Gymkana contemporary Indian restaurant. The restaurant looks very colonial and is been inspire by the private club of the high Indian society. the best indian food I taste outside India. Take one of the testing menu ( 6 courses , small portion) is the best choice to experience the India delicate cuisine. I particularly been impress by the Potato Chat (with caramel).
Hawksmoor, steak house. Seven dials. Excellent meat. It is located in the basement. Best to go when is it not sunny outside.
City Social, chic sophisticated restaurant and bar in the city with a view on the famous Gerkin. Jason Atherton new venue is going to be a success. His cuisine and service are as good as you expected. Make sure you visit the toilet.
Peyote Mayfair, Mexican restaurant. The best in the restaurant is the collections of Mexican Skulls on the wall. The food is average, the interior design not spectacular. Refuse to be seated in the basement.

Otto's Restaurant: old French cuisine that you will almost impossible to find taste across the channel or may be at the mythic Tour d'Argent. And it is a German who bring this piece of French culinary culture to London! Canard a la press is the signature dish, you need to order it when you book. It is delicious and spectacular.
