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.

    All in all I’d say it’s okay, the French toast is definitely nice and the quality on the sausage for the tex meal was really good. Not a restaurant I’d go back to often but it’s okay to try.

    Had to wait for table to be ready despite making a reservation, food was pleasant but incorrect french toast was presented & when waitress realised error two small peaches were brought to table to attempt to rectify, restaurant is also extremely loud.

    The location, ambience and price of Christopher’s is just what you would expect of a top London restaurant (and I have been many times before). That said, the food for our Saturday brunch was average at best. The omelettes (a guest and mine) were overcooked (dry) with little filling; not the luxurious omelette presentations I have had in the past. Similarly, the side-dish of hash browns was anything other than what one might have expected in a top-class American style restaurant; soft mash that had a little browning here and there - where was the lovely naughty crispy offering? Despite the disappointments I was sufficiently hungry to eat the offerings and leave. I did send the supposed tobacco onions back; they were neither crispy or thinly cut and some fool had decided to add a load of spice that made it/them inedible. There are too many other good restaurants in London to revisit here

    Really good, great service, good food and lovely cocktails. Let us sit on longer for an extra bottle of wine and then port. All very good.

    Overpriced, average food, served by unfriendly staff. Even the meet and greet team on the front of house couldn’t raise a smile and on leaving, didn’t bother looking up from their phones to thank us for coming. Would not return and would not recommend to anyone.

    We booked for Sunday brunch. Our waiter kept disappearing and only after 40 minutes did he come take our order. Food came out at different times, 15 mins. to an hour later. The Christmas cocktails were all ice, one teaspoon of actual drink. There was nothing to drink. What a waste of money. Food was okay. Eggs holladaise were nice. Salmon eggs were too watery. French toast was fantastic but that took one hour to come out. For over £250 spent plus service charge don’t waste your money here.
