Where to eat fondue in London + Test Driving The Yellow Bittern, this week's openings, offers & more...

EDITOR'S LETTER

I don't know about you but I always think of Asterix when someone mentions fondue, with everyone screaming "Into the lake!" as a forfeit to anyone losing their bread in the pot. Happily, the places we're covering in today's guide to all things melted and cheesy are much more forgiving.

In other news, we took a trip to King's Cross to check out the most talked-about restaurant in London right now, The Yellow Bittern. Here's our take.
