Earlier this year, we had the Top 50 Cocktails Bars, which covered the UK and now we're onto the world with the reveal of the World's 50 Best Bars. The UK does considerably better in these awards than the World's 50 Best Restaurants, taking five places on the list (the

If you're mad into your wines and looking for a good restaurant wine list to work your way through then the reveal of this week's Star Wine lists for the UK is a good starting place.

The lists, which are a celebration of the best in the world, were particularly good news for Mountain in Soho which picked up two gold stars for Best Newcomer and Best Long List along with the big prize, The Grand Prix for best

Last night in London brought another round of restaurant awards, showering praise on the city's eating establishments. This time it was the turn of the AA guide which released its annual distribution of AA rosettes.
