Hoppers St Christopher

Hoppers St Christopher's Place

77 Wigmore Street, Marylebone, London, W1U 1QE

It doesn’t feel as exclusive as the Soho original, but the menu at Hoppers 2.0 is still a winner. The hopper is an obvious ordering choice, but we are also fans of the ‘short eats’, and in fact, everything else on the menu at this cracking Sri Lankan restaurant in Marylebone.

Lita

Lita

7-9 Paddington Street, Marylebone, London, W1U 5QH

Luke Ahearne's expansive Marylebone restaurant is a sumptuous education in wood-fired cooking, even in a city that has been in-love with cooking over fire for some years. Some of the food here - particularly whole turbot and hulking cote de boeufs cooked gently over the flames - even gives Brat a run for its money, which is quite something.

Chez Roux at The Langham

The Langham, Marylebone, London, W1B 1JA

Just months after the closure of his flagship restaurant, Le Gavroche, Michel Roux Jr has returned, this time amongst the swanky walls of London's Langham hotel.

£50 - £79

Carlotta

Carlotta

77-78 Marylebone High Street, Marylebone, London, W1U 5JX

Big Mamma’s restaurants continue to delight in all corners of the capital - Carlotta is a little smaller than some others but no less loud and proud, with plush red leather booths, mismatched crockery and a menu that leans into maximalist Napolitan flavours.
