One of the oldest restaurants in London! Stunning dining room. You have to try the roast rib beef or the typical english dish kidney pie ! Everything was excellent.

You have to go for a roast here. Tourist or local you simply must. Surprisingly child friendly too. The bar upstairs is perfect for a pre or post meal drink too.

Absolutely lovely roast beef ... Sharing platter for dessert was perfect and no.283 on wine list is perfect and compliments

One of my favourite restaurants , great service, great food and great wine . One can lose hours in this place. Ask for a booth and perhaps a Cocktail bar upstairs for a light drink before hand. The 'bee

Good atmosphere and busy but the beef was not as good as I'm used to at home! Quite an operation and very friendly and efficient staff

We had the roast beef done and it was great. It was my wife's birthday and they treated her to dessert .

Buffet - carbo filled, deep fried, bloat! - heavy heavy heavy...coffee like gravy ...I do so love these old English 'institutions'...almost like they can't be bothered to serve up good healthy fare !

Matthew Ng

Come for Sunday roast . The beef is great! I also had the lamb which was equally as good!

The exclusive Simpson’s in the Strand restaurant opened in 1828 as a chess club and coffee house . It became known as the home of chess and attracted all the great players of the age.

Manuel Villasalero

The best roast beef I've ever tasted.

Very quiet in the cocktail bar ! And I thought it was supposed to be the best cocktails in town !!!!!

Phil Gyford

If you get the roast beef or similar, it is apparently traditional to discreetly tip the carver once he's served everyone. £1 or £2 should be OK.

David Kelham

The Baked Alaska is excellent.

This restaurant is very poor in service. We had to wait for-about an hr to get the drinks. Very bad restaurant in all means

John Bradshaw

To be honest the food was lovely but the service was not. The service was terrible! Took over 30 minutes after ordering the starter for it to arrive.

Ryan Cummins

Very civilised way to start the day!

Sarah Chin-a-Loy

Be prepared to dress up for breakfast !

Famoso e Elegantissimo. Ristorante classico dal sapore puramente british. Ordinate l'arrosto britannico al tavolo uno spettacolo per gli occhi e per il palato. Servizio in sala curatissimo .
