First time experiencing Mexican flavours in a fine dining setting and hopefully not the last one. Everything was top notch from beginning to end. From starting with an amazing Mezcal margarita to the exquisite menu (the mole!), in depth wine & mezcal pairing and the knowledgeable staff. Make sure to also visit the Mezcaleria with a broad selection of sophisticated cocktails for aperito or an after dinner drink!

Personal, smart cooking by Sebastian Myers, brilliant wine list. Worth the trip to Haggerston!Such a great and personal restaurant in an unassuming location on a side street in Haggerston. The cooking by Sebastian Myers is fresh, seasonal, sometimes with surprising combinations and flavours but always delicious. Strong wine concept by founder Jonathan Alphandery - you could come here just for the wines. Separate tables and long communal bar table. Love this place!

A neighbourhood restaurant with flairPerilla flys a little under the radar, but this buzzy neighbourhood restaurant has a real idiosyncratic style across it's a la carte and set menus that I love. Fantastic saucemaking and inventive dishes like cauliflower mushroom carbonara keep me coming back, plus it's very reasonably priced for the standard of cooking. Great bread too, I could sit there and eat it non-stop with their homemade brown butter. Perilla's like the quirky, quiet kid at school who ends up changing the world, or at least, is very, very good at cooking.

West African-insipred fine diningA restaurant that really does deserve more acclaim, with the kitchen now helmed by chef Ayo Adeyami, formerly of Tippling Club in Singapore. The menu is a thrilling tour of West African cuisines utilising lots of British ingredients, with the kind of spicing that will make you sit up straight and electric flavours. The jollof rice is fantastic and I would recommend trying the soft pairing even if you're a drinker, as they make some memorable homemade brews.

Modern British izakaya in the heart of Nine ElmsNew venture in the Embassy Gardens development of Nine Elms from Chase Lovecky and Lynus Lim. A shiny new site has been styled to create a minimally designed interior perfectly suited for this super modern spin on an izakaya. A frequently changing menu delivers well priced takes on Japanese classics using well sourced British ingredients. The sweetbread katsu buns were off the chart! All backed up by a short but well thought out selection of wines and sakes this is clearly a great addition to the area.

A low-key restaurant and natural wine bar in Soho. Candlelit and lovely with a daily scribbled menu promoting fresh, seasonal and local produce - charred celeriac flecked with salty ricotta and chunks of walnut, or how about hanger steak with cavolo nero? Weekday lunch specials come with a glass of wine for £10 - bloody outrageous!

Every single thing chef Steve Williams does is a little extra and very very good. Amazingly good Franco-British food by chef Steve Williams, who was saucier chef at The Ledbury when I worked there at pastry. Steve’s a f***ing good cook. Every single thing he does is a little extra and very very good. My wife says she had the best salad she’s ever eaten – the cucumber and lettuce salad – at 40 Maltby Street.

Regularly changing, provenance-driven dishes with a strong leaning towards orange and natural winesA massive communal table holds centre stage in the dining room at Elliot’s, which features scruffy yellow brick walls and great views of the bustle outside in Borough Market. On offer is a tidy selection of regularly changing, provenance-driven dishes, such as pig’s head cromesquis with home-baked bread, monkfish with chickpeas, and brilliantly salty Cantabrian anchovies on sourdough toast. Pizzas are made fresh to order - pepperoni, ‘nduja & gorgonzola dolce is ace, as is beef ragu, pancetta & parmesan. Lots of great wines, too, with a strong leaning towards orange and natural wines.
