A few of my favourite places when I want to treat myself to a proper lunch…
Josephine Marylebone: Fancy lunch in Paris without having to get on the Eurostar? Josephine’s Bistro hits the spot. Brasserie seasonal favourites and where chefs go when they want proper French food. 6-8 Blandford St.
La Famiglia: Neighbourhood favourite La Famiglia is a family run Chelsea restaurant off King’s Road serving some of the best Italian food in London. A welcoming local institution. 7 Langton St.
ABC Kitchen: For elegant modern cuisine in a relaxed setting overlooking Hyde Park, ABC Kitchen is my go to. I love their small plates including a tasty greenpea humus and elevated tacos. Do leave room for dessert. The Emory Old Barrack Yard
Le Relais de Venise: For a simple but hearty lunch, only a plate of steak and fries will do. L’Entrecote in Marylebone takes that classic French dish and serves only that. You pick how you want it cooked and it is served with a house sauce and all the frittes you can eat. 120 Marylebone Lane
Locatelli in the National Gallery: A perfect location for lunch after seeing one of the National Gallery’s renowned exhibitions, or a browse through the museum’s impressive art collection on a rainy day. Modern Italian menu and Classic Italian art. National Gallery Sainsbury Wing
