Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!

I am lucky to be able to eat at so many great London restaurants. I do not believe there is anywhere better than Coronus. A beautiful room flooded with natural light at lunch and so atmospheric in the evening. Tables are well spaced. Service is exemplary and everything is top notch. The food, from a kitchen that is on top of the game is faultless. This is undoubtedly a restaurant that will earn at least a one star from Michelin. My advice go now before the crowds start packing the place!
