Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in London

Lovely dinner - really romantic and cosy candlelit restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. Extensive wine list and very tasty food. Our only complaint would be the valentines mark-up (seemed to be roughly 50% from the normal menu) but oh well.

Had a lovely valentines meal at Bocconcino Soho. Great service from a slightly older waiter from Brazil with glasses, there was a band roaming around the restaurant playing requests and they were fantastic, made it a very special evening. I thought the tuna and beetroot starters could have done with a little sweetness for balance and some sides with the steak at the price would have been good but overall a great night…thank you.

I took my parents for their first experience trying sushi and to celebrate their birthdays, and they were really impressed. The waitress was lovely, helpful and friendly, the food was beautifully presented and really tasty. The environment was a little loud but it was really busy. Definitely recommend it!

Couldn’t have wanted for more. Unfortunately I have found restaurants can sometimes be lacking in quality and originality these day not at the Dean Street Townhouse they’re not. Original menu and fabulous food. The drinks weren’t bad either. The restaurant is beautiful comfortable and the atmosphere is both buzzy and relaxed. People that work there to a man and a woman are friendly, efficiently and wear their sense of humour lightly. We had guests join us for coffee and the restaurant was very accommodating. Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic restaurant - worth sitting at the counter and watching the chefs. The food was amazing and the staff were really friendly.
