With its many booths, Fortnum & Mason’s “comfortable” bar/restaurant (with its own, independent street entrance) provides a “discreet” and “decently located” venue that’s ideal for a St James’s light bite, meal, tea, coffee or cocktail; and is most often tipped as a handy option for a business get-together. Since its very promising launch in 2015, its ratings have waned, with its cooking increasingly judged “reliable but not spectacular”. Top Menu Tip – “breakfast is always a pleasure; go for the Welsh rarebit”.

Fortnum & Mason’s “luxurious” and “cosseting” restaurant (with its own street entrance) makes “a top central destination at any time! – for breakfast, coffee, lunch, tea, dinner or for drinks” (as the bar does “superb cocktails”). “With its many booths, alcoves and corners, it’s the ideal place to meet someone” (particularly on business), and “discreet staff will ensure your liaison goes swimmingly”. Less kind reports feel “there’s nothing to distinguish the inoffensive upmarket international food”, but harsher critiques are absent. Top Menu Tip – “Be sure to try the caviar – served from a trolley”. And, for breakfast, this is “an excellent alternative to the nearby Wolseley as it’s much less frenetic” and available “with rare-breed eggs, caviar, winter or white truffles in season”.

The modern update of Fortnums’ old Edwardian buttery has become a “go-to eatery in the West End”, “much-loved and much-used”. “This place is fab and works on many different levels, depending on the occasion you’re eating out for” – equally suitable for “a great breakfast (including the healthier stuff)” as for business entertaining, when “you come away pleasantly lighter of wallet, but at least your clients won’t think you’ve gone all hedge-fund on them”.

“Elegant yet relaxed” – Fortnum & Mason created “a real winner” a couple of years ago with this “beautiful bar/dining room”, whose “fabulous cocktails” and “stylish” cuisine make a “smart-but-not-overpowering” replacement for the crusty Edwardian buttery, The Fountain (RIP), which it replaced. Handy for business, it’s also a popular early morning choice for a “cosseting and superb breakfast” (“exactly what I need to recover after the overnight from New York!”). Top Menu Tip – Beef Wellington, with the sauce flambéed at the table.
