Global hangout C London, Mayfair

If you're the kind of person who loves nothing more than a good people-watching sesh, a dinner at C London will be right up your street. With a famous clientele that includes Simon Cowell, Kelly Brooks and Jude Law, you're likely to be rubbing shoulders with the A-list as well as enjoying a meal in London's restaurant-of-the-moment. You'll find the eatery in West London's terribly stylish and oh-so posh area of Mayfair, and although the Davis Street location, lined with shops and hairdressers, may seem unassuming, you'll spot C London a mile off thanks to the gaggle of paparazzi waiting to snap the next celeb leaving or entering. When inside, you'll be welcomed by Italian staff and a menu so good you'll have to make some tough ordering decisions, although an evening at C London won't be too kind to your credit card - this is a luxe treat. The Italian dishes are expertly prepared and generously dished out, with the Baccala mantecato (black cod) with grilled polenta a signature starter; and for the main course, Veal Milanese, is one of the most popular choices on the menu. Although part of the restaurant's appeal is the star-gazing potential, the eatery has, refreshingly, refused to head down the all-out glamour route, sticking instead to 1930s-style decor. Littered with bronze and dark woods, this homely yet stylish choice is a must-visit the next time you hit the British capital. Not heading to London any time soon? Fear not, the restaurant - which opened in 2004 and used to be called Cipriani - is the sister eatery of Abu Dhabi's Cipriani on Yas Island, so you can sample a slice of it right here in the UAE.Nekorobi, Tokyo How's this for a perfect afternoon?
