London’s best restaurants might be called essential; London’s best new restaurants might be called hot. These restaurants are special usually for a sense of occasion — a meal eaten in service of celebration, or remembrance, or a long-lost friendship reunited; a purpose outside of eating. But so many wonderful, brilliant, essential London restaurants command and commend the purpose of eating, of sustenance, of sharing food with guests and the communities in the immediate doors and streets, with occasions to be celebrated, but never feeling as if they would be inaccessible of a lazy weeknight. These hidden gems, off-radar restaurants, and menus built either without a thought for or before social media and PR started to pull so many invisible strings are in many ways truly London’s best, and most essential restaurant. So try one, try many, try them all, from this rotating suite of London restaurant recommendations for the weekend, or perhaps any time hunger strikes.
