"Having dinner at Berners Tavern feels like eating inside the Sistine Chapel, or at least a really, really rich guy’s house. The posh brasserie food’s good, but you’re really paying for the atmosphere—it’s a rite of passage to pretend that the ridiculously ornate decor and high ceilings are no big deal. It’s excellent for celebrations with a group, or when you’re going all-out to impress someone. If you don’t want to commit to a full meal, the bar’s excellent for an epic drink before you hit a show." - Team Infatuation
"Go on, leave those jeans at home. They’ve worked hard all year. When you’re looking to wear something from the section of your wardrobe that rarely gets to see the light of day, Berners Tavern is a good place to start. Part of the Edition Hotel in Fitzrovia, this big British restaurant serves a very decent steak and looks like Louis XIV had a hand in the interior design. Expect Versailles-style moulded ceilings, countless gold-framed oil paintings, and the kind of lighting that makes you look 20% more like a member of the Hadid family than you do now." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak
"Atherton’s restaurant serves rich, comfort food with a signature subtle twist, is the spiritual center of the property." - Ashley Simpson
"This cavernous dining room in London Edition harks back to old-school glamour. The walls of Berners Tavern in Fitzrovia are adorned with art in gilt-edged frames and brown leather banquettes are the best seats in the house. The contemporary British menu offers dishes like slow-cooked Herdwick lamb and pork and pistachio pie. At breakfast, go for the Berners Tavern full English." - Daisy Meager
"Overseen by Jason Atherton, afternoon tea in the OTT surrounds of Berners Tavern is cheffy but substantial: toasted crumpets with brown shrimp and caviar, English mustard and cider-cured ham croissants, apple and cinnamon crumble tarts and crisp coffee macaroons, plus a selection of teas. £39.50." - Emma Hughes
