Unit 7, The white building, 1st Floor,c/o CRATE Bar, Queen's Yard, London E9 5EN

This East London restaurant from Douglas McMaster is at the forefront of no-waste cooking (and restaurants) in London. McMaster has been involved in the no-waste initiative from the early days and has created a restaurant that both embraces the movement fully and showcases the excellent food that a no waste ethos can produce.

Pergola on the Wharf comes from the same people behind Pergola Paddington, The Prince and more. The decor is super floral, and although the focus is on drinks the menu features plenty of small bites such as truffle arancini and Peruvian chilli chicken skewers.

4 Dirty Lane, London SE1 9PA

This Spanish Grill restaurant is a spin-off from Barrafina (indeed there's a Borough Barrafina just next door). Here, there's a big focus on grilled meat and fish and a big alfresco space. Plus, if you're outside, you'll get the chance to grill your own dinner on their tabletop grills.

51 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8NE

Hunan is rated as one of London's best Chinese restaurants, loved by chefs and critics alike. It's a "no menu" restaurant where you're served about 12-18 courses. As the name suggests, you can expect Hunanese cooking here - so there's going to be plenty of heat, but you can also warn them just how much heat you can take. After that - you're in their hands.
