ROWLEY'S
So often I head out for dinner and order a steak and receive several up-turned noses for ordering chips (a food critic ordering chips pah!) But I dare you to find anything that goes quite as well with a hefty steak. Luckily for me I have found a place where they encourage this kind of behaviour. Rowley’s, tucked round the back of Piccadilly, provided the perfect setting for myself and guest to gorge ourselves on comfort food (including sticky toffee pudding) after an August down pour. The steak is what Rowley’s is famed for with its 36-year-old reputation still attracting new customers. We ordered the house special of Entrecôte which, is served in a sharing dish (where you have ample opportunity to sneak more than your fair share) and is served with unlimited fries that could very well be the tastiest I’ve had in months. It seems I am not alone in my quest for a carb loaded side. You can have your chip and eat it too.

THE PROVIDORES
It is not uncommon to expect small portions at a fancy restaurant, however at this one you’re allowed to order more than one! The Providores in trendy Marylebone is perfect for those of us who just can’t decide. Their extensive menu features miniature takes on classic dishes with the aim being to choose three mini meals. It is all a bit disorientating to begin with but you needn’t worry - the friendly staff are right on hand to explain all. I decided on a freekeh salad, followed by a blue cheese soufflé and the restaurant’s signature dish the beef pesto. I was not disappointed, the beef was cooked to absolute perfection and the garlic dressing had a divine flavour that sat beautifully with the silky pesto. The only problem I can see with the Providores is everything is tasty and small enough for you to be gagging for more. It will certainly keep me coming back with my order of three beef pestos at the ready.

VAPIANO
The laid back Italian restaurant, Vapiano has just opened a new restaurant in the heart of Soho offering a relaxed alternative to Italian dining. Perfect for the fussy group, the self-serve restaurant consists of food 'stations' including pizza, pasta, salad and desserts. The food couldn't be fresher with their signature pasta made in house that morning. You watch it cooked in front of you and are able to control seasonings, including garlic and chilli, meaning there is little room for error. If you are stuck on what to order the friendly staff are brimming with well researched recommendations. It probably would make a tricky destination for a family as the self-service works on an individual basis, but for a hungry, post-work group of friends it's ideal. The only problem is resisting the allure of the Soho nightlife on the way out!

ON THE ROOF WITH Q
On the Roof with... is a campaign aiming to raise the steaks of rooftop dining and Q Grill has settled nicely on the panoramic rooftops of the legendary Selfridges. Offering an array of deliciously meaty treats the Q menu is innovating by which you want to eat it all. I opted for the smoked chicken salad to start but couldn't resist the flat iron steak with peppercorn butter for a main. Although I wasn't asked how I would like my steak I couldn't have hoped for a more flavoursome cut and the chips that accompanied it had a delightful curly fry nostalgia about them that saw both myself and my date clear our plates. The restaurant hosts the friendliest waiters I have met in a while, who are sure to keep you thoroughly hydrated... With views that stretch out over some of London's most spectacular views and a glass of wine in hand, you have to wonder if there is a better way to spend a Friday night.

BLUES KITCHEN
The Blues Kitchen has recently opened a second venue in trendy Shoreditch. Located on Curtain Road it is the East London sibling to the original Blues Kitchen which opened in Camden in 2009. The Blues Kitchen will offer Texan BBQ, live music seven nights a week, and showcase one of the biggest bourbon selections in the UK. Open daily for brunch, lunch and dinner, the Texan BBQ menu will feature cuts of beef and pork, smoked in-house for up to 16 hours over a blend of hickory, oak, mesquite and fruit woods, some imparting flavour and texture into the meat. Options include Smoke roasted chicken or Slow smoked beef brisket, all served with fries and slaw. A 110 gallon lobster tank, installed into centre of main bar as a unique design feature, will house live lobsters from Scotland, available to order. It is an all round treat whilst remaining unpretentious, hurry and get booked! We anticipate a big hit!

THE MAGAZINE RESTAURANT
The Magazine Restaurant is London's new cultural hub. Set in the heart of Kensignton Gardens this eatery oozes luxury. Offering some of the finest organic meat in the country supplied by the legendary Rhug Estate in Wales, and prepared by creative young chef Oliver Lange, this dining experience is a real treat. The menu includes some real culinary excellence such as the Boudin Noir and Lambsaddle cooked in Hay. What we love best is the menus variety including traditional bistro dishes, sharing plates and sushi. All finished off with coffee, chocolate, and popcorn, divine.
MARTHA CLIFF

PING PONG
The dim sum favourite, Ping Pong has just launched their new summer menu and we are already hooked! We are loving the beef fillet dumpling (pictured) it may look a little on the green side but be not fooled, it is deliciously fresh! Beef and wilted spinach are combined in a fresh spinach pastry, yum! Best of all they have just added three new fruity cocktails to their already extensive menu! Head down to Ping Pong for some fabulously fresh new flavours! You can thank us later.
MARTHA CLIFF

PREZZO
High street Italian, Prezzo, have just launched a new menu with an offering of flatbread pizzas and Italian wine. The flatbread is the perfect summer alternative, without lots of heavy mozzarella and topped with fresh salad it tastes surprisingly light with an interesting array of ingredients. We recommend the Prosciutto and Asparagus drizzled with mustard oil for a true summery taste. And what better way to compliment a Friday night treat than with a glass (or bottle) of a refreshing Soave.

JONES FAMILY PROJECT
The Jones Family Project have redefined the family-run restaurant. It was founded by a 'modern family' of tight-knit friends who have created a space to share their passion for food, drink and having a great time. The restaurant design constantly changes meaning that making it a regular haunt won't make it dull. Hearty food with a posh twist best describes the menu with truffled macaroni cheese and Brussel sprouts with avocados and pecans being popular side dishes.

ANGES DE SUCRE
Some may think that macaroons have had their moment but try these ones from Anges de Sucre and they'll think again. Anges de Sucre is a new boutique bakery in Kensington and they do macaroons with a difference. They create British macarons in London, unlike many French houses that transport their macarons from France or Switzerland to their London outposts, compromising freshness. They serve a curious collection of tempting flavours highlights including a Earl Grey tea-infused macaron, or the popular Cheeky Cazzamella which combines caramel from slowly browned sugar with a pinch of sea salt for texture, wrapped in a smooth white ganache. They make a marvelous if short lasting gift! A gift box of 18 macarons is priced at £37, or £16 for a gift box of seven macarons. Also available to buy individually at £1.75.
