Menu changes daily

What’s the deal? St Petersburg restaurateurs Madina Kazhimova and Anna Dolgushina make their mark on Soho. Recently, they’ve opened a 46-seater modern Mediterranean spot ready to knock your socks off.

What’s the deal? Chef Mitshel Ibrahim aims to bring Italian good vibes and food to Bethnal Green at his restaurant in a former art gallery on the corner of Mare Street. It offers a simple menu of seasonal Italian classics – such as burrata, cacio e pepe and gnocchi cooked to perfection – in an attractive canalside setting.

What's the deal? This modern-Malaysian joint's tiled premises in new venue Market Peckham aren't the vibiest. But chef-owner Abby Lee more than makes up for that with her intensely flavoured dishes, served up in welcoming, casual style.

What’s the deal? Chef Luke Farrell brings the heat with his hotly anticipated Thai restaurant housed within the buzzy JKS-backed Arcade Hall. It’s an uncomprimising menu that doesn’t hold back on the flavour and heat.

What’s the deal? This buzzy Spanish spot is the first solo venture from Nieves Barragán Mohacho, who spent the best part of last decade as the exec chef at Barrafina. Sit at the counter for tapas and you’ll be regaled with delights including lamb sweetbreads and little gem. Or head upstairs for communal tables and a heftier menu, including the sharing suckling pig.

What's the deal? This chic Soho small-plates restaurant serves up meat-free takes on Middle Eastern favourites, including a houmous that comes lovingly decked in browned butter, charred vegetable dishes, and flatbread that's good enough to devour on its own.

What’s the deal? Chef Santiago Lastra’s hotly anticipated Mexican restaurant has quickly become a foodie destination. He uses humble British ingredients and transforms them into high-end set menus, in chic surroundings that also include an on-site tortilla factory and a mezcal bar downstairs.

What’s the deal? A self-proclaimed ‘café-restaurant in the grand European tradition’, The Wolseley combines London heritage and Viennese grandeur. The kitchen is much-celebrated for its breakfasts, and the scope of the main menu is admirable. From oysters to apple strudel, there’s something for everyone.

What’s the deal? This shabby-chic, casual Persian joint on Soho’s Romilly Street is mightier than it looks. Iranian-born chef Kian Samyani presides over an open kitchen that serves up sharing plates and kebabs, including a deliciously juicy charred poussin, alongside a chic line-up of cocktails and a buzzy atmosphere.

What’s the deal? Ikoyi is a big deal. Having just scooped up a second Michelin star, this hip little joint does things differently from the rest of the pack. Chef Jeremy Chan experiments with West African ingredients and pushes boundaries with his uncategorisable food. From smoked jollof rice to ike jime trout, every dish is thrillingly unfamiliar and exciting.

What’s the deal? Caravel is a floating restaurant on a converted barge and the stellar cooking coming from this place will seriously float your boat. Run by brothers Fin and Lorcan Spiteri (sons of two of London’s most renowned restaurateurs mum Melanie Arnold is the co-founder of Rochelle Canteen and dad Jon Spiteri is the co-founder of Session Arts Club). Together, they bring playful takes on modern European and classic British dishes. Think: crunchy potato rostis topped with refreshing sour cream and salty caviar, guinea fowl skewers and artichoke and ricotta ravioli.
