Fitzrovia has long fed more than the office workers who now fill its pavements at lunchtime. Around Charlotte Street, its restaurants sit among pubs and cafes associated with the area's bohemian past; the Fitzroy Tavern, from which the neighbourhood takes its name, was a gathering place for writers and artists. That history gives the dining scene a pleasing lack of uniformity. An expensive tasting menu can be a short walk from a pub lunch, and the best meals here still feel as though they belong to a busy, lived-in neighbourhood rather than a restaurant district designed from scratch.

Pied a Terre, which opened on Charlotte Street in 1991, helped establish Fitzrovia as a destination for ambitious cooking. The Ninth offers Jun Tanaka's more relaxed take on modern European food, while Roka brings the theatre of the robata grill to the same street. A little further west, Ottolenghi's ROVI puts vegetables, smoke and fermentation to vivid use. The pleasure of eating in Fitzrovia lies in that range: you can make an occasion of dinner, but you need not treat the area itself with reverence. Its restaurant history is still being written over lunch, supper and one more drink.
