“The restaurant I revisit most often is Silk Road in Camberwell. It’s a south London classic and everything you order is banging. My go-to is a shish kebab – either lamb, offal or fish.” — James Cochran

“There are three Docklands Sichuan restaurants that are awesome. One is in Limehouse called Shan Shui Jian, there's one in North Greenwich called Sichuan, and then there’s Jinjian in Deptford. They're all along the DLR, so you could do an epic food crawl.” — Tim Anderson

“For a takeaway curry or meal out, look no further than Bombay Bustle on Maddox Street. Brilliant value, delicious food and a fun night guaranteed.” — Ollie Dabbous

“When it comes to ordering in, I like to go for Thai as it travels well, and is light and delicious unlike some takeaways. My go to is Red Pepper Tree in Clapham. The pad thai is very good.” — Jason Atherton

“Joké is cooking some of the most interesting and outstanding food in London right now. Her food is thrilling – wildly explosive and tightly refined, oscillating between extremes of heat, pungency, sharpness, freshness, sweetness, savour and flavour. Every new plate she puts out stirs a deep sense of awe and admiration within me, and no little sense of envy at her talent and skill.” — Jackson Boxer

“Sundays are made for Smith & Wollensky's signature ‘Butcher burger’ with a side of macaroni cheese.” — Ollie Dabbous

“Covent Garden is great for restaurants. I’m a big fan of Cora Pearl.” — Tim Anderson

“My favourite pub has to be Tom Kerridge’s Hand & Flowers in Marlow. It combines everything you love about a good old-fashioned boozer with a really great restaurant. The food is uncomplicated and generous – and in the summer it’s even better.” — Jason Atherton

“I really rate Petersham Nurseries, especially the one in Covent Garden, which has a lovely terrace serving Italian delicacies.” — Ollie Dabbous

“Andrew Edmunds in Soho is a wonderful time-warp restaurant that transports you back to the 19th century, even though it only opened in the 1980s. The Georgian building, the candlelight, the expert modern (but rustic) European menu and the extremely well-priced wine list are a winning combination for me. Andrew’s office and gallery are next door, and it’s always a treat to see him. He’s a Soho legend.” — Russell Norman

“Ikoyi is a West African-inspired restaurant with phenomenal cooking techniques. The flavour combinations are always mind-blowing, but strangely comforting and familiar at the same time – as a chef, it’s truly inspiring.” — Tomos Parry

“There’s a sake bar on Maiden Lane called Moto where they pour their own sake and serve Japanese izakaya food.” — Tim Anderson

“My most memorable meal was at the Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare, New York. It’s more than the dishes: both here and at Frantzén, they capture the restaurant experience perfectly and the creativity on show is unbelievable.” — Jason Atherton

“My perfect Sunday is a walk with Bella, my boxer dog. Then cocktails at Forza Wine and at Frank’s Café & Campari Bar –both in Peckham – followed by a Sunday roast or pie.” — James Cochran

“It’s a classic, but one of my favourites is The River Café. The team is a true industry leader and the hospitality is the best anywhere – it’s always warm and welcome with excellent service and a great atmosphere.” — Tomos Parry

“Kiln is my go-to restaurant. It’s a northern/rural Thai restaurant in Soho. I like to sit at the counter where you can watch over the fire and get a real sense of the energy behind the pass. Kiln’s cooking is always really exciting and they have a constantly changing wine list, so I get to try a different wine every time I go.” — Tomos Parry

“I always get a transportive feeling when I smell the aromas at Lao Café off Leicester Square. The seasoning of the som tum in particular has been a massive influence for me at Smoking Goat. The careful balance of funk, spice and aromas is something that’s hard not to admire.” — Ben Curtis

“If it’s my day off, I'm tired and want something casual but complex, I’ll head to Noodle & Beer in Spitalfields Market.It’s food that tastes better with a beer. The Chongqing-style noodles always satisfy but I always go back for the pigs’ ear salad. The texture just doesn’t exist in British food, and I can’t understand why.” — Ben Curtis

“It’s a Turkish ocakbasi restaurant and the grilled quail is the essence of open-fire cooking, belying its status as our favourite casual post-service meal. It’s always friendly and the offal options always deliver – especially the lamb’s fry.” — Ben Curtis

“At Quo Vadis, Jeremy Lee's cooking is so supremely confident, assured, generous and delicious, overwhelming without ever being too much, and so gloriously full of soul, wit and charm that every visit works to restore me physically, emotionally and spiritually.” — Jackson Boxer

“My perfect Sunday is a walk with Bella, my boxer dog. Then cocktails at Forza Wine and at Frank’s Café & Campari Bar –both in Peckham – followed by a Sunday roast or pie.” — James Cochran

“It’s a three Michelin-starred restaurant, and the menu and ambiance are magical. Aside from my own, it’s definitely the restaurant I’ve visited the most.” — Jason Atherton
