Chef Leonel Aguirre heads up both Restaurant Mauro Colagreco and the Chefs Table at Raffles London at The OWO. Having worked all over the world from Singapore and Argentina to Colagrecco's Mirazur in the south of France, he now calls London his home. He's agreed to share his favourite food and drink places in Willesden Green with Hot Dinners readers.
Beer + Burger
88 Walm Ln, London NW2 4QY
My favourite place close to home to have a good cheeseburger and a pint of beer. Especially on Sunday nights. Despite the name, they also offer a great selection of natural wines made in the UK.
Sushi Masa
33B Walm Ln, London NW2 5SH
Top choice for sushi lovers, and it's a family-run business, which I love. Minimalist, cosy and compact bar, ideal for a relaxed meal.
Sanzio
26 Station Parade, London NW2 4NH
Authentic Italian, with a warm, buzzy atmosphere. It delivers reliably in quality and value. A true neighbourhood gem.
G S Asian Canteen
18-20 High Rd, London NW10 2QD
A cool indie vibe, solid Vietnamese (and French-inspired) street food. It has communal tables. I get the Home Smoked Brisket Banh M or Bun Xao - both incredible and filling.
Gail’s
82 Walm Ln, London NW2 4RA
Yes, it's a well-known chain, but I really like a latte and their ham and cheese croissant with a ginger shot on the side, to set me up for a day behind the pans in the kitchens!
