Restaurant Reviews

Peninsula Square, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10 0SQ

This is Stevie Parle's restaurant in Greenwich. Expect the menu to reflect the food that he loves: simple home-cooking and experiments with every day ingredients but with a focus on fresh, more locally-sourced British food.

90 Berwick Street, London W1F 0QB

This has been set up by Alan Yau, opening right next door to his old restaurant Yauatcha. He's reinvented the space as a Chinese gastropub - so there's a more pubby environment downstairs with a Chinese restaurant upstairs. Expect a big focus on the duck, of course.

Arch 338 Acton Mews (Between Dunston St & Dunston Rd), Haggerston, London E8 4EA

This is a joint venture between Josh Katz (ex Galvin Bistrot de Luxe and Ottolenghi) and Mattia Bianchi (ex Ottolenghi and Ben Spalding). It takes inspiration from Turkey's Mangal restaurants, the grill & kebab houses of Istanbul, the food stalls of Jmaa al Fna in Marrakesh and the Shipudim in Tel Aviv. Essentially expect a lot of grilled meat and veg.

53 Lexington St, London W1F 9AS

One of the most successful example of street food vendors going permanent, this is one of the toughest places to grab a seat at in Soho. But when you do, the steamed milk buns that are at the heart of the menu make it all worthwhile.
