Restaurant Reviews

50-52 Sloane Square, Chelsea, London SW1W 8AX

Originally opened by Corbin & King and now part of The Wolseley Hospitality Group, this all day cafe restaurant on Sloane Square was inspired by some of the best Parisian grand cafes. The all day menu is a love letter to French classics from onion soup to Sole Meunière.

2 Elystan St, London SW3 3NS

This restaurant is from the same stable as Goodman and Fantomas (and also its own spin-off, Wild). Italian-inspired, it's inspired by coastal cuisine and you'll find a menu serving up an elevated combo of top drawer seafood, fresh pasta and USDA steaks.

33 Dover St, London W1S 4NF

The Dover is a Mayfair restaurant by Martin Kuczmarski, former right-hand man to Soho House's Nick Jones, aiming for understated glamour with NYC Italian-inspired cuisine. With an ambience best described as "casual but not too casual", there's a real feel of old-school Mayfair hospitality here. The menu is also welcomingly old-school with dishes including an excellent Chicken Cordon Bleu. On top of that, there's an impressive bar specializing in martinis that' it's worth visiting for alone.

12 Heddon St, London W1B 4BZ

Fonda is the second restaurant from Santiago Lastra who had such a big hit with his first restaurant Kol that it got onto the World's 50 best list. This is a slightly more casual and affordable Mexican restaurant when compared to Kol, with the menu focused around the type of home cooking the chef loves. Expect some great tacos as well as top cocktails, Palomas particularly.
