The restaurant has an impressive list of patrons, including actor Laurence Olivier, Buster Keaton, Stan Laurel, Charles Laughton, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin and John Barrymore.

For our special day, Pirita ordered salmon fillet and Mika`s choice was pheasant breast with cream lentils, bacon and apples. As our red wine, we chose Chianti. Good to knowSince Rules is London`s oldest restaurant – founded in 1798 – it has earned a good reputation over the decades.
The service is excellent, as is the food. British, with a modern twist: Rules serves steaks, fish, rabbit or lamb, traditionally made but with exceptional taste. It is highly recommended to book dinner and London`s restaurants are busy during the week. Rules is a very good old restaurant and throughout its long history, Rules tables have been filled with writers, artists, lawyers, journalists and actors. In addition to being frequented by great literary talents. Thank you for informing us about the restaurant. Nice to see that you had a great experience with this restaurant. I`m going to have dinner at this restaurant. I use the ChefOnline website and mobile app to order food online. The outside can be seen when M leaves and holds the camera at the window. Good scene and a great restaurant! Wonderful! Thanks for posting.
Next time I`m in London, I have to visit this restaurant. MI6 is threatened by a mole from Spectre. So where do you go when there are secret deals to discuss? Best at London`s oldest and most mysterious restaurant. “It took three days of shooting,” recalls the waiter as he drinks béarnaise sauce from one of the best rump steaks we`ve ever tasted. “And then the last scene of the movie only lasted a few seconds.” Woods, oil paintings and souvenirs fill the walls, the chairs are upholstered in red velvet, all the waiters wear bow ties. We are in Rules, the oldest and – for some – the best restaurants in London. And M`s choice when it comes to eating late. You can request the table of M in Spectre and they will know which table you want. But since the table is for four people, couples may be out of luck. Attention: Right next to the original is a table for two people and a prop from the film, which exhibits the restaurant. The restaurant was founded in 1798 as the oldest restaurant in London and is located on Maiden Lane, Covent Garden.
We went to Rules on Saturday after booking the table about a month ago before Spectre was released, so we were extremely excited to see him in the movie last Sunday.

The restaurant has also been mentioned in novels by Graham Greene, Dick Francis and Evelyn Waugh. The restaurant is located at 34-35 Maiden Lane in Covent Garden, an area in the heart of London.

Dinner at Rules is quite an expensive treat. So if you want to skip the meal, there is a good bar upstairs. As the restaurant can get very busy in the evenings, this could actually be M`s choice: a wooden bar right in front of an old fireplace, comfortable cabins, and cocktails. Loyal to Bond, connoisseurs enjoy “Lucia Sciarra” – made with Bombay gin, Gammel Dansk and Benedictine. It is the right choice to end an exquisite evening. Founded in 1798, Rules is considered the oldest restaurant of its kind in London. White chocolate burnt was our choice for desserts. Wonderful – that`s pretty much the right word to describe our night at Rules. And we still don`t know if it was because of the simple, high-strength drinks or the plush carpets that made us feel like we were on a new cloud. Maybe it was just because we were celebrating our sixth birthday and we were drunk with love – pun absolutely intentional.
After Bond infiltrates the Blofeld base in Morocco, his MI6 partners at home do their best to keep Bond invisible to a mole in the British secret service. M (Ralph Fiennes), Q (Ben Whishaw) and Moneypenney (Naomie Harris) meet at Rules to discuss future concerted action. “He`s on his own,” M concludes of Bond. Very interesting blog you have here! Just a small correction – Hildon sparkling water comes from Broughton in Hampshire, not Scotland (I have family in the village).
