Al-Desko Delight
Just because you're eating at your desk after a lunch hour run round St James's, doesn't mean you can't still eat fabulous food. Stop by Shepherds Market on Cardinal Place every Thursday for a sociable midday pitstop. Pick up a Levantine wrap stuffed with vibrant Middle Eastern pickles and falafel (homemade and with natural ingredients) at the family-run ChikP stall, and get some insider-info on their grandma's culinary secrets while you wait.

For a virtuous and speedy lunch break that won't leave you in a carb-coma all afternoon, Sticks'n'Sushi has an array of delights such as ponzu and wasabi grilled avocado, soy-cured salmon and salad bowls packed with goodies like grilled king oyster mushroom, tender stem broccoli and ginger. For a Nordic number, swing by the café in D&D's latest restaurant, Aster, for a open-facing rye sandwich filled with gravadlax and sour cream.

The eclectic list of dim sum – only available at lunch time – is an epicurean journey round China with such delights as Crab, seafood and bean curd cannelloni, pickled cockles, or sesame buttered roast chicken, Chengdu street tofu, soy chilli, peanuts, preserved vegetables.
