Whether it's meat-stacked dishes or vegan options, here's a list of west London's most critically acclaimed restaurants according to the food critics and restaurant awards lists.

1. The Ledbury, Notting Hill

The 2 Michelin star restaurant has long been known for it's nourishing dishes, going from caviar to smoked and dried eel. If this doesn't cut it for you, there's also a vegetarian tasting menu which boasts an excellent set of cheeses alongside warming dishes.

2. One o One , Knightsbridge

Labelled the best seafood restaurant by The Telegraph, each dish is inspired by the shoreline, whether it's crab leg or scallops. For an added nautical feel, you step into the oceanic themed decor to give you the full sea factor.

3. Le Gavroche , Grosvenor Square

There is very little chance that Mr Michel Roux could let you down. One of the most well known chefs of our generation, the sample menus at this Micheline starred restaurant is all you could ever want from top end dining. Think cheese souffles, grilled scallops, crackling asparagus, Scottish beef and the best of british farmhouse cheese.

4. Marianne , Notting Hill

Once a butcher's daughter, this incredible chef took her skills to a new level and so, Marianne was born. Vegetarian friendly, she gives ordinary dishes a sophisticated kick - and never turn down the lemon, raspberries and white chocolate souffle.

5. Hedone , Chiswick

Described as refreshingly simple but done with sheer perfection, this Michelin star restaurant has also been awarded the title of 50th best restaurant in the world.

6. Pied A Terre , Fitzrovia

The restaurant, now in its 24th year, has gained some of the highest awards possible and has a sister restaurant in Marylebone.

7. Texture , Marylebone

Have you ever tried modern European cuisine with Scandinavian influences? Neither had we until Texture opened. Listed on the Sunday Times Top 100 restaurants in the country at 40, the restaurant is also big on eco-friendly, sustainable techniques. And the food is unquestionably delicious.

8. The Five Fields , Sloane Square

Expect the finest alternative ingredients at The Five Fields. Also listed on the Sunday Times Top 100 - number 43 - see if your tastebuds enjoy octupus, quail or veal sweetbread.

9. Rasoi , Sloane Square

A restaurant filled with colourful dishes, this Indian cuisine continues to evolve authentic dishes to bring refreshing new tastes to their diners. Enjoy the spices.

10. Yashin , West London

Sushi lovers, look no further. A modern Japanese restaurant, the venue is open for lunch, dinner or a catch up over sake. The bite sized oriental food trend has no ambitions to slow down in London and will continue to be a hit in 2016.

11. Petrus , Knightsbridge

The infamous chef is not causing his usual hell in the kitchens as his slick restaurants perfect the art of eating out.

12. Ametsa with Arzak Instruction , Belgravia

The Spanish restaurant's philosophy is to bring out the country's traditional flavours whilst adding a surprising twist.

13. Koffman's , Knightsbridge

Informal dining in Knightsbridge still tends to be quite a formal affair and this is no different for this restaurant. Part of The Berkeley hotel, their "legendary" dishes are great value for excellent flavours.

14. Zuma , Knightsbridge

A sophisticated restaurant, the Japanese themed dinery still retains a sense of informality. Come here to get authentic flavours of the east whilst enjoying the country's past traditions through the venue's decor.

15. Hunan , South West London

The infamous Hunan is particular well known for one thing - it doesn't have a menu. You don't choose what you eat but merely share how spicy you like the food and watch as the tapas-type dishes come pouring out to full the table. The idea is each person gets their own unique meal. Critics have called it "the best Chinese restaurant in the world."

16. Seven Park Place by William Drabble, St James' St

Just one year after opening, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star and four AA Rosettes.

The restaurant is inspired by French cuisine, but is equally about the design and decor of this stunningly beautiful jewelled interior, so you get an all round perfect dining experience.

17. Wiltons , South West London

Oysters. It's all about the oysters here. Wilton's serves to preserve British traditional menus and gained their first Royal Warrant for supplying Oysters to the Royal household in 1836. A restaurant with a rich history, their seasonal menus are incredible, going from roast parsnips to marinated salm, cod and walnut and chocolate parfaits. Yum.

18. L'Atelier De Joel Robuchon , West London

Peanut butter tart. If that doesn't convince you, we don't know what will. But aside from this, the restaurant, complete with a beautiful terrace, is one to save for treats - caviar, salman tartar, lobstor and black truffle coulis, to name a few luxuries.

19. Chutney Mary, Chelsea

Another one on the Sunday Times Top 100 List for 2015, Chutney Mary has outdone itself to become one of the best Indian restaurants in London. Mixing traditional with the new, the beautiful interior also reflects the glamour of upmarket Indian fine dining.

20. Bocca di Lupo , Soho

The menu here changes TWICE a day to keep up with the seasons, but this is the beauty of this hearty Italian. Also winner of the Best Wine List according to Tatler Restaurant Awards back in 2013, the food here is as good as ever, with a large step away from the usual italian dishes and a focus on regional dishes.
