Duck & Waffle|The signature waffle named after the shop. The French confit duck leg is a masterpiece! The skin is crispy while retaining the duck meat's oiliness and not dryness. Paired with a runny duck egg and honey oil mustard sauce. Every bite makes my heart throb. Duck Benedict|I love everything about duck meat! In fact, this waffle is not inferior to the signature one. And the taste is richer. Poke the golden runny duck egg and let the egg liquid soak into the minced duck meat and the fluffy and crispy waffle at the bottom. Then dip it in the surrounding Hollandaise sauce and Sriracha chili sauce. The bold combination of creativity makes people shine~ Sweet Waffle|The sweet waffle chooses a combination of blood orange and vanilla ice cream. The unique sweetness of blood orange makes the overall taste not too burdensome. Looking at the current menu, this dish should be removed due to different seasonal fruits. But there are other fruit combinations that are worth trying. Greek Yogurt|Greek yogurt with crispy granola, pine nuts and raisins. Then drizzle with date syrup. The taste is impeccable, but a small bowl is not enough to satisfy you. The price-performance ratio is not high.
The food, in general, was quite nice, though I was expecting it to be better than it was. There were only two bartenders making drinks who (as far as I am aware) catered not only for the bar area itself, but the entire restaurant as well. Unfortunately, this meant that the drinks took considerably long to arrive. I hate to say but the service was not good at all. The waiters are inattentive and forgetful. I patiently waited around 20 minutes to pay the bill. They also whack on a discretionary service charge which I do not quite think they have earnt. Nevertheless, the view was absolutely stunning at sunset, in particular, as the night sky started to draw over the city. Overall, I would say that you pay for the view (which does a make a trip to this restaurant worth it), but manage your expectations with regard to everything else.

It is no exaggeration to say that the sashimi platter is the thickest I have ever eaten! Each piece is as thick as two fingers, which is really touching! The even distribution of fat and the rich taste are almost enough to pierce me~
Of all the breakfast restaurants in London, The Wolseley is my favorite. Although the breakfast presentation is not that exquisite, the taste is absolutely first-rate. Otherwise, I would not get up early to have breakfast. You can try it if you are still lazy. I only recommend breakfast here [Haha][Haha][Haha][Greedy][Greedy]

Lovely dog friendly spot serving some really good brunch food at the weekend. The spicy rum cocktail was delicious.
This is the second time I went to this restaurant with my friends. I personally think this one is pretty good. The portion size is not big and the average cost per person is not low. Although the food tastes okay, I don’t have the urge to revisit. That night, it was about £100+ per person (I can’t remember exactly). Then we went to Chinatown for more food. I guess it would cost at least two hundred pounds if we were full. It’s not worth it for me. We made a reservation for a Thursday night. We were only given an hour and a half to dine, which is quite short. So I couldn’t chat with my friends as much as I wanted. Friends who are picky about seafood may need to be careful. Two different groups of friends went there and had diarrhea when they got home.

How can you not come to this restaurant when you come to London! Yes, this is the first choice for lobster! I couldn't stop eating after the first bite. I recommend the whole lobster and lobster roll The cocktails are also very beautiful
Burger & lobster is a popular online shop with some tricks! Lobster rolls are my favorite. The bread is baked and very fragrant. It is full of lobster meat. It is so satisfying [thumbs up] French fries are fried and very fragrant! I am not interested in thin fries, but I also like them [thumbs up] Cocktails are also beautiful and delicious All of them are perfect. I love them completely! ! ​

We came here to eat mainly for the filming of Thor 2. It's very famous, but the British cooking skills are really average, and the taste is really not that good. If you come here for the taste, you can skip this place.
This western restaurant is located in Lambeth. There are many set menus to choose from for lunch and dinner. It is more cost-effective to choose a set menu. The menu items are also changed from time to time. The steak is pretty standard and the mussels and oysters are very fresh.

Booked here after eating at Gordon’s Savoy grill previously and the Wellington was superb, not disappointed as the food and service was excellent, personally I liked the venue, atmosphere and the music along with a relaxed vibe, I thought it would be dressier but it was a mixture of folk dressed up and shoppers so if your looking for somewhere a bit more special I’d go elsewhere. We will certainly be back.
The environment is very good, the duck inside is very good, and there is a large piece of meat on it. The taste is very tasty and rich. The salmon is not particularly fresh, but I like the silver knife and fork used, it is very high-end.

A smoothly proficient operation - welcoming responsive service and a lively convivial environment. We feasted on a selection of small plates which reflected a pleasing diversity of world cuisines. Wine list represents excellent value, and we lingered a while in enjoying the fresh roasted bean coffee.
A breakfast shop in London's super fire, the cakes inside are very good, but some things are like Indian style, the taste is a bit heavy, a bit spicy, overall good, a very full breakfast.

I really like the taste and menu design of the wooden fire in the restaurant. The highlight is beef loin and anchovies bread.
The atmosphere was relaxed, but it was nice to see the open kitchen and watch the food preparation process.

The real material made out of the word of mouth! The ingredients of the burger are super solid, and the meat patties are burnt out.
This burger is real, delicious, and tastes classic
