"Lunchtime in the City can be an iffy prospect, but two-starred Parisian import La Dame de Pic comes up with the goods. Anne-Sophie Pic’s two courses for £32 deal features plenty of twists on Continental classics: steak tartare with Wagyu emulsion, suckling pig with Nikka whisky and sorrel or tonka-spiked girolles risotto, and a strawberry baba soaked in Roku gin. Two glasses of wine are very reasonably priced for hereabouts at £19." - Emma Hughes
