Best for a Business Dinner

Which is the most glamorous city in the world? Which city has the best restaurants? Yes, it’s London. As ever, fashion, art, celebrity and food walk hand in hand. Top restaurants showcase the finest food and drink available and provide a backdrop for the fabulous folk who live and do business in London.

Asia De Cuba

To get to Asia De Cuba you must walk into the world of the uber-cool St Martin's Lane Hotel. The restaurant and its staff are fresh, funky and beautifully turned out. The yummy food is great for sharing and the cocktail list is legendary.

Le Gavroche

So famous, so special, so classy, so good! There are not many restaurants as famous as Le Gavroche. Everything at this restaurant is perfect without being intrusive or cloying – the service, the unbelievable food and the location. You'll see a great cross-section of people at Le Gavroche – those who visit every month eat alongside people who've saved up for a special occasion.

Benares

Benares is an Indian restaurant which is about as far away from a vindaloo and poppadom as it's possible to be. Led by award-winning celebrity chef Atul Kochhar, Benares in Berkeley Square serves up his native food with a European twist. Mouth-watering highlights include roast Romney Marsh lamb rump on rosemary and garlic chickpeas; pan-griddled tiger prawns with carom seeds, peppers and caramelised onion sauce and the spice-crusted Scottish scallops with grape and mint dressing.

Gordon Ramsay at Claridges

If you want to impress, it's got to be Gordon Ramsay at Claridges. Walking through the hotel's amazing Art Deco foyer to the restaurant is a treat in itself. The modern European cuisine is superb; served in a set meal format and entirely dazzling.

Zuma

London's love affair with classy Japanese food started with Nobu. Zuma presents similar levels of quality and innovation but in a slightly more relaxed setting. This restaurant is always buzzing; there’s a great bar for meeting up, a brilliant sushi bar and fabulous open plan dinning room. The food, cocktail and sake menus are long and complex but they're worth concentrating on!
