    Beautiful restaurant, quality food, and well-priced. The standout dishes were: crab flatbread, lamb, and the superfood salad (best salad I’ve had in a long time!). Also the martini-by-the-sea - so unique! Very friendly customer service too; thank you Katie! Why this didn’t get 5 stars: the rib-eye was bland, and while the lamb was excellent, it was a scant portion.

    Arber Garden is an amazing new venue in Fitzrovia. It’s such an airy and bright space that energizes you the moment you walk in. There’s a fantastic atmosphere, the service from the staff is always impeccable and the cuisine is outstanding! Cannot recommend this place enough for breakfast, brunch, dinner or simple drinks! The pièce de résistance at this venue… the INCREDIBLE Kids Table facility. Fantastic for families wanting to keep their kids entertained whilst the adults have a lovely meal

    Came here for the 50% soft launch discount. Went for the Sunday roast as the restaurant had good reviews about it. Wasn't disappointed at all, it was one of the best Sunday roasts that I've tried and had all the key elements that make a good Sunday roast. Good selection of vegetables, crispy potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, flavorsome gravy and sauce, and well-executed meat. The sorbet was so smooth and delicious as well! The pricing of the food here is higher than average, but it is justified due to the quality. The restaurant is spacious, and some of the decors are beautiful. The service was good.

    Really nice space. Could've chosen many things from the menu. Nice cocktails, food well cooked and presented. Reasonably priced and had an offer at the time. Good service. Would go back.

    Found this place whilst looking for a place that was open on Easter Sunday. Ordered Mushroom duxelle & spiced beetroot Wellington which comes with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, yorkshire pudding & house gravy. They omitted the Yorkshire Pudding as it was not vegan but they happily provided it when requested plus extra gravy. Also got the Crispy fish & chips, crushed peas, house tartar plus Green beans, confit shallots plus a couple of cocktails. The crispy fish was was a thick wedge of fish (maybe cod?) and was crumbed. I personally am not a fan of crumbed fish but the fish was well prepared and still juicy despite being a little dry at the edges. The beans were baby beans and was very tender and tasty. They also had live music with someone at the piano which was quite relaxing.

    Trendy and relaxed. This place has the perfect atmosphere for when you've had a long week and need a bit of glam and fun without the pressure of pretentiousness. The space and lighting is simply beautiful. Staff are very friendly and positive. My friend and I had drinks at the bar and without us telling him the bartender knew we had a dinner booking later so offered to add the drinks to the overall bill. May sound simple and like a small gesture but it made us feel welcomed and taken care of. It was also my friend's birthday and every staff member that interacted with us wished her a happy birthday. The dessert arrived with a candle and a message. They definitely add little touches that make the experience feel special and personal. That's why I can't detract a star for the food, which was the only downside. It was not bad at all but it did not match its price range. I ordered the pork belly and unfortunately it was hard and chewy on this occasion. My friend however had the chicken and said it was great. So it may have been a case of bad day/unlucky dish :) I would go back there and you should too if you want ro make your partner feel special or just enjoy a good crowd with your friends or work colleagues.

    The information on their website is misleading; the Sunday roast starts at noon, not by the opening. I missed it due to my flight schedule. But the waffle with spinach stuffing and salmon on top was the second best. The internal decoration is top-notch! You feel the elegance and charming atmosphere. Reasonable pricing. No wifi. It is worth giving another try on my next trip.

    Went there for a brunch and we had a great time! The restaurant inside is very spacious, even surprisingly so. The atmosphere is relaxing. It seems like a perfect place for a quiet meal on the weekend, a business meeting during the week or even a drink in the evening, it ticks all the boxes. There is nothing to fault with the food either. I had a rather generous potion of full English breakfast, just as well because I was starving! My partner had eggs royal and enjoyed it (though our favourite is still the Ivy). Overall, would highly recommend to anyone, well deserved 5 stars!

  • 4/5 Mary-Diakiese S. 1 year ago on Google • 75 reviews
    My friend and I came here on Sunday for the roast and it didn't disappoint. I had the roast beef and she had the lamb, potatoes was nice a crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, vegetables was lovely the gravy was delicious. The horseradish cream wasn't to sharp just perfect for me. Overall a lovely afternoon and the venue stunning. Only downside was how long it took to get a card machine after asking for the bill, also there was a bit of a wait to get seated whn i arrived. Other than that service throughout was nice and quick our waiter was lovely and checked in occasionally throughout our meal. However it's definitely a place I would love to go again to try other options on their menu.

    This is our first visit. I was really impressed by the restaurant setting from the outside to the inside and even the toilet! It’s simply beautiful throughout. The taps in the toilet is a nice design and the hand soap is moisturising with nice scent. I think if the owners pays attention to the toilet, they must have paid more attention to the food hygiene and kitchen! We had two flatbreads with sausages and crabs. They taste delicious. I had halibut and my husband and son had burgers. My halibut is the best seafood I’ve had! It’s crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. The tender broccoli were cooked just right as well. Overall it was very well presented and I really enjoyed it. The reason I gave 4 star is that the dessert let it down. It took long time well over 10 minutes to deliver our desert which is ice cream and lemon chiffon cake. The cake is just an average chiffon cake with very mild hint of lavender. It was presented beautifully but the taste is very average and I won’t order it again. The restaurant has a separate room and bar area for private function which would be great for small private parties. Overall I really enjoyed this restaurant. If the customer service could be more efficient, I would give a top mark!

    Such a lovely restaurant with a great ambience. For the starter, I had butternut squash soup was creamy and exquisite. I had fish and chips, and the fish was firm, flaky and meaty, not too oily. The passion fruit and white chocolate cheesecake were smooth and creamy and not too sweet, which I prefer. Also, one person in our group who needed gluten-free bread was served toast and butter as an alternative bread. With the cost of the food and venue, you would expect a better option. On another note, the service was excellent. Even if he's the only one taking orders from 28 people, he’s friendly and mindful of the guest's needs. I have provided my feedback, and spoken to Liam who kindly acknowledged my concern.

    We booked our work Christmas party here for 23 people , would’ve been more , due to strikes people cancelled. And I must say the ease of organising this with Egle was amazing. Super prompt responses and very accommodating. On the night , we were served by Oliver , he was amazing. Everything ran very smoothly and the night was a success . Highly Recommend this place for small to large groups.

    Fantastic food- very fresh ingredients. We had fish and chips and the Niçoise salad. The salad had fresh tuna and nice and simple without any oils or dressings! Fish was very chunky and nice and fresh. Service was lovely, very friendly. Very quiet on a Saturday for lunch. Expect it’s busier in weekdays when there are more people around the area. We will definitely return!

    Good service in general but food is just ok. I mean you can have an average meal here but not outstanding. Beautiful interior design and nice outdoor space.

  • 5/5 Niel D. 6 months ago on Google
    So thankful for such great service. Staff were awesome to us all. We were such a big group and they managed us well despite the late comers and the add on's to the group and wow the food was so so yummy. Thank you so much for everything Arber Garden. I Highly recommended Arber for sure. You got to dine at Arber Garden, you won't be disappointed. When i am back in London will visit again.

    Most beautiful pub I've come across - outside garden terrace is decked with flowers, cocktails are delicious, and their new menu is definitely worth checking out. Service was great also. One worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Ivy L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a brunch here, avocado toast was delicious. My friend ordered the Kedgeree and it was good too. Nice atmosphere. Last minute booked a table online on Friday night for a Saturday brunch, and it was not too crowded.

  • 3/5 Dena H. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere and the spacious interiors are big wins for this place. Their cocktails, steak tartar and burgers are really good. My fish was super tasteless though and had no interesting sauce or spice going on. Their dessert also was beautiful but no special taste to it.

  • 5/5 Rashidah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for my 50th birthday meal and drinks. Food was excellent I had haddock with triple cooked chips and homemade tartare sauce my friends had burgers which were equally great and one friend had lamb which was beautiful and tender. The desserts the chocolate slice was pure heaven on a plate. The staff were very attentive and the prices arent bad either. The place itself is very pretty has great ambiance.

    Lovely meal! Katie was absolutely brilliant - she made our meal one of the best ever! We will be back!

  • 5/5 Fia G. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun, cosy and casual. Food is fresh and perfect for sharing. Cocktails innovative and different rooms for various occations. From small and intimite to large and loud.

  • 3/5 Sau T. 7 years ago on Google
    Smart looking restaurant with ample seating and tables without overcrowding. Staff were attentive and menu had a variety of dishes to suit most. My steak was slightly more rare than I usually preferred, but the vegetables were seasoned perfectly. Dessert was more than a treat and with 50% offer (running for another few weeks) it was a decent and very affordable meal. Wheelchair friendly too.

    We had Friday night dinner at Percy and Founders - the menu is interesting and well prepared. I wasn't full meal hungry but mix and match sides were good, especially the truffle mash. Service was good until we wanted our bill at which point we became invisible! That and the fact that I think the menu is a little on the expensive side for what is not really different from many similar places (I struggle to pay £16 for a plain beef burger), but the space is nice and it was a good evening.

  • 5/5 Joanne T. 6 years ago on Google
    Had our new year/Christmas party here and the service was great! Food was very tasty, definitely would recommend going here for drinks and/or dinner! Love the interior too!

  • 3/5 Colin G. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice bar area, great for an after work drink or two, can get very busy though so there is a lot of noise. Service is slow and most times it’s been quicker just going to the bar to get your own drinks rather than waiting for someone to come along and take your order Food wise, menu is good, have only eaten here for breakfast and Sunday lunch. Breakfast was very good if a little overpriced. Sunday lunch was so so, meat was good and the potatoes excellent, only the veg wasn’t great unless you like yours extra hard, almost as if the chef had an aversion to putting them in water!

  • 5/5 Licia C. 6 years ago on Google
    went for breakfast midweek. the place looks very upscale from the outside, but the atmosphere inside was very welcoming and relaxed. at 8am, it was not very busy and my husband and I could enjoy a nice conversation. food was fantastic - both the crumpets and the eggs benedicts. service was pleasantly attentive. overall a very enjoyable experience!

  • 5/5 East London G. 4 years ago on Google
    Percy & Founders is a Modern European restaurant in Fitzrovia with the trendy décor to match. With plenty of space and a focus on seasonal British cuisine, it is a great spot for date night, a post work meal or night out with friends. It well and truly exceeded our expectations. The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. If you love steak, the chefs cut is the one!!

  • 5/5 Ru S. 6 years ago on Google
    Really great Sunday brunch. Could expand menu slightly. Great atmosphere for dates in particular.

  • 4/5 Owen H. 5 years ago on Google
    We stumbled across this restaurant while searching for a brunch place and decided on this place as the menu was appealing to us. We had the full English breakfast and the French toast and the meal did not disappoint. Service was friendly but I was particularly impressed with the establishment which was beautifully decorated.
