Positioned at the top end of the Fulham market, My Dining Room offers guests a relaxed space with a feeling of intimacy. The stylish interior features clean, dark wood velvet paneling with a full terrace window which is great at dusk or sunny days. The lounge area is perfect for lingering around with food and cocktails and enjoying the warmth of the fireplaces.

In the kitchen, Julian Marshall, for many years an executive sous at The Lanesborough under Paul Gaylor and then head chef at Mosimann's, has designed a menu that focuses on traditional recipes with a mixture of modernity and class, including delectable options such as baby gem and smoked chicken Caesar with garlic croutons and anchovies, or veal kidney with wholegrain mustard and dauphinoise potatoes.

Special features include the 'home dishes' designed with sharing in mind, such as simply roasted sea bream with herbs stuffing, carrots and leeks, confit of duck shepherd's pie with savoy cabbage or a whole roast garlic chicken with lemon confit; similarly with the puddings like chocolate mousse or English rhubarb trifle with sherry cream.

Not only does this make the whole experience a much more convivial one, it also helps to keep the cost down as generous portion size would suit four people normally.

Service, organised by the hugely experienced Olivier Lavigne du Cadet, is exemplary, and means that though My Dining Room comes under the wide-ranging heading of gastropub, it offers something that is genuinely different.

The wine list features organic and biodynamic wines, served by the glass or carafe, leaving you to try some unusual wine such as the Gamay d'Auvergne.
