The 11 Best Beaches in Cape Town: Where We Actually Swam
Two summers of Cape Town beach days, boiled down to the 11 we’d send you to: Clifton for a full day, Llandudno for the view and Saunders’ Rocks for a freezing morning dip, plus the tidal pools, the penguins and how to dodge the afternoon wind.
Frog by Adam Handling (Review) - Covent Garden, London
Michelin-starred cooking with a front-row seat to the kitchen. We tried the lunch tasting menu at Frog by Adam Handling in Covent Garden, from a smoked butter rose hiding chicken liver parfait to a cod dish we’re still thinking about. Here’s everything we ate, and why it’s one of the best-value Michelin lunches in London.

Osteria Spina - Folegandros, Greece (Review)
A bumpy dirt track, a cliffside osteria and one of the best meals we've had in years. Spina is the Italian-run hideaway at the far end of Folegandros, where a chef with Michelin-starred experience cooks a daily-changing €70 tasting menu over fire, with vegetables from the garden and fish from local boats.

Riding House Cafe - London, Fitzrovia (Review)
Riding House Cafe helped invent London brunch, and this year it turned 15. We went along to the Fitzrovia original for the anniversary menu: a standout crab, bacon and avocado sandwich, deep-dish pancakes, and a secret off-menu sundae. Here's everything we ate, and our honest take.
Rita’s - Soho, London (Review)
We had heard Rita's was a lovely little Soho wine bar, so on a sunny day last week we wandered in for an impromptu lunch. We stayed for a white bean and miso shrimp tostada, a beautifully cooked whole Cornish mackerel and one of the best Mini Martinis in central London. Here's everything we ate.
Malaysian Deli - Brockley, London (Review)
A tiny, no-frills Brockley room turning out some of the most soulful Malaysian cooking in London. From flaky roti chanai and proper satay to deep, dark rendang and a punchy chicken sambal.
The Blue Pelican - Deal, Kent
A day trip to Deal, built entirely around lunch. The Blue Pelican is the Japanese-inspired seafront spot from the team behind The Rose, and between the clay-baked donabe rice and a hamachi collar off the specials board, it more than earned the journey.

MAAI By Nikita - Clapham, London (Review)
We have followed Nikita Pathakji since her supper club days, so her Clapham debut was always going to be special. Standout lamb, a championship halibut, banana pudding we still dream about, and cocktails you really should not skip
