Champagne + Fromage - Covent Garden. Some days call for a celebration, a little extra sparkle, some wow yet comfort delicacy, a little more sun and cheerfulness.

Champagne + Fromage - Covent Garden

I find mine at Champagne + Fromage, a couple of streets away from Covent Garden. Close enough to make you feel in the buzzing heart of London, far enough to get away from restaurants filled with tourists. It has a French bistrot feel, the warmth of wooden tables and this special red that will get glossier with as time passes. A beautiful line of glasses glistens above your head, the air is filled with delicious smells of saucissons and Basque cheese. The team is already smiling at you. they know just what you need. Rather than a wine bar, this cute little address has opted for the champagne option. If your knowledge is minimal, fear not.

The menu also is thought for sharing - how about a board of cheese or charcuterie? And although your eyes are already sparkling from the brilliant selection of dishes, it is the dessert that really will leave you speechless. Surprise Menu and prices Dans le Noir ? Guests can choose only among a limited choice of surprise Menus.

Surprise Menu and prices Dans le Noir ?

The idea is that each guest should not know exactly what he or she will be eating… just the general category. It’s all about the flavours, the textures and the seasonings. It is an old principle often used in the industry, called “blind tasting”. The concept behind our menu is to re-educate our customers’ palates and minds, to make them truly experience the flavours being presented. Totally deprived of light, your eyes can’t deceive you, so therefore all preconceptions are gone. The Surprise Menus are adapted in various alternatives according to the seasons. Coffee, tea and other hot drinks, for safety reasons, are not served in the dark but are available in the lit bar at the end of the experience.

British Pullman – a must on your to do list

The feeling you are travelling back through time, to the age of luxury trains, when first class really was a lifestyle. You picture the passengers in their 1920s clothes. At the time you would get on board the Golden Arrow, the Brighton or Bournemouth belle or even the Queen of Scots. The leather suitcases would have shown bright stickers of European cities, famous hotels.

Palaces on wheels, you see. This branch of the Orient Express faded away in the 1960s – aeroplane flights had become more fashionable and affordable. Euphoria starts as soon as the postman delivers your tickets – in their leather wallet. 15 Broadwick Street W1F 0DL.

Floors 38 & 39 110 Bishopsgate EC2N 4AY

That’s not an eye-opener these days, but the entrance to this expensive New York import is. Take the glass elevator that clings to the side of Heron Tower, shoot up 38 floors in a few stomach-flipping seconds, then walk into a bar from which you can practically browse workers’ emails in the Gherkin. Go on through to the double-height glasshouse of a restaurant, with its magnificent bamboo-lattice ceiling, and your table will likely face north across Spitalfields towards Alexandra Palace or east over Stepney and out to Essex.

Les Trois Garçons. Time Out says Posted: Fri Jul 20 2012 London’s most extravagant restaurant interior gives the eye no idea where to settle.

Les Trois Garçons

Inside this former pub is an entire zoo of stuffed, ceramic and other animals (a lion, a swordfish, an antelope with a tiara…), cascading glass, dangling handbags, giant, unearthly purple flowers and more – all to sustain the mood of ironic, decadent opulence. As a restaurant, Les Trois Garçons has two sides. It buzzes at night, when hip crowds come to enjoy inventive modern French cuisine at lofty prices. 1 Wilbraham Place SW1X 9AE.

33 King Street WC2E 8JD. Time Out says Posted: Tue Oct 16 2012 Romantic settings don’t get more splendidly over-the-top than this. Take your pick from the wood-panelled restaurant or the atmospheric conservatory, bedecked in a forest of fake white blossoms that seem to extend into eternity as they bounce off the restaurant’s mirrors. Fairy lights, candles and a fireplace add to the soft focus vibe. On our early evening visit, tables were filled with mature couples and curious tourists. What do you think?

Berners Tavern is the third restaurant he’s opened in the West End this year; the other two, Little Social and Social Eating House, were very well received for their playful and appealing dishes.
