62 Goodge Street, London W1T 4NE

Once known as Barrica, this is now the Fitzrovia outpost of Spanish tapas bar Copita, owned by former wine shipper Tim Luther. This tapas spot has been fairly quietly building a loyal audience in London's media heartland for its standout tapas and excellent sherry list.

37 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8NE

This new gastropub comes from the owners of previously lauded gastropubs The Thomas Cubitt and The Pantechnicon. This is their first pub with rooms in Pimlico. There's a wood-fired oven for pizzas and roasts and 4 en-suite bedrooms.

115 Westbourne Grove, London W2 4UP

El Pirata Detapas is a younger offshoot of a long-established Mayfair tapas restaurant. Reviews so far have been good, but best of all is their set lunch menu deal - with two tapas, bread, alioli and a glass of wine or sherry for just £9. Now that's a bargain.

69 - 71 Dean Street, London W1D 3SE

Part of Nick Jones' Soho House empire, this is a hotel and restaurant space in Dean Street. This 'glorious cream Georgian building, originally home to the Gargolye Club' (their words), has 41 bedrooms alongside a traditional English dining room, seating 120. The all-day menu includes British favourites as well as afternoon tea, weekend brunch and weekly Sunday roast.
