Restaurant Reviews

20 Kensington Church Street, London W8 4EP

By day, this restaurant will look for the world to be a basic hot dog kiosk serving up one classic Yankee dog (served with yellow mustard, red ketchup and spring onions). At night a hidden door to the restaurant downstairs is opened, where they'll be serving up an extended hot dog list and also the 'bones' part of the menu (Boston ribeye steak and more) plus what looks to be a great cocktail list.

Monday – Saturday 11:30 – 23:00

On the Bab - which translates as served 'on the rice' - is East London's first anju restaurant (which according to Wikipedia is the traditional Korean cuisine of consuming food with alcohol, so it's got our vote) offering Korean sharing dishes - and a rather lethal-sounding cocktail list. The 30 seater restaurant won't take reservations and will be open every day for lunch and dinner.

3 Windmill Street, London W1T 2HY

This "sherry tavern" is only a few doors down from Dabbous and specialises in sherry served straight from the barrel, alongside lots of Spanish food - with a bit of a British influence.

41 Earlham St, London WC2H 9LX

The people behind hugely successful ramen bar Bone Daddies have opened a new basement restaurant selling steamed hirata buns with DIY fillings including slow roasted shoulder of lamb with Korean flavours and robata grilled seabass with coriander miso.
