| Cafe
Spice Namaste 16 Prescot St. London, UK - England E1 8AZ 020-7488-9242 |
In Hindi ”namasté” quite simply means a ‘gracious hello’ - a welcome with a deeper sense of divinity. Here at Café Spice Namasté it means: ‘Welcome to a wonderful Indian gastronomic experience and adventure’ Cafe Spice offers a relaxed, contemporary atmosphere in which to enjoy the extraordinary, vibrant Pan-Asian cuisine. In over a decade of service, the restaurant has sought to redefine Indian food, décor and service. |  |
| St.
John 26 St. John St. London, UK - England EC1M 4AY 20-7251-0848 |
Set in what was once a smokehouse / townhouse, this intriguing restaurant has met with much praise. Its specialty is curious cuts of meat, especially those that modern diners eschew in favor of sanitized supermarket fare. St. John gives them new prestige, often credited with completely rethinking British food thanks to impeccable culinary attention and an original approach. Consider, for example, venison liver and lentils, chitterlings and dandelion greens, mutton and turnips, roast suckling pig, or pigeon and trotter pie. Before you judge, sample the kitchen's skill, and your tastes may just change for good. Other diners' already have. |  |

Canteen 2 Crispin Pl London, E1 6DW, UK +44 845 686 1122 |
Canteen is committed to providing honest food, nationally sourced, skillfully prepared and reasonably priced. We believe in good produce provenance. Our meat is additive free sourced directly from producers practicing good animal husbandry and our fish is delivered fresh from day boats on the south coast. All dushes are cooked to order and the menu changes seasonally to accommodate the best and freshest national produce. |  |

Moro
|
Moro restaurant opened in 1997, and lies at the heart of the lively pedestrianised street, Exmouth Market. Known for its award-winning Moorish cuisine, the restaurant is popular not only with diners, but with those who come in to enjoy tapas, which are served throughout the day. |
|
| Scott's 20 Mount St. London, UK - England W1 K2HE 020 7495 7309 |
Established
as one of the most fashionable and glamorous eateries in town, the restaurant
has welcomed film stars, politicians and writers through the decades. Ian
Fleming, the creator of James Bond, was often seen at Scott's in the 50s
and 60s and it was reportedly here that he discovered the dry martini 'shaken
not stirred'. Acquired by Caprice Holdings in 2005, the restaurant has returned
to its former glory as a seafood restaurant and oyster bar. |
 |
| The
Ivy 1 West St. Covent Garden London, UK - England WC2H 9NQ +44 20 7836 4751 |
This
London landmark is popular with pre-theater crowds, thanks to a location
in the West End, a varied menu, and easy elegance. The Art Deco-inspired
room features light wood and often fills up early. The array of modern
dishes includes risotto nero, ribeye steak bearnaise, shepherd's pie,
and Thai baked sea bass. The dessert menu includes puddings and iced berries
with hot white chocolate sauce. Reservations are necessary months in advance
to get a table among the starlets and power brokers. |

|
The Wolseley 160 Piccadilly London, UK - England W1J 9EB 020 7499 6996 |
The
Wolseley's Viennese theme, classic interiors, consistent cooking and esteemed
clientele make it an establishment, even though it's relatively new, compared
with its neighbor The Ritz. Those in the know come here for breakfast –
Omelette Arnold Bennett never fails to please (the eggs are sublime). Baked
whole seabass with tomato and tarragon and wiener schnitzel from the rotisserie
provide reliable meal options. A genuine occasion venue, this grande dame
has unbeatable people-watching potential to boot. TUBE: Piccadilly Circus.

 |
| Galvin 66 Baker St. London, UK - England W1 020 7935 4007 |
Founded
in 2005, this eatery brought the bistrots modernes philosophy to London,
where it's now quite hip. Chef brothers Chris and Jeff Galvin, one of whom
held a Michelin-star, crafted a menu both affordable and sublime. Many dishes
run in a traditional Gallic vein, such as soft-boiled gull eggs with celery
salt and mustard cress, grilled blue-fin tuna with piperade and roasted
artichokes, and a sweet soufflé of Gariguette strawberries. A refined,
though friendly, crowd and pleasant, understated ambience further add to
the appeal. |

|
Leon |
This
eating-on-the-go concept had a healthy influence on the capital's culinary
preferences. Dishes range from pea and mint soup served with organic basmati
rice and open sesame slaw to roasted sweet potato falafel and homemade aioli
Tuk Tuk salad. This branch is a vast affair with jolly idiosyncrasies –
paint-pot seats, bookish decor and the headlights from Ludgate Circus illuminate
the evening. Branches in Carnaby Street and Knightsbridge round out the
hat trick. |
|
| Yauatcha 15 Broadwick St. London, UK - England W1 0870 780 8265 |
Hailed
as one of the capital's finest restaurants, and sister to the famous Hakkasan,
Yauatcha was among the forerunners adding dim sum on the London menu. The
selection is outstanding, from ocean-fresh hargau to plump seabass dumplings
and a mesmeric silver cod. Choose carefully and an evening here could be
close to affordable, too. The stylish, metropolitan interiors embrace giant
fish tanks. Yauatcha also makes for an attractive afternoon tea destination,
complete with its delectable pastries and cakes. |
