Hi everyone! Every time I go to London, the same thing happens: I save a ridiculous number of restaurants and somehow convince myself I\u2019ll manage to try every one of them in three days. I never do, obviously, but the list keeps growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mainly keep the places where I genuinely ate well and the ones I still think about once I\u2019m home. This list moves from inventive Indian food and pasta in Soho to a dressier dinner in Mayfair and an excellent Neapolitan pizza. Four very different restaurants for different neighbourhoods and different moods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for breakfast, I also wrote about my favourite Shoreditch breakfast spots, Ozone Coffee and Beigel Bake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kricket, for inventive Indian food in London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with Kricket. When I first looked at the menu, I had no idea what to choose. It isn\u2019t simply a list of familiar dishes you order without reading the rest. The menu is built around plates for sharing, so, as usual, we ordered several and tried a bit of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

That is what I enjoyed about Kricket. The dishes arrive gradually, the flavours shift from one plate to the next, and dinner becomes far more interesting than ordering one main each and never looking at the other person\u2019s food again. Everything looked beautiful, but never at the expense of what was actually on the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tried both the Soho and Shoreditch restaurants. Neither the spaces nor the menus are identical: Soho is smaller, with a long counter facing the open kitchen, while Shoreditch is larger and easy to spot thanks to its pink frontage. A perfectly good excuse to visit both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right next door to Kricket Soho is SOMA, the hidden bar where we went for a drink<\/a>. It makes it very easy to have dinner and carry on with the evening without even changing streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kricket Soho<\/strong>
12 Denman Street, London W1D 7HJ
Underground: Piccadilly Circus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kricket Shoreditch<\/strong>
35\u201342 Charlotte Road, London EC2A 3PB
Underground: Old Street<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would book ahead, especially for Soho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polpo, for pasta and red wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I mainly saved Polpo for the spaghetti and meatballs. Priorities firmly in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love this sort of Italian restaurant, where you order pasta, a few small plates and a carafe of red. The dining room is dark, with wooden tables and candles, and we went for dinner, just the two of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, while Greg chose the beef rigatoni. I obviously tried his, and honestly, it was very good. Good enough to make me slightly regret my spaghetti, even though they were the entire reason I\u2019d chosen the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Polpo<\/figure>
\"Neapolitan<\/figure>
\"Gratin<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Polpo is the sort of place I\u2019d save for dinner in Soho: a table full of sharing plates and red wine. Nothing complicated, just exactly what I wanted that evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polpo Soho<\/strong>
41 Beak Street, London W1F 9SB
Underground: Oxford Circus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dover, for an evening in Mayfair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Dover was the one I\u2019d saved for a slightly dressier evening. The restaurant is in Mayfair, with white tablecloths, low lighting and, best of all, a wall of records beside the turntables. Naturally, I immediately checked what they had chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The room feels very elegant without making you worry that you must sit perfectly still once you arrive. You can dress up, order a drink and simply enjoy being there. That was easily my favourite part of the dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ordered the lasagne. Well\u2026 it was a lasagne. It was good, but I honestly expected a little more given the restaurant and its Mayfair address. What stayed with me wasn\u2019t the dish so much as the room, the records and the excuse to pull out a great jacket for dinner in Mayfair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Technics

I wouldn\u2019t choose The Dover every night, but I would save it for dinner \u00e0 deux or an evening when you fancy dressing up. The restaurant currently has a dress code, so it is worth making a little effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dover<\/strong>
33 Dover Street, London W1S 4NF
Tube: Green Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking is preferred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rudy\u2019s, for Neapolitan pizza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And finally, Rudy\u2019s, because some evenings all I want is a really good pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Rudy\u2019s, the base is thin in the middle, the crust is properly puffed and the bake is exactly how I like it. I often choose a margherita, because the simplest pizza usually tells you very quickly whether the dough and tomato sauce are any good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Soho restaurant is lively and fills up quickly, but the service keeps moving. It is the one I save whenever we fancy pizza before carrying on with the evening nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rudy's Pizza Napoletana<\/strong>
80 Wardour Street, London W1F 0TF
Underground: Oxford Circus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which one should you choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, it depends on the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kricket when I want several plates and inventive Indian cooking. Polpo for spaghetti and meatballs, rigatoni and red wine. The Dover for the room, the records and a dressier evening. Rudy\u2019s when all we want is a really good pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could add plenty more \u2014 my phone is full of saved restaurants \u2014 but these four already give you options for different neighbourhoods and moods. You can also find the other places I love in my London guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favourite restaurant in London?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need to book at Kricket?<\/strong>

Kricket takes bookings and also keeps some space for walk-ins. For the Soho restaurant, I prefer to book ahead.<\/p> <\/div>

What is the difference between Kricket Soho and Kricket Shoreditch?<\/strong>

Soho is smaller, with a long counter facing the open kitchen. Shoreditch is larger, has its distinctive pink frontage and is also home to Kricket\u2019s Kaf\u00e9. Menus and opening hours vary between the two.<\/p> <\/div>

Does Polpo accept reservations?<\/strong>

Yes. Polpo Soho takes online bookings, and I would book ahead for dinner or at the weekend.<\/p> <\/div>

Is The Dover expensive?<\/strong>

The Dover is in Mayfair, and prices are higher than at the other restaurants in this guide. As the menu can change, it is worth checking it before you book.<\/p> <\/div>

Does Rudy\u2019s take bookings?<\/strong>

Yes. Rudy\u2019s Soho takes bookings and also keeps a few tables available for walk-ins.<\/p> <\/div>

What are cicchetti at Polpo?<\/strong>

Cicchetti are small Venetian plates made for sharing, rather like tapas.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
