Christopher's - London Restaurant Reviews | Hardens
Christopher's, 18 Wellington Street London WC2 | The Independent
food staff ambience
Founded by Tory scion, Christopher Gilmour, and splendidly housed in a handsome Covent Garden mansion, Christopher's specialised in American-style dining – lobsters, burgers, steak and the like – at a time when that kind of fare was the exception in London rather than the rule.
At the time the new owner captured the madcap romance of the restaurant business by announcing "I am considering a number of investment/roll-out options".
And then you get to the first-floor restaurant, two connecting rooms whose designer has apparently been given the brief: strip this space of any character or atmosphere, and make it feel like the breakfast room of an international luxury hotel.
The American classics we tried were mediocre – a £32 surf'n'turf combo of under-seasoned burger and overcooked lobster; a tender but more or less tasteless New York strip steak; forgettable fries, tobacco onions with a weird peppery aftertaste.
And the chocolate, peanut butter and jelly sandwich with banana ice-cream we shared for dessert (absolutely gorgeous, if you like a huge slab of carbs drowned in glossy chocolate sauce) showed it's also capable of utter indulgent wrongness.

Restaurant review: Christopher's - Business Traveller – The leading ...
food
When it opened, the restaurant was one of the first in London to focus on American food.
For the last seven years it has been owned by Ambar Paul, director of engineering firm the Caparo Group, and his daughter Anika Paul, who is the restaurant’s director.
The building is easy to spot, located on the corner with steps leading up to a grand entrance.
Through the windows are views of Waterloo Bridge.
Unlike many new restaurants, this one has opted for a more traditional look with white tablecloths as opposed to bare wood, which added a regal feel to the setting, with its pretty cornicing, marble fireplace and parquet floor.
Christophers Martini Bar Covent Garden London Review ...
food drinks
Christopher's Martini Bar, located in the heart of Covent Garden, is a sumptuous addition to the West End bar scene.
Located on the ground floor of a Grade II listed building, this London bar is an all-day destination in its own right (upstairs is Christopher's renowned American Dining Room).
The extensive drinks list focuses on cocktails, both classic and contemporary, with Martinis being a particular speciality.
The bar team have also created their own contemporary drinks such as 'Mexican Heat' (Jose Cuervo tequila, fresh pomegranate, Grand Marnier, lime juice, chilli and grenadine).
The Martini Bar food menu is offered throughout the day, offering contemporary American casual dining which runs from salads and shares to Clubs and Po' boys.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: HOPPERS, ST. CHRISTOPHER'S PLACE ...
busyness location food menu drinks
The list of places under their stewardship reads like your Instagram Explore highlights reel; there’s Bao, Gymkhana, Lyles, Trishna, Bubbledogs and Kitchen Table, Xu, Sabor (shortly to open) and of course, Hoppers.
Hoppers St. Christopher’s continues the rich run of form so popular at Frith Street and doesn’t mess with the formula; Sri Lankan curries, dosas, the hopper itself (a kind of pancake) and more – all of exotic, heady, just-off-centre spicing and playful delivery.
Tables are crowded with little copper pots of vibrant coloured dips, new dishes to the party call for a game of tetris to fit them in, and the expansive nature of the dosas seemingly pokes fun at the general lack of elbow room.
A holy trinity of hopper, varuval and the aforementioned squid would be a superb meal in itself, even before the accompanying dips brighten up the table and pique the palate’s curiosity.
The volume of the queue at Hoppers Frith Street was, for a while, in danger of drowning out the praise surrounding the food inside.
