You won't find any Pad Thai here.This is one of the absolute cosiest pubs in London, found inside a grade II listed building and complete with fireplaces and a more formal dining room. Steven Joyce

Restaurants.

Sitting in a converted stable block on a quirky corner of Marylebone High Street, grab the best seat in the house — the arch-windowed table that overlooks St Marylebone Church gardens — and settle in for what's bound to be a few leisurely hours of wine, fish, meat, cheese, and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.If you've ever thought "why can't I eat pancakes for every meal?" Slightly more formal, it features a lot of the same dishes (such as the beef shin ragu), and you can actually book a table.Hotel restaurants may not typically be the most attractive dining destinations, but the Michelin-starred Seven Park Place by William Drabble, hidden away inside the chic and cosy St. James's Hotel & Club, is certainly an exception to the rule.

However, the food from Executive Chef Vivek Singh and the service are both warm and more than welcoming.Formerly called Strut & Cluck, this is a cozy spot for some proper home cooking from the eastern Mediterranean, packed with herbs and spices.

While the Druid Street (Bermondsey) location is only open on weekends, there's now a permanent bakery location in the quaint Neal's Yard selling delicious loaves of bread like sourdough and rye, pastries, and granolas.Israeli-British chef Yotam Ottolenghi put Mediterranean cooking on the map in London, and the Ottolenghi resaurants (of which there are four) don't dissappoint if you're looking for fresh, healthy dishes. I don't gravitate towards KFC or a chicken shop after a night out.
