Tell us about Christopher’s…

Located in the heart of Central London’s theatre-land, Christopher’s Covent Garden is a timeless martini bar and American restaurant. Housed in an ornate Grade II listed building overlooking Waterloo Bridge, the interior sprawls across three stylish floors: a high-ceilinged dining room reached by a sweeping staircase, ground floor art-deco martini bar and underground Club Room.

The Menu looks incredible…

Overseeing the modern American menu is Francis Agyepong, who has been a loyal member of the Christopher’s team for nearly 23 years. Starters on the main menu include classics such as signature Maryland Crab Cakes and Lobster Bisque with Lobster Dumplings and Shellfish Oil, while the Raw Bar, with dishes such as Monkfish Ceviche and zesty Tuna Tartare, takes a more contemporary twist. Christopher’s USDA Prime Steaks are aged for a minimum of 30 days from Black Angus Cattle bred at Creekstone Farm in Kansas, and steaks come individually grilled to taste, or as a tasting selection. Other highlights from the main menu include the Blackened Salmon with Jambalaya Risotto, and Maine Lobster with Garlic Butter or Grilled Mango Chilli Salsa. Desserts, which come either individually or as part of a Sharing Dessert Plate, include Chocolate Peanut Butter and Caramel Tart served with Espresso ice-cream, and Peach Melba with Amaretto Poached Peaches.

What do you have to offer for brunch?

We have traditional American brunch offerings such as Eggs Benedict, Buttermilk Pancakes and Brioche French Toast, health bunnies are treated to a Superfood Brunch Menu, available on weekends 11.30am-3.30pm. Smoothies and Raw Juices such as Citrus Beet Cleanser (Beets, Chard, Coconut Water, Oranges & Lemon) and Early Chocolate Shot (Almond Milk, Raw Cacao, Peanut Butter) make a virtuous start, followed by dishes such as Warm Kale & Butternut Squash Salad, Chia Seed & Almond Milk Pudding, and Buckwheat Pancakes.

We’re dying to hear about The Martini bar everyone raves about, describe it to us?

Downstairs in the stunning art-deco inspired Martini bar, cocktail-lovers can chose from an extensive menu. Traditional concoctions such as the Dirty Martini can be found on the Classic Martini menu, or for those feeling more adventurous, the Contemporary menu features options such as the Elderberry Martini or the Almond Cigar. For a touch of indulgence, Decadent Martinis include the Apple Pie Martini and the Chilli, Ginger & Chocolate Martini. In addition to martinis, a wide range of classic American cocktails such as the Old Fashioned, Manhattan and Mint Julep accompany a choice of classic, contemporary and champagne cocktails. Drinks are served with US inspired bar snacks such as Popcorn Shrimp and Truffle Nachos.

Do you do Event hire and large bookings for groups?

Tailor-made for private events, the chic downstairs Club Room has touches of 1930s inspiration in its design. The self- contained private dining room with its own private bar is an ideal space for exclusive parties and private dinners. With wifi and audio visual facilities, it also makes a great choice for business meetings and corporate presentations. Bespoke menus for The Club Room are available upon request, from canapés to set menus for up to 80 standing or 40 seated guests.
