Sotheby’s probably isn’t the obvious spot for a bite to eat but expect that to change very soon .... There’s no bidding, sly winks or old ingredients involved here...........

Rarely was a themed restaurant so aptly named. On the walls, the sort of memorabilia collection befitting Bill Wyman’s 30-odd years with the Rolling Stones (who had an album called Sticky Fingers, in case you weren’t aware). In the booths, lots of people with big grins on their faces and the aforementioned sauce covered digits...

So much of the architecture of the South Bank Centre has been (justifiably) reviled, but even its harshest critics are enthusiastic about the Royal Festival Hall, a good example of ‘60s International style applied to a concert hall instead of a tower block...

The Rainforest Café is the Liberace of themed restaurants – over the top and proud of it. This is The Vegas Amazon, with cascading waterfalls, animatronic gorillas and giant mechanical pelicans, all under a thick canopy of plastic foliage

As a child, my family never really went out to restaurants. Neither of my parents were aspiring gourmets, the costs were generally prohibitive and the youngest member of the clan – me – wouldn’t eat anything more than mash and luncheon meat anyway. My experience of restaurants was thus limited to a 70’s TV/film idealised view: a glamorous, slightly formal

Somewhere between Yatra and Utsav lies the perfect Indian restaurant. Combine Yatra’s atmosphere and Utsav’s food and you’d have to find me a sleeping bag: I doubt I’d ever leave. That’s not to say Yatra’s food is bad. It’s excellent and, like Utsav, owes more to traditional Indian fare rather than the Michelin-grabbing menus of Tamarind etc.
