160 Picadilly, London W1J 9EB

Situated in a former car showroom, this Viennese style cafe is now a bona fide celebrity magnet where financiers rub shoulders with stars of the stage and screen. Breakfast is probably the hottest ticket here but they also do a very nice afternoon tea too.

Coming from the same group that opened Sumi and Endo at the Rotunda, this is a wood fire concept in Mayfair. The open kitchen is dominated with a huge wood grill, with the counter right in front of that being the place to be. The menu features dishes cooked over fire using a number of methods and even some of the cocktails are set on fire.

Chef Takuya Watanabe left Paris for London to open Taku and it's paid off in style. His Mayfair omakase restaurant has just 16 seats with chef Taku serving up a regularly changing menu based on the best produce available.

Notto sees top chef Phil Howard opening a fresh pasta restaurant on Piccadilly. More affordable than his previous restaurants, like Elystan Street, you can expect an Italian menu (and Italian cocktails) and his own takes on pasta, created together with chef Louis Korovilas.

Connaught House, 1-3 Mount Street, London W1K 3NB

This restaurant from Richard Caring (Scott's, Caprice) isn't doing anything by halves, as the name might suggest. From the moment you enter, you'll be met by a room dominated by galloping unicorns. That's all matched with a Greek-influenced menu, but it's the whole scene which is the real draw here.
