El Takoy - (Near Westminster, london)

Moe Homer Ha Lovely. Had lunch with friends - never been, always go past while I’m in the area. Had the charcuterie to share and the confit pork belly as the main. Everything was lovely!

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!

Matthew Richardson Incredible! We had heard good things about this place. There was a bit of a queue but we decider to wait it out. Certainly glad we did! The queue went down really quick and the food was incredible!! All 4 of us have said how nice the food was and we all had different dishes. A lot of choice and wish we could visit more often to try it all. 5/5!!

Eletta Mamma mia! Da Mario made me feel like I’d stepped straight into Italy. The staff and cooks are authentically Italian, and their warmth and charm set the tone for a meal that was pure magic. The lasagna was layered bliss. The chicken; cutlet style, crisp and tender, was comfort incarnate. The arrabbiata had a creamy but fiery kiss, and the espresso? Bold, velvety, and soul-awakening. Each dish was a food orgasm in its own right. Even the bathroom cleanliness was next level; every detail cared for with pride. Friendly, passionate, and deliciously divine, Da Mario didn’t just feed me; it transported me. I’ll be dreaming of it for days. Complimenti a tutti!

Tony Mccarthy Just had a fantastic New Years Eve 4 course meal here. Every single course was fantastic. My partner and Father thought the same. The ceviche was delicuous, as was the carpaccio. The prawns were knockout, and the calamari was also a delight. The steaks were cooked to perfection, and the seabass was also spot on. Both desserts were also magnificent. Ibrahim, Mathues and Lisa provided 10/10 service. The manager (whose name we didnt get) was also very accommodating getting us a table for drinks in the bar, given it is New Years Eve and very busy, we definitely appreciate that. 100% recommend and would definitely come back.

Genevieve Segall The soufflé and snail bolognaise were incredible. Rotisserie chicken was delicious. Perfectly balanced dishes that we enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere. Slight issue with one of the courses and they dealt with it diligently and courteously so felt very taken care off. It’s lovely and so are the staff. Can’t recommend enough. It’s an experience worth having.
