Dieci Restaurant at No. Ten Manchester Street Hotel

➤ 10 Manchester Street London, W1U 4DG, United Kingdom

Beer • Wine • Indian • Italian

"If you think Italian food is your local Italian on the high street think again. Dieci introduces you to flavours, concepts and dishes that will transport you the fields of Tuscany, the cobbled streets of Florence and the terraces of Rome. Whether it’s the main menu or some of the smaller bites that are available, each dish is perfectly crafted and executed to the most exacting standards. You can tell that head chef Fabrizio pours his heart, soul and a lot of love into each dish. The innovative edge he brings to classic Italian ingredients is a joy to behold and each mouthful will send you to heaven. Parmesan churros, arrancini, carpaccio with tuna, Burrata with sun dried tomatoes, a goats cheese medallion these were just some of the delights we sampled. For mains, we had steak, with a sweet, rich and creamy peppercorn sauce. Dessert was sensational. Panna cotta, tiramisu, cheesecake and a chocolate fondant bathed in salted caramel sauce. Everything was simply perfection. This is Italian food taken to the next level. An artist who has mastered his craft. The settings are tranquil. If you fancy the perfect end to the experience, the attentive staff will take you to the cigar bar where you can sample the finest cigars in the city. The service is impeccable. Maurizio and Claudio made us feel extremely welcome and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Quality runs through the veins of this establishment and it is a must try for anyone looking to push the boat out for a special occasion. Could not fault any aspect of this visit. 11/10"

Spoken, Exmouth

➤ 43 Strand, EX8 1AL, Exmouth, United Kingdom

Kebab • Pizza • Mexican • Asiatic

"Thought we'd give it a try as we were having a pre Christmas break in Exmouth. Fantastic service from Emmer but poor value for money. Calamari starter £8.95, a very small portion Sea bass £18.95 which was good but advised to have a side dish with it which added another £4.55. Gorgonzola and Prosciutti pizza £16.95. Very expensive and not great. Peach and ginger soft drink £4.95 Poretti £6.95 a pint. This may explain why it was quiet just before Christmas, we noticed plenty of other restaurants in the town were busy with parties. We won't be returning, but have a lovely Christmas Emmer."

The Greek Larder

➤ 1 York Way, London N1C 4AS, United Kingdom

Wine • Greek • Coffee • Brunch

"After reading some reviews, we decided to try this restaurant for an evening meal. We ordered a selection of mezze dishes to share. The food looked appealing, but the portions were quite small, and the flavors were lacking. Everything tasted very bland, and it would have been nice to have salt and pepper available at the table. The octopus was tough and not enjoyable. We ordered eight dishes to share among three of us and still left feeling hungry. We spent £150 for three people but didn't leave very satisfied. The space is beautiful and has potential, but they really need to improve their food."

The Tapas Room

➤ Deptford Market Yard Unit 8, SE8 4BX, London, United Kingdom

Full • Wine • Tapas • Drinks

"This restaurant used to have great food, ambience, and delicious wine. Unfortunately, on this visit, the food fell short of expectations, with only the Hake standing out. The dishes were too salty and the chorizo was overly soggy. Despite these issues, we ate it because we were hungry. We were seated in a cold outdoor area without the heater on, which made us feel disconnected from the rest of the restaurant. Adding candles, heating, and music would make the atmosphere more inviting. Despite our disappointment, we will return because we like the staff, but we wanted to provide some constructive feedback. The server was friendly and the wine was enjoyable. The bill came to £80, which felt pricey given the environment."

Andromeda

➤ 87-88 Plender St, London, United Kingdom

Meat • Greek • European

"I have visited over 15 Greek restaurants in London, and Karavas definitely ranks in my top two. One of the standout features is the generous portion size of the meat meze, which is priced at £19."

Señor Ceviche

➤ Kingly Court London, W1B 5PW, United Kingdom

Bbq • Tea • Drinks • Peruvian

"Everything about Señor Ceviche was amazing. We went for the bottomless brunch. The staff was super friendly and prompt, the location was great, the vibe was awesome! We paid £40 for 4 small plates and dessert plus bottomless mimosas/belinis/wine. The food was AMAZING and honestly worth £40 itself. Then the drinks — we never had an empty glass. Probably had 7-10 mimosa/belinis over the 1.75 hrs. Perfect brunch place! Had to put a deposit (not charged) of £10/person for a reservation but totally worth it! Couldn’t recommend more! Get the skate it was amazing!"

Crown

➤ High Street Woodstock, Oxfordshire OX20 1TE, OX20 1TG, United Kingdom

Pubs • Cafés • Seafood • European

"Really good place for food, ambiance was wonderful, nice chilled out area and fairly spaced apart from other diners. Service could have been a lot better, we waited a whole hour after ordering for our bread and oil starter which is a ridiculously long amount of time. We were starving by this point. But the rest of the meal was good"

The Real Greek

➤ 2 Chestnut Plaza, Westfield Stratford City, Montfichet Road, London E20 1GL, London, E201GL, United Kingdom

Greek • Vegan • Vegetarian • Mediterranean

"This place has some of the best service that is there in the city. They have mastered the art of hospitality here. We began our meal with the nachos, which were amazing. Soon after, we were served steaks and they were the best ones I have ever tasted. It was cooked to specification (medium well), and tasted amazing. The dessert was very sweet, and we were unable to finish it. We ended our meal with a coffee, and it was a nice and reasonably priced meal. I will definitely return, and highly recommend coming here."

Toro Ramen Japanese

➤ 80 Lee High Road, London I-SE13 5PT, United Kingdom

Tea • Ramen • Japanese

"I had the tom yum soup, which was fantastic—just what I needed on a cold and dreary day. The highlight for me was the deep-fried wontons; I can't believe how delicious they were—crispy, flavorful, and simply amazing! The grilled dumplings were also very good, even better than the dim sum. I highly recommend trying the food here!"

Oblix

➤ Level 32, The Shard 31 St. Thomas Street London, SE1 9RY, United Kingdom

Wine • Steak • Global • European

"Having been satisfied with Oblix West many times, we wanted to spend my partner 's birthday indulging the Afternoon Tea at Oblix East. Unfortunately, the food quality is underwhelming the desserts are too sweet most importantly despite our booking being for 2h, we were asked to leave after 1.5h, due to change in their booking system for all new bookings from 2h to 1.5h this does not seem to be true as the website still shows all new future bookings being for 2h. 1.5h felt very rushed given the level of swetness of food. Quite a shame this side of Oblix could not maintain its standard."

Blue Harbour London

➤ 250 High Street Bromley, Greater London BR1 1PG, BROMLEY, United Kingdom

Kebab • Sushi • Asiatic • Seafood

"amazing of this sound in the center of bromley. I always feel as it is quite difficult to find a good fresh fish restaurant in london and surroundings: they all tend to deepen everything and that is annoying. the blue harbour offers a good choice of...Sea delikatesse, large enough portions and a beautiful service from the personal. we had a warm greeting as soon as we crossed the door and it was not stopped until we were gone. the menu offers a good selection of fish and mush and seafood with an addition of steak for those who can not give up any meat! admirable selection of wines also. overall it is a bit pricy, but in consideration of the quality of food and it is fresh I think it is fair. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and come back to the healed!"

Rosa Madre

➤ Rosa Madre Restaurant 7 Crow Street, Temple Bar Dublin, Co. Dublin D02 YT38, United Kingdom

Steak • Italian • Chicken • American

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

Santa Maria del Sur

➤ Greenwich & South London, 129 Queenstown Rd, SW8 3RJ, United Kingdom

Steak • Grill • Sandwiches • Gluten Free

"We visited here today for our wedding anniversary meal. We’ve been regulars for special occasions for around 10 years now so it was a no brainer to visit again as the food has always been amazing. Sadly this would be our last visit. On arrival we were greeted by new faces. Turns out there’s new ownership, we obviously weren’t aware of this. We cannot fault the staff at all because they were all lovely and welcoming. Good start. Sadly the menu has changed a lot and many of our fave items were no longer on the menu. We ordered chicken empanadas for starters. They tasted the same as before but instead of using chicken breast it was now chicken mince. Not as tasty or worth the price in our opinion. For our main we both ordered fillet steak at over £30 a piece. My husbands was cooked perfectly (well done . Mine was not. I ordered medium and it arrived medium rare. Maybe even more rare as I attempted to eat it. The meat wasn’t even red in colour, it was a purple tone and it was so rare and wobbled like jelly on my plate. I ended up not being able to stomach more than 50% of it. And to top it off it had 0% flavour. Maybe the chef needs to season the meat in future. The chimichurri was spot on but my husbands peppercorn sauce was rank. It was a strange sloppy grey substance. Never before in my life have I seen grey peppercorn sauce! My husband soon regretted pouring it over his steak which then made it inedible. Ordered the garlic and parsley roasted potato side at around £5. It arrived as 3 large roasted wedges with a small amount of green sauce dribbled on the top! Bland and awful. I’m actually offended by this side in particular. The roasted red pepper however was lovely. But how hard could that one be to get right. My husband did however enjoy one part of his meal and that was the prawn starter. So well done for that one I guess. Still not enough to justify the amount of money we’d just been robbed of. We only had soft drinks with our meal so didn’t spend much on those but the total bill came in at just over £150. I can honestly say it was the biggest waste of money ever. Shocking food to say the least. In my opinion and advice to any regulars out there please steer clear. Sad to say after so many visits over the past decade, we will never return here. Any recommendations for a new steak house would be welcomed! :"

Browns Brasserie

➤ 38 Queens Road Clifton Bristol, BS8 1RE, United Kingdom

Seafood • British • Fast Food • Vegetarian

"Three out of four meals were okay,, though not exceptional, and one, the pork belly, very disappointing as it was tough, tasteless, and the mustard mash appeared to be missing the mustard. The starters came promptly and staff were friendly, but we waited at least another 30mins for our mains and had to chase them up as we were heading for a concert that evening. Food was not piping hot as if it had come from the kitchen which led us to believe it had been sitting awhile before coming to the table. The waitress who cleared the table took the negative report back to the kitchen and the offending item was removed from the bill, a positive touch. We did not have time for desert due to the delayed main course. The ambience was lively as expected on a busy Friday, but we’d recommend a table away from the ‘main corridor’ as it was quite draughty on a cold evening."

Zen Japanese & Oriental Restaurant

"Looks pretty... old English style. Meet family who went abroad. Service OK only another table. Cheese board so over price, Stale bread!!

"That was such a nice restaurant, it was recommended and we were not disappointed. Excellent service and food was amazing. We shared a fifth sausage starter and then everyone had a steak. It was delicious. The beverage menu was also really good and really well made cocktails. We will definitely visit again"

The service was also top-notch, receiving another 5 out of 5 rating. The atmosphere was quite nice, scoring a 4 out of 5. Overall, I had a great dining experience and would highly recommend this restaurant for a meal."

"beautiful friendly staff and a beautiful restaurant that really uses fresh ingredients. many healthy choices, but they can make a burger if they like it. the sunday roasts are very delicious. there are many tasteful dishes in the offer, all tasting really fresh and fill. I would recommend it very much."

Sushi Atelier

➤ 114 Great Portland Street, London I-W1W 6PH, United Kingdom

Sushi • Asian • Seafood • Japanese

"I booked a table for my birthday, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Sitting right at the table provided an incredible experience. It was fascinating to watch the pace and consistency with which the food was prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, even though many of the dishes came pre-prepared. The fatty tuna roll and the omakase are definitely must-tries. Since visiting, I've found that sushi everywhere else seems bland in comparison. I definitely want to come back here. The take-out orders I saw also reflected the high quality of the food."
