Restaurant Reviews

119 Queens Road, Peckham, London SE15 2EZ

Run by a couple, Kudu pays homage to husband Patrick’s South African roots but borrows inspiration from all over, for instance matching peri peri duck hearts with dukkah. Their boundary-pushing works – the food is different and delicious. Anything cooked on the braai (barbecue) comes recommended but whatever you do, order the Kudu bread with melted lardon butter and sumac. Mind. Blowing.

5 Arundel Street, London WC2R 3DX

Yen has been winning fans for its soba noodles in Paris and this sees them opening their first London restaurant.

Victory House Hotel, 14 Leicester Place, London WC2H 7BZ

The folk behind Randall and Aubin are behind this bistro on Leicester Square, covering all the French-inspired bases a visitor to Central could need, from pancakes to fish and chips and steak.

Granary Square, 1-3 Stable Street, King?s Cross, London N1C 4AB

Granary Square Brasserie is Caprice Holdings big King's Cross space. Food-wise, think of this as similar to one of their Ivy Cafes - so mid-range brasserie dishes in an opulent setting.
