The Best Restaurants in London

Restaurants | Mayfair

CUT In possession of a surname that even his own mother struggled to pronounce, young Wolfgang appeared doomed to a life of mediocrity – he would be the forgettable “Mr.Topfschnig”.

Restaurants | Westminster

Caxton Grill, Bar and Terrace Caxton Grill’s based in St. Ermin’s Hotel – which also houses the Caxton Bar and Terrace. A glorious trinity of incentives to toddle along.

Restaurants | Moorgate

Chiswell Street Dining Rooms This, the Martins’ latest venture, detours from a formula that has brought them so much success over the past ten years: it’s neither a pub, nor does its name begin with “The”.

Restaurants | Hoxton

Red Dog Saloon To coin a cowboy phrase, “it don’t take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep”. Which is probably why you’ll enjoy saddling up and heading to Red Dog Saloon.

Restaurants | Mayfair

Pollen Street Social The first solo eatery from Jason Atherton (who trained under Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay), with a design your own dining experience.

Restaurants | Chelsea

The Big Easy The Big Easy. The biggest, easiest meal you’ll ever eat.

Restaurants | Mayfair

Scott’s A bona fide London classic, serving seafood in Mayfair.

Restaurants | Covent Garden

Hawksmoor Seven Dials The first sibling to Hawksmoor Spitalfields, set in a spacious, temple-like dining room dedicated to beef….

Restaurants | Camden

Chin Chin Labs The couple that run Chin Chin Labs aren’t actually that odd, despite wearing lab coats and being tucked in behind various bottles and test tubes of liquid nitrogen.  But they look it.

Restaurants | Soho

Dean Street Townhouse Old school: mince and potatoes, fish and chips with mushy peas, rib eye steak, roast chicken, jam roly poly and rhubarb crumble.  If the chef’s not somebody’s Mum, he ought to be.

Restaurants | Marylebone

Relais De Venise L’Entrecote Menus are overrated.  And so say the team of choice-slayers behind this wildly popular Parisian institution…which is now also a wildly popular London institution. There’s one meal here: steak frites.

Restaurants | Soho

Nordic Bakery A, er, Nordic Bakery, serving the best cinnamon buns in London, in peaceful surrounds.

Restaurants | Covent Garden

Cafe Pacifico A Mexican restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden that’s older than Prince William. Over the past 30 years its grown to become a genuine institution: a classic in the heart of London, albeit it a kitsch one….

Restaurants | Wapping

Il Bordello It’s the jewel in Wapping’s crown: a truly authentic Italian restaurant, complete with red and white chequered tablecloths and 90 year old waiters who don’t speak English unless they really have to.

Restaurants | Fitzrovia

Archipelago A moodily-lit, exotic and mysterious place offering crocodile or wildebeest for main, with garlic crickets on the side and scorpion for dessert.

Restaurants | Covent Garden

Circus All the world’s a stage… except at Circus, when it’s also your table.

Restaurants | Clerkenwell

Dans Le Noir Presenting the perfect place to bump into an old friend. Famed for its concept – diners eat in pitch black, while being served by blind wait.
