Restaurant Reviews

18 Hillgate St, Kensington, London W8 7SR

An open charcoal grill is at the heart of this Greek bistro, from the people behind nearby Mazi. There's a focus on northern Greek cuisine and Thessaloniki in particular.

If you know your chia seeds from your raw cacao nibs, this is one for you. Farm Girl, is a mecca for uber-health conscious Londoners, and this was their first outpost in London. Expect coconut BLTs, gluten-free doughnuts, smoothies and more.

4 Blenheim St, London W1S 1LB

A top Japanese izakaya in Mayfair - if you're looking for excellent sushi without the Mayfair prices, this is the place you come. Chef Takamasa Mogi was previously at Nobu and goes big on omakase where you let him choose what to feed you.

18 Bruton Pl, Mayfair, London W1J 6LY

The kind of restaurant you're as likely to find yourself sitting next to royalty (it was a favourite of The Queen) as you are a Cork Street art dealer. Run by the ebullient Gavin Rankin and tucked away in a mews off Berkeley Square, it looks like it's been here forever rather than being there just a couple of decades. Make sure to have one of their great matinis in the bar while you're there.
