Maison Francois

Maison Francois

34 Duke Street, St James's, London, SW1Y 6DF

This sleek brasserie is one of London’s most popular French restaurants and for good reason - the sublime cooking manages to pay homage to French classics, without feeling stuffy, and the Maison Francois dessert trolley has become borderline iconic. Head downstairs and you’ll find Frank’s Wine Bar - a moody, industrial-chic Parisian wine bar that sits up to 40 for a special dinner.

The George

The George

55 Great Portland Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1W 7LQ

Downstairs, The George is a buzzy, atmospheric boozer, but upstairs you’ll find a number of stylish private rooms for hire. Our favourite is the Dining Room, decked out in forest green paint, with period features intact. The food is excellent too, with classic pub grub taken up a notch.

Big Easy Canary Wharf

Big Easy Canary Wharf

Park Level, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5AR

If it’s diner-style sharing platters of nachos, wings, barbecue ribs and burgers you want, look no further than this beloved barbecue joint. Big Easy has sites all over the city these days but Canary Wharf is especially striking, thanks to views of the wharf skyline, and the Captain’s Table - a 26-seater dining room, inspired by the wood-panelled dining rooms found on old 17th century ships.

Galvin La Chapelle

Galvin La Chapelle

35 Spital Square, Spitalfields, London, E1 6DY

We love Galvin La Chapelle, not just one of the most classically beautiful restaurants in London, but also one of the most delicious, thanks to a typical Galvin brothers menu of French-inspired brasserie cooking. The private dining space is lovely too - a semi-private spot under the arches of this Grade-II listed chapel, which sits up to 24 people on three long tables.
