• TOPJAW, 'Best of #London' ↗their pick · 2026-01-15
  • SaborMayfair

    “Best spot for solo dining: I would head to Sabor. Cooking Spanish food is just glorious. Rock up to the bar, speak to the chef, and you say, just feed me. Grilled octopus, suckling pig, sardines.”

• MICHELIN Guide, 'Michel Roux's London: The Le Gavroche Legend Gives His Recommendations' (Andrew Young) ↗their pick · 2025-07-15
  • Borough MarketBorough

    “For me, Borough Market has it all. Great produce, not only from the UK but from all over the world. Likewise, the food on offer is eclectic and multi-ethnic. A true reflection of London.”

  • The Ritz RestaurantPiccadilly

    “For elegance, style and French classics look no further than The Ritz. It's very much a destination restaurant and venue for a special occasion.”
