Restaurant Reviews

37 Sloane Square, London SW1W 8AN

Martino’s is from the team behind The Dover, and it’s an all-day Italian restaurant with lots of nods to 1950s and ’60s trattorias, but within a modern setting. It's an all-day restaurant kicking off at breakfast with dishes in the evening including dishes like beef carpaccio, short rib ragù tagliatelle, meatballs zupetta and a standout lasagna verde alla Bolognese. Very handy for the tube, there's also an excellent bar here.

18-22 Holbein Place, London SW1W 8NL

Corenucopia is chef Clare Smyth's spin-off Chelsea restaurant from her three-Michelin-starred Core. This is a little more casual, but not too much as it's still billed as a "luxury bistro". Expect Smyth's unique take on classic British dishes, like fish & chips, but with a very upscale approach.

25-27 Tryon Street, Chelsea, London SW3 3LG

This is Tom Kerridge's Chelsea pub, just a minute off the King's Road. Part pub, part restaurant (with downstairs reserved completely for dining) the pub is now more closely connected with his flagship place, The Hand and Flowers. Its chefs revitalised the menu here, adding a few Hand and Flowers signatures (like the amazing parfait) to a menu that can be considered a mid-high-range gastropub experience.

45 Jermyn St., London SW1 6DN

A popular St James haunt (and adjacent to Fortnums), this is always busy with a crowd that appreciates its super seasonal menu using the best of British produce. Enjoy the luxury of tableside service including a caviar trolley and the beef Wellington with sauce that’s flambeed right beside you.
