Also mentioned was Gloriosa, a West End restaurant with a “cool and cosy” vibe, plating up Mediterranean food.
The list highlighted its terrace as a special feature and said it’s a perfect venue for lunch, dinner and dates.
The list stated: “The menu at Gloriosa is focused on dishes which have been influenced by the Mediterranean and can be paired with a selection of wines from small independent European producers.
“The offering is made up of a short selection of small and large plates, designed to share (we’d recommend ordering five or six dishes between two).”
Gloriosa ranked number 89.
