Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
Prices are as mouth-watering as the menu at Gordon Ramsay's flagship establishment, but it remains one of only two London restaurants to hold three Michelin stars, an endorsement it has maintained since 2001.

The Ledbury
Serving contemporary French cuisine created by Australian chef Brett Graham, The Ledbury features regularly in lists of the UK's top 10 restaurants. The atmosphere at this Notting Hill landmark is relaxed and the service silky-smooth.
127 Ledbury Road, London W11 2AQ
The Araki
Japanese chef Mitsuhiro Araki had already achieved three Michelin stars for his Tokyo sushi bar before he closed it down and moved to London. The wine list here is small, the seating is limited, and the prices are among the highest - but so are the plaudits for this world-leading Mayfair restaurant.
12 New Burlington Street, London W1S 3BF
The Glasshouse
This stablemate of Wandsworth's long-established Chez Bruce offers French and modern European cuisine. Located not far from Kew's botanical gardens, The Glasshouse is unassuming in appearance, but the food has continued to garner praise since its opening nearly two decades ago.
14 Station Parade, Kew TW9 3PZ
Pidgin
Pidgin restaurant serves a four-course menu that changes each week, along with the wine and cocktail list. Occupying a tiny shopfront in Hackney, the food is described as modern English with an Asian influence. Regulars compare the convivial ambience to being at a great dinner party.
52 Wilton Way, London E8 1BG
Gymkhana
Based in Mayfair, the epicentre of London's fine dining scene, Gymkhana opened in 2013, and its Indian food takes inspiration from colonial gymkhana clubs. The dishes are modern Indian, based on regional masalas and marinades, and the portions are generous.

Outlaw's at the Capital
Founded 2012 by Nathan Outlaw, who made a reputation at his two-starred restaurant in Cornwall, this traditional-looking Knightsbridge eatery aims to source the freshest and best seafood and to showcase it in a range of original dishes.
22-24 Basil Street, London SW3 1AT
Trinity
Serving cutting-edge British and modern European food, Clapham's Trinity has been praised for its balance between smart and casual. In 2015 chef Adam Byatt celebrated the restaurant's tenth anniversary by opening Upstairs, a more relaxed complement to the downstairs operation.
4 The Polygon, Clapham SW4 0JG
Lima
Peru came to London several years ago with the arrival in Fitzrovia of Lima. The beautifully arranged food is densely tasty, and includes sea bass tiraditos, logo salted (stir-fried steak), and black bream ceviche with avocado.
31 Rathbone Place, London W1T 1JH
Murano
Gordon Ramsay protegee Angela Hartnett is now a culinary star in her own right, and Murano reflects the fact that she grew up alongside an Italian grandmother and aunts. The surroundings are elegant, the cooking is quality - and the set lunch is a bargain.
