Excellent coffee, friendly people. They’ve got their own roasts as well as Colonna and Small’s / Man Versus Machine. Worth a detour.

Outstanding new seafood option in Covent Garden. Tiny and convivial space so make a reservation. Head chef is Japanese and his influences pop up subtly throughout the creative menu.

Great new hotel option near Paddington. Unique rooms with lots of period details. Good food and excellent coffee in the restaurant.

Just, wow. Like Lyle's with more finesse. Absolutely delicious and a lovely atmosphere.

Frenchie's new London outpost. Not cheap but oh-so-good.

I prefer the Belsize location for its roomier, brighter interior but same delicious baked goods and the best breakfast in Hampstead. Granola with rhubarb ginger compote is fab.

Arguably the best cocktails in London. Speakeasy with great flair in execution, beautiful composition, friendly service. Live music Tue-Sat.

Superbly delicious modern Polish cuisine. Very good value and elegant atmosphere without being too formal. Want to try their Sunday brunch.

The best lunch in London: Menu changes daily. Fresh produce is carefully prepared and perfectly cooked.

Always gorgeous. Lyle's remains my favourite restaurant in London.

Fabulous, classic brunch in a new Art Deco icon.

Authentic and delicious jamón.

Cozy cocktail bar in a vintage style, friendlier than your average speakeasy. Their interpretation of a prairie oyster is a remarkable experience. Enjoyed the Terroir here with Eunji Choi.

Wien in London.

Vibrant and open late.
