3 South Place

Open from early morning for breakfast, weekends for brunch, and serving candlelit dinners till late, 3 offers comfort food with particular attention to provenance. The runny honey comes from a beekeeper in Shropshire; the London-smoked salmon from a family business in Hackney; and cuts of meat for the Josper are selected by George Blackwell at Heron’s Farm. Complementing the food is a short, sharp list of wines available by the glass, carafe and bottle. Twice a month there are musical guests at the popular Bellini brunch, but every week is a glamorous, social occasion in the sunny dining room. Public transport: Moorgate and Liverpool Street underground stations.
