St John - Menu

I have long been a fan of Fergus Henderson (thank you Bourdain!) and his nose to tail cooking.

For those of you familiar with Barry Levinson's movie Diner, there is a scene where a patron walks into the titular establishment and proceeds to order the

Great place to try some traditional British food. Everything from the starters to desserts was executed perfectly. Interior is basic and minimalistic, but comfortable. Service was excellent. Wine list was a little bit too French oriented in my opinion, could use some wines from other countries. View menu

Great restaurant, bit of an institution. I’ve eaten in the restaurant and the bar area both excellent experiences. The food is top notch, rich, tasty. Well portioned, impressively good value. The service is attentive, friendly, unassuming. Overall it’s just a really good experience here if you want a high quality meal without pretension. I look forward to my next visit.

Low key Michelin starred restaurant very affordable and the food is incredible. They use a lot of offal, and really bring out British fayre. Really good experience one of my favourite restaurants in London. Definitely recommend trying the Rarebit as a side if you can manage it, and save space for a desert because although simple, they're full of flavour and in some cases come straight from the bakery.

This was our second visit, if you're looking for a fussy dining experience this is not it. The service is attentive but not overbearing. The focus is all on the food and the beef pie for two was exceptional, though with sides it could easily feed three people. The rarebit is delicious so we had to order it again. My only regret is not having space for dessert as I hear these are excellent, alas, next time! View menu

Such a lovely discovery!!! While did not have a reservation, we were able to request a table for two and just have a glass of wine while we waited. It want much faster than expected. The food is awesome! We had the bone marrow (so tasty I forgot to photograph it). My wife had the fish (I forget which) and I had the lamb sweetbreads. The bread is phenomenal, the wine selection is eclectic and fun to explore. The staff are amazingly. What can I say…I love this place.

White walls and white tablecloths with coat hooks covering the walls gives a relaxed atmosphere. Food of incredible quality. You can tell their chefs are proud of their ingredients. They really let each element shine through and they are served without over the top plating. The staff are also relaxed and very welcoming. There is no pretentiousness about the place, just good food and great wine. The places buzzes with chatter, because that's what good food does. It brings people together.

This might be one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at in the world. The flavors that they are getting out of the food is just incredible. They give St John in London a run for their money as top restaurants in the city. Highly recommend sitting at the counter so that you can watch the chefs make your food, and you might even have some interesting conversation with them. If you're in London then you need to visit Manteca. You will want to at least order the bread appetizer, mussels, and one or two pastas. View menu
