ObedOctober 9, 2014The Fat Radish plate is vegetarian and surprisingly filling! The berry ice cream was delicious and had lots of actual berries.- Leigh FerreiraSeptember 1, 2013drink the tequila rose, soooo spicy & yummy and eat the sweet pea & mint pot pie. delish!
Jon PressmanJanuary 29, 2020Fantastic fresh veggies. Try the scotch egg and the cauliflower steak special.
Kathryn DJune 15, 2016For vegetarians, the market plate is the best option. Otherwise, the monk fish curry is delicious if on menu.
Hadn't been here in a while. Brunch was terrific. Putting this spot back in rotation
MaddieJune 15, 2014Get the scotch egg and spring pea pot pie, you can't go wrong with these appetizers!
Amy SagarJanuary 9, 2016The crab gratin and Brussels sprouts are amazing to start and then the pork chop was unreal!
Of a KindDecember 4, 2011This week's designers--the girls behind jewelry line Fortune Favors the Brave--rounded up their nine fave spots in the city. They tell us the monkfish here is not to be missed!
Mullica ZudsiriMarch 2, 2015Definitely get a reservation! But sitting at the bar isn't so bad either. Loved the lamb stew and elderflower lemonade.
marc calamiaApril 17, 2012Without a doubt -- celery pot pie. Then monk fish vindaloo, peakytoe gratin (crazy good) and best of all the seared sea scallops. Whoa.
LukeMarch 14, 2015People rave about the burger, but this place is all about the amazing variety of tasty veggies
AlexisMay 1, 2013Get the peekytoe crab gratin. It's crazy rich and delicious and oh, also, everything you've ever wanted in life.
Tian XieJanuary 25, 2015Never heard of a scotch egg before, but it's like an egg inside a meatball and it's very delicious.
Maya ShanmugamJanuary 22, 2017Got a crowd of vegetarians and carnivores? Look no further. Great farm to table vibes
Meredith BlechmanOctober 7, 2014Love the fat radish plate - filling and delicious veggies in season. All about local, great date spot
Ben WatsonOctober 4, 2011Gives English cooking a good name. Coming from an Aussie that is a big compliment. Try the burger. Have a casual drink at the small bar sometime.
Earth TerminalMarch 18, 2015Pot pie & potato cake are good dishes. It's expensive, tho, and they "don't accept coinage". Ie: they pocket the change in the bill which they also round up on. Fine 1:1 but restaurant wide is sketch.
Evan BartlettJanuary 11, 2015The Scottish egg was out of this world and the char was cooked perfectly
Karen L.June 22, 2014Peeky toe crab dish was amazing, actually everything is. Cocktails are excellent.
The New YorkerFebruary 15, 2011The women look like they may be jewelry designers and are overheard pronouncing Kenya “Keen-ya”; the men are almost universally floppy-haired and insist on wearing their plaid scarves through dinner. Read more
Vinaya VishwanathJanuary 9, 2015The celery root pot pie is out of this world! The fat radish plate is all steamed vegetables and only so-so.
Emma JacobyJanuary 2, 2014Payed $15 for a glass of cheap wine that shouldnt have been more than $8. We could have gone to a fancy steak place and gottan a lot better and more food for the same price our meal here costs.
Ryan O'TooleDecember 26, 2013The food was great and the staff was friendly, but the brunch was overpriced-even for New York-and overall not the best value.
Jay MimesJanuary 3, 2015Honestly, everything is good, the portions are pretty sizeable - but nothing is exquisite enough to merit the prices of this quaint restaurant.
Cameron BorrielloDecember 18, 2015Great cocktail list. As far as food try the scotch eggs appetizer!
Vanity Fair AgendaOctober 5, 2011One of the VF Creative team's favorite new restaurants. Be sure to say hey to the chef Nick and order Celery Root Pot Pie.
Ben HickeyOctober 26, 2014Beautiful, tranquil little haven out of the Chinatown madness just outside.
ZeechApril 2, 2011So legit. They botched our registration. Comping food and drinks left and right to make up for it. Brilliant. This place is the REAL DEAL. A+++
MaggieAugust 16, 2011Like most NYC restaurants, the food is amazing. However, the service and ambiance really set this restaurant apart from the rest.
FelixJanuary 12, 2013Scallops for the win. Their richness was beautifully cut with some acidity in the sear.- Adam SiroisJanuary 6, 2013best restaurant in the area. the radish plate is the jam. excellent grey hounds
OonlineJuly 18, 2011Amazing staff. Helpful, friendly, warm. Food: all delicious and so fresh. Tomato salad was amazing!!

The Fat Radish is a simple, elegant and airy room that still retains the industrial feel of London's original Covent Garden marketplace. The menu is bound by one philosophy , simple, healthy, delicious dishes created with well-sourced, seasonal ingredients.

"Cozy neighborhood British gastropub. Recommend: scotch egg, fish and chips with mushy peas, pot pies and sticky toffee pudding. Great beer selection."

"From Eater: Steak au poivre: grilled over apple wood chips. Pig trotters and calves’ feet in the pepper sauce yields a supreme level of stickiness; like coating the beef with savory caramel."

"A wonderful place. Great camaraderie between imbibers and servers alike. A darker, cozier and slightly smaller place but it's off the busy path and ready to serve a good drink at a good price."
