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.

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.

Andy Ikoyi has such a distinguished reputation it can only really disappoint. Im pleased to say it didnt. Ours was a menu of delicious little taste bombs with one slightly more substantial dish featuring their smoked jollof (dont get excited Ghanians, its not real jollof but it is delicious anyway). As hoped, the food was the star of the show and each course really did impress with the flavours, textures and presentation. I found the desserts werent as good as the starters and mains but thats probably more to do with my palate preferences than anything else. From reviews Id read I was expecting an African themed menu which isnt really the case, its more of a fusion menu with inspiration from all over (including the golden continent). The restaurant itself is a wonderfully designed space with exceptional ambience, it had atmosphere and moody charm without too much buzz or pretentiousness which is hard to achieve. The staff were also great; professional, warm and attentive without being over the top. It is madly expensive but if fine dining is your thing, its money well spent.

D C Situated in the luxurious Corinthia Hotel in Westminster, this place did not disappoint from the moment we walked in. The decor, lighting, table setting and general ambience especially after dark spells class. Service was fantastic and their seasonal menu was good too. If you are in the mood, head over to the bar next to the restaurant for great live band and cocktails to end the evening.

Christopher Villegas If you enjoy eclectic, odd, unconventional places in London, this checks all the boxes. Starting from the street, you can already tell this place is going to be special. When you open the door, your first reaction should be WOW! It reminds me of being on stage and backstage all at once. If there is room in one of the box seat tables, ask for them as you get a fantastic vantage point of the entire restaurant. The food is delicious and does follow the Mediterranean inspired menu. Some of the items are large enough to enjoy on their own without having to do the preset course. The bathrooms have explicit and sexual visuals so if you’re bringing kids, be ready to do some explaining. There are usually live performances daily and typically in the evening hours. Plan accordingly. They also cater to large parties so depending on time/date, they might be completely booked. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful when it came to ordering items off the drink and food menu. There is a tribute area to Richard, who seemed to be the spirit of the restaurant. If you have some time, be sure to look at the tribute area near the entrance.
