Yesterday, restaurateur Stevie Parle (Palatino, Rotorino, Pastaio) took to Twitter to ask a great question.
What’s the best restaurant in london to be a regular at?
— Stevie Parle (@StevieParle) February 1, 2018
He went on to elaborate; "A place that really looks after its regulars, food you can eat at least once a week and service that gives a shit. Like river caff but not west and not only for billionaire. It’s just I’m thinking of, you know, becoming one somewhere."
Parle got loads of great replies and a distinct theme began to emerge. Messrs Corbin and King did particularly well, with callouts for The Wolseley, Colbert and - in particular - Zedel. We've picked out the key restaurants that folk recommended.
Brasserie Zedel
20 Sherwood St, Soho, London W1F 7ED
It's interesting that a lot of the booking/reservations tech should enable staff to welcome regulars brilliantly. So far I've only seen Zedel really use it.

Noble Rot
51 Lamb's Conduit St, London WC1N 3NB
Noble Rot - they really care and treat their regulars well. Same goes for the Gilbert Scott and Tredwells. Also Otto's.

The Providores
109 Marylebone High St, Marylebone, London W1U 4RX
The Providores. Great for a treat or a coffee or a glass of wine or brunch. All of it’s great actually. Full of regulars too

Colbert
50-52 Sloane Square, Chelsea, London SW1W 8AX
I vote for @ColbertChelsea - consistently overdelivers on charm, service with kindness.
