20 Arlington St, St. James's, London SW1A 1RJ

Taking over the site that was once Le Caprice, Jeremy King's Arlington is Le Caprice 2.0 in all but name. It's the restaurant that launched King's career and it launched his own restaurant group too. Expect a look that harkens back to the classic Le Caprice but shiny and up to date as well as some of the classic dishes from the original, like the iced berries in white chocolate sauce. It's a great place for a star-spot too.

202 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2RH

Wild is a Mediterranean restaurant in Notting Hill that's something of a spin-off of the original Wild Tavern in Chelsea, offering a chic dining experience that suits the area very well. The menu features top-quality ingredients, such as red Sicilian prawns and Spanish bluefin tuna tartare alongside fresh pasta dishes. It's popular with west London celebs too, so you might spot an A-lister here.

Named after the Vietnamese word for ‘Cheers!’ this casual spot features a menu that takes in most of the classic dishes you’d expect to find in any good Vietnamese restaurant from summer rolls to noodle rolls. They also make a big deal of their regularly changing seasonal specials.
