22 Grosvenor Square, London W1K 6LF

The Twenty Two is headed up by MD Darius Namdar who was one of the people behind the launch of Chiltern Firehouse and it certainly seems like he's brought some of that glamour to Mayfair. The buzzy restaurant also has top food credentials too, with ex Picture chefs Alan Christie and Colin Kelly in charge of the food.

Cyril Lignac is A Big Deal in France where he has several restaurants and puts in regular appearances on French TV. This is the London outpost of his Bar des Pres concept which sees sushi made with Label Rouge salmon and his signature crunchy crab with avocado galette. The wine list is suitably French as are many of the clientele.

This is from Samyukta Nair, the restaurateur who brought us Jamavar and Bombay Bustle. With this Mayfair restaurant, she wants to take Londoners on a journey to 1920s Shanghai. Expect a glitzy high-end Chinese menu in this three-floored building which also has an excellent (but small) bar in the basement.

Berkeley Square House, 4-19 Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London W1J 6BR

This Mayfair restaurant is an offshoot of the Spanish original which caused a sensation when it opened in Madrid. Designed to look like a rainforest, the restaurant looks like nothing else in London. Food is "a blend of tropical and Latin American cuisines" - so that means everything from Peruvian sushi to South American chupe and a lot of Josper-grilled meats.
