I'd say this place is a local favourite for a special night out, and it doesn't need the hype of the internet. It is and old school, establishment restaurant, however so be aware of that when you book. The website doesn't do it justice and Wilton's exceeded our expectations. It's the type of place that, if you know, you know!

Frog by Adam Handling

Covent Garden

About the restaurant

Michelin starred Frog by Adam Handling is a place to really submerge yourself in a theatrical show. You’re facing the kitchen, the chefs come to your table and you are able to really interact with every member of the team. Frog is luxury in an environment where you feel comfortable being whoever you are and where all elements in the restaurant are connected to offer a truly memorable experience.

The dishes are very emotional and they all mean something to Adam. Each and every one of the dishes has a story behind it, whether it’s a memory from Adam’s childhood or something that has inspired him or the team.

The food was prepared with careful thought in terms of flavors & presentation. The staff were very knowledgeable, friendly but professional. Loved the tableware and the extra touch of signed Christmas card by all the staff.

Portland Restaurant

British

Marylebone

About the restaurant

Portland opened in 2015 and received a Michelin star the same year - which we have retained to this day. We try to offer the best contemporary example of fine dining in London – the finest produce we can find cooked with precision and a high level of technique led by our executive chef Stuart Andrew and head chef Chris Bassett and his team.

We offer a la carte and also a Tasting Menu at lunch and dinner.

Wine is as important as food and service at Portland. Our main wine list aims to offer brilliant value on interesting, different wines which we hope you seldom see on restaurant wine lists. Our Single Bottle List contains bins of some of the world’s finest wines and also more accessible offerings from our favourite producers.

Apart from the main restaurant, we hope that our private room and its offer of secluded and separate dining is just the thing for special family events or business meetings.

Enjoyed the food and the wine. Expected a cozier and quieter place, maybe expected too much from the star

Mayfair

About the restaurant

November 2021 saw the hotly anticipated reopening of Langan’s Brasserie. With acclaimed duo, Graziano Arricale and James Hitchen at the helm, their mission is to bring all of the elegance and eccentricity of the original Brasserie - opened in 1976 as a joint venture between actor Michael Caine and the legendary restaurateur Peter Langan - back to the forefront of London culture. Reimagined for a new generation each of the three floors will have its own distinct visual identity. Upon entering, guests are instantly be immersed in a sense of occasion, synonymous with the ambience associated with the roaring twenties; from the bar area with its wall of bottles that stretches up to the ceiling, guests can head beyond the piano and past the bustling dining room to The Raw Bar. Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, the menu features all of the classics one would expect.

With best wishes

Soho

About the restaurant

We love mashed potato - it's the food equivalent of a great big hug. Our mash is made with only the very best Maris Piper potatoes - and it's made fresh. Not that day, not that hour, but right before you tuck in. That way it still has the creamy fluffy texture we've whipped into it.
Add a piping hot pie, free range sausages or vegetarian option.. pour on your choice of fresh gravy.. and you'r done. Feel all warm and friendly.

A stunning Victorian pub, restaurant and cocktail bar in the heart of Marylebone.

We booked a company Christmas lunch at the Coach Makers for 4 people. It was all very nice but the two cod main courses were a bit tepid by the time they came to our table. Food overall was nice and the first floor dining room is lovely.
