Town Restaurant

Lunch at Town. Some fantastic food. Well cooked, quality produce. Really tasty. Top notch, friendly service in a cool, buzzy room. £34 for a snack+ 3 courses is amazing value for Drury Lane/Covent Garden. We did add bread (great gravy dip) and another snack however it’s a proper bargain. Available for lunch, early dinner and Saturdays. We will be back, no doubt. Highly recommended.

chose Town for my birthday celebration, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. My friend and I were looking for a special restaurant in the heart of London, and Town exceeded all our expectations. The menu is creative, refined, and far from ordinary, with plenty of options whether you are a meat lover, seafood enthusiast, or vegan. We started the evening with a glass of Prosecco before enjoying the set menu, and every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The fish was exceptionally delicate and perfectly cooked, with a sauce so smooth and rich that it simply melted on the palate. The fresh radishes paired with the umami hummus made for a surprisingly elegant and refreshing starter. To finish, we enjoyed a silky panna cotta with strawberries that provided the perfect sweet ending to the meal. What made the experience even more memorable was the warm atmosphere and attentive service, which made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the evening. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, creating a dining experience that was both relaxed and sophisticated. A wonderful place for a special occasion or simply for anyone who appreciates outstanding food. I would happily return and highly recommend Town to anyone visiting London.

This is a funny review for me to write. I came here just over a year ago - some (well travelled) friends were visiting from abroad and I had heard about this place when it was just opening so we made a reservation. Our reservation was on a Tuesday but it just so happened to fall the week after a few high profile rave reviews and was absolutely packed on the night we visited. The food was good, the decor impeccable, servers very nice but we waited ages for our food - and actually the time between each course got longer. They offered free drinks, champagne … like, you name it, they wanted to give it to us. But it was a work night and we all just wanted our food? The main courses eventually arrived after about 45 mins wait and no matter what you do, that will kill the vibe. The manager ended up comping our meal and all in all, okay it wasn’t a perfect evening but at least we felt they were truly sorry and they were generous about it! I hadn’t been back until last night - and I’m so glad I gave it another chance. The decor is still impeccable, like no where I have been. It’s a really lovely space and can seat a lot of people. It has the buzz of central London that is so nice to experience and something I don’t do that much despite living here. Our server, Jo, was incredible - attentive but casual, it was sort of like she was my friend’s mum and I was at her house for dinner. The food was excellent - better than the first time. Every dish was flavourful and fresh. I’m vegan and my partner is vegetarian and Town has a whole vegan menu that demonstrates real thought. We had the potato sourdough, 100-acre radishes, piattonne beans, striatta aubergine, spring vegetable curry, carrots with smoked almonds, fir potatoes. There was more on the menu I wanted to try but one can only order so much! Everything was so delicious and worked well together. I also had a great mescal margarita. The only negatives are: it could have been busier - it is a large space and the vibe was decent but by about 10pm it was feeling quite empty (it was a Friday). But maybe not super surprising given Town is a splurge meal and we are where we are in the cost of living crisis. And the only vegan dessert is a lemon sorbet, which I did try and it was nice (although very, very sweet), but you will never convince me that sorbet is a good dessert. I hear they are developing a vegan chocolate mousse, which I think we can all agree is a proper dessert.

Great interiors. Good service but it could be more curated based on the price you pay. Food is good but simple. We had risotto with bone marrow, the risotto was too lemony and too cooked for my liking. We had stake which was perfectly cooked. The potato cooked in fat and the squash fries and I would say one of the two is enough. With no drinks we paid 80£ each per 2 starters, one main, 2 sides and 1 dessert.
