A well designed bar or restaurant can really catch the eye, as we remembered only this week as we entered the VERY impressive dining room at Jason Atherton's newly opened Berners Tavern.
That restaurant has to be in with a good chance in next year's Restaurant and Bar Design Awards, but in the meantime London's had a very good showing in this year's - with Bubbledogs, Tramshed, Newman Street Tavern and more all getting nods. And Atrium Champagne Bar in London won the overall Best Bar award (while Höst in Denmark got the Best Restaurant nod).
