My friends were absolutely in awe of this place. As an introduction to French food, they set the bar really high. The restaurant is very elegant and has a very elevated feel to it. And every dish we got was amazing. My friends even tried the escargot and liked it. Personally that was my favorite dish. The sauce was absolutely amazing and they were cooked perfectly. My second favorite was actually the croque monsieur. The bread was perfectly crunchy on the outside with a perfect cheese to ham ratio. The arancini were so good that we all forgot to dip it in the sauce. We tried the sauce after and it was also very good. The other dishes were all delicious as well. We had absolutely zero complaints about both the food and the service! 10/10

We were hard pressed to find a restaurant a bit more "down to earth" whilst staying in uber fancy Knightsbridge, so luckily a quick search pointed me through Hyde Park north to the lovely Angelus. Tucked into Bathhurst Street, it was the perfect dining destination to ring in year 4 of being married. We wanted something nice to celebrate our anniversary, but not...opulent/over the top. Angelus fit the bill perfectly. We arrived a bit early or our reservation and opted to have a few glasses of red wine on the sidewalk seating before coming in for dinner. We were escorted in, sat at a The service is the stuff dreams are made of. I am not kidding, one time I picked up my last bite of bread and the plate had disappeared to ready the table for the next course before it reached my mouth. ON POINT doesn't even begin to describe it. And not just efficient, but friendly (as friendly as French guys get, right? Yes!) We felt welcome the entire evening from start to finish. The food, yes -- that too was fantastic! I enjoyed the beef tartare and the chicken, both gorgeous, rich and decadent. The menu is truly French, not French-British or French-American so do be prepared to see snails and the like. Yum, you'll like it if you give it a try. They event sent out a small anniversary plate for us with some delectable little desserts. Such a pleasant London meal -- Angelus boasts old school charm, but with all the polish and sophistication of its West London location. Service, food, ambience - 5 stars.

What my friends and I received was a slab of overcooked meat which looked and tasted like a cheap piece of pork chop. Underneath was a small piece of potato or something. A total disappointment.

The menu is original, it's not the classic pasta and pizza Italian restaurant. We ordered some bruschetta to share as starters. They were very good, especially the sundried tomatoes. As a main, I ordered the vegetarian "crostina", which was very good but the portion was rather small, I found. I then had a tiramisu for dessert but it was a bit disappointing. One of my friend had the "il tartare burger" and it was good apparently. The staff are friendly. They forgot to bring the soup one of my friend ordered but when I asked for it they apologised, brought it promptly and they did not charged us for it. On overall, a good italian restaurant with an original menu.

You chose the type of meat you wanted for your Sunday roast and it came with all the fixings; vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, etc. Our table ordered chicken, beef and the combination platter with pork belly, chicken, and beef. Though not your typical British pub for Sunday roast, it provided the right atmosphere and food we wanted for our last day in London.
