Christopher’s restaurant London, in the heart of Covent Garden is a classic, yet casual, very elegant London restaurant. From the moment you enter the restaurant via the grand, sweeping staircase, you know you’re in for something special. The dining room is spacious and airy with massive windows and high ceilings and the staff make you feel welcome straight away.
The food at Christopher’s restaurant follows a modern American style, but does so with a touch of style and sophistication. The stunning Maryland crab cakes, spruced up with a tangy red pepper aïoli, or the tender, tasty blackened rib-eye steak with crispy buttermilk fried onions are both highly recommended at Christopher’s, as is the vanilla souffle with peach ice cream, but it’s the attractive, friendly environment that really makes this restaurant shine.
