    We stayed near Farris Holborn during our visit to London and enjoyed several outings to this location. The service each time was wonderful. Bilal and Dilek were excellent looking after our needs and the management was attentive to the experience. Great all around experience!

    It’s consistently excellent Italian cuisine - always a pleasure to dine there. We took 2 friends from Paris who can be a little hard to please in the culinary department but they were delighted with everything!

    This was my 2nd visit to Faros & i enjoyed it just as much. I had the Bruscetta to start followed by the Ragu for my mains. The bruscetta was lovely & the beef in the Ragu was so tender & the taste was even better than the 1st time. It's easier to get off at Chancery Lane & then it's a 7 minute walk. It's a lovely restaurant & very popular so it's best to book a table, especially if you are visiting the theatre.
    Faros HolbornResponded on March 15, 2025
    Dear Maureen, Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing to dine with us again! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your meal, especially the Bruschetta and Pappardelle Beef Ragu. Your kind words mean a lot, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next visit! Best wishes, Faros Holborn
