While searching for London dining – take a look at one of the famous restaurants in London located near the Charing Cross (35 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden).
London restaurant guide will tell you that Rules restaurant, opened in 1798 by Thomas Rule is one of the oldest. Decored in high Victorian style, it will give you experience of high society dining where you can feel the style of an old gentleman’s club with old-good style mannered waiters.
Rules restaurant provide it’s customers, most of those are acting professionals, British cuisine and is a must-see place for the good quality traditional British cooking.
Be ready to spend a time waiting for your meals to be cooked. It’s time for wine order and sommelier will help you to choose best of white or red wines Rules has.
Rules has a reputation of one of the best food restaurants in London and popular as post-theater or special occasions dining (romantic dinner, birthday dinner, etc.) – you’ll hardly find a free table “just from the street”, so, – make a restaurant reservation. You can choose between main dining room or private dining rooms. There are four of them, from 12 to 24 seatings each. And follow the tiny tip – be late for 5 min. to be sure that your pre-booked table is free and served.
Restaurant menus is quite long to mention completely. As for my taste, I’ll recommend potted shrimps or watercress soup as a start, preparing yourselves for roast rack of lamb (the sauce makes is delicious) or some kind of grilled steak – on your choice. If you prefer fish restaurants, in Rules you’ll give find dishes with smoked salmon, haddock…
English desserts, that’s what gives my tongue real pleasure: English creme, sticky toffee pudding, lovely hot chocolate pudding.
Rules isn’t of the cheap London restaurants – be ready to spend from £80 to £120 for a couple, including starter, main, dessert and wine, but you find restaurant prices affordable to it’s quality and service. If you are looking for best puddings and other desserts in London – you’ll like Rules restaurant.
As the old-fashioned London restaurant, Rules has a smart casual dress code and some regulations: you’ll be asked to switch off your cell phones and do not smoke (Rules restaurant is all non-smoking area). Rules restaurant is kid-friendly, so it’s a good choice for dining with children in London.
