From Michelin-starred fine dining to beloved local favourites
A sun-drenched southern Italian dining room directly opposite Harrods, where Rome-born chef Stefano Tortelli runs a kitchen built around Amalfi-Coast cooking, hand-rolled pasta and a daily seafood display.

A Russian restaurant designed to feel like dining in your (very wealthy) Russian grandmother's parlour. The borscht, pelmeni, and beef stroganoff are all excellent, and the vodka list is predictably superb.
