Restaurant Reviews

Unit 2, 57 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8NE

This restaurant and wine bar is a team-up between ex-Elystan Street chef Aaron Potter and interior stylist, Laura Hart. In charge of the food side of things, Aaron is focusing on a Mediterranean-influenced menu while Lauran manages front of house and a wine bar that's notably good value for the area. It's all in a beautiful setting too.

1 St James's Market, St. James's, London SW1Y 4QQ

Jason Atherton has transformed the building that used to hold Aquavit into an opulent restaurant and bar. The restaurant is inspired by British dishes and seasonality, with standout dishes including a marmite custard tart with caviar. Upstairs you'll find a hidden away cocktail bar called Apples and Pears with Atherton's customarily excellent cocktails on offer.

National Portrait Gallery, St Martin’s Pl, London WC2H 0HE

Right at the top of the revamped National Portrait Gallery, this is the main restaurant with excellent views across London. In charge of the food is top Irish chef Richard Corrigan (Bentley's) who has brought with him a modern approach to European cooking with plenty of seafood on offer too.

37 Bedford Street, London WC2E 9EN

Thirty7 comes from the Oystermen (Matt Lovell & Rob Hampton), and is just around the corner from their first Covent Garden restaurant. They describe the restaurant as a neighbourhood restaurant and bar which goes beyond the seafood focus of before (although you will find oysters on the menu). Make sure to have the cheddar beignets and also pop down to the excellent bar downstairs.
