Harden's survey result
Summary
“A proper first-date venue” – this “very sophisticated” and “inviting” eight-year-old brasserie in Covent Garden “delivers on all aspects of an excellent restaurant”, including highly competent cooking, professional standards and an elegant interior. Top Tip – the pre-theatre set menu is more ambitious than most.
Summary
“A very sophisticated Italian restaurant” in Covent Garden that combines “gorgeous” cooking and “excellent wines” with “superb” service and an “elegant” interior. Just one catch, and you can probably guess what it is… it’s no bargain (“the crab ravioli at £31 had only 6 ravioli on the plate…”). Top Top – “good value for the pre-theatre menu”.
Summary
“Suave” “classic, top-end Italian” in Covent Garden that’s run by co-founder Nicolas Jaouën, who presides over “an elegant room, smooth service and capable cooking”. It’s “not cheap, but you leave feeling you have been looked after well”. The “excellent list” numbers 350 wines.
For 34 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).
