Restaurant Reviews

The OWO. 7 Horse Guards Ave, London SW1A 2EX

Endo Kazutoshi, who also runs Sumi and his signature restaurant Endo at Rotunda, is behind this extensive Japanese restaurant at the top of The OWO in Whitehall. Here he's created a menu that has more European Influences than his other places, while boasting a great roof terrace that looks over some of London's most iconic buildings. Make sure to also pop into the excellent Kioku Bar on the ground floor for cocktails and sake.

123 Bayswater Rd, London W2 3JH

The Park is billed as a New World grand cafe and this restaurant from Jeremy King moves outside of his traditional European grand cafe comfort zone. Here, both the food and wine are influenced by the west coast of America and there's also a feel of mid-20th Century US glamour here too. Expect a wide range of food that includes everything from huge pies to seafood pasta with both US and European-influenced dishes appearing and a great cocktail list.

The Old Westminster Library, Great Smith St, London SW1P 3BU

Chef and restaurateur Vivek Singh’s fine-dining Indian restaurant has long been a Westminster institution. Housed in a gorgeous Grade II listed building it’s the perfect place for a business lunch or dinner. Game and seafood are a speciality and if things are going particularly well you might want to call the gin trolley over.

22 Palmer St, London SW1H 0PH

For an old-school Lyon bouchon experience look no further than Chez Antoinette. Owner Aurelia took inspiration from her grandmother’s cooking. So we're talking croque monsieur, French onion soup and chicken cordon bleu on the menu. Both this restaurant and the other branch in Covent Garden are packed with furniture, curios and art sourced from France.
