129-131 Brackenbury Rd, London W6 0BQ

This old favourite is now under the ownership of Ossie Gray, who used to be the General Manager of River Cafe. They're "cooking the food we love based on our experience of regional French & Italian with some other Mediterranean influences as well."

21 St Swithins Lane, City of London, EC4N 8AD

This is a new restaurant from the people behind Bleeding Heart and The Don. Expect a menu of modern British dishes with an occasional nod to the site's Spanish and Portuguese heritage, with a a big focus on wine which you'll be able to select using fancy LCD screens.

20 Kensington Church Street, London W8 4EP

By day, this restaurant will look for the world to be a basic hot dog kiosk serving up one classic Yankee dog (served with yellow mustard, red ketchup and spring onions). At night a hidden door to the restaurant downstairs is opened, where they'll be serving up an extended hot dog list and also the 'bones' part of the menu (Boston ribeye steak and more) plus what looks to be a great cocktail list.

Monday – Saturday 11:30 – 23:00

On the Bab - which translates as served 'on the rice' - is East London's first anju restaurant (which according to Wikipedia is the traditional Korean cuisine of consuming food with alcohol, so it's got our vote) offering Korean sharing dishes - and a rather lethal-sounding cocktail list. The 30 seater restaurant won't take reservations and will be open every day for lunch and dinner.
