  1. Le Cercle restaurant

    Restaurant review: Le Cercle

    It’s a certain type of restaurant that has a set of branded automatic doors at its entrance. Le Cercle, just off Sloane Square, certainly doesn’t do things by halves: from the truffle popcorn that’s brought to you as you sip...

  6. Lowndes Bar and Kitchen restaurant London

    Review: Lowndes Bar and Kitchen

    Hotel restaurants are slightly bizarre places. Often full of bleary-eyed, jet-lagged punters, weary business men and fraught parents with whimpering children all in search of a late night meal, you probably wouldn’t seek it out unless you were staying in...

  7. Aubaine Kensington

    Review: Aubaine restaurant

    Aubaine, I’m informed, is French for a godsend, a fortunate windfall or a stroke of luck. And the branch in Kensington must be doing ok because this is their fourth restaurant in London.

  13. Eighty Six restaurant 86 Fulham Road Chelsea London

    Review: Eighty Six

    Eighty Six is an unashamedly impressive venue. The brooding, dark corners of the bar, punctuated by opulent gold decorating, open to a double-height ceiling and a winding bar.But it’s the restaurant upstairs that showcases Eighty Six’s real decadence. The four-sided...

  14. The Collection bar restaurant Brompton Road London

    Review: The Collection

    The Collection gives nothing away, right from the off. Visitors to the minimalist website are given little clue about the venue or the food, and the square, grey façade on Brompton Road gives no hints of what lies beyond.

    The latest addition to the Black and Blue group is on the King's Road on the site of old favourite, Picasso. It’s just been refitted – decked out in natural colours and low-level lighting. It’s cosy and intimate and, on...
