Diner notes
4 out of 5
Anthony Bourdain’s London favorite. The restaurant that popularized nose-to-tail dining, St. JOHN is an institution in London. I’d been meaning to go for a while, and my eventual visit did not disappoint. Great, simple food gives reason as to why English food shouldn’t be written quickly. Would recommend it to a friend, and I would definitely go again. Highlights • Roast Bone Marrow and Parsley Salad: Maybe the most famous dish here, I fully blame it for the rising cost of bone marrow. A great example on how simple, high-quality ingredients can produce exceptional results. The parsley salad adds a great freshness to the plate, very well balanced • Potted Beef: The best dish of the day. The beef was perfectly seasoned: a bit sweet, a bit smoky, well cooked and very umami. Tasted like slightly sweet birria, so good we ordered it twice • Abbey’s Chocolate Cake: I love chocolate, and this cake was a chocolate lover’s dream. Rich, decadent, dark and covered in ganache. One of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever had • The Restaurant itself: St. JOHN thrives on the beauty of simplicity. From its decorations to its menus to its dishes, the restaurant delivers a high-class experience with all the humility of a simple english farmer. Recommended for date nights Lowlights: • Mylor Prawns and Aioli: We found the prawns and aioli combination to be a bit harsh and overpowering, and the prawns themselves didn’t have much meat. One of the few misses of the night • Rollright, Pink Fir and Spring Onion: This dish was just cheese, onions and potato. Simplicity can be good, but in the case of this dish it was just too simple and boring

Consistent quality throughout the years, ate the bone marrow on 2015 and again this time and couldn’t tell the difference. Classic brit pub food, french wine list. What is there not to like?? Bit cold in the dining room tho!! A Classic in London not to be missed!

Overall an amazing experience, with top tier food and great service. Highlights are the roast bone marrow salad and parsley salad, the grilled ox heart and parsnips, and eccles cake and lancashire cheese. The bone marrow truly deserves the hype, and the ox heart was flavourful and tender. Fully recommend St John!
