- OTLondon •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoOnce we got in we was sat quickly and promptly served. The steak was out of this world, so flavoursome and tender. Gave my wife a little as they found out it was her birthday.More infoBlacklock SohoPrice: Moderate• Steak• Soho•4.7

- CRClaireRvipLondon •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoI always love the Ivy brasseurs but thought the front of house service last night was particularly excellent. We booked at short notice having been let down by the original venue we were meant to be eating in. The lady at the front desk was dealing with a very busy restaurant but looked after us so well until she could find space. We ate at the bar and had fabulous service. Of course, the food was delicious too. Thank you so much for a lovely night.More infoThe Ivy Soho BrasseriePrice: Expensive• Contemporary British• Soho•4.1
- OTOpenTable DinerLondon •1 review5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2023One of the best meals I've ever eaten... Came here for a birthday treat with my partner. Everything about the experience was perfect: from the hospitality at reception, the impeccable and friendly service in the bar and restaurant, to the food itself. It's not cheap (although the express menu is very good value) but represents good value for money in terms of the quantity and quality of the food. The steak and lobster were the highlights, but there's something mouth-watering on the menu for all appetites. Highly recommended for a special occasion.More infoHawksmoor Air StreetPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Piccadilly•4.5
- OTOpenTable DinerLondon •1 review5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2023From the moment we stepped inside, we were made to feel welcome. We arrived an hour early as we were starving and asked could we be seated.. it was no problem at all. We were served by a wonderful lady called Bruna, who is such a friendly, helpful, courteous and professional person. The food was outstanding… really delicious and plenty of it. The vibe is so cool there. The staff seem to have such good fun working there. Cannot wait to go back. Thanks for a wonderful experience.More infoHard Rock Cafe London Piccadilly CircusPrice: Moderate• American• Piccadilly•4.6

Discover London
If dining in the U.K. still evokes lackluster fish and chips or sorry boiled vegetables, it’s time for a trip. Call it the renaissance of British cuisine—from revived and updated bangers and mash to regional authentic Chinese, London has rewritten its own culinary story and now proudly bears the qualities of a veritable food destination. With a population of nearly 8.8 million people and one of the most popular airports in the world, the city is a bastion of cultural and culinary diversity, from an old world Parsi café and forage-forward tasting menus, to rethought English breakfasts and markets of all types. We’ll cheers to that.
