Restaurant Reviews

15 Langham Pl, Marylebone, London W1B 3DE

Part of The Langham hotel, this is run by Michel Roux but it's much more like a standalone gastropub - and as such is one of the handiest drinking dens in the area. That said, the food is well worth a look too - the pies and masala scotch egg particularly.

Bloomberg Arcade, 3 Queen Street, London, EC4N 8BN

One of the best Indian restaurants in The City, Brigadiers is from the same people behind Trishna, Hoppers and Gymkhana. It has a maze of rooms in the largest space in the Bloomberg Arcade, with a sizeable outdoor terrace too. Fans of smoky Indian barbecue will be particularly impressed.

56 James St, London W1U 1HF

Like all of BAO's London restaurants, this Marylebone outposts features their excellent Taiwanese steamed buns, with the signature Classic pork bao being a must. The added extra at this restaurant is that they also specialise in xiao chi snacks and small plates, with the lamb or mushroom dumplings well worth trying alongside the baos.

19-21 Blandford Street, London W1U 3DH

Ravinder Bhogal is probably best known for her articles, books and TV appearances - as well as a series of successful residencies. This is her first restaurant, taking its influences from Britain, East Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
