Mighty Mediterranean haunt Sonya is bringing a fusion of Greek and Turkish plates to Chelsea. Pastel pink on the outside and fronting dark wooden furnishings on the inside, it's a cosy modern bistro in essence, with marble tables and dangling lights. Head out the back to discover a Secret Garden laced with authentic, painted plates, Grecian statues and a painting of a giant octopus. Equipped with a retractable rooftop, it offers a space to enjoy dirty za'atar martinis and mezcal pomegranate palomas all year round. Whether you're dining at breakfast, lunch or dinner, expect the highest quality produce and menus that change with the seasons. From Bodrum to Naxos, its inspiration stems from the Aegean coast and tasty highlights include porterhouse steak to share, calamari and warm banana bread with tahini butter for a morning pick-me-up. 

This excellent, Aegean-inspired bar and restaurant on Rupert Street is all about classic flavours with modern twists. Hovarda is an incredibly pretty setting spread over two floors, adorned with soft pink, tasselled chandeliers, golden backlit drinks cabinets and glowing sketches on the walls (and even around the rim of the bar). Full of patterns and elegant, ornamental fixtures, it's a dainty space to delve into Mediterranean fare and sip cocktails from award-winning mixologist Cihan Anadologlu. On the menu, you'll find a mix of martinis nodding to Greece, France, Turkey and beyond, as well as wines including Greek grape varietals. Food-wise, you can expect to wolf down the likes of gemista (dolma, feta cream and almond creamed potatoes), roasted monkfish fillet and octopus carpaccio, followed by lokma with thyme honey and walnuts, served with Madagascan vanilla ice cream for dessert. 

Opened by Peter Waney and his brother Arjum, who have gone on to acquire and revamp the award-winning Oblix at The Shard and Coya in Piccadilly (to name a few), Meraki is a swish restaurant slinging out scrumptious Greek and Mediterranean food. The space oozes warmth and cosmopolitan energy, decked out with chandeliers and monochromatic images between brick-lined walls. Boasting a bar, dining area and living room, it provides a number of spaces to suit its guests' needs. The menu includes dishes made with authentic ingredients sourced straight from Greek regions, such as tomatoes from Santorini and butter from Crete. At its helm is global head chef Sanjay Dwivedi who is behind soulful plates of yellowtail ceviche, butterfly seabream and beef cheek tagliatelle with black truffle. Before diving straight into moreish mezze, sip on some bespoke cocktails, such as The Volcanic, made with Vlocan Blanco tequila and Mastic Tears, or the Demeter's 'Exotic Field', containing a homemade fruit blend and chilli syrup. 

If you're on the hunt for the best Greek restaurant in North London then you'll find it while wandering up Regent's Park Road. Sporting Art Deco lettering above a dark wooden door bookended by vibrant paintings of citrus fruits is Lemonia, a pretty eatery that's been around since 1979. Inside, you'll find a main dining area reflective of a Mediterranean courtyard, boasting dangling foliage and bursts of natural light. Here you can devour authentic plates of food paired with wine, such as halloumi souvlaki, octapodi (a salad of fresh octopus in olive oil), and flakey layers of baklava soaked in honey for dessert. 

When it comes to the best Greek restaurants London has to offer, Kima is a front-runner. Decorated with simple interiors that include golden accents and dark panelling, it's the ultimate destination to immerse yourself in some of the freshest seafood around. Founded by managing director Andreas Labridis and executive chef Nikos Roussos (whose career boasts two Michelin stars), it adopts a 'fin-to-gill' approach to its cooking and wasting as little as possible. Delight in beautifully presented plates of sea bream shank fricassee, aged tuna steak or take a chance on the catch of the day. Finish off with a classic cocktail, a glass of Greek wine, or a tipple from its large sake selection.

Brought to you by the same team behind the Michelin-mentioned Mazi is Suzi Tros, a Northern Greek-inspired restaurant taking inspiration from Thessaloniki. Modern interiors cover the dining room from wall to wall, with simple mirrors, wooden beams and geometrical flooring. Its name directly translates as 'Suzy you eat' and comes from the famous Greek movie 'Pariziana' and, located in the neighbourhood of Hillgate Village, it provides a relaxed bistro where dishes are designed to be shared atop pretty brown tables. Tuck into moreish plates of tzatziki, spicy whipped feta, sea bream carpaccio and crispy fresh calamari alongside a handmade parsley mayo. Its imperative to leave room dessert as the coffee profiteroles with a dark chocolate ganache are not to be missed, as well as the Summer in Hydra cocktail, made up of Ouzo, cucumber, honey and mint. 

When it comes to finding a fantastic Greek restaurant in Central London, modern dining spot Ospo is right up our street. With a name that's ancient Greek for delicacy, it certainly provides food of that ilk, with a contemporary perspective and flare for high-quality, seasonal ingredients, most supplied directly from Greece. On the ground floor, you'll find a crisp, white-tiled bar sporting blue sketches of famous dishes - here is home to a selection of authentic liqueurs used in signature cocktails like an Aged Negroni, which is left for 6 months in an oak barrel to give it its distinct flavour. The dining area is comfortable, with large marble tables as the centrepiece fronting mouthwatering dishes such as ox tongue with tomato, egg and lemon 'giouvarlakia' lamb dumplings, plus octopus 'stifado' alongside black-eyed beans and caramelized onions.
