Hakkasan, 8 Hanway Place W1. Tel: 020 7927 7000. Tube: Tottenham Court Road

Hakkasan is a Japanese/Chinese fusion restaurant that serves great cocktails. The restaurant is underground and you need to walk down a dark alley to get to it - it felt a bit dodgy at the time.

Inside, it's intimate and has a good atmosphere.

Bam-Bou, 1 Percy Street W1. Tel: 020 7323 9130. Tube: Tottenham Court Road

The food at Bam-Bou is a French/ Vietnamese combination. At first I was unsure, but a friend booked me a table and I really enjoyed it. Outside, there are two big flaming posts, so it really stands out.

Soho House, 40 Greek Street W1. Tel: 020 7734 5188. Tube: Tottenham Court Road

A members' club, but I like the restaurant because of the traditional food such as steak and lamb in big portions. The decor is classic too. You sit on big leather couches or outside on a roof terrace, which is lovely in summer.

Balans, 60 Old Compton Street W1. Tel: 020 7439 2183. Tube: Tottenham Court Road

There is a Balans cafè you can go to by day, but the main restaurant is a few doors away. I have the smoked chicken all the time. In fact, I think that is all I have ever had in there, but it tastes good. It is open until about 3am, so it's perfect for a late night or a few drinks after a show.

Oxo Tower Barge House Street SE1. Tel: 020 7803 3888. Tube: Blackfriars

I have only been here in the day and again I probably had chicken. I bet on a clear night you can see all London; the views are amazing. There is an area where you can sit outside, and inside is light and airy.

Jon Lee is playing the lead role of Marius in the musical Les Miserables at the Palace Theatre.
