Restaurant Reviews

3 Glendower Pl, South Kensington, London SW7 3DU

Led by chef Shilpa Dandekar, Pravaas looks for inspiration in its dishes from across India, with an emphasis on traditional cooking methods. Here you'll also find elevated takes on Indan staples alongside seasonally changing dishes, with the Mangalore chicken and the lamb galouti kebab being among the signatures.

142 Chiswick High Rd., Chiswick, London W4 1PU

The Silver Birch has built a great reputation over the years for being an excellent neighbourhood restaurant that takes a high-end- approach to British dining. Its current chef, Nathan Cornwell, previously won a Michelin star at The Barn at Moor Hall, and at this restaurant, he's taken a seasonal approach to the menu.

30 Grosvenor Sq, London W1K 6AN

After being a hit in the Harrods Dining Hall, this sees top sushi chef Masayoshi Takayama opening his own London restaurant, inside the Chancery Rosewood hotel. Expect a very high-end approach to sushi with the chef's signature toro tartare caviar being the main draw.

58 Exmouth Market, London EC1R 4QE

This Italian-led wine bar is the second Passione Vino in London. Owner Luca Dusi took over the old tattoo parlour vacated by his artist mate Mo Coppoletta and has transformed it into a cosy spot to sit and enjoy good wine. There's no list, so you just tell staff what you like and they'll recommend something to get you out of your wine rut. The small plates are also fantastic (and generous).
