Clare Smyth is the chef that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to cater their wedding; she also cooked for David Beckham's 50th. More importantly, she is the only female chef in the UK to hold three Michelin stars, for her restaurant Core. The sustainably minded seasonal menu might include Isle of Harris scallops, Sharpham Park spelt and Rhug Estate venison – served with a vinegar spritz or fermented crisp flourish. An all-out tasting menu experience.

This Greek spot has a bit more of a party vibe than Mazi, thanks to a late-night bar downstairs. Here, the Greek salad features great slabs of barrel-aged feta sitting on top of skinned tomatoes, while piles of soutzoukakia meatballs are warmly spiced. There are also dishes that owe almost nothing to Greece such as truffle chips and yellowtail served with dashi, but we love it regardless. A chic space with agave cocktails in the basement that will guarantee a good night.
