34 Mayfair, London
Gemma Arterton
Actress
I love the 34. It makes me feel quite chic, because it’s in Mayfair, and they do good cocktails. I don’t go out for dinner often, so when I do I like to live it up a bit. It has a really good vegetarian menu; I’m not vegetarian but I mostly eat vegetarian food. I also like the Wallace restaurant. It’s a gorgeous setting, really quite romantic.
