– The Clove Club
Named after the supper club that brought its three founders of – Daniel Willis, Isaac Mchale and Johnny Smith – together, this modern British restaurant has been serving arguably the best tasting menu in London since 2013. Seasonal ingredients sing in bimabet the Shoreditch dining room, and service is so impeccable that The Clove Club is more than deserving of its Michelin star. It’s one for a special occasion, rather than a midweek meal.
– Fallow St James, Mayfair
The ceiling drips in dried kelp. A central open kitchen fizzes with activity where tattooed arms slam trays into ovens one second then arrange the garnish on the juiciest oysters you ever did admire with the focussed finesse of a heart surgeon. There’s barely anyone in the whole place aged over 30. The real estate on St James Market can feel a little contrived for my tastes, but here they’ve opened with instant patina and soul. If walls could talk, they’d tell you here that the terrazzo-ish surface is forgivably shellfish – those oyster and mussel shells hail from their award-winning stint on Heddon Street. The interiors throughout are a winner at reusing and repurposing existing fixtures to throw out a fresh new look.
– Singburi
Chef Sirichai Kularbwong is one of the capital’s best and most underrated cooks: inventive, such as phad thai, wok-fried morning glory with garlic and fish sauce, and fiery, acidic tom yums will are available, but look to the blackboard menu for the restaurant’s hits — and never miss the moo krob, twice-fried pork with garlic, basil, and chilli, one of the city’s most accomplished and delicious dishes. Singburi’s small and welcoming dining room is yet to reopen, but its takeaway, when ordered in quantity, has all the gravitas and reverence of any London splurge.
– The Barbary
It’s not possible to have a bad time at The Barbary. Sure, you’ll probably have to queue, but even that’s tolerable, because then you get to feast on moreish deep-fried snacks (like the Moroccan cigars) that don’t appear on the main menu. If the queue is huge and spills out of the door, then you get to hang out in Neal’s Yard, one of London’s loveliest hidden courtyards. The smoky room is stuffed full of music, laughter and people that are beautiful in the best way: inside and out.
