An occasion restaurant, if ever there was one, Les Trois Garcons has all the vital embellishments to ensure that your night is a memorable one. Owned by an international male threesome—Hassan Abdullah, Michel Lasserre and Stefan Karlsson, Les Trois is too opulent to work as a convincing daytime venue, but after twilight sets in, the whole place glimmers with seduction. With glamour, a lavish storybook interior and an A-list celeb following, there’s no wonder its become one of London’s sexiest venues. The dark wood interior is lit by candlelight and glistens with chandeliers while displays of designer handbags, playful taxidermy, jewelled surfaces and mirrors compete for your attention.

Elegant and typical French dishes consistently please, but are slightly over-priced—á la carte meals clock in at £42.50 for two courses and £49.50 for three courses. A small price to pay for the tres romantique kaleidoscope of dazzling touches, all of them weapons for mass seduction. Flirtation and frisson: oh-so-perfect for anniversaries, romantic meals, marriage proposals and intimate first dates. Men, thank us later.
