Opera Tavern - (Near Westminster, london)

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!

Caroline Manlove Wow. We had such a fantastic experience here. The vibes, service, food, everything was over the top. It was so nice being able to order anything as it was all gluten and dairy free. It was nice to feel normal and just order anything on the menu! We are so appreciative of our experience here and cannot recommend it enough!!

Abdellatif Lalmi A wonderful dining experience from beginning to end. Keerthana delivered outstanding service with genuine care and professionalism. She understood my dietary needs, confirmed details directly with the chef, and suggested excellent alternatives that suited me perfectly. Her knowledge of the menu and attention to detail were impressive. She engaged at the right moments while maintaining a comfortable sense of privacy. Ankit also stopped by to check on us, which made the experience feel personal and valued. Overall, it was a smooth, satisfying, and pleasantly surprising evening.

Bobby Valentine An exceptional New Year’s Day dinner at Rules. The food was outstanding from start to finish — classic British dishes done perfectly and full of flavor. Every course felt thoughtful and true to the restaurant’s long history, and I genuinely loved my meal. A special mention to Katerina, our waitress, who was warm, attentive, and professional without ever being intrusive. Her service really elevated the entire experience and made the evening feel relaxed and special. Rules continues to be one of those rare places that delivers on history, atmosphere, and quality every single time. We’ll absolutely be back.

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.

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.
