If you're looking for something a little bit quirky for a London birthday meal, look no further than Upper House in Islington. The venue has transformed an old town house with stencilled walls, antique furniture and a menu that serves seasonal and fresh produce. It's also a great option for large bookings with their private areas available for hire.
Fire and Stone cater to groups big and small, bringing a fun atmosphere, delicious food and great cocktails to make an amazing birthday venue. Their menu is packed with pastas, salads and pizzas, with the latter having flavours based on cities from around the world – think Cairo and Mumbai. Now, that's a conversation starter.
A complete fave amongst the DesignMyNight team, Corazon is the intimate Soho joint that's stolen all our hearts. Inspired by Mexico, the restaurant is perfect for that low-key birthday shindig, with plates of authentic nosh and plenty of margaritas - if you are planned on getting a little carried away...
Toast to an unforgettable night of Michelin-star food and incredible wine at Gordon Ramsay's Pétrus. Nestled in the hubbub of Knightsbridge, the European-inspired restaurant also offers you a private dining option or, if you're really looking to push the boat out, you can experience a seven-course bespoke menu cooked in front of you as part of the Kitchen Table package.
The Harcourt in Marylebone is an excellent choice for a fancy pants London evening for your birthday celebrations. Head to this beautiful pub to feast Scandi style on everything from reindeer to smoked salmon. If there's a big group of you, hire out the upstairs dining room for a private party with a Central London edge.

While Humble Grape's 30 glasses and 400+ bottles of wine might make it an ideal wine bar to visit, their menu – ranging from small plates and bar snacks to cheese and charcuterie and big dishes – it's amazing for birthday celebrations in London too.
Looking for a North London restaurant to celebrate your big day? Head to Islington's stunning Megan's restaurant, which is decked out with fairy-lights and holiday-inspired interiors.

The perfect spot for a twinkly late-night birthday dinner, Fucina serves classic Italian dishes with a contemporary twist.
