Criterion
Lady Blonde says: “Criterion is in possession of an impressively stunning dining room that is ideally suited to pre-theatre dates.” Lady Blonde’s full review
Filed under: Restaurant
Location: West End
Nearest tube: Piccadilly Circus
The 130 year old history resonates from every corner of Criterion which is located, quite literally, on top of Piccadilly Circus. First opening in 1874, the restaurant has played host to the likes of Sir Winston Churchill and the crowd today is predominantly elegant businessmen and the occasional, accidental, stunned tourist. Head Chef, Matthew Foxon offers a Modern European menu complementing the elegant space.
