Restaurant Reviews

6 Clarges Street, London W1J 8AE

This Mayfair restaurant is inspired by the legacy of the late and hugely influential French chef Joel Robuchon. Originally called Le Comptoir, it was renamed in honour of the chef's most famous restaurant. It takes influence from both Western and Eastern cooking, but if his famously buttery pommes puree are on the menu, they're not to be missed.

159 Farringdon Rd, Farringdon, London EC1R 3AL

The Eagle in Clerkenwell is often credited as the first modern gastropub - with restaurant-quality food being served inside a pub. Many years down the line, it's still a reliable spot for a good meal, serving up a seasonal menu in a faintly ramshackle pub. The steak sandwiches are some of the best in town.

Hyde Park Corner, London SW1X 7TA

With the arrival of chef Shay Cooper, this most glamorous of hotel dining rooms now has a chef worthy of the frankly jaw-droppingly beautiful space. Since his arrival, Shay has refined the grill's menu. Expect an ultra seasonal offering focusing on the best suppliers around the British Isles with a few signature dishes like the Coronation crab salad.

32 Exmouth Market, London EC1R 4QL

Moro has long been one of London foodie's favourite restaurants - think of this as Sam and Sam Clark's sibling tapas bar to the original - serving up super small plates with ice-cold glasses of fino.
