Paris - Others Near Ze Kitchen
Thanks for the replies. Do you know though if Alcazar is in the same neighborhood roughly as Ze Kitchen?
Paris - Others Near Ze Kitchen
Hello. When last in Paris, we enjoyed dinner at Ze Kitchen and also loved the area at night. What are some other recommendations in the same area. Is L'Alcazar a good choice?

Thanks for the Pizza Pomodoro recommendation. I'm giving it serious thought for Thursday, to visit late, instead of Amaya. I visited the website and it looks great. Question: I see there are two locations. You mentioned that I should go to the Knightsbridge location, but I see that the other (7-8 Bishopsgate Churchyard) is the larger of the two location and seems to be more festive. Thoughts?

It's true. Thursday is a lot. The mom's want tea, so I had to fit it in somewhere and this was the only/day time the Ritz had. It's more of an experience thing. 3 of the 4 of us don't eat much carbs, so it's more of a tea and nibble kind of a thing.
Any thoughts on the rest would be of great help. Thanks again!

Thanks to all for the WONDERFUL advice. It's been incredibly helpful. I'm working on narrowing down the options, and would love it if you could give it a look over to help me finalize: This is what I've got:
wed dinner: Golden Hind
late night pub stop at: Black Friar 174 Queen Victoria Street (open to opinions. looking for traditional pub experience in this neighborhood after an evening walk in the area)
thursday lunch: Barrafina (getting there by noon to avoid line - have a busy day)
thursday tea: Ritz @ 5:30
thursday dinner: Amaya & St.Alban both reserved for 9:30 pm (please help me pick. i thought Amaya would be a fun place, but am reading terrible reviews)
friday lunch: Hakkasan @ 12:30 for dim sum
friday dinner: Maze or Cecconi's (thoughts? i've been to Maze and liked it. which is more expensive? anyone have a thought on Cecconi's?)
saturday lunch: strada at st. paul's or fire & stone (opinions? looking for something fast and easy near st. paul's cathedral)
saturday break: Laduree @ Harrods
saturday night: Zuma @ 9pm
Some of you have offered great ideas for bars too. Would adore suggestions for options of places to go after dinner each night, relatively close by the selected dinner spots. Any thoughts at all are appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the suggestions. It's incredibly helpful. You are right, I don't want to visit places that are just like Miami and NY and I very much want to enjoy something I will find only in London. Of the places mentioned, which are the ones that I should consider for our most indulgent night? Which of these would be best for a faster lunches?

London 4 Americans - Fun,Hip not BIG $$$
I adore London and was there last summer with my boyfriend. We had a 3 dinners:
1. So-so at The Wolsley
2. Good experience at Cinnamon Club
3. Great dinner at Maze
At the time, I chose Maze b/c it is considered the more inexpensive, informal Ramsay experience. We liked it alot, but with the dollar tanking so badly, inexpensive for Americans turned out to be over $300 for the two of us, with no wine and just a cocktail each.
I'll be back in March with my mom, my best friend and her mom. We want to have dinner at nice, fun places, but will probably save a big spluge for when we visit Paris the following week, since the Euro is a bit better than the Pound.
Where can we go for fun, hip, dining with good food, good cocktails, good ambiance. Not looking for cheap, just not over-the-top expensive. Maybe $100 per person or so.
If it helps, for those that know NYC, looking for places like Buddakan, Morimoto's, Del Posto's or those that know Miami, Barton G's, China Grill.
Open to all kinds of food. Any ideas?
