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.

    Didn’t rate the Texas Grill today. Otherwise we’ve always had a good experience here.

    The whole experience was perfect for our situation, meeting family after a year apart. We talked and talked and were not rushed through our meal The food was excellent and the service impeccable. The Espresso Martini s were just the best cocktails

    Food was fantastic, a little expensive for the portion size, but clearly great quality ingredients. Lovely waiting staff.

    As always Christopher’s offer’s a great pre-theatre dining experience. We found the menu a little lacking lustre today for some reason. Although my choices tasted great - salmon cerviche and crab pasta.

    We had a lovely experience once again at Christopher's. My husband had the steak and I had lobster Mac & cheese. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak but I unfortunately did not 100% enjoy my.mac & cheese. I felt the sauce had a stronger, tangier flavour than usual. Not sure whether it was too cheesy or if the lobster flavour was stronger than usual. Just personal preference so I wouldn't choose it again.

    All lovely. Food is great and also service. Music a bit too loud but maybe is just their style.
