62 Goodge Street, London W1T 4NE

Once known as Barrica, this is now the Fitzrovia outpost of Spanish tapas bar Copita, owned by former wine shipper Tim Luther. This tapas spot has been fairly quietly building a loyal audience in London's media heartland for its standout tapas and excellent sherry list.

69 - 71 Dean Street, London W1D 3SE

Part of Nick Jones' Soho House empire, this is a hotel and restaurant space in Dean Street. This 'glorious cream Georgian building, originally home to the Gargolye Club' (their words), has 41 bedrooms alongside a traditional English dining room, seating 120. The all-day menu includes British favourites as well as afternoon tea, weekend brunch and weekly Sunday roast.

2 Burleigh Street London WC2E 7PX

This long-running Covent Garden restaurant has moved from its original location, but somehow looks almost identical. There's a brasserie menu but made sure you order their excellent burger (it's not listed on the menu - you have to be in the know).
