UP TO €30 Franco Manca (4 Market Row, SW9, tel: 020 7738 3021) This cheap and cheerful restaurant in Brixton Market was considered a bit of a culinary secret among south London foodies until recently, but now folk from all across the capital – and beyond – make their own pizza pilgrimage to see what all the fuss is about. This small pizzeria’s winning formula is a combination of a light yet crisp sourdough base – prepared 20 hours before – and the giant, traditional woodfi red oven brought in from download our iphone e app to find d your nearest est st t t t restaurant nt positive eating + positive living kids welcome! the home of this doughy dish, Naples. The menu might only feature six types of pizza (starting at £6 each), but trust us, you won’t be disappointed. UP TO €50 Balans (60–62 Old Compton Street, W1D, tel: 020 7439 2183) Right in the heart of the West End, on Old Compton Street, is Balans – a Soho institution. An excellent option for a pre- or post-theatre meal thanks to its proximity to Theatreland, its modern brasseriestyle menu caters to all appetites. Dishes such as seared scallops with pork belly and orange sweet soy glaze is a great place to start, and satisfying mains include a fragrant Thai curry and the sizable Balans 10oz burger with hand-cut chips.

From €78, book at hotels. easyJet.com. Bar Battu (48 Gresham Street, EC2, tel: 020 7036 6100) Tucked away in a corner street in the City is this exceptional French wine bar-turned-fab restaurant. But what’s so exciting about an establishment championing vin de France? Well, Bar Battu is the Square Mile’s fi rst natural wine bar, selling superb organic and biodiverse wines. For those of us who don’t know much about natural wines, the bar’s extensive wine list has a breakdown at the beginning explaining the diff erence between the biodiverse, cloudy, organic, wild and clear wines sold by the glass and bottle. Once you’ve ordered your wine, tackle the food menu with its fi ne French fare. The crab with celeriac is the star of the small, tapas-like plates, and you can’t go far wrong with the bavette steak and bone marrow – perfectly complemented with a robust glass of organic red, of course. EXCLUSIVE Brasserie Joël (1st Floor, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, SE1, tel: 020 7620 7272) The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge exudes the cool, anonymous glow of the international hotel chain, so it’s a surprise to fi nd French chef Joël Antunes running an excellent brasserie from its moodily lit interior. Every dish is full of fl air, from the crisp, sweet beetroot salad to the porcini risotto that reminds you what risotto is supposed to taste like. Delicious and for the most part reasonably priced, it’s well worth a visit. AFTER DARK LOW KEY Gordon’s Wine Bar (47 Villiers Street, WC2N, tel: 020 7930 1408) It might not look like much from the outside, but Gordon’s has plenty of character. This tatty-but-cool space dates back to the 1680s, making it the city’s oldest wine bar – and hundreds of years later, it’s still one of the best places in London to enjoy a glass of wine, sherry or port in candlelit, subterranean surroundings. LIVE MUSIC The Boogaloo (312 Archway Road, N6, tel: 020 8340 2928) Set in leafy Highgate, The Boogaloo is considered one of north London’s hippest music hangouts –Time Out has even hailed it “London’s greatest rock club”.
