Restaurant Reviews

Kingly Court, Carnaby, London W1B 5PW.

This all-day restaurant will showcase every imaginable way you could cook a British, free-range chicken. As you’d expect there’s burgers, soups, casseroles and pies but also some more unusual creations such as ‘chicken crisps’ (crispy chicken skins), Vietnamese minced chicken salad, a pulled chicken bap, and harissa hot wings with caramelised orange.

This is the follow up to the diminutive Sushi of Shiori. The larger restaurant allows chef Takashi Takag to run a Kaiseki dining experience in an authentic Japanese setting.

15 The Pavement, Clapham Old Town, London SW4 0HY

The Dairy is what you get if you take a chef trained under Raymond Blanc, inspired by stages at Noma and Frantzen and then let him loose in his own space on Clapham Common. Robin Gill's set lunch is one of London's glorious bargains and while locals may happily pop in for a dish or two and a glass of wine, anyone travelling here will want to spend time working their way through the tasting menu. If it's possible for a restaurant to be both relaxed and exciting then the Dairy manages just that.
