Restaurant Reviews

55 Aldwych, London WC2B 4BB

Originally launched by Corbin and King, this huge restaurant was designed by the late David Collins. It's inspired by the grand cafdes of Europe and if you're just passing, it's also worth grabbing a snack at the Delaunay Counter.

227 King Street, London W6 9JT

When the hugely popular pub The Engineer was taken over in Primrose Hill and destined to transform into a chain pub, the locals were up in arms. Primrose Hill's loss has been Hammersmith's gain as the team behind the Engineer has relocated to King Street. Expect well sourced British food, as well as larder products on the bar and a large range of biodynamic wines and real ales.

58 St Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4EA

This is the first West End gastropub from Tom and Ed Martin, the brothers behind the Botanist and loads more throughout London. On St Martin's Lane, this has 60 covers spread over two floors, with the ground floor being a traditional pub whilst the first floor is an informal dining area, serving seasonal British produce.

50a Berkeley Street, Mayfair, London W1J 8HA

Russian restaurateur Arkady Novikov has launched three restaurants in one on this Berkeley site - a restaurant serving Asian seafood, another serving an Italian menu and a 'Far Eastern-themed bar'. Novikov owns a multi-million dollar restaurant empire in Moscow so expect plenty of bling. The chef for the Italian room Stefano Stecca comes via Zafferano and the Brunello restaurant at the Baglioni hotel in Kensington.
