Restaurant Reviews

3-5 Great Scotland Yard, London SW1A 2HN

If you aren’t headed to Sweden any time soon then a visit here to Michelin-starred chef Niklas Ekstedt's only restaurant outside Stockholm is a must. Here it’s all about using live-fire cooking, applying Swedish techniques to the best of British produce. That might translate to dishes like a Tunworth cheese cooked in a wood-fired oven and served with smoked honey.

4 Greycoat Pl, London SW1P 1SB

Set in the Grade II listed Edwardian Westminster fire station, Yaatra is a modern Indian restaurant
Executive chef Amit Bagyal worked with Atul Kochhar for years at both Kanishka Mayfair and Benares. Menus are created in a way to give you a tasting tour of the Indian subcontinent. The purple carrot & kohlrabi koftar is a signature dish.

77 Wigmore St, Marylebone, London W1U 1QE

This is the sibling of one of Soho's most popular restaurants (and from the same people as Gymkhana). As with the Soho Hoppers, there's a big focus on hoppers and dosas and larger Sri Lankan and South Indian dishes alongside those, all set within a much larger space.

Level 3, 122 Leadenhall St, London EC3V 4AB

Infamous for its ‘press for Champagne’ button at every table, this London institution is great for groups (the largest booth size seats eight but up to 18 can dine comfortably in their private dining rooms). Menu-wise, expect reinventions of classic European dishes.
