[h2][link url="https://noblerot.co.uk/"]Noble Rot[/link][/h2] A Bloomsbury institution on Lamb’s Conduit Street, Noble Rot leads with wine and follows with food.

It is so popular, the team is opening a new location in Soho later this year. Stay tuned. - [i]CMH[/i] [i

[h2][link url="https://www.hopperslondon.com/"]Hoppers[/link][/h2] Sri Lankan cuisine is gaining in popularity in London, with new restaurants springing up across the city. Hoppers is one of the first, and best, to bring complex curries, traditional hoppers and dosas and fragrant green peppercorn chicken wings to the capital. There are now three locations – Soho, Marylebone and King’s Cross – all with equally inviting interiors and people clamouring for a table. - [i]CMH[/i] [i]49 Frith St, Soh

[h2][link url="https://gymkhanalondon.com/"]Gymkhana[/link][/h2] Having had a fire in the building, Gymkhana reopened its (refurbished and extremely stylish) doors to clamouring diners earlier this year, only to have to shut again for the pandemic. This Michelin-starred Indian restaurant celebrates the very best of Asian cooking, with richly spiced dishes, impeccable service and an impressive wine list. The food can be fiery and a starter of IndoChinese halibut is not for the faint-hearted, whil

[h2][link url="https://pastaio.co.uk/"]Pastaio[/link][/h2] Londoners cannot get enough pasta these days and Pastaio is a favourite, reliable and fun haunt to get a fix. The terrazzo marble communal seating, bright tiles and eye-catching murals in the two sites show that as much care has gone into the stylish decoration as the ingredients. The chefs hand roll and cut fresh pasta in the window pre-service, serving it with seasonal toppings; the slow-cooked sausage sauce is a year-round winner and

[h2][link url="https://silolondon.com/"]Silo[/link][/h2] Doug McMaster’s zero-waste restaurant concept [link url="https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/article/silo-restaurant-review"]Silo[/link], where he served food on plates made from unrecyclable plastic bags, was so popular in Brighton that, last year, he moved it to Hackney Wick.

[h2][link url="https://www.ikedarestaurant.com/"]Ikeda[/link][/h2] This old school Japanese restaurant in Mayfair has notched up the years and many loyal customers. It serves traditional dishes – such as spinach with sesame dressing or agedashi tofu, as well as sushi, noodles and tempura – from a quiet, open kitchen. There is kitchen-counter seating for those who wish to see the chefs at work, or more formal tables for a serious meal. - [i]BV[/i] [i]30 Brook Street, Mayfair, London W1K 5DJ[/i]

[h2][link url="https://www.bratrestaurant.com/"]Brat[/link][/h2] Since Brat opened in 2018, Tomos Parry’s whole grilled turbot and Basque-inspired dishes (the burnt cheesecake is legendary) have put this Shoreditch restaurant firmly on the foodie map. Meat, fish and game are cooked over fire, and you will find plenty of seaweed, samphire and laverbread, too – a nod to Tomos’s Welsh roots. The first-floor dining room is large and busy, but fortunately you can book ahead. - [i]BV[/i] [i]4 Redchur

[h2][link url="https://www.bibirestaurants.com/"]BiBi[/link][/h2] There are two sides to BiBi, the new Mayfair restaurant by Chet Sharma; sit on a table or banquette and it's a warm, welcoming atmosphere or sit at the bar and you can delight in watching the chefs expertly cook and plate the array of Indian dishes on offer.

Perhaps it’s the slightly more formal but cool atmosphere, or the smart interiors. Whatever the reason, it’s a restaurant to repeat-book for silky pasta and lashings of punchy sauce, not to mention lip-smackingly tasty small plates. A perennial favourit

His short, daily changing menu celebrates the French classics in a relaxed, bohemian atmosphere. Neil’s execution of oysters mignonette or lamb navarin, madeleines and Paris-Brest show superlative skill, with no fuss or pomp, just Proustian recollections of pure enjoyment. - [i]BV[/i] [i]49 Dean St, Soho, London
