Morito – Exmouth Market<\/h2>\n

The owners of Moro, the acclaimed Spanish restaurant on Clerkenwell<\/a>\u2019s Exmouth Market, have opened a small tapas bar, Morito<\/a>, right next door to their main restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"Morito<\/p>\n

This is one of our favourite tapas bars in London and definitely worth a visit. Reserved for walk-ins only, this is one of the best no booking restaurants in London<\/p>\n

Blacklock, Soho<\/h2>\n

\"Blacklock<\/p>\n

Specialising in Chops and only chops, this is a Soho favourite.<\/p>\n

Order the “all-in” that gives you a mix of lamb, pork and beef chops served on a char grilled flat bread that soaks up all the juices – beautiful!<\/p>\n

\"Blacklock<\/p>\n

Opera Tavern – Covent Garden
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The most recent restaurant from the team behind Salt Yard and Dehesa, Opera Tavern in Covent Garden saves its downstairs tables and counter seats for walk-ins.<\/p>\n

\"Opera<\/p>\n

Located in a renovated pub, the Spanish restaurant and tapas bar retains some of the building\u2019s original features, and the exposed bricks and low lighting create a relaxed, intimate feel.<\/p>\n

Burger & Lobster – Mayfair, Soho and Clerkenwell<\/h2>\n

\"Burger<\/p>\n

From the people behind the Goodman steak restaurants, Burger & Lobster<\/a> serves, you guessed it, burgers and lobsters, each priced at \u00a320.<\/p>\n

The original site in Mayfair has recently been joined by a sibling on Dean Street in Soho with a new site in Clerkenwell on St John Street due later this year, all designed by designLSM.<\/p>\n

Brasserie Zedel – Piccadilly Circus<\/h2>\n

Hot on the heels of The Delaunay<\/a>, Chris Corbin and Jeremy King launched Brasserie Zedel<\/a> in Soho as a large, bustling Parisian brasserie transported to the heart of London.<\/p>\n

\"Brasserie<\/p>\n

While the room is grand and impressive (designed by David Collins Studio), the food is more casual and very reasonably priced \u2013 just as a brasserie should be.<\/p>\n

The dining room is vast and has over 200 covers, half of which are reserved for walk-ins. The size of the room makes it one of London’s most accessible no bookings restaurants.<\/p>\n

Koya Ko<\/span><\/h2>\n

Koya Ko is inspired by the fast-paced dining of the train station noodle bars found in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the more casual \u2018little sister\u2019 to Koya\u2019s existing restaurants in Soho and the City. It offers a menu designed with takeaway in mind and an intimate, no reservations udon bar to east London.<\/span><\/p>\n
