The Ivy
https://ivycollection.com/restaurants/the-ivy-st-johns-wood/
120 St John's Wood High Street
Dine in or delivery. Good space for outdoor dining and heating supplied during cold weather. Vegetarian friendly with gluten free options. Exciting décor, friendly environment.
The Duke of York
2 St Ann's Terrace, NW8 6PJ
Established in 1826 - inside dining plus pavement tables. Great food, drink and amazing hospitality. To be avoided when cricket matches are on at Lords unless you have the strength to push the crowds spilling onto the pavement. Catering for private parties is available.
La Brasseria Milanese
42 Marylebone High St, W1U 5HD
An all day Italian family restaurant that has recently replaced the long-standing Getti. More of a cafe upstairs, with more authentic tables and booths downstairs. Great food and a smart wine list.
Fischers
50 Marylebone High St, W1U 5HN
Austrian cuisine. This is not something you would expect in Marylebone, but it has been here a few years now, and is as popular as ever. This is a really fun, vibrant restaurant with traditional wholesome food - from Schnitzel to Goulash to Bratwurst. Equally good for a romantic tete-a-tete, as a boisterous night out with friends, to a business meeting.
The SeaShell of Lisson Grove
https://www.seashellrestaurant.co.uk/
49-51 Lisson Grove, NW1 6UH
A long-running fish and chip restaurant, offering both eat-in and takeaway, with a large aquarium in the dining room. Not cheap, but very good quality, with a vast variety of food.
Regent's Bar & Kitchen
https://www.royalparks.org.uk/visit/parks/regents-park-primrose-hill/regents-bar-kitchen
Regent's Park, Inner Circle, NW1 4NU
This is an amazing find! Open from 8am, seven days a week for breakfast, salads, sandwiches and an incredible wood-fired oven for pizzas that can also be taken away. They have a barbecue in the summer on the outside terrace, and it can be booked for parties/events. The food is interesting and tasty, the service is good, and there is plenty of seating inside and out. Full alcohol license, and just as good for a cup of tea and a cake.
