Last minute decision to eat here before a show across the road. We both had the pre theatre show set meal - Bavettes/Frites, Strawberry tart, crème brûlée and a glass of house wine - £28. It all was excellent, no waste! They happily substituted the wine for a lemonade for my daughter, this looked and tasted homemade. There were slices of baguette and butter as an appetiser. The bavettes both medium rare just as my 16 year old daughter likes hers - so much better than a certain steak house we ate at a couple of weeks ago near London Bridge! The service was outstanding, all polite and welcoming. We will be back in the summer.

This is the original Hard Rock Cafe in London and we’ve been to a lot of different ones all over the world, but the one beats them all in authenticity and fantastic energy from staff, and the ambience of the place is second to none. To top it off having live music was an added bonus. Made our experience better than ever. Service from start to finish is fantastic and the good just how it should be, tasty and well presented and definitely great value for money. Would definitely be returning when we return to London. Recoup everyone.
