This stylish and contemporary restaurant lives up to its tagline bringing together 'style and substance' without making it clichéd. Located in Buckingham Palace Road, B Bar and Restaurant primarily combines Modern European, British and a little more than a smattering of African cuisine for the right level of interest. The eclectic décor does give more than a hint of what might be expected from the kitchen, right from the giraffe prints on the furniture to the numerous artefacts and framed prints on the walls.

Start with traditional South African beef biltong salad with a quail egg, herbed croutons and parmesan cheese dressing. Move on to a main course of braised springbok in port wine with gnocchi, button onions, pancetta and baby carrots and end with a delightful honeycomb ice cream with an apple tartlet. The wine list has more than a hundred options with over forty available by the glass, featuring both old and new world producers.
