Restaurant Reviews

103-105 New Oxford Street, London WC2H 8LH

This is from JKS, the people behind Gymkhana, Hoppers, Lyles and more. It sees a collection of top food vendors under one roof with probably the hottest table being Plaza Khao Gaeng from chef Luke Farrell. Besides that, there's Shawarma, sandwiches from Margot and Hector Henderson, burgers and more.

22 Grosvenor Square, London W1K 6LF

The Twenty Two is headed up by MD Darius Namdar who was one of the people behind the launch of Chiltern Firehouse and it certainly seems like he's brought some of that glamour to Mayfair. The buzzy restaurant also has top food credentials too, with ex Picture chefs Alan Christie and Colin Kelly in charge of the food.

54 Lamb’s Conduit Street, Bloomsbury, London WC1N 3LW

This much-loved restaurant comes from Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich. Originally in Fitzrovia, this Bloomsbury location is a much larger space. The restaurant specialises in Middle Eastern cuisine and even with extra room, it's always worth booking ahead to ensure you get a table.

11-13 Abingdon Road, London W8 6AH

This is a joint venture between top chef Philip Howard, best known for Elystan Street, and his business partner Rebecca Mascarenhas. The chef here is Mark Kempson, who worked with Howard at The Square. This has slowly become a Kensington institution, a laid-back neighbourhood restaurant, but one that has a Michelin star.
