Featured Fitzrovia Restaurants
1. Pied À Terre
French restaurant in Fitzrovia
34 Charlotte St - W1
“David Moore’s gastronomic home has stood the test of time through many chefs that have gone on to star elsewhere”. All reports on this “world-class” Fitzrovia townhouse agree that – with the help of Asimakis Chaniotis at the stoves (since October 2017) – “it is amazing how standards have been maintained” with “creative cuisine that’s delicious but not fussy”. “Friendly guidance from the knowledgeable and engaging sommelier” is another plus in navigating an “exceptional” wine list, with “interesting and well-priced vintages from unusual places”. Gripes about the ambience were largely absent this year, with typical feedback describing it as “always elegant, always stylish”. Top Tip: “the space at the front of the restaurant is more crowded – ask for the back room when booking”.
2. Mac & Wild
Scottish restaurant in Fitzrovia
65 Great Titchfield St - W1
“Venison cooked in a variety of ways” sits alongside Scottish shorthorn beef, oysters and salmon at this “passionate but unpretentious” Fitzrovia three-year-old, which also has a sibling at Devonshire Square, near Liverpool Street. Owner Andy Waugh’s Scottish family estate is the source for much of the produce.
3. Hunter 486, The Arch London
British, Modern restaurant in Fitzrovia
50 Cumberland Pl - W1
Named after the 1950s dialling code for Marylebone, this Marble Arch hotel restaurant has a 'Best of British' menu that includes fish 'n' chips and afternoon tea. There's a Martini bar and Champagne Lounge should you feel in need of a tipple.
4. Obicà
Italian restaurant in Fitzrovia
11 Charlotte St - W1
The best food in Italy is fresh, simple and true to its roots. Obicà Charlotte Street is the home of authentic Italian food in Fitzrovia, bringing local workers and visitors together in stylish, relaxed surroundings. Our customers enjoy escaping the hustle and bustle of Oxford St...
5. Noizé
French restaurant in Fitzrovia
39 Whitfield St - W1T
A particularly “excellent choice of wines both by the glass and the bottle” and “seamless and friendly service” are features of this quite small (36-seat) and agreeably “unfussily decorated” Fitzrovia newcomer (on the former site of Dabbous, RIP) – no surprises, perhaps, as its patron Mathieu Germond is a former co-owner and manager of nearby Pied à Terre. When it comes to the chef Ed Dutton’s “imaginative” modern French cuisine, all reports agree results are “excellent” going on “exceptional”. (There’s also a basement bar).
6. Kaffeine
Sandwiches, cakes, etc restaurant in Fitzrovia
66 Great Titchfield St - W1
“Some of the best coffee shops anywhere!” – this Aussie/Kiwi-owned duo are “fabulous independents” ranking in London’s very top tier, with their “delicious sarnies and salads” and addictive coffees from a regularly changing selection of suppliers. “Great vibe at both locations” too.
7. Kaffeine
Sandwiches, cakes, etc restaurant in Fitzrovia
15 Eastcastle St - W1
“Some of the best coffee shops anywhere!” – this Aussie/Kiwi-owned duo are “fabulous independents” ranking in London’s very top tier, with their “delicious sarnies and salads” and addictive coffees from a regularly changing selection of suppliers. “Great vibe at both locations” too.
8. Bubbledogs, Kitchen Table
Fusion restaurant in Fitzrovia
70 Charlotte St - W1
“The most memorable meal ever, for all the right reasons!” – James Knappett’s multi-course set meal, prepared in front of just 20 diners sitting around a horseshoe bar in Fitzrovia, is a “fun and fascinating spectacle”, producing “utterly astonishing”, “truly superb food”. “Kinda expensive... but very, very worthwhile to visit once for the experience”. Arrival is equally unusual, through the hotdog-and-Champagne bar that shares the premises (see also Bubbledogs). STOP PRESS: On October 1 2018, Michelin surprised everyone by awarding Kitchen Table two stars – one of their better awards of recent times.
9. Honey & Co
Middle Eastern restaurant in Fitzrovia
25a Warren St - W1
“It’s hard to get a table… and a tight fit if you do”, but Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich’s deceptively ordinary looking little Warren Street café punches well above its weight with its “amazingly friendly” service, and “exotic” and “sumptuous” Middle Eastern dishes – “a rare combination of simplicity and outstanding realisation”. “A gem for any meal between breakfast (al fresco!) and late dinner.”
10. Bubbledogs
American restaurant in Fitzrovia
70 Charlotte St - W1
Sandia Chang’s “buzzy if slightly cramped” Fitzrovia haunt (a unique double act with husband, James Knappett’s fine-dining Kitchen Table, see also) is an unlikely success. As concepts go, hot dogs and Champagne make an “odd couple” – “the dogs are great” “but the real star is the range of fizz – lots of small producers and excellent variety, at good prices”.
