Lively bars and restaurants in London

“The food and service was astonishing. The atmosphere is calming and welcoming. It was my first time eating at this restaurant and will for sure be visiting again and recommending to my friends and family.”

“The food is incredible!! There’s a reason why Mimo’s only has 5 star reviews. Highly recommend, everything was so tasty and well made, absolutely delicious - we’ll be back! They even included some free baklava which was very kind”

“Excellent accommodation for a large family. We stayed here over Christmas and the accommodation is very comfortable, has all amenities and conveniently located near Heathrow Airport (in case you have visitors from abroad!). Also, worth visiting Bray village, which is beautiful and nearby. It is also a short drive to other nice locations such as Windsor, Henley and Marlow. Jill was very responsive during the whole process and helped us with everything we needed. Thanks again!”

“Great food. Great service. Decent beer. Only could have been made better by Camden pale ale being in stock!”

“Having been ordering from here for years now, since they opened! I am half Persian so know about good Persian food as my dad is an amazing cook and this restaurant has top quality food and it’s always cooked to perfection every time I order or dine in. The koobideh and joojeh is my favourite but for a stew I always have gormeh sabzi. The chips are really nice too. I have also had catering from them for a party and as usual they gave a great service! Highly recommend.”

“We were told this was the best Indian Restaurant in London and they were right! From the beautiful decor to the super accommodating and friendly staff, this place is a must! The Chicken Lollipops were the most delicious wings we have ever had. The Buttery Chicken was just as good. We will definitely be coming back! Great experience!”

“Hidden gem! Great variety of dishes, they can adjust the spice level to taste. Chairs are super comfy, perfect atmosphere for a date night. We’ve ordered a meat combo - just watch out because if you do, you don’t choose the combination. We accidentally ordered more dishes thinking they were included, but they weren’t. In the end we got a discount and delicious leftovers, so overall still a great experience! Will definitely be back.”

“Second visit to Eros Bistro! This time we came for a glass of wine and dessert. You will not be disappointed, authentic Romanian food at extremely great value. Staff were really welcoming as well!”

“Very nice good and good portion sizes. Friendly staff, nice decor, worth a try!”

“What an amazing place that has opened just on our doorstep. My 2 children (5 and 7) were treated like VIPs and the food and drinks (especially the Nutella milkshake) were divine. We will definitely be visiting often”

“Quirky little cafe-bar. Had a perfectly nice pot of tea and a really good pain chocolat. I was the only customer in and me and the owner Ken spent the whole time chatting, mostly about photography. Many of his are on the walls, along with several other photographers. There's also a lot of music instruments hanging on the walls and ceiling, Mozart-themed chocolates and other gifts (as the name might suggest) imported from Vienna, classical music playing. Overally a nice interesting place to sit and while away some time taking in the overall ambience.”

“All of us had a great dinner at seagarden. Service was great and the food exceptional. Definitely the best mussels in London!”

“Haven’t had Thai food for a while and loved this. Great experience and excellent food (Pad Thai was delicious). Staff were very friendly, happy to support this business!”

“Great price and a nice atmosphere! very clean and organized place, super recommend! the food was perfect, the ribs croquettes was the best, just Yummmy!!!”

“I was recommended this place and it did not disappoint! We got the whole chicken (half signature fried and half spicy glazed) with a side of chips and Soju! The chicken was delicious! The service was great, very friendly staff! Service was a little slow but I believe it’s because we arrived just before they closed for lunch!”

“Our first visit to this reletively new restaurant in Wallington, on Friday night. The staff were friendly from the moment we walked in and professional. Inside & outside eating. We sat inside which was nice. We ordered 6 Tapas dishes, king prawns in garlic sauce, calamari in bread crumbs & black pepper, meatballs, Chorizo, garlic bread & potato bravas. All of these were delicious! The king prawn was my favourite. We had lager and wine, which we liked. It was not that busy luckily, as we did not book a table. We would recommend going. We will be going again with friends next time.”

“What a pleasure it was to eat at Plus 233. Josephine was not only cooking but being the host with the most! Food was so tasty and the portions were great. Great music too! Will definitely come back”

“The pictures really don't do it justice. I thought I had had "good Italian food" before but this is a different league. "Pineapple juice" never looked this glorious before, very fresh. That octopus! Wow, great texture, a satisfying bite but not at all rubbery, somehow with an almost charred flavour. Then that mash, with flavours something like garlic? Apple? I don't know and I'm not sure I want to know how the magic is done. Why spoil enjoyable mysteries? The risotto main is stunning, what a showpiece, also delicious. Took my time to enjoy it both visually and to dig out and eat the meats. All the flavours balanced. So light tasting, but so filling. (I am a little bit in love with that fish plate). ...but for desert somehow my stomach found space. Pear and ricotta cheesecake, maybe some subtle spice in there? Again wonderful textures, melting but also with an enjoyable chew. Lemoncello, made by them, gorgeous smell, clean refreshing taste. No sugary syrup. Very pleasantly surprised. I could never cook this good and I wouldn't dare try. My words don't do it justice either. I could go on. Best to just come back here. ASAP. Definitely, the best meal I have ever had. Thank you so much. See you soon!”

“We ordered the chicken curry with rice and the chicken biryani. Both tasted great and the spice level was just right (and is customizable on request). The biryani also came with two sauces for balance. The prices are very reasonable and I would definitely order them again! The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome even though it was our first time. There were many regulars there too. For a cafe, the food took quite some time to arrive after ordering but this is forgivable given the final quality - I would not want them to rush if it meant sacrificing the taste.”

“Amazing restaurant & a very high standard of food quality. I went with a friend and was met with lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and very attentive where needed. My family are from Corfu, Greece and I spent a lot of time there. The authentic flavours reminded me of being back! Beautiful decor and spotlessly clean (covid friendly). Plenty of Mediterranean food choices along with lovely wine & cocktails. We had complimentary pitta bread & tzatziki, grilled prawns with garlic, whole sea-bass and fillet of sea-bass! All absolutely delicious, highly recommend. One of the best restaurants in Orpington x”

“Definitely the best brunch in Bexley. Great coffee and food. The sausages were five stars alone. And nice staff and a great building.”

“Amazing restaurant!! The waitress was great, we had a lot of fun with her as you can see in the picture. The food was amazing as well! Would highly recommend going here.”

“What a fab private hire venue. Perfect size for our 21st birthday party! Bar staff brilliant and quick. Highly recommended”

“Absolutely loving place, certainly a goto in the neighbourhood! Family owned, a cute sea side-ish vibe, made me feel like holidaying. Tried the brunch Eggs Royale that were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended, certainly a place to go back to!”

“The restaurant has a lovely warm atmosphere. Food was amazing- fantastic portions and good prices. The staff were also extremely friendly and accommodating. Would recommend!”

“We had are first takeaway on Saturday and my god was it good!!! The food was really good much better then our usual Chinese! We ordered it on line and they delivered at the time we asked for by a lovely young lady! and we will be ordering and again this weekend! Please dont take any notice of the the one star review left on there web site! It was a mistake by my wife which she can’t change! She didn’t mean to do that she would have give the full 5”

“I thoroughly enjoyed lunch today. The chefs speciality Gobi Cauliflower was delicious as well as the mixed kebab roll. All the meals are freshly made the salad was fresh and very mouth watering. Good selection of starter dishes . Overall you are extremely well fed. Front of house and chef made you very welcome and were very attentive to any food allergies . I would recommend this restaurant after my overall culinary experience. Looking forward to revisiting soon. Worth a visit !!!”

“Lovely new Turkish restaurant. We really enjoyed our meal . Hope to return soon”

“I recently dined at Reis Grill and bar and had the pleasure of ordering the T-bone steak, which was an excellent choice. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful crust on the outside and juicy, tender meat on the inside. The flavours were exceptional, with hints of herbs and spices that complemented the meat perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive, with staff members eager to provide recommendations and ensure that all of our needs were met. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and the dining experience overall. I would 100% this restaurant!”

“Amazing dining experience and splendid service! We ordered risotto pollo e fungi (chicken and mushroom risotto) and tagliatelle gamberi e aspargi (fettucine with prawns and asparagus) and they were absolutely nothing like we tasted before. Both were scrumptious and cooked to the right texture. Comfort food at its best! I recommend adding the red-pepper-infused olive oil while savouring their cuisines. The server/host Luca was especially friendly. He helped us with sprinkling cheese powder and pepper, then upon settling our bill, offered us complimentary Limoncello which tasted really delicate. If you’re ever in Twickenham, this is the place to check out for a cosy and warm dining experience.”
