The Restaurant at South Place Hotel

"The first hotel from the D&D hospitality group (Bluebird Chelsea, Quaglino's) has just 80 rooms and will flaunt two Tony Fleming-helmed restaurants: a mod British diner called 3 South Place, and the rooftop spot Angler for seafood and rapturous views"

"By evening, the two restaurants, Angler and a 3 South Place Bar & Grill, have lured both named chefs and some of the liveliest professionals from the City before they head just east to the party grounds at Spitalfields"

"With its professional and friendly service and Michelin-star restaurant, it’s hard to find fault with South Place Hotel -- except maybe the hefty price tag"

"Within one year of opening, the top-floor, fish-focused restaurant, Angler, already had a Michelin star"

"The muted top-floor Angler restaurant is a superbly oiled operation, there’s a pretty interior courtyard garden bar, and the ground-floor 3 South Place bar-diner segues neatly from smooth breakfast operation to boisterous bar"

"For dinner and views of the entire city, take the speedy lift up to Duck and Waffle, on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, or to one of the three restaurants in the Shard"

"The first hotel venture from D&D London, the parent group that bought Conran's restaurants, South Place has 80 bedrooms, in-room technology by Bang and Olufsen, three bars and a restaurant (naturally) headed by chef Tony Fleming"

"Sip a gin cocktail among the palm fronds in the Secret Garden bar; dine on turbot in dashi broth at the Michelin-starred restaurant; and bed down in a room with rain showers bigger than the average kitchen"
