If you're looking for a Sunday brunch a bit slicker than your standard boozy affair, head to Hakkasan Hanway Place. The luxe underground restaurant has a very well-priced Sunday brunch menu, centred around dim sum. For £62 per person, you get a bottle of Louis Roederer brut champagne, two cocktails and a seemingly-endless stream of food. If you want to step it up a gear, you can swap the brut for Cristal, but that will see the price per person almost double to £120 per person. For those who want to go lighter on the drinking front, you can swap out the champagne for tea, bringing the price...

The DJ (Ibiza veteran and Kate Moss' pal, Fat Tony) was spinning the decks with an ice cream cone to hand and a waiter was throwing some hip shakes at the till. Surprisingly my mum was loving the vibe at Sexy Fish's new Sunday brunch. The soft lighting, the buzzing atmosphere and tantalising smells quickly lulled us a world away from the sleepy Mayfair streets outside. Admittedly, we found it tricky to hear each other at times but that was half the fun. It had been a while since I'd felt so clubby on a Sunday. It reminded me of life in New York wher...

It was only when I spotted a red London bus peeping over the top of the manicured garden hedgerow that my Italian mind trip suddenly veered off track. I'd stopped by at the 5-star Baglioni hotel's recently renovated restaurant, renamed Osteria 60. Nestled in the heart of Kensington, it's just a hop, skip and a jump away from Hyde Park and the Royal Palace - or for the shoppers, Harrods and Harvey Nichols are also within close proximity. A...
