About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
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.

    It was fine. My chicken was lovely. My husband’s fish was disappointing and he thought the badly cooked sea bass he cooked at home the other day which stuck to our old frying pan had more flavour. It was average. The restaurant looks like it needs a bit of tlc. Staff were very professional but not especially friendly.

    I ordered the French toast for me and my friend for her birthday, service was brilliant, had a cute personalised “happy birthday” message with a candle sparkler which topped everything!! Tasted amazing, really satisfied our sweet cravings🥰. Also ordered mocktails which was perfect for refreshments. Noise level was quiet and had a really nice ambience. Overall so happy with the service and would definitely come back here again!!!

    Food and service really good. However, the women in our party said the toilets were not great. Need updating and refreshments.

    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!
