Barbican Cafe - (Near City of London, london)

Joe Benyamine Highly recommend this place! The Pad Thai and overall Thai food were absolutely delicious. Mesi was incredibly welcoming, happy to give great options, and very friendly throughout our visit. Her service made the experience even better. I’m very satisfied and full of compliments—thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Darsha D Coming here requires a bit of strategy. You don’t just turn up casually. Either don’t eat all day or arrive with the appetite of a small army. I’m not kidding. The place itself is stunning, full of old school charm. The Bloody Mary was, appropriately, bloody good. And the food? Divine. One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in a long time. The Yorkshire pudding was a proper “oh my god” moment, the gravy was rich and glorious, and everything else from the meat to the veggies (do not miss the potatoes like everyone mentions!) was spot on. The only tragedy of the day was that I couldn’t finish my plate, which felt like a personal failure. Honestly, just go already.

Ralphie This was my venue of choice for our Sunday lunch before leaving London to head home. May I pat myself on the back? A cracking old pub serving excellent food, across our group we had three different roasts with all of them receiving praise. The service was brilliant and I really have nothing but praise for the staff, food and drinks. Try it out.

Libor Koláčný I arrived at Fare expecting a round pizza. A simple, predictable disc. Instead, they brought me this... this enormous, folded, tomato-bleeding leather pouch. It looked like a giant’s lost slipper. My colleagues laughed. "You’ll never finish that," they whispered, as if I hadnt spent years training for this very moment. Poor fools. I attacked the Calzone like a man with a grudge. Prosciutto, mushrooms, cheese—everything tucked inside like a delicious secret. It was a breeze. In fact, it was so easy I had to jump over and finish my colleagues Quattro Formaggi just to feel something. My stomach was 90% dough, I could barely move, and I’ve never been happier. Top marks.

Warrick Brown Cracking evening at the Bouch. The flavour in general in the food has some of the best depth I’ve tasted in French cooking. Staff are attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Atmosphere was great, bustling but not cramped, very convivial. It’s pricey and the portion sizes are on the small side, but the quality is there.

Mad Buy We saw great reviews of the place and decided to try it out after days of Scottish food. The drinks were tasty, had excellent presentation, and were filled to the rim. Evey dish, from the garlic naan, special fried rice, Green Tikka, Saag Paneer, Butter Chicken, Vegetable Samosa to Chicken Biryani, was savory, hot, and absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and courteous. Overall, we are happy to have eaten here on our first night in London.
