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.

Sunday Roast is a British tradition and you can find it at many of the pubs around town. We figured…read moreso many pubs would offer it, but we didn't realize how in demand it was. We went to 3 other pubs and were turned away for a variety of reasons before a success attempt at Sunday Roast at The Three Crowns. Staff was friendly and welcoming. There was a comfortable amount of space and spacing between the tables. The bathrooms, located downstairs, were well maintained and clean. My boyfriend and I shared The Rump of Beef (£22.50) Sunday Roast and it was INCREDIBLE. Wow if I lived here I might try to eat a Sunday roast every weekend. Our rump of beef came with roasted potatoes, carrots, greens, pickled red cabbage, a huge Yorkshire pudding and gravy on the side. Wow! A Magnificent meal that I am still reminiscing of. Every component of the meal was well executed and it tasted even better as a whole. My only complaint if I needed to make a complaint is how they had really dull knifes and it was hard to cut into the rump of beef. Highly recommended for the Sunday Roast meal! Until next time!

Mayfair can become grand very quickly. Embassies, private clubs, discreet fortunes, and immaculate…read moretownhouses fill the neighborhood, along with some of the most polished and affected people on earth. During a work assignment in London, I spent my days inside that world and many evenings at The Footman, the pub that defined the chapter. Its name always felt perfect: the working figure moving through the machinery of wealth, then finally stopping somewhere warm for a pint. What I still love most about London is the seriousness of pub culture. Someone would have a beer with you on almost any night of the week, including Monday, and The Footman became our regular place near the office. We occasionally drifted over to The Punch Bowl, then co-owned by Guy Ritchie and naturally a little flashier, but The Footman felt more functional, local, and authentically ours. It never needed celebrity ownership or manufactured exclusivity to feel important. Outside, especially during the colder months, groups gathered with large beers while the evening air sharpened around us. For a few hours, titles and career trajectories lost their importance, and we became ambitious young friends from different countries learning about one another. The London office felt far more internationally varied than the professional environments I knew in New York, where even diverse groups often shared the same universities, neighborhoods, and assumptions. Those conversations gave the assignment much of its richness, and The Footman created the conditions for them without forcing anything. Inside, dark wood, worn leather, generous windows, fresh flowers, and highly capable bartenders give the pub real warmth. The red brick exterior and black awnings suit Mayfair perfectly, while the room feels cared for rather than polished into lifelessness. I remember the pints far more clearly than the food, although I probably ordered chips at some point to steady the evening. This was a proper working pub, but never a gloomy or neglected one. Relative to its surroundings, The Footman also performs an important civic function. Mayfair has no shortage of members-only rooms and venues where a drink can become a declaration of wealth, while this pub asks only that you arrive, order something, find your people, and talk. It operates like a town square where colleagues, locals, and visitors can exchange ideas without having to purchase status. No fund performance, promotion, family name, or club membership can buy a more convincing version of belonging than that. Historically, the running footman handled errands and messages for wealthy households, which gives the name a social meaning that I have always loved. I spent years running around cities doing things for powerful people, and I later returned to London to run the marathon for a charity supporting children in Africa. I will always be a footman rather than a blue-blood aristocrat, and I am proud of that designation. The role suggests movement, usefulness, endurance, and proximity to power without confusing proximity with ownership. Years later, I still think of this place whenever I remember that extraordinary London chapter. The Footman absorbed the triumphs and disasters of the workday without letting either define the people standing at the bar. It gave working people a handsome, fairly priced place to take the edge off and become human again after a demanding day. The Footman was my local in London, and I remain deeply grateful that a pub this real continues to thrive in one of the most moneyed neighborhoods in the world.

After countless trips to…read morethis city searching for a truly incredible meal, Andrew Edmunds finally delivered- and then some. We started with the Smoked Ox Tongue, which was outright delicious -- somehow better than bacon, if that's even possible. For mains, I went with the whole baked Dover sole and my colleague ordered the pork neck steak. Both were incredible. The sole was cooked to absolute perfection with the bones pulling away effortlessly, and every single bite was mouthwatering. I stole a bite of my colleague's pork neck too, and it was just as good. It's rare to find a restaurant that genuinely restores your faith in a city's food scene, but this place did exactly that.

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.

Yelp is not as popular in England, so I took to the internet to find a place which led us to The Windmill. We came to the pub on a weekday evening. When we arrived there were a ton of young adults on the streets drinking and hanging out. Initially, I thought there was a long wait, but I learned it's part of the culture. When we walked inside, we were seated immediately. The restaurant is quaint, cozy, and a fun pub with a rooftop bar as well (reservations recommended for the rooftop). It gets quite loud and lively inside but that's part of the culture. The service by all was greatly appreciated. I have dietary restrictions and they went the extra mile to check in with me. All of the staff who helped us were kind and courteous. She had the Dorset Lamb Shepherd's Pie which she quite enjoyed. I had the Smoked Salmon, King Prawn & Atlantic Haddock Fisherman's Pie. My pie came piping hot. There was a lot of seafood inside--it was rich, creamy, and hearty. I was only able to eat half. He got the Pork and Sage Sausage Roll which was savory and reminded me of an elevated pigs blanket. For dessert, we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was so good! So moist, sweet, warm and delicious. We were all pleasantly surprised with our meals as everything was delicious. I recommend The Windmill for a classic and fun pub meal in SoHo. It's easy to find off the side street on Mill Street. We enjoyed our first taste of British food here!
