The restaurant itself has maintained its late-Victorian charm with panelled interiors that are intimate without being overbearing."

"A jewel of the Covent Garden dining scene, this incredibly smart restaurant was opened by 1890s fishmonger Josef Sheekey on the permission of Lord Salisbury (who wanted somewhere to eat after the theatre)."

"What: After winning a Michelin star in 2021 having been open for just 20 days, Hackney’s Behind has quickly become regarded as one of London’s finest seafood spots.

"Chef Daniel Humm and team have adapted their space at Claridges hotel – formerly home to restaurants by both Simon Rogan and Gordon Ramsay – by opening a small terrace with a paired-down menu. Lobster rolls and hotdogs recall his ‘other’ restaurant Eleven Madison Park’s summer pop-ups in the Hamptons. These are of course not any old rolls and ‘dogs and prices reflect that this is a kitchen potentially on the way to at least a second Michelin star in the next guide."

"We’re sure your partner is the one etc, but the allure of what comes out of the Davies and Brook kitchen might just turn your head. Serious foodies can’t help but fall for Daniel Humm’s critically acclaimed food at his new restaurant inside the ever-atmospheric Claridge’s hotel. In the daytime, the room is light and bright – but by the evening, the lamps dim and the already elegant setting becomes irresistibly intimate."

The box for one features fried chicken, three sides, house rolls, and raspberry cheesecake and will cost you £35. You can pick it up, or you can place an order to get it delivered direct from their website"

With its serene but welcoming atmosphere and short but tempting food menu – think breaded halloumi with romesco sauce and Israeli couscous or treacle-cured bacon sarnie with smoked garlic and tomato chutney – Franks will fix your day before it’s even had a chance to go wrong. Good coffee, efficient staff, generous portions and a playlist full of memorable tracks will gently transform you from a duvet zombie to a chipper day-seizer with minimum fuss."

Made for groups of two or more, these feast boxes are accompanied by a selection of Greek wines from Ampéli’s latest list. Showcasing Ampéli’s autumn menu, each box contains a selection of dishes which regularly feature on tables across Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean."

"Ampeli is one of a host of wonderful restaurants on Charlotte Street, and one of the few that benefits from a small outdoor terrace. That terrace seats exactly six people and has both a cover and heaters so you can tuck into excellent plates of Greek food (accompanied by a stand out wine list of bottles from the mainland and many islands) while watching the world go by. It could be said to be one of the most exclusive tables in London right now..."

"18 Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 2LZ Why should you care?.

"Restaurants Chinese Soho. If romance is on your mind, you need to bypass Yauatcha’s frenetic ground-floor canteen and head down to the brick-lined basement with its illuminated fish tank, twinkling lights and nightclubby vibe (bass-heavy beats included). Luxe dim sum (and some dazzling larger plates) are offset by spectacular East-West desserts, while heady teas, exotic cocktails and jet-setting wines complete a sexy Michelin-starred package."

"Fragrant noodle dishes, meat-filled wontons and lip-smacking curries are served at Yauatcha on Soho's Broadwick Street, where dimly lit interiors are adorned with sleek furnishings. Be sure to save room for dessert - try the "Winter Sun", an exotic fruit mousse served with black-sesame cream and a banana-toffee compote, or the praline brownie topped with salted yuzu caramel."
