Bonnie Gull Soho, restaurant

Their tagline is London's freshest fish, but fans of Bonnie Gull Fitzrovia over the past five years will tell you there's more to the restaurant than just fresh fish. Informality's order of the day, and you're unlikely to recognise traditional British fish dishes on the menu.

Everything's served on small plates, designed for sharing, and over just 23 covers in Soho, you'll have to put the time in and plan for a visit. Dishes are theatrically influenced, and celebrate best of British fish with a contemporary edge. Instagram tells us that new and exciting dishes for Soho include scallops served with wild mushroom, and mussels served as-they-come, served still in the tin foil they were cooked in.

Off-menu dishes will be served for those in-the-know, and a group of bar stools will get a best view of the action in the kitchen as an added treat. Don't miss their speciality Bloody Mary, served with an oyster on top!
