41-43 Mount St, London W1K 2RX

This Mayfair restaurant comes from the people behind art gallery group Hauser & Wirth and is part of a building that also includes their own pub below. This upstairs restaurant is very much an upmarket affair, featuring a menu of classic British dishes (with a modern take) in a room covered in artwork that includes a stunning mosaic floor.

Alex Dilling (previously at The Greenhouse) is in charge of the main restaurant at Hotel Cafe Royal. He's only serving 34 diners and they're getting an exemplary tasting menu that's all based around a contemporary take on French cuisine. This gives the hotel the destination restaurant that such an iconic London building truly deserved.

This comes from Samyukta Nair, the restaurateur behind hits like Jamavar and Mimi Mei Fair. This time, there are two restaurants in one. Upstairs, it's all about Japanese food including sushi and a robata grill. Downstairs you'll find Koyn Thai, a high-end Thai restaurant with a fair bit of fire used in the cooking.

56b South Molton Street, London W1K 5SH

Tucked down an alleyway off South Moulton Street, this new omakase restaurant from the owners of next-door Chisou feels like a secret discovery. There are just 10 seats, so everyone gets a ringside view of the kitchen action by husband and wife team of Tamas Naszai and Tomoko Hasegawa (both ex-Tokimeitē). Faultless sushi and sashimi follows with a menu that changes daily.
