Rank 15. St. John

Wood panelling and soft light frame a Mayfair institution where grass-fed British beef, dry-aged and char-grilled, arrives without pretense or flourish.

A narrow Soho counter where the rhythm turns on a daily rotation of flavours that shift with the season, each batch arriving with the precision of a pastry chef's timing. The espresso is sharp, the biscotti snaps clean, and the ice cream tastes like it was made an hour ago—because it was.
