The Restaurant Guide Restaurant Guide Restaurant Guide THE RESTAURANT GUIDE RESTAURANT GUIDE RESTAURANT GUIDE KEW BRIDGE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Kew has always been one of London’s most fashionable addresses. It’s hardly surprising that it can offer some of the local areas most exciting and varied choices for eating out. Choose from classic British menus, or tempting cuisines from around the world. Choose a sophisticated atmosphere, or a venue that is informal and lively. Choose elegant Michelin star restaurants or informal gastropubs. When it comes to dining, Kew Bridge really does offer the best of both worlds.

  • Tim Russell's 50 Recommended London Restaurants
    Tim Russell’s 50 recommended London restaurants I have had the opportunity of doing a few restaurant reviews over the years and I am often asked for recommendations in London especially from friends outside town. Anyway, with a natural bias to West London where I live, I thought it might be fun to put a list of my favourite restaurants onto my website in case it assists you in choosing a night out in town. So here it is and any feedback more than welcome. The restaurants have been set out in alphabetical order and split between the more expensive and the less expensive although I accept most are for special occasions. Bold type means it’s a particular favourite (around 5 in each section) and P, means reasonable parking after 6.30pm. Some recent 2014 changes e.g. Langan's Brasserie, The Ivy, Petrus and Gordon Ramsay are out while Shanghai Blues and Clos Maggiore are in. All very subjective of course so, as they say, don’t blame the juggler if you disagree with any recommendations. ££ 1 Assaggi – 39 Chepstow Place, W2, tel 7792 5501. One of the most difficult Italian restaurants to get into in London because it doesn’t seat many people. It is very informal but the service is very friendly and the food is quite excellent (from my favourite Pecorino starter to the sea bass) in this Bayswater Italian above a pub. Menu in Italian! Specials always good. Great for lunch and easier to get in then. Their one table for 6 very sought after.

  • Chelsea's Oldest Pub Is Set to Reopen Its Doors
    CHELSEA’S OLDEST PUB IS SET TO REOPEN ITS DOORS The Cross Keys pub undergoes a major refurbishment with fuse design+build project managing the fit out programme to unveil a new look for Chelsea’s oldest pub Nestled in London’s fashionable Chelsea, The Cross Keys, a 300 year-old pub that has served patrons from Dylan Thomas and Agatha Christie to Bob Marley and the Rolling Stones, is set to reopen early next year after a campaign by residents to keep their local pub out of the hands of developers and remain an integral part of their community. Local publicans, Mark Dyer and Eamonn Manson, the team behind Fulham’s renowned pubs, The Sands End and The Brown Cow, have now added the historical Cross Keys to their award-winning portfolio of gastropubs. The new owners have appointed fuse design+build to project manage the complete refurbishment and ensure the build project meets their design and performance specification using their signature style. They aim to restore the historic pub by the river to its former glory and combine a contemporary, chic antique look and rustic charm that is synonymous with their other highly successful pubs. “We want to maintain the magic of The Cross Keys,” says Manson, Co-founder of DM Group and head of design, “from the cozy old fireplace to the natural light of the back atrium, but recharge it with a contemporary look.” The new Cross Keys will feature an extensive range of real ales along with British fare- a top to tail menu that will include enticing pub classics as well as delicious signature dishes from executive chef, Oliver Marlowe, of Chez Bruce and The Sands End fame.

Assaggi is hardly a new comer but has reopened which is great news and I have added Clos Maggiore and Koffmans (French to the fore) are in along with three locals for me.

Anyway, with a natural bias to West London where I live, I thought it might be fun to put a list of my 50 or so of my favourite London restaurants onto my website in case it assists you in choosing a lunch or night out in town. A difficult task in this great city full of wonderful restaurants. Which is why the list creeps towards 60 names. Anyway, here it is.

Bold type means it’s one of my top 10 and P, means reasonable parking after 6.30pm. Bold type named restaurants within other reviews means they are elsewhere on my list. There are some fairly recent changes. Departures include Club Gascon (I have not been there for what seems like forever), Langan’s Brasserie (tired), The Ivy (not a patch on Le Caprice and well done for the franchises around town but it’s not the same), Petrus (expensive and pretentious), Enoteca Turi (moved from Putney), Shanghai Blues (my favourite restaurant in Holborn has closed sadly), San Remo in Barnes (closed after 27 years then reopened but new owners and not the same ) and Gaucho (I liked the one on the river at Richmond but the company went into administration sadly) are all out.
