On the site of Launceston Place restaurant, at one time Michelin-starred and a favourite of Princess Diana, Sartoria has much to live up to. I popped into the launch event, a lively party with free-flowing fizz and an enthusiastic mixture of local residents and fans of Evolv, Sartoria's parent company, and was impressed by the well-thought-out concept, which I suspect is intended to appeal to a sophisticated, international neighbourhood rather than to visitors.

Toyah and Robert Fripp are back in the kitchen with a new episode of Sunday Lunch. This week they're taking on X-Ray Spex 's skronky punk classic "Oh Bondage! Up Yours!" and of course they are decked out in bondage gear, with Robert in gimp mode. This week's sign: "Fripp's Ma Sub." Watch that and live footage of X-Ray Spex's original below.

From the classy old-style menu to the celeb spotting, our critic says you would do well to find a better place for Sunday lunch The Queens in Dalkey, a large hostelry set in a commanding Georgian building, has reigned supreme over the town since 1745. It has always been a colourful spot, from the outside in, starting with the well-tanned and glamorous regulars who adorn the streetside terraces, surveying all who pass in or out.
