Restaurant Reviews

274 Latimer Rd, London W10 6QW

This west London pub has a team of hospitality royalty behind it. The Spiteri family have all been involved in some of Londo's very best restaurants and they've united for this neighbourhood pub. Half dining room, half proper pub this features excellent cocktails alongside ice-cold pints and a fantastic menu from Lorcan Spiteri, who was previously behind Caravel. Make sure to order the excellent pork belly skewers if they're on.

7 West Lane, London E22 3AA

Nora comes from the same brothers who have opened Beam cafés across London, but this time they've opened a modern Turkish restaurant, taking specific inspiration from Istanbul. On the menu here, you'll find everything from breads and mezze to kofte kebabs and more.

81 Goldsmith’s Row, London E2 8QR

After building a following with sell-out supperclubs, Ziad Halub and Farsin Rabiee opened Logma in a permanent Hackney space. The café focuses on Iraqi and Iranian comfort food, serving pastries, coffee and extremely popular sandwiches by day. In the evening, there are weekly supperclubs with changing set menus. It’s a relaxed, personal take on Middle Eastern cooking that already has a loyal fanbase.

26 Denman Street, London W1D 7HX

After buzzy pop-ups, Kumori landed its first permanent home in Soho. Founder Marc Flekei brought in ex-Tobi Masa head chef John Randy De Guzman and senior sushi chef Alvin Contawe (Dinings, Roka). It’s a 30-seat, counter-only setup focused on made-to-order handrolls wrapped in extra-crisp nori. Expect combinations like spicy tuna with jalapeño miso, unagi foie gras, torched scallop and toro with bone marrow, plus vegetarian options.
