The Edit

Richoux has been a London house since 1909, when two French émigrés opened it as a patisserie and confectioner on Baker Street. Its flagship now stands on Langham Place, just off Oxford Street at Oxford Circus: an all-day brasserie inspired by the golden age of Parisian café culture, serving French classics and international favourites from lunch into the evening, with brunch at the weekend.

Aragawa opened in Tokyo in 1967 with a single-minded focus on Tajima Wagyu, and its London restaurant on Clarges Street keeps to the same idea. The menu centres on Japanese Wagyu beef, cooked simply so the meat leads. Book it for an occasion, and for the beef above all.

An intimate private members' club in the heart of Mayfair. 12 Hay Hill offers fine dining, a considered wine cellar and beautifully appointed private event spaces: a discreet Mayfair address.
