| Durbar Tandoori |
7.6 |
Lovely spot in nice neighbourhood. Friendly staff, reasonable value. Some dishes were a hit (tandoori chicken), some were a miss (chilli paneer). |
| Med Sallah Kopitiam |
8.7 |
Excellent Nasi Lemak, beef rendang and coconut rice were brilliant - great selection of malaysian drinks too. |
| Halepi |
6.2 |
Smells a lot better than it tastes. Lamb was disappointingly bland, but maybe a little overhyped both by reputation and my nose. |
| Tukdin |
7.9 |
Really nice Kway Teow, and a few options of Malaysian puddings, which is great. |
| Gianni's |
7.5 |
A very good full English at a reasonable price. |
| Kolae |
8.2 |
Very tasty gourmet food, but comes with gourmet portion sizes and prices. |
| Kiln |

Absolutely delicious food, and honestly quite decent prices for location and quality. They have since changed to walk-ins only which is always annoying. |
| OXO |
8.1 |
Great food and a fantastic venue, quite ridiculous prices. |
| Davey's/Crusting Pipe |
8.2 |
Lovely breakfast in a great venue, very decent prices for the heart of Covent Garden. Can be nice to sit in the courtyard when an Opera singer is working. |
| Pho |
6.8 |
Decent enough Vietnamese, but nothing spectacular. |
| Caphe House |
7.2 |
Particularly good lunch-style Vietnamese, very tasty egg coffee and custard buns in particular. |
| Gold Mine |
8.9 |
Absolutely fantastic duck and honey roast pork. Have revisited multiple times, always brilliant. |
| Four Seasons |
8.2 |
In my opinion, slightly worse than Gold Mine, which given it's 2 doors down is quite a negative... but realistically very good Chinese. |
| Japes |
7.8 |
As far as pizza places go, it's interesting and the Chicago style pizza (while, to my knowledge, far from authentic) was really tasty. Figs and goat's cheese side dish? At a pizza place? - very nice, actually. |
| Polo Bar |
7.2 |
Some really good takeaway dishes that can be quite hard to get elsewhere (chilli dogs) and it's open extremely late - but a little expensive for what it is. |
| Blue Moon Thai Cafe |
8.4 |
Lamb Massaman from here is brilliant - have had it about 10 times (last one was actually a bit of a dud, hopefully not a change in chef/recipe). |
| Relais de Venise |
8.8 |
Another viral, walk-in only, queue for longer than you sit dining experience... but it's really nice. If you can get in quicker than say 30 minutes, I'd recommend it. Very reasonable price, great (but not the best) steak and chips, lovely experience once you're in. |
| Harrison's Coffee |
7.8 |
Lovely lunch cafe, good coffee, great sandwiches in great bread. Prices look high but the portions are enough to share 1 between 2. |
| Shake Shack |
8.3 |
My favourite fast food burger. Love the potato bun, satisfyingly stodgy and greasy. Also do a great coffee milkshake. |
| Humble Crumble |
8.8 |
The price is off-putting, but the portions are good and it's surprisingly very good crumble. |
| Five Guys |
7.4 |
Chips are good, portions are decent, price is upsettingly modern, burgers are good but nothing special. |
| Gopal's Corner |
6 |
A decent fast food Malaysian, good portion for the £14 "meal deal", nice curry. The Pisang (flat breads with banana) are delicious. |
| Honest Burger |
7.6 |
Putting this as fast food may be incorrect, as it's arguably a restaurant. Very good burgers, great variety (especially with the local burgers). Rosemary chips are really nice, and surprisingly good buffalo wings. |
| LEON |
6.8 |
Good coffee, good variety of meals, very small portions but the food is tasty and claims to be healthy... |
| Bleecker |
5.9 |
Weakest of the "good" burger places, reminds me more of a burger I might have been made at a party on someone's garden BBQ. |
| Ole & Steen |
6.6 |
Prices are honestly atrocious. Food is very nice though. Cinammon socials are fantastic. Weekly pastry discount makes it worth a visit (i.e. £2 for cinammon social). |

I like smash burgers, these ones are good - nice sauce. |
| Bao |
7.4 |
Price is bad, portions are bad, variety is good and taste is really good. Horlicks ice cream fried bao bun... |
| Load It Up |
5.2 |
Really average takeaway food, prices aren't great but they regularly do 2 for 1. |
| Mad Over Bagels |
7.5 |
Good bagels with a decent selection, also nice tater tots. |
| Loaf |
7.5 |
Nice hot honey chicken sandwich - bread arrived crispy despite takeaway travel, flavours were good. |
| La Maritxu |

Best cheesecake I've ever had, served with good coffee. |
| Nakki's Asian Wok |
6.2 |
Good Thai red curry, free spring rolls with the order - decent price anyway, but it was 2 for 1, so really good value. |
| Bread of Life |
9.2 |
Fattest I've ever been was when I was working walking distance from this place. Insanely good fried dumplings, all the food is amazing, well priced, and dilicious. |
| Monmouth |
9.3 |
Absolutely amazing coffee, anywhere serving their coffee will typically be good too. |
| Abuelo |
7.3 |
A good coffee spot, just outside of Covent Garden. |
| Starbucks |
2.3 |
Bad price, bad coffee, bad size. |
| Nero |
4.3 |
On the better side of the chains, but it's still not good. |
| Pret a Manger |
3.4 |
Bad coffee, bad prices, big chain means half the time it's made poorly too. |
| Costa |
4.1 |
If there isn't a Nero. |
| The Whale Tea |

Really nice dalgona coffee bubble tea... coffee. |
| Harris & Hoole |

Undoubtedly my favourite chain coffee place, not even close. |

Fallen in recent years, but still better than most chains. |

Serves Monmouth coffee, amazing prices, very good sandwiches, not a sit-in vibe. |
