Restaurant Reviews

21 Stephen Street, London W1T 1LN

Studio Gauthier comes from chef Alexis Gauthier, the man behind the much more high-end restaurant Gauthier Soho. Like that, this Fitzrovia outpost is a fully-vegan affair and brings some of the chef's best plant-based dishes to a bigger audience in a more casual setting (and a little more affordably too).

12 Ash Avenue, Elephant Park, London SE17 1GQ

Kachori is in Elephant & Castle's revamped Elephant Park area and is going for modern regional Indian cooking, taking its influences from Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and the Punjab. It also features top chef Brinder Narula who comes to Kachori from Gymkhana.

86 Brewer Street, London W1F 9UB

This Soho restaurant comes from the people behind Mortimer House in Fitzrovia who brought in chef Tom Cenci to run the kitchen. Billed as a neighbourhood bistro, you'll find European bistro food with a few very specific British influences peppered throughout the menu. So there's a black pudding brioche as well as a jam rolly poly on the menu here. Make sure to try the cocktails and there's a really good non-alcoholic range too.

16 All Saints Road, London W11 1HH

This Notting Hill restaurant comes from Harneet Baweja, the man behind the very popular Gunpowder restaurants. Here, he's gone for something new - specifically a mix of Indian food and disco music, with a focus on the seventies music scene in India. Expect dishes like lamb shank dum biryani or fish chop rogan josh.
