Restaurant Reviews

16a Bedford Street, London WC2E 9HE

This is the fourth Blacklock restaurant and one of their biggest. Here you can expect everything they're best known for - great value chops, big steaks and lots and lots of gravy. There are also some amazing pies and ordering something from the cocktail trolley is a must.

11 Langley St, London WC2H 9JG

Located in the old Watney-Combe brewery, complete with original vaulted brick ceiling, this Hawskmoor restaurant looks as though it's been down this narrow Covent Garden street forever. As with all their restaurants, it's the place to go for an excellent steak and there's a pretty big bar here too if you fancy popping in for one of their renowned cocktails.

28 Bow St, Covent Garden, London WC2E 7AT

Once a boutique hotel group, this is now the only NoMad hotel, but it retains its style and combines a world-class bar in Side Hustle (the cocktails are truly excellent) with one of the best-looking restaurants in London. That's been reinvented as Twenty8 NoMad, a take on a New York-style brasserie with notably excellent steaks, while also retaining its signature truffle chicken meal.

2 Burleigh Street London WC2E 7PX

This long-running Covent Garden restaurant has moved from its original location, but somehow looks almost identical. There's a brasserie menu but made sure you order their excellent burger (it's not listed on the menu - you have to be in the know).
