Restaurant Reviews

30 Grosvenor Sq, London W1K 6AN

After being a hit in the Harrods Dining Hall, this sees top sushi chef Masayoshi Takayama opening his own London restaurant, inside the Chancery Rosewood hotel. Expect a very high-end approach to sushi with the chef's signature toro tartare caviar being the main draw.

Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, 22 Hanover Square, London W1S 1JP

Originally launched with Akira Back, this high-end Korean restaurant kept the same chef, but reinvented the restaurant as his own creation. Set around an impressive chef's table inside the Mandarin Oriental in Mayfair, they serve up a tasting menu that blends traditional Korean techniques with modern precision.

314 Regent Street, London W1B 2QS

Ronnie's comes from high-end clothing brand Kith (it's named after the founder) and it's their first-ever restaurant worldwide. Opened as part of their huge London store, it's styled after a New York bistro and acts as a standalone restaurant, as well as having a bar that's very useful in this part of Fitzrovia. Make sure to also pop into their Treats Bar for some soft-serve after a meal here.

1 Mercer Walk, London

This is the official home of Guinness in London, and there's a lot to it. Here you'll find two restaurants, a few bars, shops and lots of options for touring the brewery itself. Heading up the food side of things is pip Lacey (previously Hicce), who runs Old Brewer's Yard on the ground floor and the seafood-focused Gilroy's Loft up on the top. Obviously, they'll pour a great pint of Guinness and you shuold also look out for the pies that have been created by pie-master Calum Franklin.
