Hidden speakeasy-style bar located within a bizarre 1930s residential building. Decor is surprising — Mickey Mouse wallpaper, dressing up boxes, retro television sets — but cocktails go down smooth and foods like mac and cheese are comforting.

Daylesford Organic London

Lady Bamford provides city folk with fresh, seasonal and local produce from her farm in Gloucestershire. Her growing chain of restaurants doubles as organic food stores, complete with meat counters, bread, raw food and juice bars. Quality is top notch — as are prices.

Dish Dash Chelsea London

Hit Persian restaurant and bar offers well-priced comforts like falafel, naan, and shish kebabs, but with the ambiance of something slightly more swank.

Eight Over Eight London

A Chelsea outpost of Will Ricker’s highbrow Pan-Asian restos, this one’s another bustling locale complete with a dim sum menu and cool crowd.
