One of the most understatedly stylish addresses in the city, Dean Street Townhouse is a series of adjoined townhouses in Soho comprising a hotel and restaurant.

The majority of service during the day comprises an outdoor café and lounge - perfect for whiling away sunny days in the heart of the city and people watching in Soho.

In the evening, the main dining room takes centre stage as it fills with a discerning and glamorous crowd picked from the media, entertainment and business classes along with special occasioners and curious foodies.

The menu is high-end but unpretentious British classics, with a focus on seasonal and natural. Food is prepared simply and knowledgeably, letting the flavours speak for themselves. The sole meuniere and onion tart are highlights - with food this simple, the execution has to be perfect (and it is).

It is also an excellent spot for breakfast and afternoon tea.

Tables for dinner are understandably in demand - book ahead and dress smartly.

Opening times: Monday - Friday: 07:00 - 23:30 (Thursday - Friday: 24:00), Saturday - Sunday: 08:00 - 24:00 (Sunday: 10:30).
