64 Goodge Street is a new restaurant from Woodhead Restaurant Group, which opened in early August 2023. A former travel agent in our beloved Fitzrovia (64’s older siblings Portland and Clipstone are just round the corner), we were hugely excited by the opportunity this blank slate of a site afforded us.We’ve been able to build from the bottom up, and therefore design every inch of space to meet our hope for 64 Goodge Street. Namely, that it is a space in which guests feel utterly taken care of. We are open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner. We very much hope to see you soon.

Everything is about this place is good. We love the ambience and the staff are outstanding - friendly, attentive, perfect! A lovely place to meet up with friends. The food was good (3 of us had the flat-iron steak and chips - both delicious) and there was a set vegetarian menu. It is nice and quiet so good for chatting. I would strongly recommend.

We all enjoyed the food and the Chocolate fondant dessert was one of the best I have ever had. So light, not too rich or sweet. Lamb dishes were cooked extremely well, 3 people in our group loved them and fish mains also cooked very well. Only downside was restaurant was cold as it is winter. Staff who served us were lovely and polite led by the main waiter we had named Jonti (hope I spelt correctly). Hopefully will return later in the year and eat out on the terrace area they have.

Gasmin our server was great. We ordered the prix fixe which was good. I loved the salad and the desert but the main ( essentially fried haddock) was good but not great. Next time I’ll order off the main menu The place has a beautiful art nouveau decor and is in a great neighborhood I’d recommend it and as I said our server was great

Had an excellent family meal for 10 of us with great ambiance and service. We were placed in a quieter part of the restaurant which is what we asked for and everyone really enjoyed their food. Thank you
