First week of October arriving at LHR 11:40 am.
Plan is to check in to hotel in Victoria area and have a walk down to Big Ben and along Whitehall towards Trafalgar square to see the sights, take some pictures and stay awake until dinner time
What is your favorite spot for first night dinner?

What ever pub grub is near my accommodation.
In that area consider The Clarence, Horse and Guardsman or the Two Chairman.

If you're specifically asking about a restaurant somewhat near Trafalgar Square:
- Hoppers
- The Palomar
- Maison François
- Berenjak Soho
- Cinnamon Bazaar
- Plaza Khao Gaeng
- Imad’s Syrian Kitchen
- Din Tai Fung Covent Garden
- The French House
Those places are good. Tough to give the best recommendation with no specific criteria.

Two weeks ago we arrived and did the same walk. We made a 5:30 reservation for Dishoom Covent Garden, and we enjoyed it.
It's not far from Trafalgar Square.

Thank you for the replies.
Looking for something that feels like "we are in London!" Not fancy, but different from our three regular choices at home (chicken, burgers, or pizza) And also deciding is not something we are great at when we are hungry and tired.

The pub menus look amazing! I think they are leading so far and even my picky eater can find something she likes :)
