Recommended as one of the best places to eat at Covent Garden, the Great Queen Street is known for seasonal and hearty British cuisine where reservations is a must due to its perennial popularity. With a non-pretentious menu that relies heavily on fresh produce, it changes daily so you can expect something new every day.

Coming in to a full dining room with a 6:30PM reservation, it's popularity amongst the Londoners are evident. Taking a small table in the middle, we ordered the two dishes that was recommended by our friendly waitress. The roasted hake served with new season's borlotti beans with a hot anchovy dressing was scrumptious and I happily soaked up the sauce with the complimentary bread. My sister's baked lemon sole served with a cream prawn bisque was just as nice and we both cleared our plates with ease!

We were more than impressed with the food and service from Great Queen Street. The dishes allowed the ingredients to shine and it's a no-frills sorta menu where edible blooms, unnecessary foam and bite size mains are nowhere to be found. The knowledgable staff can recommend the perfect beverage pairing and despite being swamped with work, they were friendly, attentive and very efficient. The perfect way to end our trip in London!

9.5/10 for service on counter and 7.5/10 for food. It's very busy restaurant, so highly recommend to book a table. We didn't have any reservation and just walked in last night. There are only have counter seats. It turned out we get best service ever!! Super good and fast service from staff at the bar. Highly recommend!

Down side was the quality and portion of food. My dish:whole Plaice was way too big for one person and runny sauce. My husband dish :crab gratin was quite small for main. Taste of food was just OK. Kind of simple.
Next time I'll order more meat dish.

If you are around ,Try here!

Tasty modern British Cuisine. A casual restaurant in Covent Garden with great value for money modern British cuisine. I recommend you make a reservation since it can get pretty busy during lunch and or dinner times. Like the atmosphere of the place and the great value for money.

The rabbit pie is great! Its filling tastes like really good chicken soup. Not a bad deal at 30. 1 pie serves 2. Waiter was friendly & helpful.

A bookable Anchor and Hope. The foods great, properly cooked. Simple faire done well.

The only thing that I've had thats disappointed is the Rabbit Pie - Full of little bones. This is the same people that run the Anchor and Hope, so you know the food is good - and the the concept of service usually lacking, you really get the sense these people are resting on their laurels.

The wines were a little average, but I think I know why. There is an arragance about a place that only gives you a wineglass if you order over a certain price.

The smell is all important when tasting wine, and a good glass is half the battle, the tumbler you get with any bottle under £20 is cheeky in my book.

So either they don't know their wines or they're arrogant, maybe both, give it a go see what you think...

Excellent. It's all about the Pie! I've been back here since my last review and still think it's excellent. I find it hard to stray from the pie. Easily the best in London, if not the UK!

Excellent. Always love going here. They have the best pie ever. Every time I go I struggle to order anything else but the pie because it is so good! However on the occasions I have ventured beyond the pie , its always been great. I recommend Crab starter + Pie to share.

The main dish was tasty, cooked well, lying on top of the beans and tomato sauce. It was also a fun dish to eat – the finger bowl provided giving permission to pick up the bits to get the last remnants of the meat off the bones.

Great Queen Street has a great vibe, its casual, dark and kind of loud. I love when you can see the kitchen in a restaurant and even hear it a little, you get this with Great Queen Street, its dramatic and I just love that.

The meat soaked up the sweet-and-salty broth of plump and springy snails, bacon and melt-in-yer-mouth shallots very nicely. Simple combinations but brilliantly executed.

Good but not great. The menu is often very strong, but there's always something disappointing in the cooking. Today, the mushroom ragu was oily, and lacked the inky richness I was expecting. I'm sure they can do better. I'm not so sure why they don't.

As a tourist this place is a great! Food representative of England which otherwise is quite hard to define! Delicious food that's just a tad too salty although nothing a pint doesn't fix :) Decent restaurant setting that's not too posh despite the name. Prices also reflect this nicely Doesn't seem too busy on a weeknight. Cheerful staff! Chicken pot pie is a must!

Decent gastropub with jolly staff. Feels more European than British but this is a reflection of the variety on the menu inspired by dishes from the continent. Being vegetarian, about 1 in 10 items were suitable which is why it loses a star; this would be a difficult place for a vegan to enjoy as there's usually cheese or cream as a key ingredient in the starters and mains. This place is well suited if you're seeking animal-oriented dishes but more of a difficult sell for a vegetarian or beyond.

Lovely place. Was much quieter when I visited may 31st. Versus the other few times. The quality of food and presentation were lovely. We sat in the window, so could watch the world go by. An adult women at another table started eating a shop bought yoghurt at a table whilst she waited for her friend. Very strange but certainly a bit of a highlight to add to the food. I need to get out more

One of my favourite restaurants in London, great British food with amazing service. It is part from other two restaurants in London, the hope and anchor near Waterloo and the camberwell arms in camberwell. The best rabbit pie I have ever had, unfortunately they didn't have the last time we visited. Good place to take people visiting the UK for them to try something else beside fish and chips.

One of the best dishes I had during this UK biz trip. It definitely suits Japanese taste as well.

Potted shrimp, Beef Wellington, buttered greens, Tarte Tatin — these are dishes to soothe and reassure. Menus that offer them seem to say to the diner, "Try not to worry. Things will probably be all right." Few places have ever said that with more conviction than Great Queen Street.
