1. Wild Honey
12 St. George Street
London
W1S 2FB
020 7758 9160
This gorgeous, light and airy Michelin-starred restaurant has a fantastic set lunch menu and an even more impressive à la carte. Staff are wonderfully polite, friendly and attentive and the food, inventive, slavishly seasonal and mainly British in origin, is to die for!
2. Hakkasan
8 Hanway Place
London
W1T 1HD
020 7927 7000
Best experienced on a wet, miserable afternoon - descending into the hidden world of Hakkasan will make you instantly forget your weather woes. Feast on London's finest dim sum and apply famously delicious cocktails liberally. This high-class Oriental fusion restaurant well deserves its Michelin star.
3. Aqua - Kyoto, Nueva and Spirit
30 Argyll Street
London
W1
020 7478 0540
Past the velvet curtains and up into the stunning Aqua experience - choose from three zones: Kyoto offers fabulous contemporary Japanese, Nueva lays on contemporary Spanish fare and tapas and if you're just there for drinks then head to Spirit. High above Soho the views are as spectacular as the food.
4. Winter Garden
222 Marylebone Road
London
NW1 6JQ
020 7631 8000
Set in the eight-storey glass atrium of London's Landmark Hotel, the Winter Garden offers "almost alfresco" dining all year round. The mainly British menu takes inspiration from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Delightful.
5. Oxo Tower Restaurant
Oxo Tower Wharf
Barge House Street
London
SE1 9PH
020 7803 3888
With views out over the Thames, the Harvey Nichols-owned Oxo Tower Restaurant really is the ultimate place for lunch in London. The superb menu is kept up to date with seasonal dishes and the atmosphere is intimate, relaxed and yet, somehow, still sophisticated and exclusive.
