Frog by Adam Handling

Covent Garden

About the restaurant

Michelin starred Frog by Adam Handling is a place to really submerge yourself in a theatrical show. You’re facing the kitchen, the chefs come to your table and you are able to really interact with every member of the team. Frog is luxury in an environment where you feel comfortable being whoever you are and where all elements in the restaurant are connected to offer a truly memorable experience.

The dishes are very emotional and they all mean something to Adam. Each and every one of the dishes has a story behind it, whether it’s a memory from Adam’s childhood or something that has inspired him or the team.

Very enjoyable experience at Frog. From first to last bite the food was spot on. Great service - the sommelier made a particularly excellent wine recommendation.

The food was great, but more importantly they took excellent care with my son's food allergies. The waitress brought out their folder with all the allergens listed and allowed us to peruse the folder ourselves and then she verified my son's food choices were safe.

As always, Wilton’s did not disappoint. I had my favorite lobster thermidor and even though we passed on desserts, the staff brought Hapoy Birthday chocolates to my guest whose birthday we were celebrating. I was very impressed as was she.

Portland Restaurant

4.9

4.9 (2369)

£41 and over

British

Marylebone

About the restaurant

Portland opened in 2015 and received a Michelin star the same year - which we have retained to this day. We try to offer the best contemporary example of fine dining in London – the finest produce we can find cooked with precision and a high level of technique led by our executive chef Stuart Andrew and head chef Chris Bassett and his team.

We offer a la carte and also a Tasting Menu at lunch and dinner.

Wine is as important as food and service at Portland. Our main wine list aims to offer brilliant value on interesting, different wines which we hope you seldom see on restaurant wine lists. Our Single Bottle List contains bins of some of the world’s finest wines and also more accessible offerings from our favourite producers.

Apart from the main restaurant, we hope that our private room and its offer of secluded and separate dining is just the thing for special family events or business meetings.

About the restaurant

November 2021 saw the hotly anticipated reopening of Langan’s Brasserie. With acclaimed duo, Graziano Arricale and James Hitchen at the helm, their mission is to bring all of the elegance and eccentricity of the original Brasserie - opened in 1976 as a joint venture between actor Michael Caine and the legendary restaurateur Peter Langan - back to the forefront of London culture. Reimagined for a new generation each of the three floors will have its own distinct visual identity. Upon entering, guests are instantly be immersed in a sense of occasion, synonymous with the ambience associated with the roaring twenties; from the bar area with its wall of bottles that stretches up to the ceiling, guests can head beyond the piano and past the bustling dining room to The Raw Bar. Offering breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, the menu features all of the classics one would expect.

With best wishes

Minus the host at the front our experience was amazing. Before we sat down, we were told we were given an hour and a half and then we’d have to be complete our meal (totally understandable). The host, then kind of made an issue and let another person in without his full party, and the staff had to pretty much almost escort the guy out because he was making a scene if the host never sat this guy (Without his full party) there wouldn’t have been a problem because there were folks that had reserve seats and they are probably waiting for their table for over 30 minutes Thank God for the actual sweet staff themselves. The handle the issue really good and the host himself was a jerk. Honestly they should get rid of him. Our weight staff was absolutely perfect and thanked us profusely. However this doesn’t negate how great the food is. The line was literally down the street as we waited for our table. We walked up to the front as we were 30 minutes early again the host was pretty rude, but with that being said once we got inside, it was really good so we ordered the fish and chips which we ordered the cod we had the scotch egg the fried mushroom the fried prawns, the house made pickles. The fish was perfectly crispy and nice and soft and moist in the inside. It had salt on there, but we added just a tiny bit more which was fine came with a lemon wedge. The chips were nice and fluffy and thick so you really just need one for two people. The fried mushrooms, came with a mushroom sauce and I just kept dipping in there over and over again and was pretty delicious. I will come back over and over again!

About the restaurant

We love mashed potato - it's the food equivalent of a great big hug. Our mash is made with only the very best Maris Piper potatoes - and it's made fresh. Not that day, not that hour, but right before you tuck in. That way it still has the creamy fluffy texture we've whipped into it.
Add a piping hot pie, free range sausages or vegetarian option.. pour on your choice of fresh gravy.. and you'r done. Feel all warm and friendly.
