The roll-call is headed by Sam's Brasserie and Bar, the highly acclaimed restaurant opened this year by Sam Harrison, old Etonian protege of Rick Stein.

The other four are: FishWorks, Fish Hook, Le Vacherin and La Trompette, tipped to become the area's first Michelin star winner.

Chiswick's rise has been driven by a Notting Hill overspill that has seen house prices soar in the past decade.

A suburb where 10 years ago locals greeted the opening of Cafe Rouge as cutting edge foreign cuisine now boasts some of west London's most fashionable restaurants.

As well as the guide entries, Chiswick has seen branches of Chez Gerard, Carluccio's Caffé and Ant and Dec's Soho House outpost, High Road Brasserie, open in recent months.

Mr Harrison, who opened his restaurant in August last year, said: "Chiswick still has a strong villagey feel - 90 per cent of our customers walk to us - and we felt it was just crying out for a good, independent neighbourhood restaurant."

This year's guide, published by Which?, has a record 333 entries for London, compared with only 26 for the next most-decorated city, Manchester.

The capital has 27 new entries, more than Manchester's entire list.

There are also three new entries in suburbs not included in the London list: La Buvette and Petersham Nurseries in Richmond and Ma Cuisine in Kew.

Comparisons with 20 years ago suggest London's influence continues to grow. Since 1986 its entry list has grown by 27 per cent from 262, whereas Manchester's total has only gone up from 23.

The title of London restaurant of the year is awarded to St John, the modern British specialist on the edge of the City famous for its offal. The London newcomer of the year award goes to Soho's Arbutus.

The guide's top-rated restaurants in Britain - all scoring nine out of 10 for cooking - are Gordon Ramsay in SW3, the Fat Duck in Bray, Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons in Oxfordshire and Winteringham Fields in Lincolnshire.
