The best restaurants in Marylebone

Once a pop-up supperclub, AngloThai have now settled down in Marylebone. The restaurant sees them marrying Thai cuisine with British ingredients, producing some of the best Thai cuisine available in London. Make sure to pay particular attention to the excellent wine list.

Lita in Marylebone sees ex-Corrigan's chef Luke Ahearne taking the helm at this luxe live-fire restaurant in Marylebone. With a vibe that harkens back to nearby Chiltern Firehouse, this mixes a bit of laid-back glamour with an excellent menu that has a focus on southern European/Mediterranean dishes. The cocktails are notably on-point too.

Santiago Lastra's Michelin-starred Kol was at the forefront of the reinvigoration of Mexican food in London and is one of the few London restaurants on the World's 50 Best list. The restaurant mixes Mexican cooking with ingredients that are largely sourced in the UK for a more upmarket approach to Mexican cooking. The downstairs Mezcalareia bar is also excellent and worth a visit on its own.

Mayha's original opening was in Beirut, a somewhat surprising way for a Japanese omakase restaurant to arrive in London. Here it's a two floored affair with the ground floor serving a long omakase menu. Downstairs, you'll find a standalone bar which is also worth a visit.

This is from the people behind Donostia - and it's just across the road from their sibling. It's a much larger restaurant and there's a big emphasis on the aged Galician beef, which they import themselves (and supply other restaurants with too). An excellent place to try Basque-style steak in London - and they've a lovely private courtyard too.

Cavita is the London restaurant from Mexican-born chef Adriana Cavita, who was previously at top restaurants including El Bulli and Pujol. Here, you'll get a high-end Mexican menu in a relaxed setting as well as a separate downstairs mezcaleria.

This is the sibling of one of Soho's most popular restaurants (and from the same people as Gymkhana). As with the Soho Hoppers, there's a big focus on hoppers and dosas and larger Sri Lankan and South Indian dishes alongside those, all set within a much larger space.

Part of The Langham hotel, this is run by Michel Roux but it's much more like a standalone gastropub - and as such is one of the handiest drinking dens in the area. That said, the food is well worth a look too - the pies and masala scotch egg particularly.

Like all of BAO's London restaurants, this Marylebone outposts features their excellent Taiwanese steamed buns, with the signature Classic pork bao being a must. The added extra at this restaurant is that they also specialise in xiao chi snacks and small plates, with the lamb or mushroom dumplings well worth trying alongside the baos.

Ravinder Bhogal is probably best known for her articles, books and TV appearances - as well as a series of successful residencies. This is her first restaurant, taking its influences from Britain, East Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

This is an Eastern Mediterranean kitchen on Marylebone Lane where the couple who run it have been inspired by their family heritage. Expect a modern menu, with inspirations from Eastern Med and the Middle East in a laid back setting.

One of the best food shops in Marylebone is also a very good place to stop for a meal and a glass of wine. Open mainly during the day (and Friday evenings) there are small plates as well as plenty of cheesy dishes like toasties, fondue and, of course, plenty of cheese and charcuterie options. Paired with an excellent wine list and cocktails too, it's an essential Marylebone stop.

This is the Marylebone outpost of Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver's classic nose-to-tail British restaurant. Like the original, you can expect a pared-back interior and many of the St John classics to appear in this all-day restaurant.

Alley Cats Pizza has been something of a phenomenon. The pizzeria is based on NYC-style pizzerias with huge pizzas on offer and built up an avid following overnight. There are no bookings so queues are likely at peak times and when you get a table expect the classic crisp-based pizzas to fill the whole table. They do offer click & collect if you're queue-phobic.

This Marylebone restaurant from the Big Mamma Group (Circolo Popolare, Gloria) is described as more "intimate" than the others but it still has the mad, flamboyant design that they're known for (and some crazy toilets). Food is their take on Neapolitan and Sicilian classics with an Americano twist - and some pretty large portions along the way.

They may have hit the big time with Gymkhana, but this is where the Sethi siblings (behind some of London's best restaurants) first started. It specialises in coastal Indian cuisine and boasts a Michelin star.

They expanded from a pop-up, roaming outlet to become one of the biggest burger restaurants in London. Their first restaurant was in W1 and has now been replaced with this even bigger venue. There are burgers, hot dogs, lethal cocktails and - most useful - a very late licence.

Roketsu comes from Daisuke Hayashi (previously Executive Head chef at Tokimeitē) and this is very much a passion project. The restaurant revolves around a Japanese Kaiseki tasting menu, taking dashi as its base. Particular care has been taken with the design, with elements that have been imported from Japan - it looks amazing as a result.

Junsei is all about yakitori skewers cooked over Binchōtan Japanese Charcoal . There are over 20 skewers available, not to mention Wagyu seared at the table and more...

Originally launched by Xavier Rousset and Agnar Sverrisson (who are also behind Texture), this is a "wine workshop and kitchen" on Marylebone Lane. Once part of a group, it's now a solo wine bar with European food in Marylebone and a very handy place to stop for a drink and snacks in the area.

ZOILO is the creation of chef Diego Jacquet who wanted to create a restaurant reflective of his Argentinian heritage and its products. Centred around the ‘Asado’ - the Argentinian tradition of grilling meat and fish, the grill is the beating heart of Zoilo. A passionate wine enthusiast, Diego takes great pleasure in constantly updating and evolving the diverse wine list which houses over 200 labels. Downstaris you'll find a private dining room with seating for up to 10-12 guests.

Goodman, the people behind the incredibly successful Burger and Lobster opened this restaurant which is focused purely around steak and king crab. Expect communal tables, sides, a big wine list and a limited spirit list too.

This Wolseley Hospitality Group restaurant is intended to be evocative of early 20th century Vienna so the menu has a distinct Austrian bent with schnitzels, strudels and more the order of the day.

This all-day restaurant serves food inspired by traditional and contemporary Greek cuisine, with many ingredients direct from Greece.

The people behind Parisian restaurant Taillevent brought this spin-off Les 110 de Taillevent to London. It focuses on food and wine pairings and is named after the 110 wines available by the glass. Each of the 30 dishes is matched by one of four selected glasses.

This Mediterranean restaurant comes from Xavier Rousset. Expect a Med menu with specific Italian influences and, as with all of his restaurants, the wine is a big deal. There are over 250 wines and champagnes on the list to work your way through.

One of the jewels in the crown of the D&D restaurant empire, The Orrery offers classic French food in a rather opulent first floor dining room. If you're in Marylebone and in need of cosseting, this is the place to go. Just don't forget to order the cheese trolley.

This, the original Dinings, has a well deserved reputation for serving up excellent Japanese food with flair. Either sit up at the sushi bar or book a table in the restaurant.

Clarette took over an old pub in Marylebone and kept the pub aesthetic with a touch of Art Deco design. You'll find a wine bar downstairs with a more traditional bistro upstairs, alongside a French wine list.

This upmarket Chinese restaurant in Marylebone certainy hasn't stinted on the opulence, with a flamboyant look and feel throughout. The menu is huge, but the weekend and lunchtime dim-sum is what it's all about. It's very popular with families and larger groups alike.

Once referred to by Alain Ducasse as having the best fish and chips in London, this isn't your standard chippy, with the decor being a cut above to start. The restaurant has been family-owned for 50 years, surviving a fire in 2009 and there's a lot to back up Ducasse's claim.

This is a combined wine bar, trattoria and deli in Marylebone. It comes from chef Maurizio Morelli, also behind Latium in Fitzrovia. Expect a traditional Italian menu throughout, and you should pay particular attention to their bread - bricole does mean breadcrumbs, after all.

Donostia serves up Basque-style tapas and pintxos in this Marylebone restaurant (the sibling restaurant of Lurra, across the road). Here you'll find top pintxos, perfectly done tortilla, plenty of txakoli and more Basque delights.

An Indian street cafe with an urban London feel with small Indian bites including "bun tikka" and "bun kebab" - essentially Indian styled burgers- and a larger restaurant with bigger plates downstairs.
