Slingsby Francis E. (Jon Paul Allen) Nipped in for a quick breakfast while staying at the nearby Travelodge. Had a lovely vegetarian breakfast. Friendly service, and a nice atmosphere.

Kerry Sieger My sister and I went to Brasserie Blanc on a whim. French just sounded better than Italian, which had been our original plan. We are so glad we went! Everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was wonderful. I had escargots and sautéed mushrooms and artichoke hearts, finished with an apple tart. My sister had pate and pan fried trout finished with pistachio soufflé. We both had a glass of wine (Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon blanc, respectively). Every bit of the food was delicious. And the service! I jokingly mentioned to the waiter that I thought the vegan mushrooms and artichokes would taste better sautéed in butter, and he must have spoken to the chef because voila there was a distinct butter taste to my meal! The hostess was very friendly too, telling us the signature dessert (pistachio soufflé) and also mentioning the loyalty program at the restaurant (Le Club), which gave us a 25% discount. My sister and I enjoyed both the food and the service so much we’re planning to return tomorrow night, our last night in London, to try all the foods we didn’t get a chance to try tonight. I highly recommend Brasserie Blanc, especially the Chancery Lane location!

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.

khan zerin3 It really amazing service. I like this pizza so good .i would recommend Come to here and enjoy delicious food and drinks .

J S Very nice and cozy little french restaurant. Pleasant service and really good choice across all the main French classics. A bit on the pricier side but its in Covent Garden so understandable.

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.
