Reviewing LONDON'S OLDEST RESTAURANT! (Filmed in JAMES BOND!)

Wow. What a special video I have for you today. I was able to make a visit to Rules Restaurant in Covent Garden which is not only the oldest restaurant in London but also one of the world's most famous restaurants. Rules was also used in the James Bond 007 film, Spectre in 2015. Let's give it a go!

I believe that they do a fantastic Sunday lunch, as a retired London chauffeur I spent many an evening outside Rules, they always brought coffee out to the chauffeur which was complimentary

I had my 60th birthday meal there with my family and sister came over from Australia. We loved every minute.

[@GaryEats]

Absolutely brilliant to hear Steve. Very intrigued to what you ordered

[@GaryG1974]

Hi Gary, I love how you show the whole menu, so we can pause the video and read through it in its entirety. How dare anyone call Irish Coffee a "Cocktail", it should be a staple of everyone's daily diet 😝 There is too much good stuff to choose on that menu. I would have ended up with one of everything! 🤣 Any place offering Venison on their menu gets my full respect. Venison is just so difficult to get right. I do not want it totally raw but if they overcook it, it is like chewing leather. Before we get into the eating, I think the choices of food you made were excellent, all of it looked delicious. I could never criticise anyone for their food dislikes; especially if they were linked to intolerances or allergies but mushrooms do seem to go perfectly well with pies. I would consider mushrooms to be most appropriate with chicken but they work well with steak also. So, thank you for trying them and getting the full experience. Sorry!?! Never be sorry for enjoying and eating the food! It is nice to know that it is actually worth eating. "The best crumble I have ever had in my life"...WOW! That is a mega statement and coupled with what is on the menu, I really need to visit this place! Gary, you know how much a love this channel and I will support it as best I can forever! But, please, please, please we must not question the "price". We must only question the "value". It was most definitely value for money and thanks for your amazing review, I will be going there myself in the not too distant future. If people are only concerned about "price" then they have plenty of options between McDonald's, Burger King, KFC or any of the numerous high street chicken shops for basic sustenance and filling their belly! 🤣

[@GaryEats]

Gary, I have no words again. Thank you so much for your support of the channel and your outrageous generosity. I appreciate the kind words and yes, the crumble was something special. Completely valid point on value/price - sometimes it can be difficult to gauge but all I will say is that Rules is superb and you will have a great time. Take care and have a good weekend.

I was recommended to go to Rules many years ago by a friend that worked in London who sadly isn’t with us anymore. After the first visit we have been back many times it is very special and worth saving up for if you are going to a show or just shopping, even an anniversary. It is said to have been a favourite with Edward VII.

[@missmerrily4830]

What a wonderful traditional British vibe and I think we should be celebrating our own food more than we do. When well cooked with good ingredients, it can not only hold its own with many other cuisines, but actually surpasses them. Eating that 'shroom' was well above the call of duty Gary. A true food reviewer to give it a go! I think it's the sort of establishment where I'd really enjoy having wine with my meal too. Now I always thought tapenade was generally made with black olives, so the tomato was a new one on me and I'm not sure I completely loved the look of it on the broccoli, but the taste can be something different I know. I really loved the look of those dauphinoise potatoes though. Overall, it all looked super-yummy. How lovely to see the desserts called 'puddings'. That took me back! And that garden area would have made me give a score of 10 on its own. But I'll agree with you on the overall score. The prices are amazing considering it's Covent Garden! Oh yes, I shall definitely desert my beloved favourites next time I visit, in favour of trying Rules! A lovely and interesting meal and review Gary.

OMG Gary, you went and did it ! The one place on the face of this earth I want to go to ! What a beautiful looking meal, a REAL pie and proper gravy. The broccoli looked delicious and the tapenade was a lovely touch. I think there will probably have been some olives in there as well. That was a REAL English meal, so glad that places like RULES still exist. I’d have passed on the dessert and had either the potted shrimps or the rabbit terrine and then the steak & kidney pudding - my most favourite dish of all time !! What a winner my friend 11/10 for me. 👍👍

I went last month I love my wine and cocktails which puts the bill £200 plus i will say if you have the huge rump steak have very well done or it’s hard to carve when I go again soon I’m having the meal Gary ordered. Ps: a good wine will cost £54 plus. But the drinks that make the bill hefty and don’t forget the Irish coffee 😊

Hi Gary. I used to work under a chef who trained at The Garrick Club in the 70's in/near Covent Garden, a similar establishment to this one. He said it was like a museum and you could feel the history as soon as you walked in. The front was originally white, apparently, but became black due to the air pollution in London. Some of his tales of what went on in The Garrick Club kitchen (bear in mind it was the late 60's) were enough to make your stomach turn inside-out - I'll leave it there! Great post as always 👍.

What a great all-around experience. It was British cooking at its best! The gravy looked how real gravy should look and it did match with the steak and kidney pie as it should.

I have been to Rules 2 or 3 times a year for the last 20 years. It is always brilliant. The pies are the best in London - better than the London Pie Room at the Rosewood in Holborn and cheaper as well. Next time try the Chicken and Leek - i guarantee you wont have tasted better. On the price: for the taste/service/location I think its very good value for money (I know i risk setting the internet on fire here....). Ask the staff about the history of the upstairs cocktail bar - it was the private dining room used by Edward VII and Lilly Langtry. The ironically named "tradesman's entrance" door to the right of the main door on Maiden lane took them directly upstairs without being seen by diners. The wine and coctails there are steep but its the best balanced Bloody Mary you wll find in London. Great review Gary and well done on approaching 70 subs.

What a treasure! This is my favorite restaurant yet. Great review, Gary. Your choices were spot on to showcase the traditional menu. Really enjoyed the relaxing, unique garden at the end. The experience seemed to be fulfilling in many ways, ending in contentment. A true London experience.

This brought back fond memories of the lunch I had in Rules with my business partner/Finance Director with our Company auditor, where I thoroughly enjoyed my first tasting of wild boar as the main course of three. The ambience in this place, with its history, is something else and the wonderful food, washed down with a couple of bottles of wine was even more pleasurable when our auditor picked up the tab, when I, in true Scottish fashion had to retreat to the toilet, when the bill was presented. 🤣🤣 Thank you for the memory, "Gary Eats" .

[@GaryEats]

I’m really pleased it brought back some excellent memories Jim

I think this is my favourite review that you have ever done ❤ I did think it was an easy 10/10 though, I can't think that you have been more effusive in your praise before.

[@GaryEats]

Amanda I absolutely loved this one as well, it was the hardest to film but definitely worth it

[@nigelb5254]

A great review Gary thank you. I have been to Rules a few times and it’s excellent - I hope your review doesn’t lead to it becoming too busy 😅.
