Restaurant Reviews

45 Jermyn St., London SW1 6DN

A popular St James haunt (and adjacent to Fortnums), this is always busy with a crowd that appreciates its super seasonal menu using the best of British produce. Enjoy the luxury of tableside service including a caviar trolley and the beef Wellington with sauce that’s flambeed right beside you.

41 Kingsland High Street, London E8 2JS

The Black Eel comes from Exale Brewery and has taken over a space that was once an F Cooke pie, eel and mash shop. However, although the front room is clearly and ex pie & mash space, the pub opens back into a series of cavernous rooms and a huge courtyard out the back. As for the food, that's run by a great food residency in the shape of Riley's - their burgers and fried potatoes are fantastic.

1A Langton St, London SW10 0JL

Chef Patron Anna Haugh is a TV regular (now heading up MasterChef), but here in Chelsea just off the King’s Road is where her heart is. Myrtle restaurant serves up modern European food but with a focus on Irish influences and using the best of Irish produce. Also make sure to pop into her excellent wine bar next door, The Wee Sister.

2 Floral Court, Floral Street, London WC2E 9FB

Burro sees Trullo chef/co-owner Conor Gadd taking on his first solo restaurant in Covent Garden. While Trullo has a more neighbourhood approach, Burro is a little more refined and relaxed and alongside the Italian food, you'll find a few touches of his own Irish heritage.
