About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
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.

    We arrived early so headed to the martini bar where I had the best Vesper of my life, all the cocktails were outstanding, particularly The New Fashioned. The restaurant looks really nice, the service is incredible and the food is outstanding. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for and you certainly get fantastic food, great service and amazing cocktails

    We havent been for several years, and I have forgotten just how good it is. Superb prix fixe menu with a lot of choice and wonderfully cooked food with large portions, served with quiet efficiency.

    The Caesar salad was heavily dressed, heavy and rich. I needed only the tossed dressing with no additional mayonnaise added. We were not offered bread. My companion's sea bass was charred "all to hell and back". That mean's burned. For 175£ I found the quality ridiculous.
