27 Albemarle Street, Mayfair, London W1S 4HZ

This high-end Itlaian restaurant comes from the same people behind Coya, Amazonico and Bar des Pres. It's taken southern Italy as the inspiration in a restaurant that's made of a warren of rooms and bars. The room with the retractable glass roof will be a hit on warm days, while their veal tomahawk Milanese is a must.

36 Duke Street, St James's, London SW1Y 6DF

Paying homage to the grand brasseries of Paris and Lyon, Maison Francois quickly made a name for itself in St James when it opened in 2020. Downstairs there’s a huge wine cellar that’s a perfect private dining room and the basement bar, Frank’s, is a handy spot for a glass of wine post-work.

45 Jermyn St., London SW1 6DN

A popular St James haunt (and adjacent to Fortnums), this is always busy with a crowd that appreciates its super seasonal menu using the best of British produce. Enjoy the luxury of tableside service including a caviar trolley and the beef Wellington with sauce that’s flambeed right beside you.

150 Piccadilly, London W1J 9BR

One of London’s most elaborate dining rooms, the food here by the well-respected executive chef John Williams more than matches its surroundings. Here is a restaurant where you can expect domes to be lifted off dishes like veal cheek blanquette with white asparagus and Madeira. For sheer theatricality, order the crepes Suzette which are finished off in front of you.
