    One of central London's top best for fish + chips.

    Classic. Slip in for a lunch.

    If you're in Marylebone, which is not that far from most things, this is a really tasty option.

    Just a really good French experience.

    Has to be the finest food companion to Tate Modern.

    Yummy and unfussy. Just very, very good, with a warm atmosphere.

    Nando's has its place – a reliable and tasty comfort thing to do at least three times a year.

    Very, very fine. And the cakes and pastries are of a high standard too. Today's double macchiato and chocolate + pecan cookie at the 54 Tavistock Place branch (Continental Stores) were equally exemplary.

    Cool and stylish and not at all pricey (and with a certain sexy history). Nicely positioned too.

    The ultimate den of iniquity for rubber and leather pursuits, whether 40 in attendance or 240. Organic, a bit festery, nice.

    Admittedly extraordinary, but I wasn't the one paying.

    Fish pie. Chips. Wine (or beer). Perfect. Great rooms too. Go on an off night.

    Don't be put off by the trek to get there, which is not much of a trek at all. You won't regret it. And hopefully you'll have Angie as your guide.

    A less worthy-heavy and pedantic theatre experience than what you often find at the Almeida and the Royal Court. And you can walk three minutes to Soho for a drink afterwards.

    Effortless and exhaustive without being exhausting. A jewel.

    Over a year ago

    No longer rare but still excellent

    Still a great burger. Their expansion has not meant a decline in quality in the slightest. That's rare (like the burgers, but only if you plead with them to cook it that way...they're not meant to offer anything less than medium-rare... down to...ugh...health & safety).

    There's much to like and love here, but for a price. A four and a half that's closer to a five than a four.

    Difficult to find fault with this place. And the savouries are just as tasty as the sweets. However, the crowd can be a bit 'institutionalised Islington'.

    Unusually nice flavour, especially the chips done in beef fat. And yes, the chips are better well-done.

    Much better than you think. Try the hot pizza with red lentil soup, followed by chicken etc.

    Go early in your trip because you'll want to return here, either for mid-morning danish, French almond croissants, pain au raisin etc .or for mid-afternoon cakes (esp the Paris Brest, mille feuille, tarte au citron, fruit almond slices etc.).

    Food and atmosphere are the bee's knees. One of Berlin's finer schnitzels, with the rest of the menu just as tasty. Ausgezeichnet.
