Where is the First Dates restaurant? And, can you actually eat there?

It’s one of the most famous restaurants on TV but surprisingly little is actually known about the First Dates eaterie, Paternoster Chop House. Luckily we’ve done our research and found out exactly what you need to know about it; From where it’s located, to what it serves and how much a meal costs. Sadly, there’s no sign of Maître d’ Fred, bartender Merlin or waiter Sam when the cameras stop rolling. 

Situated in Bank, in the district of London known as ‘The City’, the restaurant responsible for (hopefully) pairing off singletons is indeed a real, functioning restaurant that members of the public can dine at when filming is not taking place. Located at 1 Warwick Court, Paternoster Square, it’s next door to St Paul’s Cathedral and therefore a prime location for tourists who might be wanting to visit one of the city’s oldest Holy buildings or the likes of the nearby Tate Modern.
