1 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London W1U 7PA

Andre Balazs boutique London hotel has been a hit ever since it opened and the restaurant attracts both celebrities and foodies alike. Grab a seat at the counter and try not to gawp at who's on the prime private table next door. In warmer months, the secluded terrace (with its own oyster shack) is a huge draw too.

105-107 Talbot Road, London W11 2AT

Notting Hill's Dorian has become one of the most popular restaurants in the area and much of that is down to their head chef, Max Cohen, previously at Ikoyi and Kitchen Table. Owned by Chris D'Sylva (Notting Hill Fish + Meat Shop), and billed as a "bistro for locals" they have a seasonal British/European menu on offer and a notably great wine list.

43 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London W1U 6LS

Mayha's original opening was in Beirut, a somewhat surprising way for a Japanese omakase restaurant to arrive in London. Here it's a two floored affair with the ground floor serving a long omakase menu. Downstairs, you'll find a standalone bar which is also worth a visit.

11 Old Jewry, London EC2R 8DU

One of London’s best steak restaurants, this City outlet of the Goodman restaurant group is popular with business diners. The meat is dry-aged on-site, and regular diners even have theirs cut to order. There’s a private dining room seating up to 10, for serious steak meetings.
