Known as a favourite haunt of parliamentarians, this discreet restaurant impresses for its cuisine and its clientele. Try slow-cooked pork baked in lotus leaves or Massaman beef cheek – a Thai-inspired treat that ingeniously balances flavour and spice. The wine list is strong if traditional, with a Grange and Chateauneuf-Du-Pape. Vegetarian options are limited.
