Arbutus
63 Frith Street, W1
Brilliant bourgeois cooking at affordable prices makes this a haven for offal lovers. The majority of the wine list is available by the 250cl carafe, so exploring it is all the more enjoyable. £30pp ex-drinks. (020 7734 4545)

Greenhouse
27a Hay's Mews, W1
Smart French cooking, only too aware of seasonal produce. The wine list is targeted at the oenophile but there is good advice available for those with more modest ambitions. £60pp ex-drinks. (020 7499 3331)

Cambio de Tercio
163 Old Brompton Road, SW5
Spanish restaurant with inspired food and a definitive range of Spanish fine wine, the selection from the Ribero del Duero being particularly fine. £35pp ex-drinks. (020 7244 8970)
