It may be a little cloudy in London today, but the following best bars and restaurants are doing their best to put a ‘spring’ in our step...

Seasonal recipes from Arabica Bar & Kitchen
James Walters, founder of Levantine-inspired restaurant Arabica Bar & Kitchen, has developed a bank of seasonal spring recipes that showcase the powerful flavours of the sun drenched shores of the Eastern Mediterranean. With deliciously charcoaled flavours (perfect for the barbecue!), recipes include Grilled gilt head bream with charred fennel salad and a punchy chilled summer soup – created as part of its support towards the Soup for Syria campaign – with avocado, garlic, urfa chilli, pepper, cucumber and mint. Additionally, James has created a collection of cocktails with an exotic Levantine twist. Take a bow, the Arabica Summer Cup (a Middle Eastern take on the classic Pimm's).
