Awesome views of the London City skyscrapers from the terrace . You just have to be lucky to get there. ;)

Very Good Service

Excellent and attentive service at Coq d'Argent, a rooftop City venue with personal yet respectful waiting staff . Particular commendation for paying due care to guest food allergies.

Lizzie P

You *must* head to the garden for spectacular views of the city . Gorgeous spot for rooftop summer drinks !

Jenya S

Very nice rooftop open air bar and patio for those warm summer (dry) evenings. The crowd is mainly city workers having client lunches or chilling after work.

Helen Hudson

Superb menu. If any concern, it was that the vegetarian options are quite limitedbut still look tasty and enticing. Overall, this has to be a recommendation, and certainly a must for wine-lovers.

Bhavuk

Okay so this is for the views on a nice summer evening. It's a bit pricey but you are paying for more than just the food and drink. Nice food. Large selection of drinks.

Jenny

Good food, nice views . Lovely to sit outside during a warm day. Weekend brunch is nicely priced at £29 on a weekend with a Bellini included. They do charge a 'cover charge ' of £2 per person..

Petr J.

Amazing experience. The set menu is a great value (3 courses for £35). The mackerel (starter) was my favorite.

Mei Suen

Book a late lunch for an unhurried meal. Relaxing and great buzzy atmosphere . 3 course set menu for £29 is very good value - for sublime masterchef food. Great place for a special occasion .

Niamh Sheerin

The cote de beouf was incredible 👌🏼 and the desserts were so tasty. The atmosphere was really great and the staff were fantastic!

Evening Standard

Enjoy open-air dining on the terrace whilst tucking into a contemporary French menu, and observe the impressive views of St Paul’s Cathedral , the Gherkin and the Bank of England . Read more

Joy Ludwig-Mcnutt

Seriously good French food ! The coq au vin and escargot were fabulous. Worth it or go during London E.S. 3-course special menu!

Nick Brackenbury

Great rooftop bar and an almost Roman villa type design. Pricey , but worth it to avoid the crowds at other similar rooftop spots.

Vivian

One of the nicer spots for business lunch or dinner in the city . Great for after work drink during the summer when the terrace is open.

Graeme Cole

Superb bar with rooftop garden . Go here on a hot summer day. Oustanding views of the Bank of England and it's surrounds. Great for sunset viewing 's too. Pricey , but worth it.

Camille McKelvey

Nice for a summer after work drink, could do with a bit of modernising but it beats queueing for Madison a few minutes up the road with similar views .

Heena Karani

Perfect venue for after work drinks in the summer. Roof top is stunning

M U

Pricy boring food. I don’t understand and not happy with the 5min ceremony of placing each veggie on the plate one by one. It tasted like home food anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️ Tables are too close to each other☹️

The Telegraph

This bar is the height of sophistication with an exceptional wine list , an extensive range of champagnes and stodgy cigars available to slurp, sip and smoke as applicable. Read more

Lauren

Fantastic value Sunday set menu , beautiful restaurant with great views

Mr Anonymous

Cool rooftop location and nice seafood (oysters , large prawns etc) but service at the outdoor patio area (by the elevators ) is terrible.

Kornelija Maceviciute

Nice interior. Great terrace . Food was nothing special. But the overall environment and feeling is worth the time.

Martha Valentine

Chilled rooftop bar , good service-wouldn't think you're in the heart of the city !

Oli

Great brunch . GBP 30 for 2 courses and +38 for 2 hours bottomless champagne

John Davis

Extraordinary winelist. Coq au vin main and pork cheeks to start highly recommended. Service average. Great sommelier .

Aqua Girl

Food is great, atmosphere is great, good wine , good views

clive kornitzer

Great terrace on a warm summers nite ... Good range of fizz

Viva App

Cool rooftop location and nice seafood in London

Alison H

Good atmosphere and service. Always fun.

Elizaveta T.

Honestly, expected more. Food was ok, liked Painkiller cocktail a lot. Black chocolate tart 👎 and the place was too noisy . + The bill was...beyond the world....

Laura Ga

Ramiro is probably the best sommelier I have come across.

Anastasija Blinova

Great terrace doe warm summer days. Restaurant is ok and terribly overpriced. Basically, paying for great service and average food. Side dishes are extremely small. Beef fillet is quite small for £38.

Jo G

Super duper view and have blankets and heaters in Winter. Great for champagne with a City view

Saxow Boy

Scenic view over the City

Harry

Fantastic view , good food but slightly overpriced

Elliott Brown

Try the garlic snails. Epic

Amra Saby

White wine 👌

Vitor DAgnoluzzo

Don't go to dinner expecting a great view

Faye Smith

Best view in London!

Owen Frankish

Great views and surly French waiters

Derryck B

Lovely Rump Steak and cool Cityboy venue. Enjoy!

Vaughn Harber

If expecting 5 star service, you should probably go somewhere else. The food is good, but attention to detail is poor. Dirty cutlery, no cleaning of tables between meals, staff leaning on walls etc

Erika Arevuo

Best place after work on a sunny evening.

Alex Watt

Understand why people jump off the roof here - service is terrible, cocktails only have a passing resemblance to those ordered, but as expensive as a bar that genuinely knows what it's doing. Avoid.

Kopernikus

Nice rooftop garden !

gareth wong

Nice hidden treasure in city with great view if sat near windows..

Ennio Grossi

Mela Mel
