Restaurant reviews

We’re eating our way through an ever-increasing selection of restaurants around the UK, and love to keep everyone reliably informed of our findings. If you’re wondering what’s it’s like to eat at the Gherkin, or just want to find a great French Bistro of a place, browse through this section for culinary elightenment.
The Landmark London
Afternoon tea has enjoyed a definite resurgence in 2008, so let’s hope that 2009 is the year of the breakfast. The Landmark London wouldn’t be a bad place to start.
Lena
Lena's sourcing team deserve great merit here for so much of what delighted us. It's bound to be the best Italian restaurant in the area.
Vanilla
If you want to be wowed by your food, before and after you devour it – Vanilla definitely delivers.
108 Marylebone Lane
108 Marylebone Lane is a a highly enjoyable and thoughtful addition to Marylebone’s excellent catering community.
Food for Thought
If you shop in and around Seven Dials on a regular basis, the chances are that you may already know about Food for Thought, but if you don’t, it’s a wonderful place to add to your memory bank when you stomach starts growling.
Bistro One Ninety
As the bistro is tucked inside The Gore Hotel, it’s the kind of place you could walk past for years, only to fall into it one random evening and curse yourself for not having found it sooner.
Devonshire Terrace
Devonshire Terrace is a great place to eat – run away from the city boys and pop in - you'll be pleased you did.
Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill
The lovely thing about Bentley’s is that it’s big on atmosphere, and brilliant for quality.
Texture Restaurant
If ever a restaurant embodies its name, this is it. A true exploration of taste and, of course, texture.
Fifth Floor Restaurant at Harvey Nichols
The price tag at Harvey Nichols’ Fifth Floor Restaurant is an expensive one, but worth it.
Island Restaurant & Bar
With so many restaurants hell bent on presentation, but falling short when it comes to the food, the Island wins big brownie points.
The Cadogan Hotel
We arrived at The Cadogan Hotel, in pursuit of that highly civilised notion that is afternoon tea.
Amphitheatre restaurant
One of the great things about eating at the Amphitheatre restaurant is its location: sitting proud within the confines of the Royal Opera House, you get to marvel a bit on the way to your table.
Coach and Horses
On a Wednesday night during the credit crunch, it isn't surprising to find the bar of the Coach and Horses is buzzing but the annex dining room we are led to is barren. I feel I've been in quite a lot of these pub dining rooms lately; makeshift add-ons to traditional pubs.
