Best Restaurants for Foodies in Westminster

Lovely atmosphere, food was nice, service was good

The food was amazing. What detracted from the experience was the service - they were actually OVERLY attentive. The waiters kept interrupting our dinner conversation to ask if they could clear the table, take plates away, refill our wines, get us more water, etc. At one point I got tired of them interrupting so I ordered a second glass of wine I didn't really want just to get them to stop bothering us. The restaurant was not that crowded so they did not need to turn our table over quickly. My advice to them is to give their patrons more breathing space to enjoy their dinners.

Benares Restaurant is AWESOME AMAZING AND FANTASTIC Ambiance was GORGEOUS Staff was gracious Vegetarian appetizers were DELICIOUS Vegetarian entrees were unique especially paneer makhani DESSERT especially Rus Malai Rose Cardamom Tres Leches was BEYOND DELICIOUS HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION

A brilliant restaurant tucked away on Marylebone Lane. The focus is on simple food done really well letting the ingredients just shine. We ordered a selection of a plates that the staff brought out at the perfect times so that the table was not overloaded. The wine is also exceptional. Would highly recommend

The Orchard Room is a lovely part of the Conrad Hotel. We arrived for our afternoon tea, unsure of where to go and the lovely gentleman from the concierge walked us to The orchard Room. He then spoke to a man in a black suit to let him know we had arrived and our booking name. However what happened next was not professional. He was telling the concierge gentlemen to take us to our seats and kept pointing at the table, as though he was too busy. There was only one other table having afternnoon tea! Eventually another gentlemen appeared in a grey waistcoat and took us to our table. We were then advised that whatever we didn’t consume we could take home. Fast forward… we were then advised at the end that we couldn’t take anything home. We felt that the conversation previously taken place, was conflicting. I don’t mean to say, but the gentlemen could hardly speak English, so there was a little confusion his end. We booked The Orchard Room from an instagram recommendation. The afternoon tea is £65. For this price we would have expected from the beginning to be shown to our seats, as oppose to to the Manager being ‘too busy’ and palming his duties off onto the concierge. On a positive note the afternoon tea was excellent. The table display, the crockery was simply outstanding. We will not return sadly.
