Riding House Cafe Fitzrovia

Going strong in London's most fashionable districts for a decade, Riding House Cafe's chic restaurants and light, wholesome food have seen it grow into more than just an eatery in London. Today, RHC is an institution.

A fun and informal brasserie designed with Fitzrovia's creative community in mind, this particular branch is a green and lush haven for anyone wanting to escape London's hustle and bustle. Light and airy thanks to the glass walls that look out over the street, RHC compliments its unique location with light-coloured bistro furniture, refreshing bursts of blue and, of course, a forest's worth of potted plants that breathe life through the whole establishment.

The food is also designed to revitalise and energise, and nothing says health and well-being like a carefully curated bowl with skewers on the side. Enjoy your bowl brimming with anything from wild rice, quinoa, sweet potato and courgette fritters, rigatoni, corn chowder and seasonal vegetables. Then, choose your skewer, and whether you opt for the spiced lamb, miso salmon, lemon chicken or tempura broccoli, you're in for a treat.

As for the bigger plates, have your fill of European-inspired culinary creations. We're talking Grana Padano chicken with a panko crust, beef and buttermilk chicken burgers, and a slow-cooked lamb ragu pappardelle. They're also visiting Asia for their fish and king prawn curry and miso grilled seabass. Finally, order a round of barrel-aged cocktails and share some hot brioche doughnuts between you. After all, it isn't RHC without a touch of decadence.
