ME by Melia Hotel, 336-337 The Strand, WC2R 1HA

This new hotel designed by (Norman) Foster + Partners takes over the old BBC Marconi building. As well as a rooftop bar offering great views of London, it's the first non-US outpost of New York steakhouse STK, which has taken over the ground floor restaurant. STK aims to be a more "female friendly" steakhouse, with an emphasis on lighter meals.

Tozi is a bustling Venetian restaurant in Victoria focusing on cicchetti, so think Italian small dishes. To go with those, there are cocktails, Prosecco on tap and the space is arranged with plenty of sharing tables around an open kitchen.
