Mildreds Covent Garden - (Near Westminster, london)

Abbiline Mendosa Had a lovely time at Crudo. We were a table of 4 and ordered the Crudo tasting menu and the Vegetarian tasting menu. Very decent portion sizes, superb presentation, and the food was delicious, particularly the chicken nduja and tuna tiradito. Service was great too, very friendly.

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.

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!

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.

Adi Harneja We had a fantastic visit to Din Tai Fung in Covent Garden. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and every dish we ordered was delicious. The hot and sour chili soup was a standout. It was hot, comforting, and even better when paired with their signature spicy sauce. The crispy chicken and vegetable wontons were perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, and we also loved the vegetable jiao zi, chicken dumplings, and chicken gyoza. The string beans with garlic were incredibly tasty as well. We finished our meal with the chocolate mochi and sea salt caramel dessert, the perfect sweet ending. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a lovely dining experience!

Y M We had a fantastic evening at Hawksmoor Seven Dials and everything came together perfectly — great food, excellent wine, and genuinely warm service. We started with the beetroot salad, which was fresh, light, and full of flavour. The highlight of the meal was the 450g Chateaubriand, cooked exactly as requested — beautifully tender, rich, and clearly top-quality beef. The sides were just as enjoyable: the beef dripping chips were crisp and indulgent, the spinach with lemon added a lovely freshness, the garlic mushrooms were full of flavour, and the Tunworth mash was wonderfully creamy. The bone marrow gravy tied everything together perfectly. The seasonal pavlova was light, balanced, and a delicious way to finish the meal. A special thank you to Scott, the sommelier, who recommended a superb Rasteau Bressy Masson wine — a fantastic pairing with the steak. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and very professional. Our waiter Adam was also excellent throughout the evening: friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything was just right. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience with outstanding food and service. We will definitely be returning.
