From the coolest new joints in Shoreditch to the swankiest Mayfair establishments: these are best of London's restaurants: autumn 2017

Seafood and lobster pozole at Ella Canta

Ella Canta, Mayfair

Southam Street restaurant, Kensal Town

We can barely believe the audacious speed with which 108 Garage duo, Chris Denney and Luca Longobardi, are expanding. Their converted garage exploit proved such a huge hit, that the same chef-owner duo are opening a three storey Victorian pub less than a year later, also in Notting Hill.

Bob Bob Cité restaurant, Leadenhall Street

Bob Bob Cité, Leadenhall Street

We all love a handsome French chef with a mischievous smile. And Eric Chavot has the most impressive CV in town: two Michelin stars, training from Raymond Blanc and a track record of the most sophisticated restaurants under his belt (including The Capital, Knightsbridge; Evic Chavot, Mayfair), this revered contemporary French chef is opening the hotly anticipated Bob Bob Cité at the 'Cheesegrater' January next year.

Pastaio, Soho

Handmade pasta restaurants are definitely having a moment. Who hasn’t queued for Padella in Borough? So we’re really keen to see how River Café trained chef Steve Parle approaches pasta at Carnaby’s Pastaio, his sixth restaurant in the capital.
