Restaurant Reviews

10 Seymour Place, London W1H 5DB

Donostia serves up Basque-style tapas and pintxos in this Marylebone restaurant (the sibling restaurant of Lurra, across the road). Here you'll find top pintxos, perfectly done tortilla, plenty of txakoli and more Basque delights.

Cranbourn Street, Leicester Square, London WC2H 7JH

The Heliot Lounge Bar and Restaurant is on a balcony overlooking the revamped casino floor and is going for a West End brasserie vibe.

20 Sherwood Street, London W1F 7ED

Messrs Corbin & King's subterranean palace is a truly egalitarian establishment. The original hotel here aimed to "to make the luxuries usually available to the very rich open to the less well-off". In its current incarnation this huge restaurant does the same - offering starters at pre-decimalisation prices as well as one of the best prix fixe deals in town. Just off Piccadilly Circus, swanning down the stairs here always feels special - don't leave without ordering the singular Îles flottantes.

80 Liverpool Road, London N1 0QD

This is the third gastropub from the people behind the Lady Ottoline and the Princess of Shoreditch. It's taken over the place of the former Islington Tap and will be making rustic food with freshly sourced meat and fish while making plenty use of its wood-fired oven. In the kitchen is Swedish chef Robbin Holmgren whose had stints at St John and St John Bread & Wine and has also run supperclubs with the Clove Club (who now co-run the Ten Bells).
