To make this post more practical, i'll avoid long reviews and list my suggestions with short comments and few photos. Hope you find it useful:
1) Palomar: A small busy space that serves modern dishes from Jerusalem. I thought that Tahini was overused in most of the dishes but food was good in general. Lively and joyful atmosphere.
10) Orsini: If you're looking for a quiet break in Knightbridge away from all the busy cafes then this is a good Italian option. It's tiny and authentic.

2) Spuntino: Different always wins, and Spuntino is definitely different. There are no tables for you to be seated and you just have to wait till you find space on the bar where food is served. Good food. A mood lifter!
3) Mount Street Deli: A perfect cafe for a quick breakfast or a cup of coffee when you're around Mayfair. It was an ideal writing spot!
4) 5th View: When you're done book shopping at Waterstones Picadilly, head to the 5th floor for a cup of coffee while flipping through your new books.
5) Honest Burger: Some people claim that this is the best burger in London. I still think that nothing beats Byron! It's worth a try.
6) Ergon: An interesting Greek Deli that we found by coincidence while walking under the rain carrying our shopping bags near Selfridges. It's currently closed.
7) Nordic Bakery: A very neat Scandinavian cafe. The smell of the freshly baked cinnamon bread makes it impossible not to order one.
8) Balthazar: The atmosphere doesn't beat the New York branch but it somehow goes well with the new additions in Covent Garden. Good food.
9) Kurobuta: Japanese like you've never seen it before. Buzzing atmosphere and excellent creative dishes. Must visit!
10) Orsini: If you're looking for a quiet break in Knightbridge away from all the busy cafes then this is a good Italian option. It's tiny and authentic.
11) Roti Chai: A cafe-style restaurant that serves delicious modernized Indian dishes. Interesting interiors and decorations.
12) Workshop: Excellent coffee, gorgeous blue cups and the most delicious brownie i've ever had.
13) Matsuri: A pure Japanese experience that i enjoyed very much. The food was good but it was more about the atmosphere and watching our food being grilled.
14) Homeslice: Huge and delicious pizzas that we shared on a bench outside the restaurant under the rain. Unforgettable experience!
15) Monmouth: Most people think that they serve the best coffee and brownies. But i'm more of a Workshop person.
16) Fernandez & Wells: Their coffee is good for sure but we were disappointed with their breakfast.
17) 202: It's a fashion store/restaurant in Notting Hill that serves very flavorful dishes. Enjoyed every bite.
18) Bone Daddies: A casual walk-in restaurant that serves ramen and Japanese snacks. The food was not wow but it was fun to try.
19) Vintage Salt: This is where you should be when it's sunny and warm. It's located on the rooftop of Selfridges. Excellent food.
20) Pachamama: A Peruvian restaurant with beautiful pieces of furniture and delicious food. Highly recommended.
21) Timberyard Seven Dials: Bright and cheerful for coffee and cake.
22) Department of Coffee & Social Affairs: Grab a cup of coffee every time you pass by it!
23) Dirty Burger: Loved the tiny space and limited chairs.
24) Borough Market: Endless food stands that sell all kinds of baked goods, vegetables, seafood, oils, Indian food, Falafel etc. It could be your wonderland if you love cooking or simply enjoy trying different kinds of food. My favourite was the Truffle Oil stand.
