This clean-cut restaurant/bar opened with a cut-throat attitude to pricing that's bound to win it plenty of punters, attracted by the idea of four small plates (or British tapas) for a tenner. Worth checking out particularly in summer for its dining room with retracting sunroof.

A culinary landmark when it opened 25 years ago, the revamp of the Bombay Brasserie had won mixed reviews from critics and diners alike. Certainly the charm of the place remains undimmed, but the new OTT decor and gargantuan bills left a bad taste in the mouth. Better stick to the fantastic value of the restaurant's famed Sunday buffet.
