Bel Canto

Went to Bel Canto as a party of 6 last Friday.The staff/singers were fantastic, the food was lovely, the only criticism is that the food was a little rushed. This was my second visit and i look forward to going again.

I recently went to Bel Canto with some friends, and had one of the best evenings ever. The staff were superb, the food excellent, the ambiance could not be better and the singers superb. It was thoroughly enjoyable.

I was so very impressed that I have arranged to celebrate my 80th birthday party at Bal Canto and look forward to another great evening.

Absolutely fabulous place. Very releaxed and friendly atmosphere with superb opera singers who belt it out in gusto.

We did not experience any major delays between courses. In fact we looked in anticipation for the next song whilst the food was awaited.

The waiters simply make you feel at home! You would be hard-pressed to get a similar fine dining experince anywhere else.

The restauarant is in the basement of the Corus hotel and hotel residents flock to the place. Hence reserve in advance! Definitely recommended.

Being an opera restaurant you pay an extra £15 per head towards the singing, but these singers are worth very penny!

We found this restaurant purely through being a member of the Gourmet Society when we were looking for somewhere interesting to eat near where we were staying (close to Hyde Park)- and i have to say that we believe we 'struck gold' .

The welcoming attitude when we made our telephone booking, the warm, welcome we received as we walked in, and the friendliness of the staff throughout the evening helped to us to relax and enjoy the great entertainment on offer. However you would need to enjoy light opera, as all evening both the talented waiters and waitresses would break into song (accompanied by an equally talented young pianist) weaving their way between the tables, serenading us as we ate.

A minor sacrifice was perhaps the waiting between each course, but the food was good and anyway we didn't want to be rushed as it is a place to stay for the evening!

We left at the end of the evening having enjoyed good food, good wine and knowing that we had been entertained by a very cleverly selected group of talented operatic singers.

We took my mother to Le Bel Canto to celebrate her birthday, we were a little skeptical about the food. Quite often in a "theme" type restaurant the food isn't as good as the entertainment, we were very happy to be proven wrong. The food was excellent, although I would skip the Creme Brulee.

The waiter was friendly, the opera singers helped clear and you're encouraged to ask them about the songs they were singing. They cast on the night we were there didn't disappoint. It's an expensive night out, but a great value when you consider your eating a very nice meal while watching/listening to some incredible singers.

Our only complaint (and a very minor one) was that we were in a table next to the grand piano, which had a large post blocking the view of the singers at times. While they were pretty good about moving about the room, they did end up singing closer to the front quite often making it difficult to see. On the other hand, you could hear them fine.

Visited Bel Canto on the 13 February for a birthday celebration.

We weren't really sure of what to expect but we needn't have been worried, the food, service and the singers were all superb. Wonderful evening for a birthday celebration the only slight downside was the fact the restaurant wasn't very busy but maybe that was because it was the day before Valentines?

Would absolutely recommend Bel Canto.
