First time to get to know this kitchen and it was a great experience!The FOH was so warm and welcoming, and the cooking was modern French with a feminine touch. A pinch of Italian pureness and a London vibe. A true London 3-star.

A London Classic. The menu changes from time to time, it's my 3rd time coming back here, and they deliver all. the. time. Visited Ledbury for lunch during weekends & dinner on weekdays, and even though the dinner menu is more extensive, I can’t resist a long cozy (home like ambience) lunch on a breezy summer day as well...

What chef Andrew Wong has done in his modern Chinese 2 Michelin star restaurant in Pimlico is unique. It's almost impossible to get a table, and I’ve had many wonderful meals here. Such a beautiful place.

The intimate dining room offers a welcoming space, where the team’s care and attention to detail are clear throughout each course.

Proving why ‘fine’ dining is just that…After the premature closing of The Greenhouse at the start of the pandemic Alex Dilling has been popping up at various places around Europe but his new, self titled, Cafe Royal restaurant marks his return and it doesn’t disappoint! With his head chef Pierre Minotti leading the team London has a new go to destination for high end French cuisine. Playful takes on tradition only enhance what serious dining is all about. In a world of ‘new and groovy’ dining concepts AD and Co are setting the standard for haute cuisine as it should be. Many Michelin baubles will no doubt follow….

One of, if not the best, Indian restaurants in London. Everything is so flavoursome, aromatic and cooked to perfection. Portions are generous so go easy on ordering. Not all traditional dishes but there’s a beautiful balance of classic and contemporary cooking here. Beautiful decor too.

Pushing the boundaries of what deliciousness isWith the exponentially growing amount of shared pictures of signature dishes combined with spying and stealing (known as inspiration), most of the fine dining today is becoming alarmingly similar in terms of ingredients, combinations, dishes and plating. In this sense, Chef Jeremy Chan's and Iré Hassan-Odukale's Ikoyi feels refreshingly different. This two Michelin star holder (since 2022) is said to be a fusion of "West Africa meets British Isles" cuisine, but it could also be aptly described as "genuinely original" or even "bold but delicious" fine dining. Most of the spices come from Nigeria / West Africa, practically all of the ingredients are sourced locally, and the techniques employed are global, making it pleasantly challenging to pinpoint what Ikoyi is all about. As Chan himself puts it, the goal is to "push the boundaries of what deliciousness is" and "help guests discover flavors they're not familiar with." Few examples? A chicken sausage marinated with vin jaune infused with African peppercorns and served with a mushroom emulsion on soft toast that has been caramelized in chicken fat known as a drunken chicken toast. Or on the other end of the spectrum, their rough looking but superbly comforting signature dish Smoked jollof rice. Ikoyi moved at the end of 2022. The new space designed by David Thulstrup (known for his work on new Noma, etc.) is on par with the cuisine. The space has an understated and cave-meets-sci-fi feel, combining southern warmth and nordic coolness. Very expensive but truly unique as well. To wrap things up, for those who don't know (like myself), what is Ikoyi, it is the most affluent neighborhood in Lagos, set to become the most populous city in the world.
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in London blends a sleek, modern setting with inspiration drawn from centuries of British culinary tradition. Despite earning two Michelin stars, it maintains a relaxed feel and friendly service. Guests return for its consistently high standards, making it an inviting destination for a memorable dining experience.

Dinner by Heston will always hold a very special place in my heart. It’s my sort-of neighbourhood-ish restaurant where I recognize familiar friendly faces without the posh tosh of a Michelin star restaurant. Of course, the food is consistently spectacular.

Tucked away at the back of Bubbledogs through a discreet entrance, is the 20 seat Kitchen Table. Kitchen Table is a dining experience, encouraging full interaction with the chefs and showcasing previously unseen kitchen theatre.Head Chef James Knappett prepares, cooks and serves a daily changing menu of meticulously sourced and foraged British ingredients.I really enjoyed this experience dinner, the atmosphere is not "classic" and therefore not really for people who want to dine quietly but for me, it is one of the best places to eat in London.

When London meets Paris. That little French sparkle in the UK.The house of Mr. Bibendum aka Claude Bosi. Iconic is the building, legendary is Claude’s cuisine. “Simple” ingredients though with that French modern sparkle, are the signature of Claude & his team. As a captain on a sailing ship, Claude navigates his cuisine in serene waters. Special positive remark for Diego Masciaga, head of the Front of House. As legendary as the chef himself. Topspot in London. Ps visited during W50B London with The Family.

Da Terra is a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in London’s Town Hall Hotel, led by chef Rafael Cagali. Drawing on his Brazilian and Italian roots, the menu blends global influences in a modern, welcoming setting. Guests can expect a thoughtful tasting experience that reflects the chef’s personal and international background.
Recommended by
Brazilian inspired fine dining by Brazilian chef Rafael Cagali. Da Terra in east London is run by chef Rafael Cagali who originally is from Brazil. He draws inspiration from Brazil and the flavours of the Amazon but adds some British personality to his fine dining meals. I highly recommend their tasting menu and the cocktails are really good as well. The short rib dish is amazing, and the menu changes with the season. In the summer they have this trout cannelloni with courgette and chervil sauce, which is very good. They also have a pineapple dish with fermented Tepache pineapple drink. And the brioche mushroom served with the chicken is also a signature dish.
BRAT in Shoreditch features a relaxed atmosphere where everything is prepared over an open fire influenced by Basque traditions. The focus is on highlighting bold, smoky flavors while keeping things straightforward and inviting. It’s a comfortable spot to enjoy high-quality cooking in the heart of London.
Recommended by
An open woodfire restaurant that takes you to the Basque Country for a moment and really lives up to it’s reputation. The grilled turbot is out of this world but in fact all other courses are also tasty as hell! All in a no nonsense environment paired with a broad selection of top producers, sophisticated cocktails and attentive staff!
