L'orchidee Boutique Patisserie, Westfield London

Rating: 5 out of 5

We went there for afternoon tea today after shopping. The scones and sandwiches are excellent - well cooked and very fresh. The macaroons were also lovely. The service was great - the staff were very pleasant and attentive. The tea was brewed to perfection - very important detail!!
Would definitely go again - perfect afternoon tea!

Bistro Benito, Earl's Court Rd, London
Rating: 3 out of 5

Went to Benito for lunch today. The food is very average and the décor appears tired and old rather than rustic and cosy. The food also looked tired and un-appetizing. Not really worth their prices, especially as they are competing with some pretty good restaurants on Earl's Court Rd. Even my Coco Cola was flat! Service, however, was good and we did not feel neglected at all. Wouldn't go back there though.

Veryfairyland, Hammersmith, London

Rating; 4 out of 5

This is a lovely and family-friendly restaurant. They have a miniature village, complete with garage, grocery store and hairdressers for children - its all so pretty. I wanted to go to the village and play!. The concept works very well - combining playroom and restaurant and they do birthday parties at really good prices. The food was very good and the service was nice and most importantly, baby loved it. Will definitely go back.

Went there for lunch using Groupon voucher which I highly recommend as you don't need to queue and can get your table booked. It was a lovely meal and the service was great. It was my baby's  first time at Hard Rock Café and she loved it! The food was fantastic with really large portions that we struggled with!

Topkapi Restaurant, 25 Marylebone High Street, London

Went there for lunch - excellent food and service. Probably one of the best Middle Eastern cuisine in London. We had studded aubergine, spicy kebabs and grilled prawns. Yummy!!

 

Good prices and service was also really good
Would definitely go again

Oppa Korean BBQ restaurant

Richmond, Surrey

Rating 3.5 out of 5

 

Went for dinner
Food is ok but didn't actually try the bbq. Dumplings were very crispy fried so not great. Chicken tasted a bit old to me. The hot pot was very nice though
Service was good and good atmosphere
Not sure I would go back

La Sirene, Nyhavn, Copenhagen

Italian restaurant

Rating: 3 out of 5

 

La Sirene is an Italian restaurant on the small port of Nyhavn. It is very centrally located, in the most popular dining area of the city.

The menu has a good selection to chose from (compared to other restaurants in the area). It is open all year round, including Christmas time so that was great for us. It's open until midnight. The food is over priced for basic Italian cuisine. The decor is eclectic and pretty.  I would have expected amazing Italian food considering the area its in so wasn't blown away by it. The service was ok not great.

The restaurant is lovely and the service was excellent. However, the food was terribly disappointing
All the dishes were very average and the desserts were way too sweet. Just seemed that no effort was put in by the cook at all.

The staff did try to make us very welcome though so its 5 out of 5 for effort and service for them!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Podium Restaurant and Bar, Hilton Park Lane

Rating 5 out of 5

 

 

 

 

Visited this restaurant on Thursday night – it was relatively busy. The premises are lovely and the staff were absolutely fantastic. I was very impressed by the service (something generally lacking in London restaurants!). Our waitress was a lovely lady called Lidia who was an absolute delight – attentive but not intrusive! The cook is sensational – very innovative and inspiring.. The dinner was excellent with some lovely touches by the Chef – the Lemon dessert is a must. He has created various items on the plate with different textures and they are all lemony and fresh. The view of Park Lane from the restaurant was lovely. Very enjoyable and relaxing evening.

We went there for brunch today. The service was excellent. Food was good (I had the masala omelette) but a little over priced for the portions
All in all would recommend it for a quick brunch while shopping

My Old Dutch, Kensington High St

Rating 4 out of 5

Went for breakfast today. Very good service but the pancake filling looked rather sad and lonely! Delicious though! Their sweet pancakes are much better though

Would still recommend it though!

Colbert French restaurant

Delightful little French bistro. I went for dinner with family and both good and service were excellent. It was surprisingly busy for a Sunday night but it is very popular! so book ahead.

The steak was great and the they have a great sandwich selection for light bites. Other dishes included grilled prawns, grilled chicken and yummy mash.
The food was very well presented and though the restaurant is very busy, it is not too loud (even though we were sitting at the bar side rather than the restaurant side)

Naga Restaurant & Bar, Kensington, London

Rating: 4 out of 5

 

The restaurant is very well decorated and the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. The food and the service were really good.

The starters and mains were really good but not the best I ever had. However, their cocktails are really nice and I would definitely recommend these, especially the watermelon martini made of fresh watermelon juice. The timing of the food was perfect and everything is served in pretty bamboo dishes. The dessert was great.

I cannot praise the service enough. They were getting busy when we got in. Despite this, the service was perfect. I was very impressed with that. I do think they are too pricey for the food though. Didn't think it was especially worth the price.
Overall, excellent service and good food. Not the best Chinese but a pleasurable experience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Urban Diner, Richmond

20 Hill Street, Richmond, England

Rating 4 out of 5

We went there for Valentine's dinner. No reservation but we were still seated pretty quickly in a nice spot. The place was buzzy, and the service was really good. The food was fantastic - I could eat 20 of their hot dogs in a sitting! Absolutely delicious! We didn't order any desserts but the ones I saw looked very tempting. Cocktails were nice.

I think we'll definitely go back and recommend the restaurant. Really good find!

This is a lovely restaurant with excellent food and impeccable service. The staff are very helpful and cater the dishes to your taste. Prices also very standard by London terms. The menu was has some really good authentic Indian dishes which I haven't seen in other Indian restaurants and the food is very very fresh and yummy! Go for the Chef's Recommendations - these are the best dishes and the pancake kebabs in the Starter section are to die for! Fantastic food! I would travel across London to the City for the amazing food!

 

 

Frangos, Kingston

Rating 1 out of 5

Frangos is basically a poor man's Nandos with terrible food. The sauces are just chilli sauces with no real taste except of powdered spices and the chicken itself is tasteless and horrible. The bread was also stale. Poorest hygiene levels - I had to call over a waitress twice to clean a very dirty table.
Never go! Awful place.

Muriel's Kitchen

Leicester Sq [Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely decor combined with good food at reasonable prices. Best of all, we had a table with swings for chairs!! Loved it
Shabby chic décor with very friendly staff.  They did mess up my order but fixed it right away. The food came quickly and tasted very nice.  I would definitely recommend this place.
