Owner's description

Neptune is a modern British neighbourhood restaurant serving breakfast and dinner in the heart of Bloomsbury.

The oyster bar located the centre of Neptune’s dining room serves a variety of oysters and shellfish selected from independent growers around the UK.

Alongside this, the menu also features thoughtfully sourced and high-quality British produce cooked on the wood-fire grill including dry-aged beef from Yorkshire and fish direct from boats in Cornwall.

While the casual bar serves fresh aperitif style cocktails, the ever-evolving wine list focuses on a mix of low intervention and classic wines from quality local and international producers.

To compliment the stunning menu, Russell Sage Studio and Margaret Crow revived the existing Grade II-listed dining room by adding a graphic wooden floor, peach ceiling and a centrally located pewter-top bar, creating a space that is as elegant as it is inviting from morning through to late evening.

We look forward to welcoming you.

“Stylish, grand-hotel decor” creates an “impressive” backdrop to a meal in the year-old incarnation of this dining room within a huge Victorian pile (fka Hotel Russell) on Russell Square. Its brasserie-style cooking is decently rated but can seem “very pricey”.

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).
