POPULAR RESTAURANTS & HOTSPOTS
Circus
The city’s newest eatery-cum-performance art venue cracks the whip on boring dinner service with Tom Dixon interiors and fire-breathing ballerinas.
Bocca di Lupo
Soho’s newest Italian idol. Chef Jacob Kenedy’s perfectly rustic, untampered Italian dishes to take in stages.
The Albion
Homestyle caff with extra sauce. Take the best elements of a traditional greasy spoon, take out the grime and replace it with style, and you’ve got this place.
Bistrotheque
A bit arty, a bit industrial, but verrrrry fashion dahling. But despite its luvvy sensibilities, it’s open and welcoming no matter what label you’re touting.
Hix Oyster & Chop House
Cattle & Crustacea. A fuss-free selection of surf and turf, sourcing the best oysters and the finest cuts of meat from neighbouring Smithfield Meat Market.
Tom’s Kitchen
The organic yummy mummy’s favourite. Aitken’s attempt at back-to-basics hits the mark, even if it’s largely lost on the designer-clad clientele.
Saki
With a shop on the ground, and a sexy subterranean restaurant and bar below, Saki sets out to prove that sushi isn’t just for cold fish.
Rivington Bar & Grill
Whitewashed walls and stripped wooden floors make a nice background to the seasonal menu of regional delights. Simple food for complicated people.
Automat
Could I have my burger sans fat ploise? Fashionistas and the men who like to feed them filling up at this Mayfair eatery styled as an American diner.
Balans
Serving a varied menu of favourites, you’re sure to find something to satisfy. If not, the waiters are foreign, charming, and best of all, awake until 6.
Hakkasan
Yau’s Shanghai show-horse serving highly stylised Chinese dishes to a high-rolling clientele of celebrities, dignitaries, and the odd Arab sheik.
Club Bar & Dining
Alcohol - love your enemy. Popular with suits and the sharper side of the Soho media crowd who come for the tapas tasters and seasonal specials.
Royal China
Buzzing Chinese with the local vote. Decked out in black lacquer and gold filigree, people file in for the amazing Dim Sum.
Gilgamesh
1001 Arabian nights. Multi-story megalith situated incongruously in the middle of Camden’s bustling markets with something for everyone.
