(Bath Road Sheraton Hotel, Hayes in , United Kingdom)

The Sheraton Skyline at Heathrow, in which Aldende finds its home, serves a sophisticated, internati...onal clientele, and Aldende is generally a hit with all nationalities. It is a buzzy, modern restaurant featuring an eclectically interational menu - do we sense a theme developing here? The courses are divided into small and larger, rather than starters and mains. Considering that guests are bound to be suffering six kinds of jetlag, this elasticity of service is most welcome. It's a great place to do business, make friendly farewells before putting someone on a plane, or for falling into for some grownup relief after a day at Legoland. The menu features small courses like sauteed scallops with pea risotto, and Serrano ham and mash, larger courses include roast pork belly on apple, artichoke and veg hash, and game pie with rich gravy, roasted chestnut and potato and turnips cooked in cream. There is also a menu of simple grills served with a choice of eight sauces - including HP - and a nice selection of puds and cheeses. The recommended wines are helpful and the staff are friendly. Opening hours: Mon - Sun 6am - 11pm [moreless]

Brasserie St Quentin was one of the first brasseries in London serving le vrai cuisine bourgeois in ...very French style to great acclaim. Now re-acquired by its one of its original partners, Hugh O'Neill, the St Quentin is, dare we say it, better than ever. Yup, we dare. There's a fabulous French-ish eclectic menu created by the gifted hands of former Savoy chef Gary Durrant, served in a stylish and comfortably dressy brasserie dining room. The prices are hard to believe in this very expensive corner of the universe, two courses and a glass of wine for less than £20? Mon dieu. And the service is magnifique. Try gravadlax with potato rosti and honey and mustard sauce followed by poulet fermier dans son jus followed by lemon tart with orange yoghurt ice cream. The good wine list is reasonably priced, too.

(Hotel Russell, Russell Square in London, United Kingdom)

The delightfully-named Fitzroy Dolls is the belle of the dining ball at Hotel Russell, a magnificent... terracotta Grade 2 listed building close to Covent Garden. A predominance of marble and natural light lend a fresh, airy feel to this traditional dining experience. Grand pillars lead the eye to the room’s focal point; a grand Victorian marble fireplace. A generous menu features an eclectic selection of dishes. You might start with carpaccio of beef showered in pecorino shavings, then move on to a main course of seared yellow fin tuna with pickled vegetable shavings and tender squid noodles. To finish, may we recommend a baked chocolate brownie with marmalade ice cream. Smartly-dressed staff provide a consistently friendly, chatty service. There is a wide selection of cocktails.
