Restaurant Reviews

43 Upper Brook Street, London W1K 7QR

Previously head chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, Matt Abé has taken over the space that once was home to Le Gavroche. Thoroughly updating it for the 21st Century, he's offering a refined series of tasting menus here, with a great attention to detail in all the dishes on offer.

40-42 Chiltern Street, London W1U 7QN

Maset comes from the same team behind other Marylebone hits, Donostia and Lurra. But while those focused on Spanish food, this restaurant is inspired by southern coastal French cooking. Look out for classic dishes from the region like pâtes au pistou, fantastic steaks and make sure to try their very good cocktail selection.

75 Norwood Road, London SE24 9AA

After working in Michelin-starred kitchens, serving time at HMP Brixton and cooking at The Clink, NattyCanCook (aka Nathaniel Mortley) built a reputation through pop-ups before opening 2210, his first permanent restaurant, in Herne Hill. Here, he's reimagining Caribbean classics with refined flair.

29 Fouberts Place, London W1F 7QF

Originally a big hit in Notting Hill, this is London's second Ria's. As with the original, this Soho outpost has a wine list that's focused on natural wines, while the food is all about deep-dish Detroit-style pizzas.
