    Bon endroit où il faut réserver à l'avance si on veut avoir une table (c'est déjà un bon signe ...). Les plats étaient très bons, l'atmosphère est chaleureuse et les serveurs sont aux "petits soins" avec la clientèle et très gentils. L'un d'eux nous a même rattrapé dehors dans la rue après notre départ car mon épouse avait oublié son parapluie au restaurant pour l'anecdote. Ce sera un bon souvenir et une adresse à conseiller.

Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau, et merci de recommander notre adresse ! Bien cordialement, Faros Holborn

    We came to this extremely lovely restaurant as their other Faros on Oxford Circus was fully booked. We were not disappointed the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and welcoming. They really couldn’t do enough for us. I have this restaurant 5 stars on everything because they really did go above and beyond our expectations. Definitely recommend this little gem .

    Lovely restaurant just outside the bustling streets of London. The restaurant is small but the staff were on point. Food came out quick and was very good. Pappardelle with short rib was rich and tasty!

    I can't say enough good things about Faros Restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing! But what really stood out was the incredible service. We were there celebrating my nephew's birthday, and the staff went above and beyond to make it a truly special occasion for him. He was thrilled and said it was the best dining experience he’s ever had! A special mention to our sever Oreo! . It was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you, Faros, for giving us an unforgettable evening. We’ll definitely be back!
