They have a potato menu. I should probably just stop there. What else do you need to know, right?…read more I came for dinner at the Jones Family Project with a friend on a very cold winter's night and we were warmly welcome the moment we arrived. Our host lead us downstairs to a comfortable booth. I stuck with sides (£3.50 each): Roasted Brussels sprouts with avocados and pecans, truffled macaroni cheese and big chips (from the potato menu, of course). I also sampled some of my pal's calamari which was very tasty. For dessert, we both enjoyed the orange tart with crème fraîche, pistachios and cinnamon saffron syrup. I don't think I've received nicer service anywhere in London and the restaurant's soundtrack totally rocks. I'd make this my local if I lived in London!

Met my crew on this cold Saturday morning for our brunch session. JFP doesn't disappoint. Entry: bright, welcoming, few leaflets & notices of the neighborhood. Drinks: Every one we had was on point! Food: Yummy, tasty & appropriate sizes (aka you won't be hungry by the time the bill comes) it's also worth noting that I had the French Toast. Other places I've been make it sickly sweet.. Not in here. It's all good & proper crispy bacon! CRISP!! Service: always with a smile. Never intrusive & helpful with drink selections. Atmosphere: Bright, pretty, cosy, homey, cool, laid back. Yes, all those trendy buzz words. JFP has an upstairs bar/brasserie which is lovely & reminded me of an indoor floral art space. Tables are appropriately spaced. Downstairs is the restaurant which is quite big too. Toilets: clean but a few stalls missing loo roll (minus a star) Overall, this is a winner. We'll be coming back.

Five stars for a quaint restaurant tucked away in the Mayfair area. We actually just stumbled upon…read moreThe Little Square while looking for lunch. Fair warning, it is very small but definitely worth it. FOOD: Pricing was on par with other restaurants in the area (£58 for two people). I ordered a fruit tea, French onion soup, and mushroom risotto. (Note: If you want chicken, it's an extra £4.60.) The French onion hit the spot, and I really appreciated the baguette used in the soup. My risotto was really nicely cooked, and I don't think it really needed chicken. My friend also ordered the French onion, but she got an earl gray tea, spinach and goat cheese tart, and sticky toffee cake. All of the food was delicious. The portions were very generous - especially for the entrees. I wish we could have carried out the rest of leftovers, but our hotel didn't have a fridge. Lastly, the dessert was delicious. My favorite part was the toffee surrounding the cake, which was a bit dense for my liking. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. SERVICE: Our servers were strllar, though I wish I could remember their names, which weren't on the receipt. Great job being attentive and helpful in being knowledgeable about their menu. LOCATION & AMBIANCE: Definitely off the beaten path, but well worth the slight detour. It's in a quaint area. The windows were left open, which let in the smokers' cigarette smoke, but we just moved tables away from the window. I'm not sure if they have an upstairs. I would not mind going back. Great find on my most recent European adventure.

We didn't see the upstairs area, but downstairs was intimate and tiny. We had bread, which was…read moretasty but would have been excellent if warmed up a bit and served with softened butter, as the butter was quite hard. We both tried the evening's special.

Returning to the OXO Tower after more than two decades was a nostalgic experience. My first visit…read morein 2002 with my wife left a lasting impression, and this time, I was eager to share the memory with my son during our English football trip to London on Sunday October 5, 2025. The views from the south bank of the Thames remain unmatched--truly the best spot I've ever dined in London. Looking out over the city, it's hard to imagine a better vantage point. But the experience is more than just the scenery; the service was impeccable. Both our waitress and the sommelier were attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was memorable as well. I started with the Surrey courgette carpaccio, which surprised me as a vegan dish--full of flavor and delicious. For my main, I had the Welsh lamb with haggis-boulangère potato, onion, and sage sauce. It was outstanding! We paired our meal with a bottle of French wine from their thorough catalog, choosing a modestly priced option and skipping the Château Margaux this time. Although we didn't have room for dessert, the menu offered plenty of choices. Overall, the food was delicious, the views legendary, and the service and ambiance made the experience complete. I wish I could visit this place more often!

Reminds me of some of my favorite New York, Vancouver, Vegas, L.A. trendy restaurants. I've now visited this restaurant multiple times, and have had almost everything on the menu. Nothing disappoints! The Sunday roast is one of the best in town (according to me - an American, and my British boyfriend). I recently had the Salmon Ceviche (which I usually avoid when I'm not exactly in a "seafood town/city"), and it was light, delicate, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Can't wait to eat that again. They are constantly changing the menu, based on the seasons and trends (they offers Veganuary!), so you'll find new bites in addition to the ones you already love, when returning here. 4 seating/dining areas; entry bar & lounge, outdoor patio, small indoor/daytime seating adjacent to glass wall patio, back "fireplace" seating room, and the underground brick "tunnel" (my favorite), which used to act as a passage way for the Camden stables. I, personally, recommend this restaurant to all my friends (especially those who are foodies, looking for a thoughtful, well-executed, non-pub meal), all of whom have either been back or have been eager to return. Don't be deterred if you pop in and the restaurant is empty/slow! They have a lot of private events/bookings, celebrity dinner buy-outs and odd busy-seasons. Your meal will, hopefully, still be delicious and memorable. Dog friendly too! Like... my dog sits with me in the dining area (not just one of those "dogs only in the bar portion" places).

I noticed this place is not far away and we decided to to try it out. What a pleasant surprise. The lunch menu had three starters, three main courses and two choices of desert in them. The food was excellent, really really. And at 12,50 for a main course not expensive at all. We also tried some apple cider that the owner recommended that was fantastic. The Internet works well, and the toilets are clean. Note: this restaurant is in a basement but with a lot of light. Just that there is no 'view' if that is important to you.

I strolled in sans reservation on a Saturday night and luckily was able to be seated (perks of traveling solo?) however recommend making a reservation as the place is quite small in size. Service was friendly and attentive. The staff seems to work together to ensure costumer satisfaction. For beverages, there is a list of speciality or classic cocktails, some beers, limited wines by the glass, and a more extensive wines by the bottle list. I was delighted with my gin based cocktail from their speciality menu. Not sure if this is a London thing or just in my case but water was free... the still seems to be tap as many tables had metal refillable carafes. I chose sparking and was pleasantly surprised when the bill came and I was not charged. The plating of food is beautifully presented. I order the Market fish entree. The one star down is due to the fact I was told it was halibut today as they had a few more before they switched to serving salmon. Once my order came out it was indeed salmon, would have been nice to give me notice in case I wanted to change my order based on the unavailability. Worthy of mention is the automatically added 12% gratuity to your bill as the menu does not disclose this.

We had a couple of missed food moments in London (two-hour wait for Dishoom, Bumpkin Notting Hill…read moreclosing down, etc.), but we were very glad that the Laughing Gravy came through. A quick walk down Blackfriars Road, Laughing Gravy is a cute restaurant with a beautiful dining area and bar. The menu is offers dishes that infuse the essence of traditional British food with new-style cooking. I decided to start the meal with their spin on Scotch Eggs - with scallops and squid on a bed of arugula and seaweed. Very unique - and the flavors worked very well together! I don't think I'll be able to find another scotch egg like that one. For my main, I got the fowl with mustard sauce and white beans. Savory and just SO good. Every bite. Delicious. Great meal. Pricey, but it's to be expected. Quite, quite good.

Order the fish and chips - so good and such a large portion. If I was in this area I would be a regular customer here. The service was great as well. We celebrated a friends birthday on that day so we ordered a dessert. All of the servers joined us in singing Happy Birthday and were happy to do so. Thanks for a lovely experience. If I am ever back in the area, I'd be sure to visit again.

Quick glance: + great for large parties…read more+ good food + good lunch venue + traditional pub grub with modern presentation The Duke & Duchess is a stone throw away from St Paul's Cathedral and makes a great lunch spot for tourists. But perhaps its location on a side street means it's not swamped by people reading maps, which is great news for local city workers for lunch looking for either light bites or bigger meals at a reasonable price. The food itself is served in a modern way but without the pretension. The chef takes great care in the freshness of ingredients and quality of overall meal. At my last visit I had a fishcake which was mostly fish, not full of mushy potato. The venue is also fantastic for larger parties as they can push the tables together to accommodate virtually any sized group, and yet you don't feel claustrophobic even when there are several parties going on at once (as it was the case during my last visit just before Christmas). It's also a great place to catch up one on one with friends, with a selection of drinks and wine on offer.
