Informazioni sul ristorante

Recommended by diners for immaculate service and imaginative cuisine, Trinity is one of London’s fine dining hot spots. The staff are charming and helpful, and though the food is Michelin-starred level, reviews comment on the lack of pretention. Couples on a date night might want to ask about the house tarte tatin. They only make seven every day, and it’s a sublime sharing dessert to round off your four-course meal. Remember to ask ahead of your visit to avoid missing out!

Covent Garden

Informazioni sul ristorante

Steak is a great meal that is both decadent and simple, but doing it well is almost an art form. Hawksmoor Seven Dials gets it just right at their restaurant just around the corner from the famous Covent Garden area of London. Diners regularly comment on how perfectly cooked the meat is, and how well the sides, sauces, and even wine complement the delicious mains. A must for meat lovers and a sure way to impress your date.

Posto bellissimo anche se da fuori non sembra, stile loft, ex birreria. Staff gentilissimo, Maria è stata molto simpatica con noi ma anche gli altri. La carne è deliziosa ed il prezzo in linea con la qualità, che è molto molto alta. Un po' rumoroso ma non esagerato

Covent Garden

Informazioni sul ristorante

Executive Chef Sean Burbridge prides himself on offering “an eclectic mix of modern British comfort food and international dishes.” So, this is a great place to take a date if neither of you is sure what cuisine you’re in the mood for. Start with a classic prawn cocktail, or make it more exotic and go for the wasabi prawns with salt and pepper squid. A melting chocolate bombe might be a sweet sharing moment at the end of your meal. Lots of choice in an elegantly presented venue.

Soho

Informazioni sul ristorante

The City branch of this restaurant is set in an old electricity substation in the basement of a Grade II listed building. The industrial touches this lends to the décor are fun and a great talking point. Staff write the specials in chalk on the pillars, and brickwork archways provide nooks for supplies for the wait staff. Amongst this intriguing paraphernalia, you and your date can enjoy some of the finest cooked meat in London. Skinny chops, big chops, and off-the-bone meat are the core of this menu, with a mouthwatering range of sauces and sides. A carnivore’s paradise.

Marylebone

Informazioni sul ristorante

A relatively recent addition to London’s dining scene, Portland opened in 2015 and won a Michelin star in their very first year. Famous for rare and esoteric additions to the wine list, this is a great place to take any budding sommeliers. The food is just as enticing. There’s a tasting menu and an a la carte dinner menu, and a very well-priced lunch menu. Mains include thornback ray with mussels and lovage, or shorthorn beef with black garlic. If you go for a birthday or anniversary, tell the staff; you might just get a little treat!

Informazioni sul ristorante

The original Hakkasan, Hanway Place opened in 2001 and is a designer paradise of modern wooden lattice and beautiful Chinoiserie decadence. A thoroughly contemporary interior contrasts with some traditional Eastern flavors such as crispy duck, hot and sour soup, satay chicken, and fragrant jasmine rice. Guests comment on how the restaurant manages to combine elegance with comfort, and of course, great taste. Bright colors and stunning presentation make this a surprising and exciting restaurant to take a date or loved one.

Informazioni sul ristorante

Listed as one of the world’s top 50 restaurants, Brett Graham’s multiple award-winning Ledbury is a Notting Hill treasure. A friendly atmosphere and quirky yet elegant décor accompany delicious food matched with wines from small and exclusive estates. The menu includes such delights as frozen English wasabi, clay baked white beetroot, hen of the woods, and brown sugar tart with stem ginger ice cream. The Ledbury manages to achieve that elusive state of being high end without being pretentious. A date night to remember.

Enjoy a wide range of oysters, all individually priced, or have something a bit heartier like Cornish fish soup. The royal sharing platter is sure to be a big hit with seafood fans.

Knightsbridge

Informazioni sul ristorante

Date night should be fun, and few restaurants are more fun and quirky than Heston Blumenthal’s signature venue. The celebrity chef is famous for his quest to perfect familiar dishes by reinventing them in weird and wonderful ways. Dinner comes from a love of gastronomic history, which is evident in dishes such as Plum Meat Fruit, with spiced red wine and chicken liver, or Roast Venison with the classic combination of meat and cherries. The presentation is what makes Dinner fun, so look out for oranges that aren’t really oranges or dry ice rising from the table.

La cucina di Heston è risorta dopo l’incendio, e si è ancora migliorata. L’antipasto di salmone è insuperabile, il polpo tenerissimo e profumato, ed il filetto una sicurezza come sempre. La visita finale della cucina con le spiegazioni delle varie preparazioni è stata la ciliegina sulla torta...Servizio perfetto! Per me una tappa obbligata a Londra.
