Five stars for a quaint restaurant tucked away in the Mayfair area. We actually just stumbled upon The Little Square while looking for lunch. Fair warning, it is very small but definitely worth it. FOOD: Pricing was on par with other restaurants in the area (£58 for two people). I ordered a fruit tea, French onion soup, and mushroom risotto. (Note: If you want chicken, it's an extra £4.60.) The French onion hit the spot, and I really appreciated the baguette used in the soup. My risotto was really nicely cooked, and I don't think it really needed chicken. My friend also ordered the French onion, but she got an earl gray tea, spinach and goat cheese tart, and sticky toffee cake. All of the food was delicious. The portions were very generous - especially for the entrees. I wish we could have carried out the rest of leftovers, but our hotel didn't have a fridge. Lastly, the dessert was delicious. My favorite part was the toffee surrounding the cake, which was a bit dense for my liking. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. SERVICE: Our servers were strllar, though I wish I could remember their names, which weren't on the receipt. Great job being attentive and helpful in being knowledgeable about their menu. LOCATION & AMBIANCE: Definitely off the beaten path, but well worth the slight detour. It's in a quaint area. The windows were left open, which let in the smokers' cigarette smoke, but we just moved tables away from the window. I'm not sure if they have an upstairs. I would not mind going back. Great find on my most recent European adventure. read more

Little Square - Fruit tea - British Near Me - London, XGL

We didn't see the upstairs area, but downstairs was intimate and tiny. We had bread, which was tasty but would have been excellent if warmed up a bit and served with softened butter, as the butter was quite hard. We both tried the evening's special. Penne pesto pasta with pancetta, olives, sun dried tomatoes, and artichokes. It was rich and filling, and delicious! We loved it at the little square. read more

I don't leave reviews, but this place deserves the review. I was surprised with the flavor of the risotto and the dessert. Best place that I ate food in London. read more

Great little restaurant. The ambiance and interior was warm and inviting. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beetroot salad with goat cheese and walnuts was nicely presented. The salad was good but so what unremarkable. I get the salad was really too chilled and the walnuts could have benefited from some candying. The mushroom risotto was my entree and it arrived promptly and well presented. The flavors were excellent and the dish a delight. If had any complaint about the risotto it may have been a tad undercooked. But a minor complaint. The wines list is nice and overall this place gives a very high value for an affordable price in central London. read more

Wow. This place was amazing and so delicious. I had the chicken kabob special with basmati rice and yoghurt sauce, amazing! The chicken with Mac and cheese was spectacular! The burger was juicy and perfect medium. Honestly a fantastic meal. Also the service was wonderful, people are nice and the place itself was very quaint. Loved it!!! read more

Ok, so i have eaten here twice now during my current stay in London. This place is really top notch. They have a great selection of wines to choose from and the wait staff is very friendly and attentive. I've had the grilled sea bass and the duck confit with lentils. Both dishes were very fresh, served hot, and delicious. It's a pretty tiny little place and has been busy both times i've been there. Just got lucky that they had a table open each visit. read more

What a wonderful find! Food was absolutely outstanding and so very well prepared. Incredible character, and a place we will certainly visit everytime in the area. Small, quaint and that amazing feel of being in that special little spot in a perfect neighborhood. Daily specials were exactly that - special! Add to that were the Salmon and topping everything else was dessert. Something to not miss. Do visit - the folks here are a pleasure to dine with. read more

Generally unimpressed. Bread came with basically frozen bread, risotto was pretty flavorless. Sticky toffee pudding and wine were good. But for what I paid (£42 / $55), I expected more. read more

Summary based on one pleasant lunch while staying around the corner. --Mid range, well prepared --friendly, attentive, unhurried service --good choice for something above casual in the Shepherd Market area read more

Little place with great character, wooden tables. I like the upstairs which you can easily privet use for a large table (14). We walked in and were able to be sat straight away ( 3 people) Service friendly and prompt Food - Chicken burger with avocado was really good and tasty. Go for the large chips! - regular beef burger was good but I have preferred the chicken one - chicken kebab with rice and yogurt sauce was really good. Tasty rice, chicken was well seasoned and the sauce was light. I took a side of season veggie which was the perfect addition to the dish, otherwise it would have miss a bit of green to be honest. - very small selection of dessert (4) and I didn't go for any of them tonight. read more

So had the little square burger here. Meh, not bad but definitely nothing great. It's filling as it comes with French fries but definitely nothing special. Prices were a a bit high for the portions. This place is tiny. It can be cosy but if it's busy it's uncomfortably small. The service was good. The staff is polite. read more

What a nice surprise! We wandered along looking for a bite for dinner and passed by this place three times. Traipsed around looking at every little bijou place and reading menus. Checked out dishes folks were eating as we passed by windows. This was it! We weren't sure, but went inside where they greeted us kindly. It is tiny! And so nice. We had bread to start and my husband ordered a chicken burger. It was so good looking! Like a hot chicken salad or something in a bun with fries. He devoured that. I ordered the sea bass with new potatoes, mushrooms, and spinach (who do you think is more adventuresome in food-land?) and a side of veggies. WOW WOW WOW The sea bass was delicious and the foundation of potatoes spinach and mushrooms was perfect. Really. The side veggies were fresh and cooked crisp -- very colorful. Fresh, delicious, nutritious, I would go back! Try it out. (Oh, you also should know that small meal did cost 50 pounds for two people.) read more

A great neighborhood find! Wonderful for a relatively quick bite to eat that is not pub grub (which I love too). Small family owned place in a cute little neighborhood behind the Hilton London Green Park. Good food and quaint. I will return! read more

Wow what a nice treat in London. We had a great meal and I would highly recommend.

Excellent meal. Small restaurant with a great atmosphere. Chicken burger, sea bass in particular were very good. Also, fantastic Caesar salad. read more

First, it is not British food. Staff speaks French. The food is more of New American (whatever that is). But the quality is surprisingly high. Simple dish but very well made. Highly recommend. read more

We stumbled upon this charming neighborhood and picked this place because of the friendly hostess. The options were plentiful and the selection of the lamb shank and chicken kebab where wonderful and to top it off a great dessert and coffee. Thanks for the wonderful service. read more

Excellent food, excellent value wine and super excellent service. The atmosphere was so nice. Every time I visited London, I visited this nice small restaurant, which always made me happy. read more

Baked goat cheese on a spinach tartlet with pesto was awesome!

We found Little Square around the corner from our hotel on a recent stay in London. It was a cold and rainy night and we didn't feel like exploring, and Little Square looked sweet, and, well, it was right there. We really enjoyed this place. It's so cozy and comfortable, perfect for our rainy cold London night. Service was perfect. The food was really nice - my scallops were ultra-fresh, and my partner enjoyed his meal equally. I'm looking forward to returning to Little Square next time in London. read more

This is a little gem in the heart of Mayfair. "Little" is a fitting description as there are only a few tables on each level and a few out front. We loved the food and intimate atmosphere and were very appreciative that they even had room for us (the concierge at the hotel got us the table). Walking to and from the restaurant through Mayfair is also a sweet walk. Thank You! read more

LOVE this small, intimate restaurant. Food was fabulous. I had the calves liver in red wine reduction with mash and it was the best I ever had. Prices were fair to high but worth every penny. read more

In town for work and found this place near my hotel. Very cute restaurant and friendly staff. I had a glass of wine and a starter of fried squid and main of spicy prawns and pasta. It was a very nice meal, around 35 pounds was the cost. It didn't wow me but it was very pleasant and I would recommend it for small parties of 2-4 people. read more

Loved this place so much we ate here twice in the spans of 5 days!! A cozy little neighborhood eatery. Food was high quality and prepared well. Prices quite reasonable for London. And the service staff could not have been more lovely to deal with. Jessica is a sweetheart! Thank you for taking such great care of us! Hope to be back soon. read more

Stopped by here late on a Monday - maybe 930 or 945. All of the table inside were open, outside were taken. I mentioned that my wife and I would like to stop and have dessert. They said that they wouldn't serve us if we didn't eat a meal first. I asked again, saying you have open tables and would be quick. Still, "no". Won't stop here for dinner now either. Too bad, near where I stay and sounded good but too many other good options. read more

I decided to come here for dinner after the great reviews on yelp. Definitely not worth the hype. The restaurant is very small, intimate and cozy (if you want space this is definitely not the place for you). I ordered the chicken avocado burger (having read good reviews about it). Not bad, not great- very average. The service was good however and the people were friendly. read more

small location, small menu, but friendly feeling and solid execution. larger groups can be accommodated upstairs but best in groups of 2-4
