Lazybones is a cool venue, without being pretentious, and a great place to kick back and relax with your mates.And though, like our popcorn, the food was a mixed bag a few adjustments and this cinema-style diner will be fit for a Hollywood star.

Opinion on the once unstoppable train that is the London burger trend is starting to divide, but Lucy Self still finds herself happiest with a handfull of mince in a bun, especially at Hache

The Malmaison London may not seem like the most obvious place for Sunday luncheon; however the restaurant of this boutique hotel has introduced a new three course menu to tickle the taste buds each and every Sunday. Leanne Bennett finds out if its mal or bon.

Although it carries his name, “Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Cornwall” is not actually one of Jamie’s restaurants. So what is it, who’s the chef and, most importantly, is the food any good?

The original Sushinho was really more a bar with food than a restaurant, and so dark I had to view the menu by the light of my mobile phone. In this Sushinho the bar is thankfully downstairs, allowing the restaurant to be just that.

Overall we’ve really enjoyed the evening. Not only have the management team mastered the cooking technique but they’ve also embraced the term Asado in its other meaning, that of being a social event. You can expect a lot more to come from this restaurant, not just in the menu offering.

If you are able to prepare yourself for a slightly pricy wine list and the possibility of a minor misstep with the odd dish then you’ll put yourself in the way of some very good cooking

Covent Garden and Shaftesbury Avenue around 7pm are packed with pre-theatre diners wandering about in increasing desperation trying to decide where to eat. Many, if not most, are concerned about delays and will opt for a chain serving steaks or burgers. The food may be boring but it’s worth it for the reassurance of speed. St James, the first purpose-built theatre complex to open in London for 30 years, has a solution; a brasserie downstairs, a restaurant upstairs and shows for all sorts

It’s a loud, pipey bar when you first step in, with huge suit backs and a bit of braying from the nearby Holborn law chambers, but the punters seem friendly enough and were in good spirits the Thursday night we went.

With cooking that has the flavours, charm and simplicity of a Brawn or a Terroir, and a style that makes you smile despite yourself, The Shed has plenty to recommend it to locals. Even scenesters should find it’s well worth pedaling the single geared bike over to Notting Hill for.
