Second helpings: Other TV chefs' restaurants

Cayenne 7 Ascot House, Shaftesbury Square, Belfast, tel: 02890 331 532 The latest peppery offering from Ireland's favourite Ready Steady Cooker, Paul Rankin. Relaxed, designery and buzzy, Cayenne bills itself as Modern Irish with ethnic and Asian influences. Sounds like five-ingredients-in-a-bag to me, but it's as good a way as any to sum up a menu that runs from Finnebrogue venison Bolognese and Thai beef salad, to Moroccan spiced lamb, Japanese miso chicken and Irish cheese and biscuits.

Notting Grill 123A Clarendon Road, London W11, tel: 020 7229 1500 First came the Great Fire in 1666, then the Great Steakhouse Phenomenon in early 2002. Antony Worrall Thompson was one of several London restaurateurs who caught the bug for chargrilled meat. He promptly turned wot woz Wiz into Notting Grill, featuring steak from a different pure breedevery month. "Well bred, well fed and well hung" is the typically modest motto.

City Rhodes 1 New Street Square, London EC4, tel: 020 7583 1313 Rhodes is the anti-Sampson – the shorter his hair is cut, the better he gets. He's also the cook's cook, able to cut an onion while staring sincerely at the camera and running four successful restaurants (this plus Rhodes in the Square and Rhodes & Co brasseries in Manchester and Gatwick). This cool, confident City Rhodes is typical of his cleverly commercial style, with its classy Modern British cooking.
