It is amazing food - it's in Kensington ( near $$$$ homes ) but you see every class of people there - not pretentious at all- this is a real Londoner restaurant not a tourist destination.

Full English Breakfast on a Monday morning hits the spot…read more Arrived at 8 AM and there was no wait on a Monday. We ordered the full English breakfast which comes with tea, blood sausage, sunny side up egg, bacon, turnip cake, hash brown, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, and of course, beans and toast. The plate is super filling. I loved how crispy the hash browns were. The beans were sweet and paired nicely with the toast and egg. The only con is the bacon was pretty salty. Service was friendly and efficient. They took away our plates for us. Make sure to order before getting seated. They'll call your number at the front counter when it's ready. The meal is huge, so I'd recommend sharing or ordering based off what you'd like to eat.

This place doesn't technically have it, but their braised beef & ale shortcrust pie comes very close, and it's one of their specialties. Creamed potato, greens, rich gravy... comfort food done right. £19.50 and honestly worth it, especially on a cold, wet day. The ambiance really welcomed me in: warm, cozy interior with the fireplace going and a charming vintage Christmas aesthetic. Add in friendly people and genuinely warm service. Exactly the kind of pub you hope to stumble into on a rainy London morning. I'm hyped.

Mari Vanna London - (38/50) …read more For the Russian diaspora visits to a restaurant of the Mari Vanna chain with locations in Moscow, London, Baku and New York is an occasionally unavoidable undertaking. Typically, Russians while abroad like to stay away from anything reminding them of home, in particular unknown fellow citizens from the former SSRs (). So a visit usually involves local (non-Russian) friends who have pushed hard enough to try Russian cuisine (without mustering the courage - potentially too dangerous! - to visit Russia itself) . The chain is interestingly owned by the mini-conglomerate Adamant.ru from Petersburg, which has the typical amalgamated history of daring entrepreneurship, favorable privatizations, the right coverage from above () and below (). No judgment on that please if you know anything about RU in the 90s!! . Atmosphere: furnished with period furniture and ample decorative pieces it is like a movie set for a Tolstoi novel or time travel into Russia's past. Hence warm, cozy and entirely pleasant to the eye. (8/10) . Crowd: romantically-minded couples (one side being almost always from Russia, see above), families, tourists. Don't expect a high turnout of self-respecting Russian models or Insta-Ladies. Occasionally more boisterous Vodka-fueled groups. (7/10) . Food: it is very good and very authentic. Home-style cooking at its best. Expect all the classics of Russian cuisine, from the breads, the soups, the salads, the fish & meat to the desserts. In this respect you can't go wrong here! Portions are generous so bring an appetite or share! (8/10) . Drinks: again, everything you may have heard about is available. Mors is very fruity and rather on the heavy side for my taste. (7/10) . Service: informed, efficient, fast, knowledgeable. Waiters obviously speaking English - but all native Russians, so an opportunity to hone your language skills! (8/10)

Let me start with the positive: it's in London, easy to find, and is centrally located. The…read moreatmosphere is really good and staff is friendly, courteous and welcoming but I felt they were somewhat stressed out. The space is small and it's really filled up with tables to a point where waiters have to navigate gingerly but it IS London and space is $$$$ but they could easily offset it with great food but alas, that wasn't the case. Perhaps, an unsuspecting non Russian tourist might enjoy the experience, but as a native, if I had to use one polite word and not a lot of Russian expletives - dreadful would be it. If you own this place or work there you will know that all pickles came from a jar. You'd know that pastries were not made by you and weren't made today but you don't charge yesterday's prices. Even the bread was ehh. Not going to list the dishes but they all were not that tasty and possibly not made by a Russian cook. Notice, I didn't even use the word "chef" which is what this type of restaurant ought to have. A MAJOR disappointment and an expensive one at that. Don't do this. If you happen to travel to LA, I will make Russian food for you or at least tell you where to go
