Paternoster

We stumbled upon this fantastic hidden gem with a stunning view of St Paul's Cathedral. We had a delightful few hours here, first outside enjoying the sunshine and then inside trying out a sharing platter. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were very friendly and happy, and the drinks were perfect. The food was delicious. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We had a really nice time here. The guys who served us could not have been more helpful. Very good choice of drinks and the food was nice. I would definitely return here next time I’m in London.

I made a reservation for brunch, but ended up sitting outside in the sun instead. The restaurant is beautifully maintained, with a stunning view of St. Paul. The coffee was excellent, far superior to the chain coffee shops in the area, and they had a impressive selection of drinks (we only had coffee for our business meeting, but I can't wait to go back for the wines!). The food was delicious as well, making me question why I had never visited in all my years working nearby. The service was quick and friendly, and I will definitely be returning for more business meetings and after-work drinks!

What a disasterous visit. We visited minutes before noon for lunch. I asked for a copy of the lunch menu and it was as if I was asking for the holy grail. Reluctantly, I got a single copy of the menu for us to share. The menu was same old stuff burgers, fish and chips etc. We ordered a bottle of wine and the two simplest things on the menu. Fish and Chips and Sausage and Mash. The fish was delivered burnt and looked like it was cooked in old oil and the onion gravy was like water. The fish could have swam in it if it was still alive! We sent both items back to the kitchen and they were replaced but the food was only marginally better second time around. Sometimes you just give up! Martina, a lovely member of staff assisted as much as possible but this experience was beyond redemption. So a total bill of nearly £70 to be left with a horrible aftertaste from the food wasn't really what we had expected. My tip to the Paternoster would be to take off the misleading pics off their site of beaitifully prepared food and show the slop that is served up. At least be honest!

Went for a drink and some snacks after a team meeting for 15-20 people and the staff were amazing plus the food was beautiful. Sharing platters were excellent and good value.
