for excellent food. Everything was tasty and the chefs know how to cook.

Alessandra Scotti We had a wonderful experience at Vasinikò. Despite it being a busy Saturday evening and us arriving without a booking, they still managed to find us a table straight away. I mentioned that I was feeling a bit cold, and they immediately adjusted the air-conditioning so it wouldn’t blow directly on me — such thoughtful service. I ordered a gluten‑free Margherita and it was absolutely outstanding. The tomato sauce was excellent quality: sweet, rich, and full of flavour. The pizza base was honestly the best gluten‑free one I’ve ever had — soft, elastic, light, and not heavy at all. You could really taste the quality of the extra virgin olive oil, and the fresh basil on top made it perfect. The service throughout the evening was courteous, quick, and genuinely caring. Our waiter checked on us often and made sure we were comfortable and happy. Overall, it was a really lovely experience. I would definitely recommend Vasinikò, especially if you need or prefer gluten‑free options.
