Joe Allen
This long-established late-night (open till 01:00 most nights) restaurant is always packed with West End actors and crew members and remains star-spotters' paradise. There's a real buzz here and it gets crowded, so book ahead. Starters and main dishes (lamb chops, grilled halibut etc) are varied, but you won't find its legendary burgers on the menu; just ask. Come here too for breakfast (from 08:00 weekdays) or weekend brunch (from 11:30).
The menu isn't cheap, but you're paying for atmosphere, the late opening hours and some great star-spotting opportunities.

Christopher's
This sleek American bar and grill is housed in a vast Georgian mansion just off the Strand. Its interior is suitably grand, with a busy downstairs bar and a stylish upstairs dining room, where classic but clever dishes such as blackened salmon with jambalaya risotto are served up next to a wonderful array of gargantuan USDA steaks and surf and turf combinations. Brunch (11:30 to 15:30) at the weekend pulls in the crowds.

Harlem
The funky feel, chunky chandeliers and smiling staff are just the first things that might impress you about this excellent restaurant serving black American cuisine. The menu is just as noteworthy, including such exotica as buttermilk fried chicken, fried catfish and chicken and shrimp gumbo. It's a great place for a meal, and breakfast is served until 18:00 every day.

Arkansas Café
Good ole down-home Arkansas barbecue is what is served up in this unprepossessing unit on the edges of Spitalfields Market. Whether you're tucking into platters of pork ribs, corn-fed chicken or steak, you can rest assured they'll be of truly excellent quality, with lots of potatoes, coleslaw and other stuff on the side.

Tinseltown
Tinseltown is an American-style basement diner, serving pretty average pastas, burgers and grills. But its big advantage is the fact that it is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, which is a boon to the after-club crowds who are looking for no-frills recovery food rather than an exquisite gourmet meal.
