This hotel rooftop bar-restaurant overlooking Finsbury Square is a “gorgeous spot for lunch – quiet and with good views”. Glass igloos are installed for winter, so it’s a year-round operation. The modern corporate brasserie cooking attracts little notice, either favourable or otherwise.

“Stunning views of the City from the roof terrace” add glamour to this 10th floor eyrie overlooking Finsbury Square, and with a large outside terrace. The cooking is decent, service “affable” and “people-watching those attracted by Insta-friendly high-end hotel restaurants is an added bonus – or detraction depending on your mood!”.

“A pleasant location overlooking the City” is the headline attraction at this 10th-floor eyrie on Finsbury Square, which has a big outside terrace. “The food is fine but not very inspiring, and service can be a bit away with the fairies” – maybe try it out for brunch.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
