The Trading House - (Near City of London, South East)

R We tried almost everything on the menu. The food was mostly delicious with a good mix of Spanish and Japanese flavours. The standouts were the crystal prawn tempura, Suffolk pork chop, Rubia Gallega steak, and the miso yuzu cheesecake. I do think a few of the dishes were a bit lacking in flavour and quality however. Service was great - the staff were attentive and friendly, and the restaurant space itself is elegant and well-decorated

Patrick Carr Right. The food is spectacular. If you can, try and sit at the bar where amazing Fatou is a waitress. She made genuinely stonkingly good recommendations that were perfect in terms of what we were looking for at lunch. She also looked after us so well. Wagyu gyoza (prepare to fight whoever you’re with for them), snow crab (my wife loved), JFC (my fave, get the spicy version). The chocolate and citrus mizumono dessert is also very special. My Mrs isn’t bothered about anything chocolate-y but thought it was great. I’m a choco-holic and agreed. PS - Electric Diner (just across the room) is great too. Chicken Waffles in on Friday ace. PPS - Stick around and go to the main Ned bar. They play really great live music in the evenings, on the stage (see pics).

A Ferna Probably one of the best meals Ive had this year. Before you even decide what you are going to try you get three little appetisers which get you excited for the rest of the meal to come. We tried the tasting menu and it didnt disappoint. Each dish was expertly plated and beyond delicious (this includes the warm freshly baked bread.) My favourite was the tuna tartare but all of the dishes were wonderful. The service is attentive and well timed; the pace is relaxed without feeling drawn out. You never feel rushed when eating there is an attention to detail that makes dining here special.

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.

Zsuzsanna Hatvani We had an exceptional experience at Coq d’Argent. From the moment we arrived, everything felt polished, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant. The setting alone is special, but the food truly elevates it. Each dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavour, refined French cooking executed with precision and creativity. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, the balance of flavours was spot on, and every course felt thoughtfully crafted. It’s rare to find a menu that is both classic and exciting at the same time. The service was equally outstanding. Attentive without being intrusive, professional yet warm, exactly what you hope for in a restaurant of this calibre. A special thank you to Kayes, who looked after us brilliantly. He was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely made our evening even more enjoyable. His recommendations were spot on, and he struck the perfect balance between friendly and refined service. A flawless dining experience in every sense. We’ll absolutely be returning and recommending to everyone we know.

Ja Pi What an evening and view! You are overlooking the Tower of London and the bridge. This is a very small venue with only 12 seats. You are catered to throughout the entire experience. I love they offer both wine and a 50/50 alcohol/non-alcohol experience. We began with several small bites before the culinary journey began. Every bite was carefully curated and the chefs provided detailed descriptions for each plate. The standout dishes of the evening were the lamb course and the final sweet dish showcasing strawberries. We absolutely loved the experience!
