These are London's 9 best restaurants for doing business
9. SCOTT'S — Located in the heart of Mayfair, right next to the American Embassy, Scott's first opened in 1851. Expect discretion from the staff, and lots of very tasty, but very pricey seafood.
SIGNATURE DISH — Octopus Carpaccio with chilli, spring onion and coriander
8. THE DON — Right between Bank and Cannon Street tube stations, The Don is in a perfect place to pop out of your City office for lunch. Dishes include lobster risotto, roast mallard duck, and 42 day aged rib eye of beef.
SIGNATURE DISH — Lobster risotto, rocket salad & sauce Americaine
7. COQ D'ARGENT — Another restaurant right in the middle of the City, just a stones throw from the Bank of England. Coq d'Argent serves what it calls "Contemporary French cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal produce."
SIGNATURE DISH — Granny Smith Apple Parfait
6. L'ANIMA — A posh Italian restaurant at the top end of the City, near Liverpool Street, serving classic dishes made with the best Italian ingredients. Space is plentiful so there's no need to worry about anyone overhearing that deal.
SIGNATURE DISH — Hand-made Malloreddus Pasta with Mazara Prawns
5. GALVIN LA CHAPELLE — Another prime City location, just off Bishopsgate. Galvin La Chapelle is in a beautiful Grade II listed building, and has held a prestigious Michelin star since 2011. As the name suggests, the food is inspired by France.
SIGNATURE DISH — Crab Lasagna
4. CITY SOCIAL — City Social is one of the numerous restaurants run by former Gordon Ramsay student Jason Atherton. Located at the top of Tower 42, the dining room has amazing views of the Gherkin, as well as lots of quiet corners so you can do business in private.
SIGNATURE DISH — Warm fruits of the sea, linguini, and shellfish cooking juices
3. THE SQUARE — Sitting between Piccadilly and Berkeley Square, The Square is not only one of London's best restaurants for business, its one of the city's best altogether. Its website says that it serves "Impeccable seasonal ingredients are accurately cooked and brought together on the plate in a harmonious, elegant, yet satisfying manner."
SIGNATURE DISH — Turbot, Sicilian Prawns, and Monksbeard
2. THE DELAUNAY — Owned by London restaurant legends Corbin & King, the Delaunay is on Aldwych, close to the Royal Courts of Justice and Fleet Street. It serves European comfort food, so expect schnitzels and shepherd's pies on the menu.
SIGNATURE DISH — Banana Split
1. THE WOLSELEY — Arguably one of London's most well-know restaurants, you're unlikely to go to the Wolseley without seeing a celebrity, which means staff are incredibly well versed in discretion.
SIGNATURE DISH — Smoked Haddock Monte Carlo
