Restaurant Reviews

St Pancras, Euston Rd., London NW1 2AR

This Hawksmoor does what the oether do best, great steaks and more, excellent cocktails and a winderful vibe throughout. It also ups the game by being in one of London's most beautiful dining rooms. Plus, there's a separate bar called The Martini Bar which is almost worth the trip alone.

37 Sloane Square, London SW1W 8AN

Martino’s is from the team behind The Dover, and it’s an all-day Italian restaurant with lots of nods to 1950s and ’60s trattorias, but within a modern setting. It's an all-day restaurant kicking off at breakfast with dishes in the evening including dishes like beef carpaccio, short rib ragù tagliatelle, meatballs zupetta and a standout lasagna verde alla Bolognese. Very handy for the tube, there's also an excellent bar here.

8 Balderton St, Brown Hart Gardens, London W1K 6TF

Rosi is the main restaurant inside The Beaumont in Mayfair, led by top chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen (who also runs Northcote). The restaurant here is all about British dining, with classics like pork pies and suet pudding on the menu. There's also a big focus on tableside theatre, with a fair bit of flambeeing and the build-your-own sundae is always a big draw.

36 Maiden Lane, London WC2E 7LJ

The team behind Kolamba are also behind ADOH!, a casual Sri Lankan street food restaurant. Named after a Sri Lankan expression of surprise, it focuses on kothu, chopped roti with vegetables, eggs and curry sauce, which is served with crab, chicken, mutton or jackfruit. Other dishes include chilli prawn toast, fried chicken with curry leaf waffle and seafood fried rice, with salted jaggery soft serve for dessert.
