Donostia

Donostia

10 Seymour Place, London, W1H 7ND

The Basque-inspired tapas at this smart restaurant doesn’t need much flattery, and nor does the setting. We recommend booking a seat at the counter and watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen.

Royal China Club

Royal China Club

40-42 Baker Street, London, W1U 7AJ

Classic Chinese cuisine and dim sum made using premium ingredients is what this smart Marylebone restaurant is known and loved for. It’s pricey, but daytime dim sum offers a relatively more affordable way in.

Hoppers St Christopher

Hoppers St Christopher's Place

77 Wigmore Street, 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’.

Under £30

Jikoni

Jikoni

19-21 Blandford Street, Marylebone, London, W1D 3DH

Delamina

Delamina

56-58 Marylebone Lane, London, W1U 2NX

Delamina’s winning combination of friendly staff and good food makes it a must-try for us. It’s also refreshing to find a Middle Eastern restaurant which offers something different to the usual mezzes and grills format.

£30 - £49

Mediterranean

Hive Selfridges

Hive Selfridges

400 Oxford Street, Marylebone, London, W1A 1AB

A restaurant based around honey may sound somewhat gimmicky, but Hive takes its theme seriously (in fact, 3,000 bees now call the Selfridges rooftop home). Tuck into dishes such as monkfish roasted with rosemary honey.

£30 - £49

Modern European

Les 110 de Taillevent

Les 110 de Taillevent

16 Cavendish Square, Marylebone, London, W1G 9DD

Beautifully presented, yet unpretentious food combined with a choice of 110 by-the-glass wines makes this luxe French restaurant popular for dates and special occasions. Charming service helps to soften the edges of the dramatic, low-lit dining room.

£30 - £49

Brasserie of Light

Brasserie of Light

Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, London, London, W1A 1AB

Undeniably arresting, this diamond encrusted brasserie is primed for Instagram photoshoots. There is substance beneath all the glamour though, with the food here being far better than it needs to be - order the lobster spaghettini.

£50 - £79

Fischer

Fischer's

50 Marylebone High Street, Marylebone, London, W1U 5HN

Chiltern Firehouse

Chiltern Firehouse

1 Chiltern Street, Marylebone, London, W1U 7PA

Synonymous with celebs, this hotspot has everything you could want – a lively atmosphere, down-to-earth staff and lip-smacking dishes, such as the famous coral-dusted crab doughnut. Drinks can add up, so expect a hefty final bill.

15-17 Blandford Street, London, London, W1U 3DG
