1st Floor, 1.7 Kingly Court, London W1B 5PW

This all day diner will offer all the things that were a hit at Bea's Diner in Maltby Street - including Bea's new signature ‘Onion Blossom’ - a large onion which is cut to resemble a flower, battered in special spices and deep-fried.

The rise of Holborn Dining Room's fortunes is mainly down to the work of their former head chef, Calum Franklin, who made their pies some of the best in London (and also created the Pie Room). Now in charge is chef Liam Fauchard-Newman and while the whole menu deserves praise, you really need to aim for anything pie-related on the menu (there's always a special pie section).

50 Frith Street, London W1D 4SQ

Koya Soho may only seats 25 people but it has a huge reputation that belies its size. Here you'll enjoy some of the best Japanese udon noodles in town here - and there's a great breakfast if you're after a top way to start the day.

Mikael Jonsson wowed many with his first restaurant, Hedone, but being all the way out west in Chiswick and being rather spendy it was never going to be everyone's cup of tea. Jonsson is one of the partners in this wine bar in the middle of Soho which means whatever you drink, you must also order some bread to go with it.
