curated places
The Wolseley
London's most glamorous grand cafe. A Venetian palazzo of a restaurant where power breakfast is an art form.
St. John
The nose-to-tail temple. Fergus Henderson's whitewashed former smokehouse has been serving offal and bone marrow since before it was fashionable.
The River Cafe
Elegant Italian cooking on the Thames for 35+ years. Ruth Rogers' kitchen has trained more great chefs than culinary school. The produce is impeccable.
Brat
Tomos Parry's wood-fired brilliance above a pub. Whole turbot cooked over fire, simple preparations, maximum flavor. Basque inspiration, London energy.
$$$$The Clove Club
Isaac McHale's refined British cooking in a Shoreditch town hall. The tasting menu is precise, inventive, and proudly local.
$$$Gymkhana
JKS Restaurants' Michelin-starred Indian that treats the cuisine with the respect it deserves. Colonial club aesthetics, modern technique, traditional soul.
$$Dishoom
Bombay cafe nostalgia for the Instagram age. The black daal has cult status, the bacon naan roll cures all ills, and the queues are part of the experience.
$$$Quo Vadis
A Soho institution since 1926. Three floors of dining rooms plus a members-only club above.
