Menier Chocolate Factory

I found myself enjoying everything on and off the menu at the Chocolate Factory. The area hidden away the rear is particularly inviting. My only advice is to not bite off more than you can chew! I was caught taliking with my mouthful several times!

I have taken clients for lunch and eaten before the theatre at this little treasue of a place. I couldnt disagree more the last review. The food is always terriffic and tasty, huge potions and excellent quality. I particularly love the goats cheese and chocolate starter and the organic lamb kebabs for my main. The staff are friendly and passionate about thier jobs, the attached theatre and seem to really care about giving people a good experience.. The best thing of all is the character and charm from the bricks and high ceilings, the dining room is very cool and funky in a relaxed shabby sheek way. I really love the little sofa area hidden away from everyone in the back corner. The prices offer good value for the portions, and reflect the quality of the food.

This is a fantastic restaurant. Brilliant service and a really good atmosphere. A great place to chill out with friends. A restaurant like this is very rare to find in London!

A gang of 15 (noisy!) friends ate here earlier in the month - it was great. They were flexible in booking and helpful on the night. Really friendly staff and good food (and plenty of wine). There is a theatre so everyone who is eating early will be finished by 8 for the start of the performance - so book a table for 8 O'Clock and it's great. We'll be back. Apparently the comedy in the theatre is worth a shot too.

Great restaurant. The food is all the basic staples but executed very well. We had the most amazing burgers and hand cut chips. Also tried the veal starter and the artichoke rissotto which were both quite fabulous. The desserts were unadventerous but ticked all the right boxes. Again with the basics covered the wine list is unexceptional but we tried a few of the reds and whites on offer by the glass and they were all perfectly fine. The service was great, it was nice to see waiters with personality and awarness of what is going on. Everyone who we spoke to seemed happy to be there and that really put a positive spin on the evening.

The ambience is great candle lit, interesting music, great lighting and lots of movie stills and nic-nacs.
