Best Casual Restaurants in Barbican

Outstanding food, service, ambiance. Classic British food, nose to tail, simply but exquisitely prepared. We started with olives and roasted bone marrow, a favourite we order whenever possible, and this was the best we’ve ever had. Accompanying parsley salad was flavourful crunchy and fresh, perfect accompaniment along sourdough toast. For mains we shared grey mullet, grilled shorthorn, white asparagus, green salad and a sublime braised mutton. Everything was superb and we were quite full but couldn’t resist dessert. Both the lemon posset and date loaf with butterscotch sauce were incredible and we ate every last bit. Service was low key excellent and very helpful as we ordered wine by the glass having over imbibed over the weekend and server recommendations were perfect.

Lovely environment, amazing food-especially the fried chicken waffle which was incredibly juicy yet not too greasy! Really friendly staff which made the full experience enjoyable

I had a really wonderful experience at The Hope. There were flowers and candles on the tables and some brilliant music playing. The atmosphere was lovely! I had the Vegan pie and mash and it was so lovely - I'll certainly be visiting on my lunch breaks again in the near future! The staff were really kind and helpful. A cute little traditional pub with great food.

This is one of the best Chinese restaurants with a very sweet and friendly ambience. We tasted the signature dishes and loved each of them. We'll certainly recommend it.

Looks lovely after the refurb. Nice place to have a drink before as well. Starters and mains were lovely. We had 50%
