Best Contemporary European Restaurants in London

This is such a wonderful hidden gem in the heart of London's West End, with two entrances that you could walk past a thousand times and never realise what they lead to. This was my sixth visit in 6 weeks. I can't fault the service, the ambience, the menu or the very extensive wine list; and the cheese is just great. Cork and Bottle is great for lunch, dinner, pre or post theatre drinks and is just a nice place to drop into any time to escape the awfulness of Leicester Square. Prawn Tempura was a highlight yesterday, as was the Orange Muscat with our cheese. Thanks again for a great lunch.

Service was incredible, food tasted fresh and with dimension, music is refreshing and not overpowering our conversation. It was an excellent experience. We were just going out randomly and we just want somewhere to eat, chat and relax and Qualingo was the perfect spot. Will come back again.

Our first 2 star Michelin restaurant. The food was amazing and never seemed to stop coming. Beyond the food, the staff was amazing. My fiancée and I had conversations with so many wonderful and amazing people.

Second time at Bar Crispin and we loved it as much the second time around! Will certainly be back!!

We had a lovely time having afternoon tea for my mother's 80th birthday. 2 additional glasses of champagne were very expensive, so that was a bit of a shock when the bill came! I did find it a little pricey for what we actually ate and drank, but we all had a fabulous afternoon and the tearoom itself is spectacularly decorated and the service was impeccable!
