A city restaurant has been named one of the best eateries in the country to "save your summer" by the Good Food Guide.
Benedicts, in St Benedicts Street, featured in the 23-strong round-up alongside a number of top London restaurants as a go-to summer eats destination.
An introduction reads: "It's been a damp squib of a July and early August, but with the promise of a return to sunnier weather this week, here's a reminder of what summer eating can be all about."
Praising its "genuine happiness" and "colourful" cooking, Richard and Katja Bainbridge's city-centre bistro offers six or nine-course menus that boast bright and contemporary flavours.

Special attention was given to its prawn cocktail tartlet, pan-fried crouton topped with crabmeat, and duck dishes.
The restaurant's overall rating with the reviewer is "very good", with its warmth and strength of recommendation "exceptional".
Benedicts was opened in June 2015 by chef Richard Bainbridge, who won BBC Two's Great British Menu the same year, and his wife Katja.
As well as featuring in The Michelin Guide 2023, it also holds three coveted AA rosettes for culinary excellence.
