Many of these restaurants are extremely popular and need to be booked up to 6 weeks in advance to avoid disappointment. Many restaurants in London now also require credit card details to hold the table for you so be prepared to give these over the telephone!
The guide prices include 3 courses, house wine, coffee and a tip!

A more eclectic drinkerie than this is hard to imagine: designed by Phillipe Starck, this is a bar without a bar (it's screened off) within a trademark minimalist setting. As the name intimates, light is the focal point and the ceiling lighting of pure colour is breathtaking.

Bright and flash, and definitely more fun than finesse. You descend a hugely grand spiral staircase to the basement bar where any thoughts of going for dinner on the Titanic are quickly dispelled by the happy throng inside. Even though its straining to be a cut above, you can't help but enjoy yourself here, and the bar staff are terribly polite.

Momo is famed for bringing North Africa's Couscous and Tagines to the West End. Sumptuous Ottoman-style low-slung couches and cushions make for sumptuous comfort - if difficult to get up from!
