A suberb and extensive menu is available at Champagne Charlies. Sean Davies, Executive Chef, has carefully developed both menus to incorporate seasonal foods with a strong emphasis on home grown British produce.
The new menus are brimming with tasty new dishes as well as some refreshed favourites ranging from hand carved Alderton ham now accompanied by our own home made Piccalilli, to slow cooked fennel and sea salt crusted pork belly.
Being located under the arches of Charing Cross makes this centrally located bar a popular destination. The charming interior offers a distinct bar and restaurant feel as well as offering two small private offices and a dining room which can seat up to 45 people.
An extensive list of wines by the glass and bottle are served, as well as beers and spirits. As an independent family run Wine Merchants, Davy’s carefully select all the wines to ensure they are just right.
Please note: On Saturday food is served from 5pm; tastecard holders will be entitled to 50% discount off the total value of food purchased from the a la carte menu. This discount is available at lunchtime and in the evening only, in the dining room open from 12.00 to 3.00pm and 5.30 to 9.30pm. Champagne Charlies is closed on a Sunday. A tastecard cannot be used in conjunction with any other special offer, this may include set menus. The offer is not available on Bank Holidays and throughout the month of December.

Party of four went on Friday night. Booked through tastecard web site and reserved table and was informed automatically that the tastecard was acknowledged and would be getting a 50% discount. Great start. Food was very enjoyable; we had a main and a dessert with coffee. Service very good, although the two waiters were very busy but we were not kept waiting. Calves liver, mackerel and a vegetarian mushroom course (x2) were all excellent. We had either pear and apple crumble or chocolate brownie between us for dessert. Tasty and of course, sensational value. Going back - you go too!

We booked on a Saturday evening for our 1st Wedding Anniversary before attending the theatre and we're very pleased we did. Everything about the experience was perfect, the staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, the food was extremely tasty and I was able to swap the ice cream to accompany my brownie to the salty caramel which was divine. The venue has a lovely atmosphere with a rustic decor and with our table secluded really enhanced the dining experience. My husband was also very pleased to be served a draft beer in a tankard! We would highly recommend Champagne Charlie’s and will visit again.

Turned up on Valentine’s Day because of a great meal when last in London in May. The head waiter managed to find us a table for three. Drinks order arrived very quickly while decided on food. Sirloin steak, fish and chips and chicken escalope well cooked tasty treats. Two Pavlova and a cheese and biscuits finished off the eats admirably.
Although the place was very busy the staff were very kindly and efficient giving us great hospitality. They all worked very hard. Great credit to the head waiter who worked just as hard to make our stay so enjoyable.
The buzz in the place is good for people watching between courses too. "

I've been to Champagne Charlie’s twice in two weeks after discovering how lovely it is there. You can book online, the food is delicious, the service is brilliant and the atmosphere is cheerful without being loud. Perfect for a meal and a catch-up. For a three course dinner and a bottle of wine it was £25 each including a tip! Only slight issue is that there's not much phone signal as it's underground, so meet friends outside if they don't know where they're going!

I can't say enough about Champagne Charlie’s. I have been 5 times now on tastecard with various groups of friends and family and each time it exceeds my expectations. Gorgeous food, amazing value with tastecard, lovely staff and fab rooms.
Will be back again soon! So proud taking people in here. "

"Champagne Charlies is a hidden little gem. In a beautiful setting, the restaurant is tucked away behind the bar. The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive and informative. I have already recommended it to our friends and I will definitely be heading back there soon!

"I would like to thank Champagne Charlies for a fantastic meal on Saturday evening. I booked tastecard after a previous lovely experience here for a meal for myself and 8 of my family. We were given a private room and all had 2 courses and everyone loved their meals so we were thrilled when we had 50% off at the end. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere special in London. Amazing food and lovely restaurant and staff.

"Booked a private room for four last night. The place was deserted but the food was great! Service slow but that was probably more to do with the lack of tables occupied than anything else. They were a bit surly when we stayed on a while - I got the feeling that they all wanted to go home, but on the whole a good value and tasty meal. Whitebait in particular was excellent, as was the Apricot Bread and Butter Pudding.

"Excellent three course top class meal for 3 people for just £60. We even had our own private room and because it was a birthday celebration the champagne is on a fantastic offer as you get the % discount of the age of the birthday boy or girl. Would strongly recommend!

"Saturday lunch. Very good food and nice service. Sirloin steak grilled as ordered and delicious pork belly. Good selection of cheeses to finish off the meal. (However kitchen should pay a bit more attention to the green salad freshness).
Thank you!

"I very much like the layout of this place. With the tastecard discount I think the prices are very reasonable for the area.
The sirloin steak was average.
The house Rose wine was very nice.

"Good pre-theatre meal on 15 Oct. This is one of the few in the area which will accept tastecard on a Friday evening.
Four of us dined, each eating steaks which were high quality and cooked exactly as ordered. Finished with their excellent treacle tart.
Bill, less wine, £62. Definitely good value. Note that this restaurant has a "labyrinth" layout with both lively and quiet areas. The choice is yours.
