FINE DINING RESTAURANTS
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
Inspired by the Great British gastronomic heritage, Heston Blumenthal’s first foray into London is finally open – with no Heinz in sight.
Viajante & The Corner Room
Whizz kid Nuno Mendes is taking London by storm, first with his super secretive supper clubs and now with this, his traveller’s tale-inspired restaurant at the Town Hall Hotel.
Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester
‘Cookpots’ keep the fare as rustic as the view at Alain Ducasse’s parkland inspired eatery, but with a third Michelin star to put it dead-centre on the London restaurant map.
Petrus
Gordon Ramsay regains the reigns of this legendary restaurant, restoring a modern European menu with extraordinary set prices.
The Loft Project
Intimate dinners are the name of the game in Nuno Mendes’ apartment, where guest chefs take to the table and parties are as small as the ten-course tasters.
Quo Vadis
A Soho legend reborn. Restored back to its former glory, smart and clubby with parquet flooring and gold on tan tones, whilst the food is good, well-prepared grill fare.
Angelus
Gallic gastronomy hits the pub. Take an early 19th century space, throw in some art deco fancies, and turn it into one of London’s best ‘brasserie de luxe’.
Sake No Hana
Immaculate St James Japanese. Black-clad waiting staff serve superb tempura, the finest sake and some of the freshest sashimi in the city.
Amaya
Combining the hubbub of street food with a legacy of royal banquettes, Amaya serves some of the best Indian in town.
The Wolseley
Piccadilly’s Grand Café. Whilst most will admit they don’t exactly go for the food alone, there’s no dearth of options with several menus here.
Galvin Bistrot de Luxe
Cuisine for an entente cordiale. A classic, clubby establishment with beautiful understated 30s décor, impeccable service and gutsy French cuisine.
Les Trois Garçons
Brothers in bedazzled arms. Antique curiosities, artsy hangings and a baroque sensibility that, if the food wasn’t so good, could easily act as a distraction.
Bentley’s
Swish surf & turf. An institution on the London gastro-scene, providing seafood aficionados with their daily dose of omega-3.
