With its striking interior design and comfortable leather seating and oak furniture, contrasted against the metal of the bar, Bierodrome Islington gives out a warm and inviting feel.

Staff will help you to choose the right beers, making suggestions from the various white, black and fruit beers available, as well as a large selection of wines and other drinks. Bierodrome is one of the largest suppliers of Belgian beers in this country, so take your time to look through the drinks menu and always ask one of the bartenders or waiters for their suggestions and help.

In the dining section of the restaurant you can view the chefs at work preparing dishes, such as their famous mussels, and other range of superb seafood, vegetarian or meat dishes, like Rotisserie Chicken and Belgian Sausages.

There is also a great choice for those with a sweet tooth with some fab desserts featuring Belgian Chocolate Waffles and homemade ice-cream.

Unlike so many of the Capitals more formulaic South American restaurants, the unpretentious 1492 Latin Fusion is pleasingly theme-free and offers good food from around the continent rather than just the popular countries.

Warmly decorated with brown leather chairs, wooden floors and burnt sienna walls, the South American feel is reflected in the art on the walls and by the large yucca plants in every corner. Wrought iron candelabras add an ecclesiastical touch and there is always subtle Latin music playing in the background.

We all know (well those who actually took notice in History lessons!) that 1492 is the year Columbus sailed the ocean blue and Latin culture met with Native America for the first time. We have since warmed ourselves from the heat of that combustion and over the centuries the mix has been enriched by Arab and African contributions - the delicious mix is exactly what 1492 Latin Fusion serves up on a plate.

The special flavours and combinations that are on offer at 1492 Latin Fusion, combined with the Latin warmth of the greeting, add up to one terrific venue. The colourful decor brings a lot of cheer to Londons drearier months and magnifies the joy of the sunny season.

Chefs speciality dish:

Mexican chicken, Chocolate and Chilli

A wonderfully baroque recipe combining four different chillis, chocolate, nuts and fruitsenjoy!

Housed in a historic 17th century listed building, Bhatti is pleasantly bright inside where spotlights highlight the wooded floor and chairs.

After a friendly welcome comes the best bit - the menu! All of the favourites that you would expect from a quality Indian restaurant are available - Chicken Tikka Masala, Jalfreizi, Vindaloo, Madras, Lamb Rogan Josh.

Bhatti is not only great quality but also great value, and as good a place as any to explore Indian cuisine.

Behesht restaurant, in keeping with tradition, is hand-painted in rich red-maroon, turquoise blue and sun gold. Greeted by an impressive waiting room, guests enter the main dining area of the restaurant, filled with the Iranian antiques and rugs and carpets.

When seated, the kitchen acts as an attraction for guests as they watch chefs prepare and bake bread in the special tanour bread oven and kebabs on the traditional grill. Enveloped by a beautiful wooden floor, tall columns and a light-blue, sculpted ceiling, the room provides a serene and intimate atmosphere. High, Gothic-style arcades create the breathtaking appearance of the terrace area. Night only enhances the effect, when chandelier and wall lights project a myriad of light shards.

The dining experience in this tastelondon restaurant is fulfilled as guests experience the cosines of the tea room while drinking authentic Iranian tea. Above the tea area and overlooking the terrace, the smokers room sets a traditional scene. It is here that guests can enjoy Iranian shisha, or the Arab traditional shisha, usually softer, as tobacco is generally mixed with honey and flavoured with either strawberry or apple.

The Bastille Brasserie offers high quality Mediterranean French bistro cuisine at affordable prices. The venue is often described as a romantic hideaway and incorporates two areas, the bar and the restaurant.

You can experience the delicious menu in both areas of the venue, the same price but in a different atmosphere. The restaurant is open 7 days a week and also offers a traditional roast lunch on a Sunday.

In the summer there is the opportunity to eat al fresco and the menu changes on daily basis, but the quality remains excellent throughout.

A wonderful find - Base is a bistro serving full English breakfasts, coffees, baguettes, sandwiches, patisseries, a la carte menu and the freshly prepared gourmet food bar with a different selection of dishes each day. In the evening, Base becomes a fine dining French/Mediterranean restaurant.

If you do not find the neat and stylish decor inviting enough, all you need to do is take a look at the menu it is enough to get you seated immediately! The French cuisine has a touch of Mediterranean flavour - Fresh Fixed Mixed Grill, Corn-fed Chicken, Rib-eye Steak, and a variety of desserts will keep you more than happy. Music lovers can enjoy themselves too, as a band plays live jazz on Saturday...

One can also indulge in a bit of star-gazing - this place is often visited by the odd celebrity!

The dining room is calm and peaceful for breakfast as light streams in  through the French windows but by night, is dark and candle-lit, where guests can linger in an atmosphere of decadence.

You can eat outside despite the weather - the balcony is covered and heated. Enjoy croissants and a cappuccino listening to the birds as the sun rises or share a midnight moment with a loved one by the light of the moon.

Lunchtime queues for this ultra-trendy burger bar at the Grove end of Portobello Road, spill out onto the street on a daily basis.

Babes has enjoyed plenty of press coverage as a new concept in dining targeted squarely at the Notting Hillbilly baby boomers.

The narrow dining space backs onto a crche equipped with ball pens and all manner of bright toys.

The bar is presided over by a cheery baby boomer named Sam whose cherubic son is the main customer of the play area - other diners can let their kids run wild in there and each of the larger tables is equipped with a nifty TV monitor so you can admire your childs play skills while enjoying a hearty meal.

Extremely affordable prices, great food, a commitment to using organic ingredients, where possible and a truly unique and practical dining concept, gives Babes the popularity it deserves.
