The best restaurants in Fitzrovia

One of the best restaurants in Fitzrovia, Agrodolce draws deep on the flavours and traditions of Italian cuisine, particularly the region around Rome. Pinsas, homemade pasta, oven-baked fish, and other classic dishes are all available here, with the striking setting – marble tabletops, framed artwork, gilded details, and the like – giving off serious luxury vibes despite the prices remaining accessible. PS - their Sunday brunch menu includes unlimited tiramisu.

This isn't just dinner, it's a performance, with dishes plated like miniature works of art and service to match. The menu changes with the seasons, but the quality is constant, making it a must-visit for serious fine diners. Cord is also home to a culinary school, so you can even learn some of the tricks of the trade.

If a Bedouin tent landed in Fitzrovia, it would definitely look like this. Chef John Javier (ex-Noma and Momofuku Seiobo) is behind the stunning setting and equally impressive menu of fun Middle Eastern-inspired food. Dishes change, but favourites include saganaki schnitzel with parsley toum, and hummus drizzled with chilli oil and burnt lime, all served under a faux night sky.

Elsa is the kind of restaurant you want to spend all day in, inspired by the Alsace region of France, enjoying small plates and natural wine well into the evening. The food is seasonal, so the dishes change, but you can expect to see things like trout rillette and cod with crab butter on the menu. The wine list is especially good, and includes an impressive range of small European producers that use low-intervention methods.

Clipstone is a relaxed neighbourhood bistro, with pavement tables perfect for people-watching. But the food is what people really come here for, and it's anything but boring. Expect seasonal European dishes, based around the best produce they can find, split into a set lunch menu and an à la carte menu. And with more than 100 wines on the list, you'll want to settle in here for a while.

This Sicilian-inspired restaurant is the one everyone is talking about, decked out with 20,000 bottles lining the walls and loads of jungle-like greenery. The menu is decadent and fun, including everything from wood-fired pizzas to creamy pastas, all perfect for big groups. It's loud and glamorous, and ideal for a special occasion.

Berners Tavern is reminiscent of a grand gallery, with walls hung floor-to-ceiling with art displayed beneath elegant chandeliers. But it's not just the decor worth coming here for, Jason Atherton's modern British menu is well worth the hype, too, offering everything from indulgent brunches to elegant dinners.

Ottolenghi's Rovi is proof that vegetables also deserve to be in the spotlight, with his menu that relies heavily on fermentation and fire, turning humble ingredients into main players, like charred cabbage with almond XO sauce and trout crudo with yuzu and radish. There are meat and seafood options too, but the plant-based plates are the real focus here.

Broken Eggs is a family-run restaurant dedicated to one thing: the classic Spanish tortilla. And it does them brilliantly, with a range of fillings that aren't just classic potato and onion. They also serve cheese boards and charcuterie, as well as other Spanish classics like pan con tomate, croquetas and a lovely range of drinks.

This modern French bistro from the team behind The Quality Chop House and Portland takes a fresh perspective on French cuisine. Chef Stuart Andrew serves elegant takes on classics, like escargots, rabbit Niçoise, and lobster vol-au-vent. The wine list includes international bottles but has a soft spot for Burgundy.

Carousel is part restaurant, part creative hub. The wine bar here is stocked with low-intervention bottles and a food menu that is constantly changing thanks to its residency programme, which hosts chefs from around the world. Swing by for a casual glass after work, or book in for an exclusive dining experience you'll remember for a long time after.

Meraki brings Greek sunshine to Fitzrovia, courtesy of the team behind Zuma and Roka. It's all about fresh ingredients flown in from Greece, alongside grilled meats and fish, and a seriously impressive mezze spread. The stylish restaurant has a lively bar and even a terrace for sunny days, while DJs and live music keep the vibes high well into the evening.
