At Scott’s guests are transported to the beauty of the sea-side with its selection of the finest seafood cuisine, with fresh oysters, lobster, crab and sole as its quintessential dishes. Scott’s debuted in 1851 as an oyster bar in Haymarket and by the 1950s was attracting the likes of the infamous Marilyn Monroe as well as Winston Churchill. Now Scott’s is located in the heart of the bustling Mount Street in Mayfair. With its esteemed history, and its recent refurbishment by the Caprice Group, whose portfolio also includes the popular restaurants The Ivy, J Sheekey and Le Caprice, Scott’s has become one of London’s landmark restaurants synonymous with class, grandeur, elegance and fine-dining. Scott’s chic interior, encapsulated in its choice of regal cream and gold colours, shimmery mosaic tiles and polished wood panelling adorned with classic artwork and mirrors, has recently attracted an impressive A-class clientele including famous models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell and beloved celebrities the Beckhams and Windsors. The epicentre of the restaurant is its marble seafood bar, surrounded by fish-scale mosaic floor tiles, and visually alluring its guests to a stone altar upon which a plethora of fresh and crustacea is displayed on ice. At the bar, guests are invited to start off their evening with an appetiser and to try a perfect pairing of champagne and freshly shucked oysters served with tabasco, sherry vinegar and zesty lemon. Scott’s also offers an impressive terrace that guests can especially enjoy in the summertime, spectacular for watching the day turn to evening whilst smoking cigars and drinking a glass of Veuve Clicquot and West Mersea Native oysters. Scott’s head chef Dave McCarthy and Caprice Group Chef Tim Hughes have curated a menu comprised of fresh fish delivered from both the coast and London’s Billingsgate Fish Market. Guests can select a traditional plate of smoked haddock with colcannon, and a dish of hake, capers and octopus. Guests that wish to indulge in a more extravagant seafood experience are recommended to try the octopus and tempura langoustine, lemon Dover sole off the bone, and the stargazy pie made with golden puff-pastry and creamy white-fish. If fish-based cuisine is not to your taste for the evening, Scott’s also offers an extensive array of seasonal game, meat and vegetarian dishes, with the Bannockburn rib steak, and baked aubergine served with tomatoes, parmesan and poached egg as popular choices. Scott’s provides its guests with a theatrical experience where an opulent and ornate design aesthetic meets the delicious richness of seafood cuisine. It is a restaurant that has been classified as an institution, and although it has been around since the 1850s it has managed to maintain its iconic reputation whilst adapting its style and cuisine to the needs of modern society.

Situating itself in Burlington Gardens in Mayfair sits the finest of Italians Cecconis. Branching out worldwide including places such as Berlin, West Hollywood, New York and many more. It’s specifically known for its recipes made with the finest ingredients to produce hand-made pasta and seafood dishes. Enzo Cecconi first opened up Ceccon’s in 1978 where it instantly became an over night success with word reaching out about the quality of the food. One waiter even says he remembers serving four royal families at four different tables during Ascot week! Sadly in 1999 Cecconi’s closed but was then re-opened in 2004 by Hans Farsi and Nick Jones who also owns very well-known Soho House who made sure to carry on the restaurant’s reputation to an even higher standard. Further in 2005 it underwent some more renovation taking it back to its Venetian roots.

When it comes to the design of the restaurant Cecconis sends you into a home of culture. The front of Cecconis is made up of high French windows which let in an inviting natural light to the restaurant. The golden lighting inside provides a warm safe feeling for its costumers distracting everyone from the outside world. The interior settles for nothing but luxurious with beautiful ornamental crystal mirrors, turquoise coloured chairs and contrasting tiles of a black and white print which add a sophisticated edge to the interior without being too much for your eyes.

Opening from the early hours of 7am Cecconis offers an authentic breakfast menu for those early enough to be able to experience it. You’re able to pick out of the fruits and cereals section, bakery, the egg favourites or the traditional full English to start your day. Brunch offers you a light and heavy selection of dishes ranging from Tuna steak and Rib eye to the late starters of the day still just getting ready for their breakfast. As the evening draws to a close and the lights dim down fresh pasta is cooking away for everyone’s favourite dishes including Linguine, Vongole & Bottarga, Aubergine ravioli, salted ricotta and Tagliatelli Bolognese. All foods are served with a recommended wine to match your food and evening. The Italian traditional deserts include warm pear tart with chesnut ice cream, chocolate fondant and mandarin cheesecake. But that’s just a taste. Cecconis is also now the only Italian restaurant with an authentic ‘Cichetta’ (Venetian tapas bar.) Highlights on the menu served include fennel salami and capocollo (cured pork shank rolled in spices) and Umbrian sausage in red pepper.

Cecconis is the kind of restaurant where the food is just as explicit as the service. You are treated as though you never left even though it’s your first time visiting. The perfect place if you need a break from the City. Image source

The finest food is served daily and a late night bar stocking the largest whisky collection worldwide.(400 bottles and counting!)

The decor within sexy fish compares to walking into a restaurant in Las Vegas with so much glamour its hard to know where to look, The bars are designed with glazed lava stone, the furniture custom made with a cool raspberry-lemonade tone and polished nickel for wall lights and bar lamps. Works crafted together by Frank Gehry and conceptual artist Damien Hirst dazzle from floor to-ceiling; quite literally in the Coral Reef room as tanks with the most exotic fish are exhibited. A 1ft crocodile slithers its way across the wall dominating itself above the the high banquette diners, a beautiful blue wall plaque of mermaids and Frank’s silver floating Fish.

When it come to the food Sexy fish continues to uphold its reputation with Head Chef Bjorn Weissgerber bringing us the finest Asian Cuisine. Earning his first Michelin star at only the age of 27 and training at some of the world’s most prestigious kitchens. Thomas Keller’s French Laundry restaurant in California being just one. He never fails to produce an array of masterpieces.

A few delicatessens recommended by the chef himself include the watermelon and crispy duck salad served with mitzuna leaves, mint and tarragon and seasoned with a refreshing dressing of olive oil. Another dish is the beef tenderloin seasoned with black pepper and smoked onions ; served with a soy and mirin sauce. Deserts are always a hot topic of the menu and with warm chocolate fondant and coconut cake with sorbet; it’s not an easy one to miss out on.

But always saving the best for last we have the bar. Sexy fish blends its most premium alcohols to craft together the finest cocktails to sip on whilst enjoying your food. The favourites include ‘The Big Four’ which combines Milan (Campari), New York (Hudson Manhattan Rye), London (Beefeater Crown Jewel Gin) and Paris (Dubonnet.) The four flavours are based on a Negroni and are not for the faint hearted. The Sexy Fish Champagne Cocktail has  base of classic Martell Cordon Bleu cognac topped up Gyejacquot Champagne with a dash of Merlet peach liqueur, rosemary bitters, a sugar cuba and Angostura bitters. Sexy Fish lager has also been specially brewed to match your taste buds with the seafood on the menu.
