Restaurant Reviews

30 Grosvenor Square, London W1K 6AN

This New York Italian restaurant is one of NYC's most famous restaurants and is still hard to get a table at. The London version follows the same template as the original - classic New York Italian dishes with added flair, a gorgeous-looking lower-ground dining room and a big attention to service. Your meal will be shepherded by your "captain" and if you're looking for a night out where you're properly looked after, while eating dishes like spicy vodka rigatoni, this is the place for you. Plus, there's a very good chance of spotting a celeb here.

138 Brompton Rd, London SW3 1HY

This popular fish and chip shop group originated in Mayfair, hence the name. This is their second venture and is open all day, so it's a useful spot for a breakfast as well as battered cod and cocktails in the evenings. In addition to the classic fish and chips, they also do a nice line in lobster rolls, fish finger butties and fresh oysters.

14-15 Beauchamp Pl, London SW3 1NQ

This fine dining restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Rohit Ghai spans four floors of a Knightsbridge townhouse, topped with a rooftop cocktail bar. At the heart of the offering is sigri cooking, a way of cooking over live fire. The restaurant's look is inspired by the Himalayas but the menu takes inspiration from across India. The signature butter chicken is not to be missed.

86 Wardour St, London W1F 0TQ

From Mad Restaurants (also behind ALTA), MOI brings Japanese cooking over fire to Soho, led by Andy Cook (ex-Gordon Ramsay, Soho Farmhouse). Expect sushi, sashimi and grilled dishes using British produce, like Orkney scallops with juniper kombu, turbot with yuzu kosho butter and crab temaki with apple and kimizu sauce. The raw concrete-and-wood interiors feature two open kitchens, a dramatic staircase, plus a downstairs omakase and Tokyo-style listening bar with cocktails by Dino Koletsas (Artesian).
