daterranew

Town Hall Hotel, Patriot Square, London E2 9NF

Rafael Cagali is the chef who teamed up with Singaporean hotelier Peng Loh for this Brazilian/South American and Italian influenced restaurant. It's the kind of international melting pot story that makes London's restaurant scene so great. Michelin clearly agree - they gave it a star in its first year. Tasting menus can sometimes be an ordeal, but here there's a great deal of humour, making a trip to Bethnal Green to try Da Terra's inspired dishes a must.

awongnew

70 Wilton Road, Victoria, London SW1V 1DE

Dosa

22 Hanover Square, London W1S 1JP

This is one of two restaurants that chef Akira Back has at the Mandarin Oriental in Mayfair. While his main restaurant there is in a huge dining room, this is a smaller chef's table approach, seating just 14 diners around an open kitchen. Inside here, you'll find a Korean tasting menu which "blends traditional Korean techniques with modern innovation".

Mauro Colagreco at the OWO

57 Whitehall, London SW1A 2BX

Over the years at his south of France restaurant Mirazur chef Mauro Colagreco picked up a clutch of awards from three Michelin stars to topping the World's 50 Best list.

Cornus

27 Eccleston Pl, London SW1W 9NF

Cornus brings together the team behind Medlar and a chef that won a Michelin star for Angler restaurant. Together, they've opened a very fancy rooftop restaurant overlooking Belgravia's Eccleston Yards. The food is very much high-end fine dining, with the highlight being their spaghetti with lobster and caviar. It's definitely on the spendy side, but the quality is there.
