Best for wine lovers

Social Wine & Tapas

Too often carrots are relegated to a side dish. At Jason Atherton’s new tapas-style restaurant they take centre stage, cooked until just tender and caramelised, then drizzled with a delicious walnut pesto and a slick of burnt aubergine (£6). Sommelier and manager Laure Patry has put together an awe-inspiring wine list, too.

Scandi suppers: Flat Three (Picture: Steven Joyce)

Flat Three

This was once a supper club, but has graduated to permanent premises. The décor is understated; the menu, which changes daily, is Japanese and Scandinavian influenced and the food is beautifully constructed: carrot comes in the form of a perfectly sweet sorbet. Seven-course tasting menu, £65; £33 for three courses at lunch.

Find it: 120-122 Holland Park Avenue, W11; flatthree.london

Best for a pre-show supper

Producer paradise: Jar Kitchen (Picture: Steven Joyce)

Jar Kitchen

This theatreland spot serves up ingredients from some of the UK’s starriest suppliers — expect The Flour Station pastries, Walter Rose meats, Neal’s Yard cheeses and Cannon & Cannon charcuterie. Mixed grain salad with roasted carrots, coconut yoghurt, almonds and pomegranate is a perfect veggie main (£9.50; £12.50 with lamb).

Find it: 176 Drury Lane, WC2; jarkitchen.com
