35 Heddon Street, London W1B 4BR

Run by the double act of chef Nieves Barragán and GM Josè Etura, Sabor is the kind of restaurant everyone wants to try, and once they've been are immediately plotting a return visit. It's a restaurant of two halves with the Asador on the upper level and counter dining by the open kitchen on the ground floor. Obviously, you're going to want the croquetas, but everything else will be great as well.

19 Motcomb St, London SW1X 8LB

Part of the reworking of the Pantechnicon building included getting rid of their retail operation and replacing it with this gorgeous-looking Provencal restaurant with an ex-Annabel’s and Arts Club chef in the kitchen. Dishes plunder the Mediterranean coast for inspiration but the must-have dish is the crab toast with tomato and caviar.

5 Savile Row, London W1S 3PB

This is Jason Atherton's flagship restaurant on Savile Row, where he’s hoping for three-star Michelin recognition. Split across two floors, which you move between over the course of the meal, this is unlike anything in town. Chef Spencer Metzer (ex-The Ritz) is the man in the kitchen making the magic happen - expect culinary fireworks across a multi-course tasting menu.

43 Curzon Street, London W1J 7UF

Pinna comes from the same restaurant group as Wild Tavern, and it's that restaurant's chef, Achille Pinna, who's in charge of this Mayfair Sardininian restaurant. He's in charge of an Italian menu that takes its cues from his own heritage, which they have described as "Sardinia on a plate".
