This is one of those dependable modern brasserie types that it helps to have up your sleeve for low key work events and no nonsense birthday dinners. An open kitchen situated just behind the bar gives off that chef’s table feel, complementing the tasteful brick/wood/leather décor and adding to the bustling atmosphere. Downstairs there’s a bar lit up in neon and sporting some rather fine purple wallpaper for a bit of fun, which on Tuesdays hosts live music acts (recently including the Argonauts and Dubstar). Rumoured to be a celeb haunt, fortunately the prices don’t show it.
Price: £40-50pp. 21-22 Warwick Street, Piccadilly Circus, W1B 5NE. Tel: 020 7734 1002. Web:www.theclubbaranddining.co.uk
