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.

    Nice place for brunch with simple decor. Service was slow and the food was nice but costly.

    Had a lovely time celebrating Mother’s Day! Even though we were due to traffic and train delays, the hostess at the front door was still able to get us a table which I’m so grateful for! (I did not catch her name but she is a black girl with fair skin, a septum piercing and was wearing a black hair wrap). Will always come back to Christopher’s as it is one of my favourite places for brunch. Thank you again!

    Service was below average and did not meet our expectations! From the initial meet & greet to the table service, staff were not attentive they appeared miserable and certainly not interested in providing excellent customer service. The restaurant is upstairs, it was loud and we could not have conversations without shouting. There was music playing but it could hardly be heard, ambience was terrible! Tables were squashed into ever inch of floor space, we couldn’t even get out of the table properly without disturbing others. It cost £180 for 4 of us the have brunch ….. NOT worth it …. Go elsewhere !

    Waiter looked somewhat anxious and passed out on us through all the gestures and the way he spoke to us

    The meal was very good and a great prix fixe price pre theatre. We found the drinks expensive (not alcoholic, just soda water!) at £5 for a small bottle. Overall , very good and would go again but the bill soon added up to way more than the prix fix price

    Extremely helpful and polite staff, attentive without bothering us. Food was excellent. Prices were high but not excessive - we shared a starter and ate two courses, plus a few drinks, it was around £70 each. We arrived early so we asked to wait in the lounge which was very relaxed too. We were there just over 2 hours in total. At 5pm on a Tuesday it wasn't very full, and that made it a great place to wait before our theatre show.

    Nice food but service was very slow. A fancy restaurant serving American food with a bit of a twist. Let down by poor attentiveness from staff
