I am lucky to be able to eat at so many great London restaurants. I do not believe there is anywhere better than Coronus. A beautiful room flooded with natural light at lunch and so atmospheric in the evening. Tables are well spaced. Service is exemplary and everything is top notch. The food, from a kitchen that is on top of the game is faultless. This is undoubtedly a restaurant that will earn at least a one star from Michelin. My advice go now before the crowds start packing the place!
