Magpie

Set in trendy Heddon Street, this intimate restaurant punches above its weight for the price one pays. The kitchen is open so you can see the chefs at work. The service is attentive and accommodating. The ambiance is low-key smart casual - perfect for a catch up between a group of friends. Please please try the burrata, truffled celariac and roasted cabbage main. Magpie has an interesting British take on all of them. (Note: The toilets aren't in the best condition at the moment, but that's forgiven because they do acknowledge and apologise for it.)

Had the most fantastic lunch there with my parents. The beef tartare, pork rillettes and fried chicken were all amazing stand out elements. The service was spot on - very attentive and welcoming! We even got a couple of dishes on the house. Recommend highly - not many places in London can match the high quality food for moderate prices and great service!

We went here for NYE based on recommendations from friends. It’s absolutely incredible...the cocktails were exceptional and the food blew us away. It was a set menu for NYE, so we might have had a slightly different experience vs their regular menu, but the standard was so high I can see their regular menu being just as amazing. Book it! You won’t regret it.

We used a Time Out 50% off food voucher when we ate at Magpie and probably wouldn't have chosen it without that. The food was great, although the menu is quite limited - bread was delicious and the staff were good at accommodating my boyfriend's lactose intolerance. I don't think we'd return and pay full price but I think it's fairly standard for the area it's in.

I loved everything about it! The decoration (aesthetically pleasing but unpretentious), the friendly, relaxed service, the wine but above all -the food. It was delicious! Tried the set lunch menu for £28 and I would totally recommend it. It's a lot of food but you won't be able to stop eating -and why should you?

Magpie is an exceptional restaurant. The staff are very professional and extra attentive, we arrived an hour early and they set us up for drinks outside with no hassle or questions. The food blew us away! We’ve visited a number of restaurants claiming to serve ‘modern’ British food but only a few can claim to have created something truly innovative and delicious, Magpie is one of them. Even though everything was super tasty, if you decide to visit Magpie the beef and fried chicken are an absolute must! All this was washed down with great cocktails and superb wine! Bravo guys - I’ll be seeing you again very soon!

Creative menu with much attention. Carefully selected quality ingredients combined with authentic attentive English service. Great light bites beautifully presented on fabulous crockery. The attention to detail certainly makes me return to this place frequently. The burrata is exquisite with a delicious basil sauce inside it. Whilst the coffee is easily the best served on Heddon Street
