(020 7383 3346; archipelago-restaurant.co.uk)


What Zebra, crocodile and kangaroo are on the menu. And as for the décor, you are as likely to sit next to a jewelled rhinoceros as Gwyneth Paltrow and Sienna Miller, who are fans of this Aladdin's cave.

Costs About £40 for three courses without wine.

Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley
The Berkeley, Wilton Place, SW1
(020 7235 1200; the-berkeley. co.uk)
