As the Hound of Holborn, I probably ought to have a view on the best restaurant in Holborn. For my money, it is the Holborn Dining Room at the Rosewood. The place oozes old-hotel grandeur: dark wood, leather, brass and that slightly theatrical sense of occasion which makes you want to settle in rather than rush through dinner. The service is invariably impeccable and the food consistently excellent. But the real reason I keep coming back is the pies. I have a considerable weakness for pie and mash, and I have yet to find a posh version that beats theirs. Proper pastry, generous fillings, excellent mash and gravy — comforting food given the full five-star-hotel treatment without losing sight of what makes a pie worth eating in the first place. The rest of the menu is superb, but I find it remarkably difficult to come here and order anything else. Given its location, for me this tends to be somewhere for lunch or dinner with colleagues, fellow solicitors and professional contacts rather than a family outing. For that sort of meal it works particularly well: smart enough to feel like an occasion, but still comfortable enough to have a proper conversation over good food. Is it expensive? Of course it is. You’re eating at the Rosewood. Nobody walks through those doors expecting a Big Mac and chips. I cannot really fault it. One of Holborn’s finest, certainly worth a visit and, for me, the home of London’s best posh pie and mash.

Great wine bar in the City. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Bar was clean, only downside is that the food menu is fairly limited. I would recommend if you like good wine, nice decor and friendly staff.

    2nd visit recently - as before, a great lunch. Starters, mains and wine all excellent. My guest ordered Dover Sole and our waiter (Jhon?) did a fantastic job filleting the fish for us - it was fascinating to watch. Going back next week with my wife and children, its becoming a family favourite for us

    Four of us gather once a year for afternoon tea, and The Parlour was one of the best we've had. The tea was nicely paced, the service was attentive without being obtrusive, we were able to talk without shouting and the cocktails were huge fun, as was the food. We particularly liked that the deconstructed-sandwich element of the savoury items were given enough space of their own and the sweet things arrived as several "courses" so we had time to enjoy them.
