Restaurant Reviews

12 St George's Street, London W1S 2FB

Coming from the same group that opened Sumi and Endo at the Rotunda, this is a wood fire concept in Mayfair. The open kitchen is dominated with a huge wood grill, with the counter right in front of that being the place to be. The menu features dishes cooked over fire using a number of methods and even some of the cocktails are set on fire.

94 Kensington High Street, London W8 4SH

Jacuzzi comes from the Big Mamma group, also known for the hugely popular Circolo Popolare and Gloria. Here in Kensington it's an opulent three-floored affair decked out with trees and flora throughout. As for the food, expect Italian cuisine in huge portions and a few high-end items like caviar that are better priced than you might find elsewhere.

1 Tolpuddle St, London N1 0XT

With an ex-Fifteen chef Nathan Collymore in the kitchen, this modern Caribbean restaurant and cocktail bar is genuinely changing the face of Jamaican-influenced vegan food in London.

422 St John St, London EC1V 4NJ

Owner Mr Pham trained up at Suntory and Miyami before opening his own sushi counter spot by Angel. For more than a decade they’ve been building up a fiercely loyal Islington clientele, and have recently had a very modernist makeover.
