Critics’ choice: Our 20 favourite restaurants in London

I don’t know if family lawyers are always being asked the cheapest way to go about getting a divorce, but anyone who writes about food is routinely grilled on where to go, what to order and how to land a table.

“What’s your favourite restaurant?” is an eye-glazer of the question, in part because when a life is lived at tables, it’s hard to really know. Still, Jimi and I have had a go: this list is purely personal (which, to spell it out, is us saying: “favourites” and “best” are not synonyms). It will be updated every month — tastes change. A video below explains how we made our decisions. But for now, and in no particular order, here are the 20 London restaurants we like best — at least for now.
