  • I've only been for brunch so I don't know what it's like the rest of the time but the brunch menu is fabulous with both really varied savoury and sweet choices

  • I've had the buttermilk pancakes with bacon and maple syrup (the best ones in London in my opinion for this particular dish) and more recently

  • The French toast with vanilla mascarpone and griddled peach

  • I'm normally a fan of trying new places but this is one place I plan to keep coming back to for brunches when I'm in the mood for guaranteed great weekend morning food

  • Considering it was a Sunday and we hadn't made any reservations

  • Bagging a place in the highly touristy Covent Garden was close to impossible

  • Jackets and bags were escorted into Christopher's lavish restaurant upstairs

  • The gorgeously rustic staircase is a definite photo op)

  • I don't know if it was the time (we arrived around 12.30) or it was the rain

  • The restaurant is large and airy with tall ceilings

  • After settling in a corner table we ordered our drinks and happily ate the bread that was served on he house

  • A Bloody Mary but with gin was nice and spicy

  • Maybe a little too spicy for my liking with the horseradish coming through a bit too strong

  • My friend was on detox diet and so she ordered the Vitamin C smoothie which she said was not too bad

  • I could do with a bit more because its brunch and you know you've skipped breakfast and its supposed to fill you enough to not eat lunch later

  • I ordered the corn beef hash with bearnaise sauce and added a poached egg to it (at £

  • My friends Portobello mushroom eggplant caviar with red onion and melted tallegio cheese was served on a toasted walnut bread

  • I think this was perhaps the best decision we took that day

  • The warm brioche French toast served with roast peach

  • Vanilla mascarpone and maple syrup was perhaps the best I've ever had

  • So delicate the toast was and the hint of cinnamon did just what it was supposed to

  • I'm not spoiling it with more adjectives

  • A meal for two with drinks came to 28pp which also included an optional service tax and a £

  • S serves halal beef and lamb and they are able to pre order halal chicken (although there is only one chicken dish on the entire menu) if they are given 48 hours notice

  • Just off the Strand and located in the heart of theatreland is Christopher&rsquo

  • It originally opened in 1991 and was refurbished in 2013

  • The meal started off with a warm bread basket and a choice of two butters

  • Heck there was no barbeque sauce or ketchup in sight

  • The burrata and tomato salad were presented beautifully

  • The mozzarella was creamy and soft but once again the portion was disappointing and the salad did not add much excitement to the dish

  • There was an option to have the steak blackened with Cajun spices (the waiter highly recommended this)

  • The quality was spot on and despite two of the steaks being cooked beyond what had been requested

  • The steaks were served with a choice of sauce

  • There were no side dishes provided with the mains (disappointing given the price)

  • The Parmesan truffle fries were indulgent and delicious

  • Sweet potato fries were also good but lurked in the shadows of the &lsquo

  • It was pretty as a picture and served with a butternut squash galette and a minted pea puree and celeriac mash which were both spoon pushed in abstract patterns across the plate

  • All things considered the restaurant was more a fine dining experience rather than the American Grill I hoped it would be

  • Other mains were around £

  • The pre and post theatre menu is much more reasonably priced but the timings are a little awkward

  • S was polite but the price tags on the dishes were a bit hefty for the portions that were being served

  • It was sophisticated but the ambience was not particularly lively or relaxing

  • American temporary restaurant specialises in lobster and steak so I decided to go with their specialities and it left me with mixed feelings

  • Sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce

  • Medium rare but it was a tad chewy and unmemorable

  • If you find yourself mooching around Covent Garden with no particular culinary plans

  • I urge you to make time to start your day with brunch at Christopher's

  • Only problem is finding anything to do afterwards which will top it

  • Everything about this classy establishment is the epitome of cool

  • The restaurant itself is elegant and spacious click on the link below to take you straight to the website

  • The food photography alone is enough to entice you

  • The seared tuna with sweet mustard and wasabi is utterly sublime

  • Christopher's is a rare exception

  • Me the eggs Benedict with hash brown is one of the finest breakfast experiences in town

  • A tortilla with spicy tomato sauce

  • You just know that every dish is really well thought out without being too fussy or ponsy

  • I always start the brunch with a Bloody Mary

  • I don't know what they do but all I can say is that it's spot on

  • I'm pretty excited to start this food reviewing journey so what better place to start with then none other then Christopher's

  • The service and the ambiance of the place was just first class

  • As I'm Muslim I had to preorder our meals and suggest halal meat and they were kind enough to order some halal meat in for us

  • The restaurant is located in Covent Garden opposite the Lyceum Theatre

  • It was the first time I had Scallops and it was a really meaty fish and the orange and cardamom dressing gave it a great contrasting flavour to the fish as well as the chervil root cream

  • The Mac and Cheese was gooey cheesy rich and absolutely delicious

  • We ordered the 6oz Prime Rib eye Blackened with Cajun Spice accompanied with Bearnaise sauce and Sweet Potato fries match made in heaven

  • The perfect steak meal and at this point it was a 5/5 for the restaurant

  • Medium steak which was slightly pink but full of flavour that Cajun spice just took it to another level with the rich bearnaise sauce (just amazing)

  • I ordered my burger medium as well with truffle fries and in my opinion an absolute must if you go Christopher's

  • The dessert platter was to some extent really average and just looked a mess on the plate with a birthday message

  • They do a long plate platter as well which is more appealing

  • I can't remember most of the desserts but I'm happy they were of a small size because I was absolutely full

  • Catching up with family or grabbing a cocktail or two with a date

  • The brunches are to die for (fresh smoothies

  • Pecan pie and the brownie which were the saving grace

  • I was eager to try the truffle Parmesan fries and this too was a hit alongside the complimentary tomato bread

  • The setting was indeed so fancy and I would suggest avoid dinner here but opt for the brunch which I hear is pleasurable

  • It has a really nice cosy and comfy atmosphere and the ambience is really good

  • I had their famous French toast and they were really delicious

  • The portion size was decent with decent prices

  • A central venue with a bit of character

  • Placing our order was prompt to the extreme

  • Healthy juice drink was pretty nasty

  • I got a nice cozy table with a view overlooking the surrounding theaters

  • Ordered thanks to the helpful staff a starter and a main that satisfied my mouth palette with flying colours

  • I'd recommend Christopher's Dining Room (Covent Garden) to people with class and style

  • What should have been a fine dining experience was more of a common dining experience

  • I believe there are better options in the area

  • Even some of the sea food items are not halal as they contain alcohol

  • This steak was really bad

  • As it was pretty small and I mentioned to the staff that it was not enjoyable and they took the dessert we had off the bill

  • Food tasted really good however it was soooo little on the plate

  • The espresso martini was fine but the pornstar martini was too sweet had to get it changed

  • The wagyu burger was again very average

  • Blackened salmon was good but the portion was too small and the only thing which was good was the rigatoni
