Dial Bar & Restaurant at the Mountbatten Hotel restaurant and product information

Dial Restaurant, London - a la carte dining

Situated at Seven Dials in the heart of Covent Garden, Dial is an immensely popular meeting place for people that live and work in the area, as well as theatregoers.

It can be described as cool, chic and sophisticated, with wooden floors and leather chairs. But the service is unfailingly helpful and friendly. Ross Pilcher oversees the cooking style, it has received 2 AA rosettes.

Staff pick

Only 50 steps from my office, this restaurant is one of my regular haunts. A great mix of urbanites with a "Sex in the City" ambience. Sit on aubergine and chocolate leather armchairs in the bar, eat fab nibbles and have cocktails that are great for boosting creativity in a brainstorm! The restaurant itself has a new chef, and is extremely reasonable for its location - think chic, shiny décor, pan-fried John Dory - with very flattering lighting and charming waiters. If you can't make it home, you can always stay the night!

Customer recommendation

The waiter treated me as if I was family, the food was (almost) too beautiful to eat, and the decor was infinitely more glamorous than my living room. I think I may have to live at Dial permanently!
