* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

This would-be-instant-classic Theatreland brasserie – artfully designed by the Soho House group using the name of an 1877 original – “could be great for its location”, right amongst the bright lights of Shaftesbury Avenue, and has a fine interior. But the food falls very short – which is “a real shame”: the menu of French and Italian classics “promises so much” but too often “delivers nothing!”; and, for somewhere so central, the venue inspires remarkably little feedback.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
