TOP DRAWER: JESSE BURGESS AND WILL WARR’S FAVOURITE RESTAURANTS

Camille

Beautiful French bistro that doesn’t needlessly tie itself to one region. I don’t stop thinking about this one. 2-3 Stoney Street, SE1; camillerestaurant.co.uk

Ambassadors Clubhouse

Beautiful Punjabi cooking in a stunning room, left. Can’t knock the cocktails, either. 25 Heddon Street, W1; ambassadorsclubhouse.com

Kolae

Scorching southern Thai, regularly name-checked on Topjaw with good reason. 6 Park Street, SE1; kolae.com

Cinder

Distinct, inventive food done over wood that defies categorisation.

Worth a journey for. 66 Belsize Lane, NW3 and 5 St John’s Wood High Street, NW8; cinderrestaurant.co.uk

Dumplings’ Legend

A Soho classic, and as its name suggests, known for its fine dumplings, drawing recipes from across China. Light on frills, but not in a bad way. 15-16 Gerrard Street, W1; dumplingslegend.com
