Canteen Covent Garden — London, UK

Ever since the success of their temporary residence in London's Covent Garden Piazza, Canteen has been a force on the capital's dining scene. Its latest outpost is sited nearby on the ground floor of the Lyceum theatre. British to the core, the restaurant was fitted, once again, by British design studio Very Good & Proper and features the now popular Canteen Utility Chair. Ethically sourced food, served all day, ranges from roast lunches and egg and chips to afternoon tea with scones, clotted cream and jam.
