1. Glitzy cocktails with a Japanese twist: Rika Moon
Notting Hill
Although Rika Moon primarily offers a fine dining experience, we thought their cocktails deserved a place on this list.
Combining the subtlety of Japanese cuisine with locally sourced ingredients, Rika Moon is glitzy with a relaxed atmosphere. It's on the prestigious Kensington Park Road just meters down from Clare Smyths' Core' and offers sashimi, nigiri and specials such as miso black cod.
The cocktails are innovative and an ode to Japanese flavours. How about a Kinoko Negroni with black truffle and shiitake-infused gin or a sesame Old Fashioned? And of course, a range of Japanese whiskeys, wines and other tipples are available.
And finally, to accompany those drinks, the loo has a button labelled disco so you can have your own miniature bathroom rave.
