Cellar Gascon
If finances won't stretch, and let's face it, whose will, to a blowout meal at Club Gascon, this is the next best thing. Fine wines and posh, tapas style snacks – meat, seafood, foie gras and vegetarian dishes – in the equally stylish bar next door. Just try and ignore the suited boys on the table next to you trying to out do each other with tales of business acquisitions and stock market predictions. Failing that, a muttered 'they all look really skint, bet they work in telesales' should have them running to the bar to order Champagne for you and your mates.
