Nam Long Le Shaker, London

This bankers' hangout has the best cocktails in London. The narrow bar, lined with colonial-style wicker chairs, is the premier purveyor of the infamous Flaming Ferrari cocktail that will literally set you on fire if you're not careful! Jeffrey Archer's son was part of the so-called Flaming Ferraris, a group of young, cocky bankers who would down these after a hard day's work. Try something off the perfectly adequate Vietnamese menu served in the quaint adjourning the bar. The Chinese-tinged menu includes stir-fries, barbecued meats, tasty appetizers and noodles, all usually a bit too oily. Although the cocktails will seriously drain your pocket, the food is reasonably priced.
