Restaurants in Middlesex

It's often hard to spot the join between old Middlesex and London when it comes to food and restaurants: there's the same diversity and fascinating mix of flavours, be it top-class Chinese food in Harrow or Michelin-starred French cooking in Twickenham.

Out towards Heathrow is London's 'Little India', congregated around Southall, with all manner of food producers, cultural hot-spots and a clutch of first-rate, totally authentic restaurants while elsewhere, neighbourhood restaurants feed their local population with British and European food.

Friends Restaurant - Pinner A log fire burns in the grate and the two dining rooms are neatly done out in classy contemporary style with colourful floral displays. Menus change with the seasons and inspiration comes from far and wide

Tangawizi - East Twickenham This is a swanky but discreet venue... cutting-edge contemporary Indian cooking

The Wharf - Teddington Lock There are good views of the Thames from this converted boathouse overlooking Teddington Lock; the cooking has changed complexion of late, with a more eclectic slant & lots of Asian influences

Arena Restaurant - Wembley Reckoned to be the longest established family-run restaurant in Wembley
