London restaurant for special dinner

[TheFurryMenace]

Can anyone please recommend somewhere really nice for me and DH to go for a special occasion meal? I really wanted to go to The Ivy, but they dont have availability on the date we would like to go. Im looking for somwhere that will have a whiff of luxury, but also great food and service, where we wont feel intimidated! Our budget for 2 is around £200.

All suggestions welcome. We like all sorts of food.

Thanks in advance.

Benares do a good set menu deal and you’ll be well looked after.
Hawksmoor
I also really like meat people in Islington

The Wolseley ?

The Ledbury

Rules!

J Sheekey? In your price range and lovely.

Quality Chop House in Farringdon
Cafe du Marche in Charterhouse Square
I second Benares
The Delaunay

The Ned

Not sure 200 would be enough for two at the Ledbury

The Clove Club

Clos Maggiore

Lunch or dinner? Some great lunch offers around.
What type of good do you want?
Hawksmoor
Roka
Iberica
Hutong

Langan’s?

Clos Maggiore have a good lunch deal.

Bentley’s?

The Gavroche? Lovely food. Especially bargaintastic if you go for lunch

200 will def not cover dinner at le gavroche. Unless you’re going for a set lunch.

Berners Tavern is lovely, and always makes for a lovely romantic meal.

The Orrery! It's white-tablecloth and amuse-buche style fanciness but the waiters are very nice and smiley and not snooty at all.

The Ivy Market Grill in Covent Garden

Clos Maggiore but ask for a table in the conservatory. Beautiful.

The Nineth for French or Trish a for posh Indian.

Supposed to say Trishna, sorry!

J sheeky (not atlantic bar bit). Fish- the plateau fruit de mer is amazing.

Might see an odd actor in there.

Another vote for Benares (wish they would stop giving scarfs to women!) also Cinammon club or Margot (which is a bit buzzer) ??

The ones in The Shard. I've been to Oblix East which is quite laid back and bar like but lovely, there are other more formal ones.
