An absolutely delightful experience ⭐️Traditional British food in a very atmospheric and romantic Michelin star-rated Restaurant with a great history.Staff were very attentive and very smartly attired.Highly recommend the Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Pie, and the sticky toffee pudding, which gave us the feeling of traveling centuries back in time!The entire evening at this place makes you feel a bit royal.We are looking forward to our next visit at London’s oldest Resturant!

👍WONDERFUL BRITISH DINING EXPERIENCE 🇬🇧Come to Rules for excellent service, phenomenal food, and nice authentic British ambience. This is now my new London favorite by far.The oysters were super fresh and to die for, the steak and kidney pie as good as it can be, and the sticky toffee pudding the best I’ve ever had to this day.A meal I will never forget and definitely not my last visit to this gem of fine British dining and hospitality.

Lovely hearty food, with great service, in a truly historic and atmospheric setting. Highly recommended.

Grand experience. The customer service is just amazing. You will even get a tour of the restaurant if you request. This is the oldest restaurant in London and was established in the year 1798. I came to know about this restaurant from the 2012 movie Skyfall. The restaurant was quite crowded when I visited but the food was royal. Thanks for the service. Cheers!

Old school British food, with old fashioned surroundings. Great staff, a bit pricey (e.g. tiny oysters, full priced) but harks back to the days of limited restaurant choices I suppose. Food tasty. Strange Maggie thatcher mural on the wall!

Gorgeous restaurant with a wonderful history. Great service, food and drinks. Hidden winter garden upstairs is great for a post dinner cocktail.

This is truly a delightful restaurant. It has masses of appeal from a historical perspective and serves the most delicious food.We had cocktails to start that would blow your socks off!Oysters chilled and served with a sherry wine vinegar to help the cocktail go down.A starter of scallops with white garlic and butter with a hazelnut crumb were sweet and delicate. Potted shrimp with dressed rocket and sourdough toast was light and full of flavour!Mains of steak and kidney pudding with the finest layer of suet crust and the softest beef was a thing of pure indulgence and a daub of venison with a spiced jus and celeriac purée and crumbly chestnut topped off with a perfectly poached quince was the best dish to eat!A plate of English cheese to round off a delicious meal with port and coffee just topped a perfect dining experience

As always a wonderful meal (scallops special to start, duck as main and gorgeous but large chocolate bread and butter pudding to finish). The service was impeccable. Friendly, professional and informative. A bit pricey but a treat of an afternoon in a gorgeous dining room. Just perfect.

Age has not diminished the quality of the grub, and if you are into game, might as well have it in a place Gaston would love. Love the sponge cake and smoked eel. Venison, grouse, and cod were all great.

Great ambience as you expect, good selection of wines, great cocktails and aside the terrine that we ordered, the food was good. The steamed pud and lamb main were the highlight! Unfortunately that's where the positives end. Marketed as a game restaurant, there was no game on the menu or in the specials - which is a disappointment. For the restaurant of its stature, the service was just at par. When you pay the high prices, you expect food and service to follow, but it just didn't. Wouldn't be going back to be honest, not worth the spend but it is good to head there if you want to dine at the oldest restaurant in London :-)
