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!

The most fantastic dining experience. The food was exquisite, beautifully presented and served with care. Luca who served us knew the tiniest details about each dish and took care to explain what he was presenting. I have never met a sommelier like Stephan before. His knowledge of wines was second to none and he expertly guided us to a wine I wouldn’t have normally chosen - and boy was it good. The whole team at the restaurant were excellent and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you!
