Restaurant Reviews

96 George Street, London W1U 8AF

Soraya is by the same group behind hugely popular restaurants Nina, Bottarga and Lagana. While those are Mediterranean-focused, this takes a Persian-inspired approach, with flatbreads, kebabs and more on the menu. Expect the usual vibey room from the team here too.

8-10 Old Jewry, London EC2R 8DN

The Albatross is the first pub from the group behind Goodman and Wild (and it's only a few doors down from Goodman City). It's a very big pub with a sizeable dining area, where the focus is on a seafood menu (you'll see huge king crabs in the tank here). There's plenty of space to drink here too, and the beer is very well priced for the area.

42 Maiden Lane, London WC2E 7LJ

Cassette is a modern French bistro in Covent Garden from the people who are behind Levan in Peckham. Here, they've been inspired by the new wave of Parisian French bistros, so you'll see some familiar French dishes on the menu, but with new takes form the team here. The wine list is strong, they've got a great sound system (that doesn't overwhelm) and the terrace space outside is one of the best in Covent Garden.

7 Kensington Mall, London, W8 4DY

From the people behind Dorian, Nakimushi brings together two of their former residencies with chefs Yuji Shimokawa Kelly and Robin Kosuge in the kitchen here. They're working on a modern Japanese menu that also features some particularly excellent ramen dishes, all within a beautifully decked-out Notting Hill townhouse.
