115 Westbourne Grove, London W2 4UP

El Pirata Detapas is a younger offshoot of a long-established Mayfair tapas restaurant. Reviews so far have been good, but best of all is their set lunch menu deal - with two tapas, bread, alioli and a glass of wine or sherry for just £9. Now that's a bargain.

More French perfection from the Peter Prescott and Terence Conran partnership. There's a charcuterie counter, sushi bar, members club and private rooms. Head chef David Burke comes via Bibendum and Pont de la Tour. Oh, and Samuel Pepys was born here.

International Japanese restaurant Roka’s first London opening in Charlotte Street was a huge hit, and this second London restaurant is at the Churchill Place Mall. It includes a Sochu lounge and is the first Roka to feature a Robata chef’s table. According to owner Rainer Becker, the new Roka's design is 'like a baby Zuma'. Yoshi Muranka is head chef.
