Very good place for both breakfast or dinner. I had a solo breakfast and loved my truffle scrambled eggs. And then the dinner was a group dinner for 12 of us and it was very good overall. Small details were missed. I don't know how you don't have any menu to go with a group dinner. Guests want to know what they are eating esp if it's family style. I had to ask for them for the table, which should have been a given. The food was very well portioned, we had PLENTY for our dinner. It was a lovely evening and one where next time in London I would to come back to this super moody and cozy spot.
Just excellent. The food, cocktails, and ambience are amazing at this spot. Really enjoyed the ceremony and also how delicious the pork pie was. Schnitzel was delicious as well the Mac and cheese was the bomb. So rich and delicious. Service was excellent and matched the opulence of the spot. Really great.
The food is as good and the place is as gorgeous. The Mac and cheese with beef on top was like the greatest Mac and cheese I've ever had. The shrimp cocktail was unique and different but so so tasty I had a latte and great sourdough bread and I loved every bite!
The food was delicious;we had the best fish and chips ever,it was crispy also the fat fries were also good.The servers were very nice and attentive. They served the food at an appropriate pace and did not rush us.The environment was friendly and welcoming,the room was spacious and comfortable. It had paintings and a sculpted ceiling, plus two chandeliers that were the main source of light. Candles were also lighting the room. The tables were neat and clean.It was an overall great experience.The End
The food is as good as ever at Berners Tavern, but the service was a bit of a disaster. They did not clear plates and glasses or pour the wine, just not very professional. The room is of course very impressive and a highlight. I'm hoping that it was just an off night and that the service will not be so bad in the future.
Impressive meal in an impressive tavern in London! One of my colleagues in our London office planned a dinner for us while on business in September and he is quite the foody and this was a great example of how he didn't steer us wrong! Berners is not the typical 'tavern' as it is a much higher class version of one. Artwork covers all of the available wall space much like you see in old movies where they have a drawing room. The restaurant has high ceilings and feels very elegant though maybe a bit louder than I would have liked it to be. Service was excellent and we had a number of servers helping us throughout the evening as well as a sommelier. The wine was hit and miss. The first bottle was okay, but then we tried another and it was really good. The salad I had and the macaroni and cheese I ordered were both sensational. I suppose the idea is that it's upscale pub food and they pull it off very well! I have no idea what the prices are since it was a business dinner and I didn't really look, but I imagine it's pretty pricey. Not sure how touristy this, but if I was British, I'd take people here to show off how great dining in London can be!
Our last meal in London when were visiting the city earlier this month was breakfast at Berners Tavern, and I loved our experience. The restaurant is located inside the London EDITION, a very swanky hotel. The restaurant is gorgeous - high ceilings, crown molding, gallery walls of paintings, a beautiful bar... The service was outstanding, the kind of service you expect at a very nice restaurant. They were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I couldn't leave London without having a Full English, and their version was great (pork sausage, two eggs, smoked bacon, roasted tomato, portabello mushroom, black pudding, baked beans, hash browns, and toast). I also had tea and a fresh apple juice. My husband had their smoked salmon and scrambled eggs (salmon caviar, dill, and Borough Market sourdough bread), which was great as well) and a cappuccino. They had so many more things on the menu I would have liked to try - I guess I'll save those for my next time at Berners Tavern! read more
I wasn't sure where this was, but it's inside the hotel. It's a very beautiful space. The champagne trolley was a cool touch. The service was good, but there were a couple of misses. I ordered my steak medium well, but it came out undercooked. They did redo it, but I would still say it was undercooked, but I just left it. Also, I ordered the mac & cheese, which I was really excited about because it said it was a specialty, but it never arrived. But by that time I was full, so we just left it. The server did take an item off the bill to compensate. read more
Come for the ambiance, stay for the food. I came here with a large group of people for a corporate event, and everyone had great things to say about the experience. First, the space is very ornate and classy, with thoughtful decor that captures your attention as soon as you enter. The service was generally good, though certain drink orders took a very long time, and it also took a while for us to get more water. Whenever napkins were left on the table, even if we were sitting there, someone would grab them and fold them neatly, which I thought was a nice touch. Now, the food and drinks. We had a prix fixe menu. I really enjoyed the shrimp salad as a starter and the bread was fine. Of the main dishes, I liked the beef pasta and the cauliflower the best. The steak was okay, the potatos were nice too. The fish didn't have as much flavor/seasoning as I had hoped. The ice cream was okay, but I didn't love it. I did enjoy my espresso martini to cap it off! Overall, if you're looking for upscale dining, with an upscale vibe and upscale price, this is a good spot for you. read more

Met some friends for brunch at this gorgeous spot! So much art, decor and ambiance to enjoy your stay! I wouldn't recommend the fish and chips as it's a little pricey and there's better in other spots!! read more

An absolutely beautiful room. Outstanding service. The food was great as well. I had the mushroom soup as a starter and if you dig mushrooms this is amazing. Also had the crusted cod. Perfectly prepared fish in a light sauce with some mixed blanched veg and legumes. Really nice wines by the glass. Kinda perfect place. read more

Berners Tavern is attached to the London Edition hotel, just north of Oxford Street. If you are in the area, fancy yourself as fancy, and are in London, you must visit Berners. The London Edition is a very swanky place. Berners is no different. It is a well dressed, well kept crowd. The food is spectacular, the service is very good, and the decor is very ornate. Okay, you're in Europe, so don't expect super fast or responsive service, but it's good for Europe. I had the mushroom soup and the Lamb chops. Both were spectacular. The mushroom soup comes out with just the mushroom and a soft cooked egg. They then pour the broth in the bowl. Nice show. And it's also accompanied by mushroom toast...whatever that is, but it was good. The lamb chops were spectacular. Must be a lot of sheep in the neighborhood! Try this place. Get a gin and tonic and relax with the swanky people. read more

Very impressive decor inside. We were very excited for our lunch at Berners Tavern and booked it well in advance to ensure we would get a chance to visit. We went with the set menu for lunch. The risotto with cauliflower cheese croquette came highly recommended so I decided to order that, my boyfriend had the steak. The croquette on top of my meal was delicious but the risotto was cold. I mentioned this to the waitress, once we finally got their attention, and she said she'd talk to the chef. Nothing seemed to come of that. We ordered dessert, which was delicious, probably the highlight of our visit. For such a nice establishment, I would expect much better customer service, considering I pretty much sent my entire meal back in full. Received the bill and we were charged for everything, I would have expected a least a drink comped considering my meal was cold and I didn't eat it, however I guess they did not care. Very taken aback that they do not seem to care about customer service. read more

For the price you pay. I expected a lot better and a big better portion. The risotto was slightly undercooked, the cod was slightly over and so was the lamb neck. Not it did not worth the £50 charged per person. Or around £25-30 for a main. If it was £15-20 for a main I would have been less annoyed. read more

One of the best meals we ever had, from appetizers, cocktails and entree. Definitely coming back when in London. When we travel we usually rely on yelp to find the best eateries read more
What to do when you have an 8 hour layover at Heathrow airport? Make your way to a delicious meal, of course! Since there were no reservations available we had to walk in at 6pm right when they opened and snag a seat. Overall it was a great meal, but not a 5-star-blow-my-mind meal. Although I think the bar might have a separate yelp page and I would give the bar 5 stars. Great drinks and a very friendly bartender! We got the crispy pig head appetizer and though it had a lot of interesting flavors it isn't something I would order again. Also, the rotisserie chicken was rather dry for being so pricy and lacked any real flavor. Where the restaurant did shine, though, was the steak, the sauces (both the coq au vin for the chicken and the peppercorn for the steak), the massive french fries (more like golden delicious potato wedges), and the wine list! a 40 dollar bottle of stunning bordeaux? Don't mind if I do... drink that whole bottle right before my flight. All in all a worthwhile experience filled with good food and good service--1.5 hours well spent to end our layover in London. read more
I landed in London and was extremely exhausted from the flight. I just wanted to sleep. I checked into my hotel at the London Edition (which I absolutely love love love!), and was feeling peckish and wanted to pass out. The staff recommended their restaurant Berners Tavern for lunch, which is under the guidance of Michelin Starred chef Jason Atherton. They made reservations for me and I went to take a long nap in my most comfortable bed ever (the bed reminds me of the Four Seasons). Upon arrival, the restaurant was packed. It looked like this is a common place for people to have lunch meetings. The décor is classic, like an old library with a bit of sophistication put to it. Photographs with beautiful frames line each wall with a beautiful chandelier set in the middle of the space. The chairs were so comfortable. I wanted to order something small cause I knew I would be splurging and gorging on food later that evening at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. This is what I got: TRADITIONAL BRITISH PORK PIE SERVED TABLE SIDE (£17.00): English Piccalilli, Pickled Vegetables, Mustard. This was just ok for me. I prefer a flaky crust. I thought it was going to be warm, but it was cold. It was more like a thick pate. The pickled vegetables were good to cut through the fat. I got a bit of all the mustards. The traditional dijon was my favorite. TRIPLE COOKED CHIPS (£5.00): I was quite disappointed with my chips. They weren't anything like Heston Blumenthal's triple cooked chips. They were a tad bit soggy. COFFEE: It was delicious and creamy. I would order it again. MY FAVORITE DISH. CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUT FLAMNG ALASKA, SPECULOOS, AND COFFEE CRUMBLE, HAZELNUT CUSTARD (£18.00). This dish is freakin amazing. It totally made my lunch that much better. It arrives plain and then they add an alcohol and light it on fire and pour it over the ice cream and whipped cream. It starts to flame and it brulee's the top part of the baked alaska. Overall, Berner's Tavern was good but not amazing. It took awhile for the staff to take my order. I almost felt they ignored me since I was dining solo. The food was good, but I think I expected much more. The saving grace was the baked alaska. It was one of the best baked alaska's I've had in a really long time. Sure it's boozy, but that's the fun of it. I loved that it was also conveniently located within my hotel. Would I come back? Possibly, but I would order something else other than the pie. read more
I recently visited for a work dinner. As there was a large group of us and it was a late booking, we were put in the upstairs private dining room with a set menu - good in a sense but we felt a bit let down that we weren't able to eat in the gorgeous main room. I will preface by saying that when the food came it was in good time and absolutely delicious, however before this, we were probably sat down for at least an hour before any food orders were even taken. Maybe 40-45 mins before drink orders as well. There was no bread on the table until 5 minutes before starters were served, so we were absolutely ravenous by this point. We also ended up having to serve our own wine a few times as the waiting staff were nowhere to be seen for a lot of the time before the food was served. A few of us had some changes to the set menu and they were very accommodating to this. The food was also to a very high standard and I was highly impressed with what we had. The focaccia starter (I had mine without tomatoes) was delicious but a large portion. The steaks were very good, and the mac and cheese with braised beef was one of the best meals I've tried in a long time. Very rich and decadent, and also a very large portion, so atleast the cost is reflected in the size. The desserts were beautiful and I was impressed with the taste there too. As well as wine we ordered a round of cocktails. I was appreciative that we were given recommendations on these by the serving staff, however I was less appreciative when my choices were questioned. I'd initially picked a special cocktail and was told I shouldn't have it as it was 'too sweet'. I love sweet drinks and told him as much, but he told me I shouldn't have it unless it was with dessert and picked me out another one. This isn't the worst thing ever, but i do feel like he could've respected the fact that I said I like a sweet drink instead of insisting it wasn't right for me. I would love to give Berners Tavern a five but these little things just impacted my experience. I'd like to go in a different circumstance and see if the service is better, as I think otherwise it was fantastic. I've attached some photos of the food so you can see how great it looked. read more
All I can say is, "Wow!" During my holiday visit to London, I decided on Berner's Tavern for my Christmas Day meal. And I was pleasantly surprised with the level of care and attention that went into every aspect of my meal. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a friendly staff, who were easy to chat with and happy to indulge my in a bit of conversation before and after the meal. An army of servers ensured I was happy and well-fed, and the kitchen staff did a bang up job of preparing every one of my dishes with love. Not a single plate went back with any trace of my meal. I gobbled up every single morsel throughout the meal and would've happily unbuckled my belt and enjoyed 4 or 5 more courses. If you're in the area and looking for a complete and memorable dining experience, I can't recommend Berner's Tavern enough. From the freshly baked bread to the well-crafted desserts, I'm sure it will be easy for you to fall in love with it; much like I did. read more

Arguably the best Mac and cheese London has to offer. Four different cheeses, artfully blended to perfection and mixed with well cooked macaroni! I opted for the braised beef atop my Mac and it was delightful! If you're hungrier, I'd recommend you get the bbq pork chop as well. My oh my, every morsel was tasty AF and I ensured that I Sackitey every bite until the very end. I can't over emphasize the joy this place filled me with. It's seriously worth the visit and I'd encourage everyone to try it out! And seriously, don't forget to get the Mac and cheese when you visit!!!!! read more
