Eating out is a real Temptation for Heaven 17 frontman Glenn Gregory. He tells

Retsina Restaurant, 83 Regents Park Road NW1. Tel: 020 7722 3194.

I've been coming here for more than ten years. It's a family-run restaurant: the welcome you get is always warm and genuine and the home-cooked style of food is gorgeous.

Asakusa, 265 Eversholt Street NW1. Tel: 020 7388 8533. Tube: Mornington Crescent

This small Japanese restaurant is a bit dog-eared around the edges but the food is excellent. It has one of the most extensive menus of any Japanese restaurant I've ever eaten in and a mightily impressive selection of sakis.

Nobu, Metropolitan Hotel, 19 Old Park Lane W1. Tel: 020 7447 4747. Tube: Hyde Park Corner

I know it's expensive and a bugger to get a table but the food is so delicious it's worth the wait and price. Just don't let your girlfriend sit facing the restaurant: she'll spend all evening checking out who's with who and what they're wearing.

Curry Manjil, 34 Englands Lane NW3. Tel: 0207 722 9101. Tube: Belsize Park

I went there so often they sent me a Christmas card. They make very fresh, fragrant dishes and have a good selection of Indian beers, essential to a good curry night out.

For the best hangover cure, go there and have two sausages, egg, mushrooms, grilled tomato, beans and two slices of toast washed down with a mug of hot tea. You'd be surprised how many more famous people I've spotted having a fry-up there than I have eating sushi at Nobu.

Gregory's new band, Honeyroot, release their new album, Sound Echo Location, on Just Music on Monday.
