50 Kalò
££Ciro Salvo's London outpost, fourth in Europe in the 2026 rankings and a rare high-end pizzeria in the middle of tourist London.
Central location makes it the most reachable of the top-ranked pizzerias.
Common Breads
£Flatbreads and manakish straight out of the oven - a bakery counter rather than a restaurant, and cited by more guides than most restaurants here.
Corinthia London
££££Tea under a Baccarat crystal chandelier with a Steinway playing, and a tea master who weighs and blends each infusion to order.
Dammika's
££The chicken lamprais is why people come: rice boiled in stock, then a meat curry, aubergine pickle, caramelised seeni sambol, a fish cutlet and a boiled egg all folded into a banana leaf and baked, wh
Dragon Inn Club
£££The dearest broths in the corpus: a fish maw and chicken soup base alongside coconut chicken, beef tallow red soup and tomato, served from a dragon's-head pot.
Gopal's Corner
£Roti canai clapped and folded to order, served with mutton, chicken or dhal curry - from the founder of Soho's Roti King.
Langosteria London
££££The Milan seafood group's first London site, inside the Old War Office - spaghetti with clams and sea urchin, and prices to match the address.
Locatelli at The National Gallery
£££Giorgio and Plaxy Locatelli's return after Locanda Locatelli closed, on the mezzanine of the Sainsbury Wing. Handmade pasta is the reason to go - the cappellacci stuffed with peas in particular.
80 seats. Runs on gallery hours, so dinner is early: 11:30-19:30 Sun-Thu, to 22:15 Fri, to 20:15 Sat. Bar Giorgio on the ground floor does espresso and maritozzi for a shorter stop.
Quilon
££££Michelin-starred cooking from Kerala and the Malabar coast - the one starred kitchen in London doing south-western seafood rather than northern grills.
Regency Cafe
£A 1946 black-tiled caff behind Westminster where your name is shouted across the room when the food is up. Cash-friendly, queue out the door, no concessions to anyone.
Closes in the afternoon and all day Sunday. The queue moves fast but forms early at weekends.
Sibin
£££A small bar tucked inside the Great Scotland Yard Hotel, built around heritage whiskies, wines and Champagnes, with cocktail masterclasses and live music.
The Cinnamon Club
££££Inside the Grade II listed old Westminster Library, bookshelves still in place - the most unusual dining room of any Indian restaurant in London.
The Spy Bar
££££Two basement rooms numbered 006 and 007 in the Old War Office, where MI5 and MI6 agents' identity papers were kept. The order is a martini.
