Restaurant Reviews

118 Talbot Road, London W11 1JR

This small 12-seater sushi bar comes from the team behind Dorian, and it's only just across the road from that restaurant. A walk-in-only affair, it's a casual sushi bar, albeit one with perhaps the highest quality sushi in the area. The wine list is also impressive, mainly as it's the same one as Dorian itself.

26-29 Drury Lane, London WC2B 5RL

This very fancy-looking Covent Garden bistro comes from Stevie Parle, the man behind Joy at Portobello. Here, he's championing seasonality and regenerative farming, all in an extremely futuristic-looking setting. The bar here is also a big draw and the whole set-up is different from anything else you'll find in Covent Garden.

35 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7LB

One of London's oldest restaurants, there has been a Rules serving food in and around this part of Covent Garden since 1798. Here is where you come if you're after history and classic British dishes, served well. The upstairs cocktail bar is legendary.

28-34 St. Martin's Court, London WC2N 4AL

Often seen as both the theatregoers and the actors' port of call post-theatre, Sheekeys is a London institution. It remains best known for its seafood, including an incredible fish pie which is still one of the best in London. A must-visit for every Londoner and notably great for counter dining, as well as its extensive, covered terrace.
