Eight lists our editors keep up to date. Start with what you're in the mood for, then pick a time.
Short menus, open kitchens and a wine list you'll want to ask about.
Big rooms, proper service and a reason to dress up a little.
Hand the evening over to the kitchen. Worth every course.
Charcoal, curry leaves and chilli: Thai grills, Sri Lankan kitchens and Bombay cafés.
Flatbreads, grills and sharing plates from Andalusia to Tehran.
Hand-rolled pasta, long lunches and a very good tiramisu.
Pies, game, roasts and the restaurants that made British food worth crossing town for.
For one or two: watch the kitchen, eat early or late, no fuss.
