Looking for an eatery on the up to entertain clients, then check out these seven new winners of AA Rosette awards – and no they’re not all in London.

Leading the field with four AA rosettes is Mayfair’s The Square, a stylish and sophisticated restaurant, famous for the imaginative and classically based French dishes prepared by chef and co-owner, Phillip Howard. It has been acknowledged by the AA for its continued high standards and for providing inspiration to peers throughout the industry.

The lastest three AA rosette winners include:
• Arbutus, a new restaurant in London’s Soho, serving inspirational European and French cuisine.
• L’Atelier, an exciting first London venture for the highly celebrated French chef, Joel Robuchon.
• La Noisette, of Sloane Street, London, also a newcomer, offering a classic fine dining experience with dishes prepared by acclaimed chef Bjorn Van der Horst.
• Linthwaite House Hotel's Lake District restaurant has been recognised for the flair of new recruit, Simon Bolsover, one of the new generation of talented young British chefs.
• Roka, located in the heart of London’s media district on Charlotte Street, serving contemporary Japanese robatayaki cuisine in striking yet informal surroundings.
• Sienna in Dorchester, opened in April 2003 by Russell & Eléna Brown and with a reputation for fine, modern British food using good seasonal produce.

Commenting on the awards, the AA’s chief hotel and restaurant inspector, Peter Birnie, responsible for examining and selecting the winners, said: “There is an impressive number of restaurants opening throughout the capital and across the UK, all boasting innovative menus, highly talented and inventive chefs and mouth watering dishes. I am delighted to be awarding such remarkable newcomers as well as rewarding those more established eateries who continue to raise the standards and thus encourage excellence in the industry.”
