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.

We booked KiD, the Soho debut from Mangal II’s Sertaç Dirik and David Carter. Here’s everything we ordered, what’s worth it at around £80pp, and our honest verdict.

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.

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.

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.
