Originally opened in 1991 in the heart of Covent Garden, Christopher’s has established itself as one of London’s best American restaurants, featured in Condé Nast, GQ, Tatler & Harper's Bazaar to name but a few. Comprising of three spaces that recall the heady-glamour of the Modern American era, Christopher’s brings you a Martini Bar on the ground floor, a glamorous Restaurant on the first floor and an intimate Club Room on the lower ground floor for private events. Housed in a Grade II listed building with an interesting past of its own, including opening in 1870 as London’s first licensed casino, Christopher's offers an extensive all day dining menu of Modern American cuisine. Weekend Brunch is also a specialty where healthy options are on offer alongside indulgent brunch favourites, including our signature french toast.

    Said I would like a no-jito as it I am not meant to be drinking alcohol due to pregnancy and they still brought it with alcohol and never replaced the drink. They also got me and my friends drink confused and the attitude towards us as we asked if there was a misunderstanding was very indifferent and rude. I have been here various times before and it was never like this so I wasn’t expecting to receive this type of service which was quite surprising.

    Christopher’s in London proved to be an expensive disappointment. From the moment we arrived, the service was inattentive and failing to meet even basic expectations for a restaurant of its caliber. The food was a complete letdown—bland, poorly seasoned, and made with subpar ingredients that clearly didn’t reflect the price tag. Each dish lacked freshness and balance , which made the high cost even harder to justify. The ricotta pancakes were the only redeeming aspect of the meal, but they alone couldn’t salvage the experience. We ended up complaining about two out of four dishes, which were kindly comped, but that didn’t change the overall experience. The overall ambiance, often praised by influencers, felt overhyped and underwhelming. Additionally, the toilets were poorly maintained which only further detracted from the experience. It’s clear that this restaurant thrives on social media buzz, but in terms of food quality, service, and value, it falls short. While the gesture of comping the dishes was appreciated, my review reflects the true overall experience, and unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend Christopher’s to those looking for a delicious brunch.

    Really beautiful restaurant, not over the top decoration but very elegant. The food was great, and the brunch has some unique items which are very tasty - truffle scrambled eggs! Waiter was friendly and the food came out very quick! Will definitely be going back.

    This was sadly to say, quite a disappointing experience. We waited over 40mins for our main course which was our first course. Dessert was very slow as well. We had a 17:45 booking on a pre-theatre menu for a 19:30 show, yet we had to rush out around 19:10 as we ran out of time, leaving our dessert part eaten. As we had arrived slightly early, we spent at least an hour and 25mins in the restaurant and that was insufficient for a two course pre theatre menu meal! The food was unfortunately nothing to write home about. Shame we could not finish our dessert which was better than our mains.

    Fantastic dishes, had two different fish dishes for main course and they tasted lovely and cooked just right. Desserts were also very good. Nice, private feel to the place. Will return.

    Not the best table provided. We were in the small room on the side. Should have been the main room. Poor ambiance

    Steak wasn’t cooked correctly, server disappeared. Luckily, a new one was flagged down 20 minutes later. New server, Adrien (spelling?) he was nice and very service oriented
