36 Albemarle St, London W1S 4JE

Chef Takuya Watanabe left Paris for London to open Taku and it's paid off in style. His Mayfair omakase restaurant has just 16 seats with chef Taku serving up a regularly changing menu based on the best produce available.

198-200 Piccadilly, London W1J 9EZ

Notto sees top chef Phil Howard opening a fresh pasta restaurant on Piccadilly. More affordable than his previous restaurants, like Elystan Street, you can expect an Italian menu (and Italian cocktails) and his own takes on pasta, created together with chef Louis Korovilas.

Connaught House, 1-3 Mount Street, London W1K 3NB

This restaurant from Richard Caring (Scott's, Caprice) isn't doing anything by halves, as the name might suggest. From the moment you enter, you'll be met by a room dominated by galloping unicorns. That's all matched with a Greek-influenced menu, but it's the whole scene which is the real draw here.

82 Duke Street, London W1K 6JG

This Mayfair pub is now owened by the Cubitt House group who have given it a complete makeover, as well as completely relaunching the restaurant upstairs (which has been designed with a Mayfair clubby vibe). In charge of the food is chef Ben Tish and the menu here "takes its inspiration from Britain with a little bit of France."
