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.

This is our 2nd visit - the first was for brunch with friends before a matinee performance and the second was for lunch also before a matinee performance. On both occasions the food was exquisite, presentation outstanding and the service faultless. Christopher’s is definitely my go to if I’m near Charing Cross Station.

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
