Restaurant Story, a two-Michelin-star restaurant in London Bridge, is open again after a slick multi-million-pound makeover.

The new and improved hotspot now has a second floor with a sophisticated private dining space, a cosy nook with a blazing fire and plush velvet seating, and a balcony with a top-notch view of The Shard.

Tom Sellers, known for his ability to create playful fine-dining dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia for diners, is in charge. There's a complex and creative 11-course tasting menu, but guests won't know exactly what they're being served until the dish is placed on the table (although we can confirm that a few firm favourites have kept pride of place on the menu – and yes, that includes the infamous beef-dripping candle).

Rest assured, it'll be a delicious and memorable experience with theatrical, fun and fragile dishes that you'll roll into bed dreaming about that evening (and probably the next few evenings, too).
