1 Lombard Street
A totally impressive temple of power dining, 1 Lombard St used to be a bank. Now it's an airy, Michelin-starred restaurant (thanks to chef Herbert Berger) and serves a great combination of seafood, meat and poultry. The menu includes fillets of lamb, beef, venison and roast turbot fish on the bone.

Delfina
It's a crying shame that this upmarket artists' canteen with a woman chef at the helm serves just weekday lunches and one dinner a week as it really does offer some fine modern international cuisine (emphasis on poultry, fish and vegetables). The space is wonderful - large and light-filled - and the menu changes fortnightly. Coffee and cakes are served at the Studio Café Monday to Friday from to and to .

L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
The multiple Michelin star-holding French chef who taught Gordon Ramsay and other top London chefs is taking them on, with this sister to his Parisian restaurant on a historically unlucky site near the Ivy. Robuchon's food has won plaudits, but the original no-booking policy for the informal, open-plan dining room downstairs was abandoned quickly for lunchtime - and by now might also have been for dinner.

Lounge Café
As much a bar as a place to eat, this self-styled 'original urban retreat' has breakfast, day and evening menus with everything from vegetarian fry-ups and burgers to meze platters. It's an excellent place for a cocktail and a nosh and there's live music.

Oxo Tower Restaurant & Brasserie
The Oxo Tower is about event dining, with the emphasis generally more on the event than the food. In the stunning glassed-in terrace you have a front-row seat to probably the best view in London here, and you're paying for this (not the fusion food) handsomely in the brasserie and stratospherically in the restaurant. Fish dishes - smoked haddock souffle, Japanese-style scallops, Thai red curry sea bass - make up half the menu.

Plateau
Treat yourself to a delicious meal among Canary Wharf's corporate crowd, in a room with striking Finnish chairs and glass walls.
-
Skylon
This cavernous restaurant on the top of the refurbished Royal Festival Hall is divided into grill and fine-dining sections with a large bar in the centre of the room separating the two. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of the Thames and the City, and the decor of muted colours and period chairs harkens back to the 1951 Festival of Britain when the hall opened. Try the stuffed baby squids with preserved lemon and the smoked halibut with spring artichokes. Weekday lunch is around £20 for two/three courses.

Village East
A more chi-chi venue from the Garrison's owners, this place feels as New York as its name implies. Tasty food ranges from blini and tempura oysters to monkfish and lamb.
