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.

    Service was generally not very attentive. Had to ask for a server to come to the table every time. Condiments had to be asked for. No salt and pepper on the table. For the price I am sure you could do a lot better

    Went with family. Lovely atmosphere on entry with Christmas decorations. Restaurant was nice but it took a while to be served. Food was nothing special and quite overpriced for what it was. Glad we tried it but would not rush back.

    Asked for medium rare lamb but got well done. Sent it back, replacement was perfect. The curry came with the driest mixed grain rice ever. Just do basmati !!!! The smell in the ladies loo was dreadful (rank, worse than a portaloo ) Very disappointed this time won’t be back.

    Pre theatre experience. Cocktail followed by.three course pre theatre menu with plenty of choice and good portion size. Tasty wine list. Well situated for theatre land. I've known the place for over 30yrs and it never disappoints.

    Over priced - awful food - How can you mess up brunch so badly - eggs were horrible - rubber and tasted bad. Bread stale and everything was charred! Do not waste your money here

    All in all I’d say it’s okay, the French toast is definitely nice and the quality on the sausage for the tex meal was really good. Not a restaurant I’d go back to often but it’s okay to try.
