Restaurant Reviews

Monday – Saturday 11:30 – 23:00

On the Bab - which translates as served 'on the rice' - is East London's first anju restaurant (which according to Wikipedia is the traditional Korean cuisine of consuming food with alcohol, so it's got our vote) offering Korean sharing dishes - and a rather lethal-sounding cocktail list. The 30 seater restaurant won't take reservations and will be open every day for lunch and dinner.

3 Windmill Street, London W1T 2HY

This "sherry tavern" is only a few doors down from Dabbous and specialises in sherry served straight from the barrel, alongside lots of Spanish food - with a bit of a British influence.

41 Earlham St, London WC2H 9LX

The people behind hugely successful ramen bar Bone Daddies have opened a new basement restaurant selling steamed hirata buns with DIY fillings including slow roasted shoulder of lamb with Korean flavours and robata grilled seabass with coriander miso.

56 Wardour Street, London W1D 4JG

Jackson + Rye is from the people behind Grillshack and offers all day informal menu from breakfast until 'late' - running to midnight on Friday and Saturday. The vibe is very much East Coast America with menus inspired by that part of the world.
