After a few fallow years, Shoreditch's food scene has come roaring back. We've had the likes of One Club Row, Singburi and Angelina open there. Now, hoping to make a similar impact, is a high end deli that's more concept store than city centre supermarket. Nekter Deli.

Legado is the new Shoreditch restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Nieves Barragán that travels the length and breadth of Spain for inspiration. We went to see if this was a sequel worth booking a table at.

The team behind Pachamama have spent the last year moving their restaurants' culinary inspiration point from Peru to the Mediterranean. It's been an extremely successful transformation, with both Bottarga on the King's Road and Nina in Marylebone being big hits.
