Unit 2, Commodity Quay, St Katharine Docks, London E1W 1AZ

With two neighbourhood restaurants already under their belt, the team behind Good Fortune Club decided to head into the City for their newest opening. The setting here is gorgeous, with views out over the marina at St Katharine Docks. But you're here for the food and the dim sum menu is extensive. From xiao long bao to cheung fun everything is highly impressive and there's an energy here from the front of house staff that makes this an easy recommendation. Our best tip, come with friends and give the dumpling section a really good go.

After success in Notting Hill with their vegan restaurant, Holy Carrot changed things a little for their second opening, changing the approach to vegetarian. That means the menu, once again created by ex-Acme Fire Cult's Daniel Watkins, adds the odd bit of cheese and cream to the menu. Otherwise, the similar inventive approach to plant-based cooking remains, all set within a vibey space just off Spitalfields market.

The restaurant side of The Horsemen pub in Liverpool Street, this comes from the same team who brought Sunday in Brooklyn over to London. Here in the City they've taken a mix of Irish and American influences to come up with this nicely done steakhouse. It's a tablecloth affair that's perfect for business meetings but would also make a fun place to come in the evenings or at weekends. The Irish influence is felt in dishes like beef tartare with Tayto crisps and the Wexford steaks are better than any midtown grill in NYC.

This Japanese Izakaya restaurant comes from the same people who are behind Wild as well as Goodman, the City branch of which is just opposite this restaurant. Inside here you'll find a room dominated by a huge wraparound counter dining set up and a menu that features nigiri, sashimi, temaki and maki, but also sections for deep fried dishes, skewers, gohan rice bowls and more.
