Shoreditch, Clerkenwell

The Pachamama team completed their Mediterranean reinvention with Lagana, a Greek-inspired spot in Shoreditch. Here, you'll find a menu built around freshly baked lagana flatbread with seasonal dips, alongside dishes like courgette tempura, loukoumades stuffed with Graviera and lamb kebab with cumin yoghurt. Expect skewers, dry-aged picanha, and a bouillabaisse riff too. Meanwhile, the interiors pair wabi-sabi walls with vintage chandeliers, while drinks include a frozen pomegranate pisco sour.

Legado is the second restaurant from Nieves Barragan, who won a Michelin star for Sabor. The Shoreditch restaurant, dominated by a huge open kitchen and counter, features dishes from across Spain, delivered with the panache that you'd expect from the chef. That's paired with an excellent Spanish wine list and an all-day bar with its own snacks menu.

This is the second Singburi, which saw the extremely highly rated Thai restaurant move from Leytonstone to a much bigger (and shinier) setting in Shoreditch. Still very much a family business, son Sirichai Kularbwong is now in charge, cooking up an authentic Thai menu that's one of the very best in London.

Duchy took over the space that used to be Leroy, with two people working in that restaurant leading Duchy. The room got a light refresh but the menu has had a bigger shift, moving into an Italian/French territory with a little Alpine influence in there too. The menu reads exceptionally well, the wine list is great and even the house bread (fougasse) is a must-have.
