About Christopher's
The Spotlight on Christopher's

Upscale American Fare in the Heart of Covent Garden

Christopher's is a sophisticated American restaurant located in a stunning Grade II-listed building just off Covent Garden. With its elegant Art Deco interior, sweeping staircase, and stylish cocktail bar, this spot blends classic glamour with modern flair. The menu spans prime steaks, indulgent mac and cheese, and one of London’s best-known weekend brunches. Ideal for concert-goers looking to elevate their pre-show experience, it’s just a short walk from many of the West End’s major music and theatre venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and Christopher's nails it. Situated just minutes from top West End venues, it's a perfect pre-show stop. The service is known for being efficient and attentive, which means you can dine without clock-watching. The elegant yet relaxed vibe makes it easy to go from dinner to curtain call without missing a beat. Plus, the menu is built for indulgence, ideal before a night out on the town.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to kick off a big night with cocktails and comfort food
  • Solo travelers seeking a classy spot with a welcoming bar scene
  • Couples on a romantic theatre or concert date
  • Fans wanting a buzzy pre-show atmosphere in the heart of the West End
  • Budget-conscious music lovers—especially during brunch or fixed-price lunch offerings

What People Say

Guests rave about the exceptional service, beautifully cooked steaks, and atmospheric setting. Many reviews highlight the impressive cocktail list and the pre-theatre menu as standouts. The location is frequently praised for its convenience to nearby shows, with diners noting how easy it is to enjoy a full meal without feeling rushed.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors mention that prices are on the higher side—though many feel the quality justifies the cost. At peak times, the restaurant can be lively and tables close together, so if you're after a quiet meal before a mellow acoustic set, it’s worth booking a quieter time slot.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a refined yet welcoming spot just steps from London’s music and theatre scene, Christopher's delivers on style, service, and flavor.
