(243 Brompton Road in London, United Kingdom)

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. Please note credit cards details are required and compulsory to secure the booking of groups of 6 to 8 peaople.For groups of 8 and over please note you have to pre-order the menu before the date.For cancellations or no shows, we will charge £20 per person. Opening hours: Mon - Sun 12pm - 3pm & 6pm - 10:30pm [moreless]

(459 Upper Richmond Road West, 1 Grand Parade in London, United Kingdom)

Enjoy a cool Pinot Grigio in the garden on a summer's day or warm yourself in winter with a Chianti.... Leo Giannini, Leonardo's proprietor, has an extensive and carefully chosen wine list with an understandable bias towards his native Italy. The menu too favours Italy, but there are conventional steaks and daily specials to enjoy as well. [moreless]

(1 Great George Street, Westminster in London, United Kingdom)

A contemporary brasserie near St James' Park that you really must try for yourself. The setting is v...ery stylish with the brasserie being housed in the magnificent four-domed Edwardian One Great George Street building This modern, relaxed eaterie really does attract a great cross section of the great and good near Westminster, from tourists to movers and shakers. The menu is a delicious Modern European which changes seasonally and to which are added daily specials. Try to start the marinated queen scallops, with honey, lime, chilli, cucumber and noodles, next the seared beef tournedos with pan-fried foie gras, bone marrow and bordelaise jus. Then to finish don’t go past the chocolate mocha tart with espresso ice cream. Vegetarians are well catered for there's a loyalty scheme to tempt you back again and again. Opening hours: Mon - Fri 12pm - 2.30pm Closed evenings and weekends [moreless]

(Tideway Yard, Mortlake High Street in London, United Kingdom)

A long established neighbourhood brasserie, The Depot enjoys a just about perfect location near the ...centre of beautiful Barnes. Nestling in the Tideway Yard, a renovated Victorian cobbled courtyard, it forms part of an award-winning Victorian conversion with a secluded south-facing entrance patio - a deeply desirable fume-free alternative to the high street. Those prone to waves of nostalgia (and relaxation for that matter) will love its highly polished parquet flooring and worn out wood furniture. High ceilings and exposed brick arches link three main dining areas, while a conservatory runs the length of the room framing the magnificent views of the Thames. Best book the much-coveted patio or river view tables, where sunny lunches often lead the type of sunsets that make you glad to be alive. An essential part of the exquisite experience, of course, is the food. May we recommend sweet figs stuffed with Gorgonzola, wrapped with smoked pancetta to start, and bacon-wrapped monkfish, cannelini bean stew with sun-dried tomato ravioli as main course. Opening hours: Mon - Fri 12pm - 3pm & 6pm - 10:30pmSat 12pm - 4pm & 6pm - 11pmSun 12pm - 4pm & 6pm - 10:30pm [moreless]
