Restaurant Reviews

20 Caledonian Road, London N1 9DU

The Yellow Bittern takes a somewhat unusual approach to a restaurant, opening only on weekday lunchtimes (in two sittings) and only accepting payment by cash (and booking by phone only). Closer to a supperclub than a restaurant, the menu is by chef Hugh Corcoran, expect a regularly changing menu with a little bit of Irish influence.

Topa takes over Provisions wine and cheese shop on Holloway Road in the evenings, transforming it into a Basque-inspired restaurant and wine bar. There's a menu of pintxos which changes regularly, all prepared in the tiny cooking space at the back. That's all paired with the excellent wines and cheese that Provisions is already known for.

Unit 2, 57 Pimlico Road, London SW1W 8NE

This restaurant and wine bar is a team-up between ex-Elystan Street chef Aaron Potter and interior stylist, Laura Hart. In charge of the food side of things, Aaron is focusing on a Mediterranean-influenced menu while Lauran manages front of house and a wine bar that's notably good value for the area. It's all in a beautiful setting too.

1 St James's Market, St. James's, London SW1Y 4QQ

Jason Atherton has transformed the building that used to hold Aquavit into an opulent restaurant and bar. The restaurant is inspired by British dishes and seasonality, with standout dishes including a marmite custard tart with caviar. Upstairs you'll find a hidden away cocktail bar called Apples and Pears with Atherton's customarily excellent cocktails on offer.
