3).French ( Great for a snazzy lunch) : "La Petit Maison" in Mayfair ....... reservation is needed.
4).Best Fish and Chips ( Good for lunch): "The Rock & Sole Plaice" in Covent Garden ..... u might have to wait if you go during lunch rush hour, best to go early or a little after lunch hour... coz it's popular...

6). An Italian restaurant called "Signor Sassi". Wonderful and rich Italian food! Natalia Vodianova called it her favorite London restaurant in one of the editions of Russian Vogue.

10). "Laduree" - best macaroons in the world! They have 2 branches: a tiny store inside the Burlington Arcade (at Green Park), and a wonderful Laduree tea room inside Harrods. If you have time, check out the stores in Burlington Arcade, very traditional and very British, lots of beautiful and expensive vintage jewelry.
11). "Rasa Sayang" ( Singaporean restaurant) in Chinatown.
12). Last but not the least..... to comfort our home-sick craving of Chinese food : best roast duck in town!! "FOUR SEASONS" , they have a few locations..
