CLOS MAGGIORE REVIEWS
We were hosted by the wonderful Gilles. A super classic, authentic restaurant with a team of professionals. All the dishes we ate at the restaurant were rich in flavors, sophisticated (but not too much) and so so delicious. If you are in London you must run there.
A really lovely restaurant with impeccable service, I can't think of anywhere else I have been so well cared for. We ate from the set menu and the food was delicious, I would highly recommend the truffle mash side dish! They have an extensive wine list which ranges in price from approx £30 upwards. Warm bread rolls, beautifully presented dishes, fabulous staff, great ambience, comfortable seating, clean and sweet smelling toilets! I would definitely recommend and will certainly be returning. I would give more than five stars if it was possible!
We had an anniversary lunch on a Sunday as we couldn’t get a table for 3-4 months for an dinner date due to the restaurant being fully booked. From the moment we were greeted at the door, and shown to our table the whole experience was very memorable. The menu may be a little limited for some, but we both found something we wanted and enjoyed. The atmosphere was relaxed yet you felt you could ask and get anything from the staff. I love my food and couldn’t fault the crab tartlet as a starter, then duck as a main. I didn’t have room for dessert - although the cheese looked very tempting. Highly recommended if you feel like spoiling yourself on a special occasion.

We were very happy with the food, the atmosphere was great. There was live performance during dinner and we quite enjoyed it. Staff were nice but service was a bit slow.

BALTHAZAR REVIEWS
Been here too many times to mention. Always lovely. Always good food and great service. Whether just a drink in the bar or full meal it's always a fantastic choice.
What a truly fantastic evening! I joined my colleagues for a work-related dinner, and we were treated to an absolutely delightful meal that exceeded our expectations. Our waiter, the exceptional Adam Stewart, provided unparalleled customer service throughout our dining experience. I was very surprised when Adam presented an unexpected birthday dessert – it genuinely made my evening unforgettable! Just shows how attentive he is! I extend my heartfelt gratitude for crafting such a special atmosphere. Without a doubt, I am eagerly anticipating my next visit to Balthazar.
Adore this place. Whenever I’m in Covent Garden I have to pop in, even if it’s just for a drink. Love the high tables at the bar. Food always excellent. Bar staff and waiters are welcoming and accommodating. Especially on our last visit on 17/06/2023 the lady who waited on us was beyond lovely and attentive. Also bar staff were able to make us the cocktails we wanted that weren’t on the menu. Will always be back :)
