About Rondo
Rondo is a venue in London. It is a London option to research directly before you plan around it, especially if timing, dietary needs, group size, or a particular dining format matters.
For a return visit or a first visit, the safest recommendation is to confirm the practical details with Rondo before making it the anchor of the day. There is not enough menu detail here to steer toward specific dishes or a particular cuisine, so judge it by the current information you can confirm from the venue rather than by an assumed signature order. If the plan depends on a special occasion, a particular atmosphere, or a fixed schedule, check those details in advance.
Use Rondo when a London option fits the plan
Rondo is a London venue where the key planning step is confirmation: opening times, availability, menu, accessibility, any group requirements should be checked directly. If you are still comparing options, you might also look at Great Queen Street or Abeno, depending on what kind of meal you want.

Restaurant context
How Rondo compares in central London
Choose Rondo when the priority is an easy, central London plan around Holborn. Against Akatuki Covent Garden, it reads as the lower-friction choice for a general meal, while Akatuki makes more sense when Covent Garden location and a more specific Japanese direction are the reason for going.
Sycamore Restaurant & Bar is the closer cross-shop for a hotel-adjacent restaurant-and-bar feel; pick it if the room and drinks matter as much as the food. The Rosebery is the better fit for a polished daytime occasion, especially if the plan is built around afternoon tea or a more dressed-up setting.
For more character, Great Queen Street is the stronger alternative. For a cuisine-led decision, Abeno is easier to justify than Rondo because the format is clearer. Rondo wins when convenience, booking ease, a central meeting point outweigh a tightly defined dining brief.
