"Tucked away from the road in a pedestrian square between office blocks (it was a little difficult to find), a signpost led us to a delightful square with a ground fountain feature, where children were splashing about in swimming cistumes on a sunny Friday evening. This was a chic boutique size restaurant whose apparentlt basic menu did not appear to celebrate the true quality of its food, which was outstanding. Each course was delicious and melted in our mouths. It was very quiet (few customers, surprisingly), with just some gentle background music and a perfect setting for a romantic evening out."

The Sichuan

Carta • Asian • Salad • Chinese • Sichuan

"This is an exceptional restaurant that specializes in Sichuan cuisine. Contrary to many beliefs, this is not always spicy hot! We ordered a good variety of dishes and they were all absolutely fantastic. As we do not live in London, this place is on our priority list when we make the trip. The food is incredible, and over the past decade has actually made us come to London just for their unique dishes."

Ops Wines

Carta • Full • Tapas • Bar-lounge • Mediterranean

"The food here is tremendous and there is an excellent selection of wines to go with it. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food, we had to double-check our bill as we thought they'd left a few things off. That's a rare thing eating out in London these days! The only negative was the servers seemed rushed off their feet and a couple of times we ordered something from one person that never arrived so we had to ask again. Everyone was absolutely lovely and knowledgable about the menu, perhaps it's just an IT system issue, it was a busy Friday night."

"Just a hop, skip and jump from the bustle of Covent Garden this is a really lovely independent pizza restaurant. It’s a warm and inviting space with a genuinely friendly team and the pizzas are delicious (and great value)."

Naroon

"I had a lovely experience at this restaurant and the food was delicious! It was my first time trying Persian cuisine and I found it to be very refined and mild, yet still full of flavor. The staff even brought out a cake when they heard it was my birthday. I would definitely return to this restaurant!"
