Great for fine wines
Charming
Good for special occasions

Our beliefs are simple - in a world full of so much terrific food and wine, why settle for a slab of quiche and a glass of boring plonk? Our food is innovative, fresh and tasty... and available at all hours. The wine list speaks for itself - "Legendary for its iconoclastic notes. It doesn"t necessarily tell you what the wine tastes like - you have to make your mind up. It's there to provoke interest", says Harpers, the wine trade magazine. As Barossa wine making supremo John Glaetzer puts it so succinctly, "Don, this is not just a wine list - it's a book". And a readable one at that!

We have been going to C&B for many years, the quality of food, wine and service has always been great. We introduced some friends to the C&B and they were impressed and thought the C&B was a hidden gem.

Menu always has a great, varied choice. Waiting and kitchen staff are helpful if you have allergy issues. Obviously the wine list is second to none!

The food and the drinks were fabulous. The waiter made some excellent recommendations for wine which was greatly appreciated. The only downside was that we felt rushed for time. We had a 4:45pm reservation, we had booked early since we had the Opera to attend. We were told 3 times that we needed to be out by 6:45!!! We had plenty of time and we had a deadline (which we told them). It felt wrong that even though we had made a reservation, the felt the need to usher us out.

Another really lovely pre-theatre meal. We went for a late lunch at 4pm but the place was still buzzing with atmosphere. The waiting staff were great - we hadn't been as a family for a year or so, but the waiter recognised us and was very warm and welcoming. The food was stunning as always, and we had a lovely bottle of wine from their great selection. We'll be back again and again!

Excellent as always. This place is a hidden gem and we always go here if in Leicester Square. The food is of good quality, but the staff are outstanding and very attentive. We went late afternoon midweek, and it still had a buzz. Every table was full by 6pm and the place was 'alive'. Few friends hadn't been before and said they cannot wait to return with their friends and family Keep up the good work C+B!!!!
