Blakes Hotel Bar

Myself and a group of 5 friends ate at Blakes recently. We were greeted warmly by the staff and shown to our table. We had a great table for our party towards the back of this intimate restaurant.

We were presented with the menu and the choices looked sumptuous and when each course arrived, they certainly lived up to the description.

I have eaten at various well known West End restaurants and a few in Knightsbridge and Kensington, but so far this has been my favourite in all ways.
Perhaps the price is slightly more expensive than some of the best of the rest...or not so best of the rest, but on reflection the overall experience, food, wine, ambience and service was perfect and I couldn't find fault with Blakes.
Thank you for a wonderful evening and compliments to the Chef and staff. I'd love to return in the not too distant future.

Blakes is one of my favourite places in London. It is all dark and squished, but in a good way. I would definitely recommend this place for a third date, it will get you laid. Fact. You might want to wait for pay day though.

Everything on the menu is pretty much amazing. Take heed if ordering the souffle, because it is the size of a small country and could feed five. Easily.

Whether eating, drinking or staying in this sumptuous South Kensington hotel, designed by famous hotelier Anouska Hempel, you can expect to be taken care of royally.

Having spent many a night here ensconced in the bar, or fine dining, I definitely hold it dear. It is an area institution and deservedly so.

The staff are always warm and welcoming, especially to their favorite customers, and although it is dark through and through, the style of the place merits it.

If you desire to be taken care of properly, then definitely look no further than Blakes.
