Restaurant Reviews

101-111 Kensington High Street, London W8 5SA

Former Engawa chef Akira Shimizu is opening his own robatayaki and sushi restaurant in Japan's new cultural centre, Japan House on Kensington High Street.

Corinthia Hotel, Whitehall Pl, Westminster, London SW1A 2BD

His Buckinghamshire pub was the first pub to win two Michelin stars and this was top TV chef Tom Kerridge's first restaurant in London (and remains his signature restaurant in the city). As the name gives away, grilling is a big deal here with regularly changing steak cuts alongside dishes like his venison bun.

240 St John St, Clerkenwell, London EC1V 4PH

This Clerkenwell pub has a long history in Clerkenwell and may only be second in line to The Eagle when it comes to pubs that went "gastro". Settle in downstairs for more traditional pub fare, or head to the upstairs restaurant if you're after something a little more fancy.

32 Southwark Street, London SE1 1TU

Successfully luring Londoners away from Nando's, this Algarvian restaurant is cooking its chicken on a wood fired grill. Oh, and there's also a secret bar worth checking out.
