Cafe de Provence - (Near Westminster, london)

Natasha We walked in without a booking but this didn’t matter as we were immediately welcomed by our wonderful server Anuja. I had the chicken Pad Thai and duck spring rolls as a side, both tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend a visit here!

Your Next Food Trip The overall experience at restaurant 1890 was excellent, and I can now see why the restaurant was awarded 1 Michelin star. It’s almost hidden in a small section of the Savoy that’s luxurious in its own right. I had the lunch set at £90, which already includes 3 of the 5 dishes featured on the full tasting menu. Everything was excellent. It’s a great place to take a date.

Evelyn Wong We went there as a group of 10 and ordered three sharing mains from the chef’s larder which were all perfectly cooked. The monkfish mains (we ordered two) were a little bit on the drier side but overall well cooked. The starters were all delicious and beautifully plated - especially the quail egg tarts and scallop pie. The service was excellent. My family and I had a wonderful time.

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.

Amelia Bowles Just visited Oorja and was really impressed. The food is full of bold, fresh flavours, and the menu has some really thoughtful twists without trying too hard. The staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, modern feel. A great spot for a casual dinner or a pre-theatre meal — I’ll definitely be going back.

Bobby Valentine An exceptional New Year’s Day dinner at Rules. The food was outstanding from start to finish — classic British dishes done perfectly and full of flavor. Every course felt thoughtful and true to the restaurant’s long history, and I genuinely loved my meal. A special mention to Katerina, our waitress, who was warm, attentive, and professional without ever being intrusive. Her service really elevated the entire experience and made the evening feel relaxed and special. Rules continues to be one of those rare places that delivers on history, atmosphere, and quality every single time. We’ll absolutely be back.
