Our friends at SheerLuxe, the UK’s leading online fashion & lifestyle publisher, have picked out their must-eat restaurants for this year’s festival. Check them out below…
Bébé Bob
From the team behind Soho favourite Bob Bob Ricard, its sister restaurant puts a luxe Parisian spin on rotisserie chicken. Expect beautiful art-deco interiors and indulgent dishes like buttery pommes purée and truffle-drenched chicken. Perfect for Sunday lunch and date nights, its cocktail menu is equally crowd-pleasing.
Akira Back
Korean-American chef Akira Back brings global flair to the Mayfair scene with his bold, inventive dishes that blend Japanese precision with Korean fire – think wagyu tacos, miso black cod and seared sashimi that melts in the mouth. Cool, theatrical, and full of inventive flavours.

Roti King
This Malaysian restaurant chain is legendary for a reason. Flaky, golden roti – made fresh to order – are served with spiced Malaysian and Singaporean dishes, drawing queues at all hours. No-frills, all flavour, expect dishes like spiced curries, fried chicken with sambal sauce and more.
Empire Empire
A joyous celebration of 1970s Indian disco and Punjabi flavours, Empire Empire is one of our favourite spots in Notting Hill. The interiors channel retro Mumbai glam, while the menu reimagines North Indian classics like grilled lamb chops, silky dhal and spicy cocktails.

Roka
Still as chic as ever, Roka is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for refined Japanese robatayaki. From expertly crafted sushi to sizzling robata grill specialties, each dish comes beautifully presented – which goes some way to explaining why its restaurants get booked up weeks in advance. Towering sushi platters are served on ice, while its tasting menu includes the best signature dishes.
Dumplings’ Legend
No list would be complete without a Chinatown icon. Dumplings’ Legend is famous for its Xiao Long Bao – delicate soup dumplings with perfectly pleated skins and rich, savoury broth inside. Pull up a seat, grab a bamboo basket and prepare to become obsessed.
