"When you’re planning a dinner for a group of friends who refuse to meet before 8pm and focus as intently on the cocktail menu as they do the food, Clap is a good shout. You need to walk through a long dramatic corridor and take a fancy lift to get to this low-lit Japanese restaurant in Knightsbridge. Special occasions are marked with tantalising crispy rice and black cod lettuce bites, and well-dressed, economically blessed people fill the room. In fact, we’ve seen an entire football team dine here before." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
