10-14 Lonsdale Road, London NW6 6RD

This Queen's Park restaurant (on the very foodie Lonsdale Street) comes from one of the founders of Coco du Mama and here he's launched a combo bakery and neighbourhood restaurant. The bakery has proven hugely popular and that leads through to a vibey restaurant with a prominent open kitchen serving up warming cassoulets and more.

Originally the seafood-centric Orasay, Jackson Boxer reinvented this restaurant as Dove, a neighbourhood restaurant that serves what he describes as "elevated comfort food". The look and feel is similar to its previous guise and the cooking remains on top form as ever. The menu changes regularly and it's probably become best known for an off-menu dish, its amazing burger. They only make ten of them every day, so order early if you want one.

Victor Garvey's Soho restaurant looks towards Californian fine-dining restaurants for its inspiration. So there's a West Coast USA vibe to the restaurant, fitted into its Soho location.

36-40 Rupert St, London W1D 6DL

Asma Khan's restaurant is now in its third location, a much bigger two-floored affair in Soho. The focus remains the same as ever with the menu featuring a mix of Bengali, Hyderabadi, and Kolkatan cuisine, all delivered by an all-female kitchen. If you manage to get your hands on a ticket, the biryani supper club events are still the biggest draw.
