Heddon-ism
Summer time

Eating outside is all very well in this weather but it kind of spoils the vibe when you're inhaling traffic fumes along with your Pimms and seared tuna. Which is why it's always worth remembering more secluded, yet conveniently central, spots like Heddon Street in Mayfair.

To make the charmingly cobbled Parisian-style patch even more enticing, Momo (the place that put the street on the map in the first place) is celebrating its tenth anniversary by offering a new, expanded menu at Mo Tearooms, the more laidback alternative to eating at the restaurant next door.

You may not get the same late-night hip-shaking action in the Tearooms but you can get crispy king prawns with avocado hoummus, filo parcels of smoked haddock with coriander pistou and other delicious Middle Eastern mezze.

As well as this, home of the yummiest pastries and brunchie-type bites Aubaine is bringing its Euro-charm to the area with the added attraction of a downstairs wine bar serving cheeses and charcuterie, and a cheeky new Italian called Piccolino has opened serving up stone-baked pizza and other alfresco delights to peckish punters. A day skiving off work has suddenly become extra appealing.

Mo Tearoom, 25-27 Heddon St, W1 - 020 7434 4040
Aubaine, 4 Heddon St, W1 - 020 7440 2510 (fr. 14 May)
Piccolino, 21 Heddon St, W1 - 020 7287 4029
