Emily English is a nutritionist and Sunday Times bestselling cookbook author who posts as @EmTheNutritionist and founded the supplement brand Epetōme. Telling people what to eat is her job, which makes where she eats when she is off duty a better question than most. These are the London restaurants and pubs she has named herself — in TopJaw's city guides, and in a week-on-a-plate diary for SheerLuxe.

Best bar or pub, Fox and Pheasant. It's James Blunt's; someone sent me a picture of James Blunt in there.

It is so good. The garlic stuffed mussels — probably not best for a first date, but by date three just smash a load down.

It's classic. It's beautiful. The cooking is flawless. It makes you feel sexy. You can get dressed up.
