The Stage at The Londoner - (Near Westminster, london)

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.

Tim Danton Ive just spent a fantastic evening here. Fantastic food from start to finish, excellent service and the atmosphere down in the basement was a lot of fun -almost like being at a party as it was so relaxed. We skipped the starters and dived straight into the main course - perfectly cooked pasta, tasty sauces, great presentation. The wine was top quality and excellent value, but it was the desserts that made the evening. Congratulations to everyone involved. We had to wait 30 minutes for a place at the bar, but it was so worth it.

J GONCALVES My first time visiting itsu and I was not disappointed. The service was ok and the food is not that expensive but I did not feel full after eating, it felt more like a snack than actually a meal (portions can be small) personal opinion. Only 2 toilets, one was closed and the other really smelled. I’m gonna give it another try in the future, the menu has a variety of different options that I’m interested in.

MARK NIEMIERKO A sensational return. Simpson’s is back and London is better for it. An unmistakable, yet understated energy fills the building. Fabulous food, proper atmosphere and a sense of occasion, naturally. What made the evening particularly wonderful was seeing so many familiar faces from the London hospitality world working the floor. It felt like a gathering of the industry’s greats coming home. Simpson’s is magnificent.

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.

Abdellatif Lalmi A wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. Keerthana delivered outstanding service with genuine care and professionalism. She understood my dietary needs, confirmed details directly with the chef, and suggested excellent alternatives that suited me perfectly. Her knowledge of the menu and attention to detail were impressive. She engaged at the right moments while maintaining a comfortable sense of privacy. Ankit also stopped by to check on us, which made the experience feel personal and valued. Overall, it was a smooth, satisfying, and pleasantly surprising evening.
