"From the moment, you step into Mr Fogg’s it transports you back in time, as the bar is built on old English wooden panelling, and is decorated with paintings from historical events and ornaments from the past. This makes the experience much more enjoyable as the scenery itself is entertainment, and is a great tourist attraction. For starters, I opted to try all the starters on the menu, so I could taste all the dishes they had to offer. For the first starter, Fogg’s flaked smoked haddock kedgeree was presented, I have never had kedgeree before, and so this was a new dish for me to try. The Mr Fogg’s version consisted of chunks of Haddock, wrapped in curried boiled rice with the boiled egg lying on the top. I was a little sceptical at first but was pleasantly surprised, how well seasoned the rice was and how tasty this little dish was. When I read that grilled frog’s legs were on the menu, my immediate thought was ‘What the hell?’ However, I was willing to give it a go as you only live once! Nevertheless, be warned, as the Frog’s legs do look as if they are about to leap off your plate! I am amazed at how good the frog’s legs actually tasted; it has quite a rubbery texture to the tongue and tastes like exotic chicken. The banana sauce accompanying the legs does make them taste even yummier. I would recommend the Frog’s legs as it definitely breaks the norm and it is always a good idea to try something new- if not, there are always the sweet potato wedges that also come with the legs to nibble on instead. Next to try were the crispy herb tempura prawns, which are accompanied by a spicy dip. This dip absolutely makes the dish, as the dish uses more savoury spices rather than sweet spices. The spicy dip does not set the taste buds completely on fire, but rather it enhances the taste of the prawns, makes them yummier. This dip was everything, which leads me to also try it out with the frog’s legs. Can you believe that all these dishes were just starters? Our main had not come yet. Therefore, for my main, I chose the lobster and avocado salad, which is drizzled with zesty grapefruit dressing. To be honest, I did enjoy the salad, but the grapefruit dressing was too citrus for me as before the dish my palette was quite savoury, which unfortunately aided in enhancing the zest. The salad was well prepared and very refreshing. I did manage to steal some of my friend’s oven-baked salmon, which was topped with cheesy leeks sauce and served on a bed of spring onions mash. Delicious and the salmon pieces were well seasoned and melted in my mouth. The desserts came; at this point, I was completely stuffed. The only disappointing factor was I could not try all the desserts because of my intolerance to certain dairy products, but I manage to try a bit. First, to try was the trio of ice creams vanilla, chocolate, pistachio. The chocolate used is dark chocolate, is very rich, and therefore needs to be tried with other flavours as each flavour compliments each other. The pistachio is quite savoury and therefore calms the richness of dark chocolate. The vanilla ice cream is quite bland, so the dark chocolate enhances the taste. Next to try were the glazed drunken figs, served with mascarpone cream. The initial taste was nice but annoyingly sweet, so it is best to serve as a sharing dish as the taste is quite intense and unique for one person. The figs have an acquired taste but if you have a sweet tooth, this is for you! I would recommend trying this dish first as the taste is quite complex but the more you taste the figs, you will also taste different flavours of the figs. Lastly, the strawberry jelly parfait, which is a British traditional favourite, and immediately brought back childhood memories. My friends and I started to reminisce over childhood party memories whilst eating this dessert, which was a great way to end the brunch. Now the question on your lips, whilst reading this review is- ‘what do the punches taste like? Well luckily, I tasted all the punches, which seemed to be a good idea at the time, but perhaps not for the rest of the day. The punch of Bison was my least favourite but only because it is vodka based and is citrus, which is not my style. Zubrówka Bison grass vodka, Belvedere grapefruit vodka, orange juice, earl grey tea and honeydew melon syrup was used when making this punch. One punchy G&T, which consist of Bombay London, dry Gin, homemade lavender syrup, and fresh lemon juice and grapefruit tonic, topped with sparkling wine. This is a great punch if you love Gin and want a refreshing Gin punch to accompany your food. Punch-Gin above one’s weight; A cinnamon infused star of Bombay London, dry Gin, lemon juice and cranberry juice, topped with Rose lemonade. This punch not only looks beautiful but also tastes amazingly sweet. A girly gin cocktail that goes down a treat! However, of course, my favourite punch had to be rum based; Bacardi Carta Oro rum, Luxardo maraschino cherry liquor, pineapple syrup and lime juice, topped with soda water. This drink was made very strong but with just the right amount of sweetness. This punch was called the Rumpy Pumpy punch. Price: (3 courses for 38, including 1 hour and 31 mins of punch) (3 courses for 32) What to wear: Casual Ambience: Traditional British feel with staff that are very informative and passionate about Mr Fogg’s."

For those who love gin, this place is a must-visit. Upstairs at the Mr Fogg’s Gin Parlour, you'll find an impressive selection of over 100 gins, 15 tonics, and a variety of complimenting botanicals. Enjoy delicious cocktails, seasonal small plates, and Victorian treats.

all about this place made me fall in love with him. a huge selection of gins from all over the world. the place was once the house of the beloved tante gertrude by fogg, whose photos are on the walls. the place has a Victorian atmosphere and the waiters are dressed in Victorian clothing, including corsets. I tried the tanqueray flor de sevilla gin with the Mediterranean tonic with was perfect. I also tried the elderflower warner edwards gin, who was also beautiful. the sweet potato friars were a perfect nibbel with him everything. in any case back. Visualizza piatti

I met a friend here for a few drinks. it is a cozy tavern in the covent garden. it was quite busy when we arrived, but it was possible to sneak a place near the bar. they are mainly specialized in cocktails and beer. a foodie friend in sydney recommended this place and glad I visited. my friend went for herrn foggs pale ale. I'm stuck at the punch-up in the garden. it was a mixture of bombay sapphire gin, homemade lavender tincture, fresh lemon juice and cranberry juice, with fentimans rose lemonade occupied. it was sweet enough for me and had a pink color to it. it was a nice drink I had once more. service is also here friendly.

It’s always nice when you are out for a warm early eve wander and you discover cool places to drink and eat. Even around Covent Garden which is essentially one of the tourist central locations, there is the odd cool joint where you are amongst locals. Mr Fogg’s is one of these spots. Just off theatre land there are two parts to this wonderful surprise. There is the tavern come drinking salon with an entrance on St Martins Lane. The interior is very old school pub themed around Phileas Fogg (hence the name). Then there is the Gin parlour upstairs which you access from an unassuming door on a pedestrianised side street. You are greeted by a host kitted out in the gear of derby hat, sleeve gart...
