London Restaurants - Westminster, Strand, Victoria

Gordon Ramsay launches the new Savoy Grill, with head chef Stuart Gillies in charge and now with an added champagne bar.

The opening of an above average new Italian in the culinary hinterland of Westminster should prove a boon to spindoctors, lobbyists, journalists and any MP brave enough to put a nice meal out on their expenses. Chef Michele Brogi draws heavily on his Tuscan roots when it comes to the menu.

In an area of town more usually associated with after-office binge drinkers and faux American burger joints, the arrival of a new, cheerful Bistro offering great comfort food to the weary masses can only be a good thing.

This new gastropub comes from the owners of previously lauded gastropubs The Thomas Cubitt and The Pantechnicon. This is their first pub with rooms in Pimlico. There's a wood-fired oven for pizzas and roasts and 4 en-suite bedrooms.

Popular wine bar Terroirs expands into its basement with larger tables and set meal times to create a more traditional restaurant.

With London being the strongest it's ever been for high-end Indian restaurants, the Quilon has been one of the longest serving in the city - and it's kept its Michelin star too. It's also the sister restaurant of Bombay Brasserie. Expect south west coastal Indian cuisine with a high-end feel.
