Chelsea, Lately
/G-REVIEW
The Chelsea set love nothing more than dining in elegant style, which is why Le Cercle - owned by Michelin-starred Club Gascon, which also counts Cellar Gascon and Comptoir Gascon among its prestigious portfolio of properties - has become the go-to place for sharply-dressed Sloane Rangers.

With the invasion of Pizza Express and Nando's outlets in London, it can be easy to forget the the capital's culinary scene was once all about classic eateries frequented by the city's highest-flyers. Thank God, then, for Boyd's Bar & Brasserie - a throwback to the days of grandeur and gastronomy.

It takes a lot for us to go East here at Gunpowder, even if it is super-trendy. But when Tony Wright offered to review Pizza East - London's much talked-about pizza joint du jour - we couldn't resist a slice of the action. Even if it does mean leaving the manicured environs of the West.

Park Here
/G-REVIEW
We love hotel restaurants here at Gunpowder - after a long flight, a queue at check-in and a freshen up in your room, there's nothing better than enjoying a dinner eight floors down. Which is why we're thrilled the Royal Garden Hotel has reopened and refurbished Park Terrace, a luxe eatery in the luxe bowels of its ground floor.

It's nice to enjoy a bit of city slicker style without actually having to venture into the city, which is exactly why Gunpowder was more than happy to accept an invitation to dine at Coquine - the recently-opened hotspot on Old Brompton Road.

Built Like A Brick It House
/GASTRONOMY
Sumptuous suppers are what The Brickhouse is all about, with a combined restaurant, bar and perfornance space. Thank God, then, that it's reopened after a rather fetching refurbishment. We have to admit, Brick Lane never looked so beautiful.

/GASTRONOMY
Design and Champagne are two of Gunpowder's favourite things, which is why we almost wet ourselves when we caught wind of this; a gorgeous Ruinart Champagne set, designed by none other than Paris-based architect/designer India Mahdavi. Pop open a bottle of this, and you're guaranteed to get some - and then some.

And So To Bedford
/G-REVIEW
If you were in a rush you'd stride straight past the entrance to Bedford & Strand, a hidden gem in the heart of Theatreland. Behind its unimposing entrance just off Covent Garden, however, is a buzzing bistro in a cosy basement setting. We can't quite believe it's taken us this long to book a reservation.

You can pretty much guarantee that anything with a number in its name is going to be good - Bungalow 8, Ocean's 11, a 69-er - the list goes on! Which is why Gunpowder jumped at the chance to sample the bold new menu at 108 Marylebone Lane, a swish new venue attached to The Marylebone Hotel.

Me Old China
/G-REVIEW
Everyone loves a good Chinese; dim-sum and Peking duck, after all, are the makings of a brilliant Friday night in. That said, sometimes we crave something from the Orient that's a little more high-end - something that serves up lashing of style as well as soy sauce. Enter Royal China Baker Street, the answer to our prayers.

Last Supper

London is the land of cool when it comes to restaurants, with so many crazy concepts, mad menus and insane interiors to make a dinner date truly unique. But nothing quite compares to supperclub, the recently-opened bar/restaurant/club on Notting Hill's Acklam Road. Naturally, Gunpowder was invited to check it out.
