To get to the elite Gordon Ramsay at the London, you must pass through a kind of upscale bar and coffee shop called the London Bar. This big, tourist-mobbed space off the hotel lobby is decorated like a mod sixties-era department store, with silvery baubles on the walls. The menu is a mishmash of small-bite "tapas style" Ramsay creations, which issue from the kitchen with startling, assembly-line-like speed. — Adam Platt

If you have a taste for bracing whiskey cocktails, take note of Ramsay's signature drink, the Diablo, made with a blended Scotch, a Mathilde raspberry liqueur, a splash of lime and ginger beer, on the rocks.
