Italian · Shoreditch · Covent Garden
Burro
Conor Gadd's confident hand with Italian cooking shines through daily-changing antipasti and standout pastas like fettuccini with duck ragù, while the kitchen's knack for humble ingredients—think braised beef shin with polenta—reveals real depth. The dining room splits the difference between Irish country kitchen and 1950s Italian bistro, creating a warm, unpretentious setting that matches the food's generosity.
Italian · Covent Garden
Burro
Burro channels classic Italian sophistication with richly textured dishes that feel both refined and deeply satisfying—the Venetian chicken liver paté is a masterclass in understated elegance. It's the kind of old-school establishment that reasserts proper standards in a neighbourhood better known for tourist traps.

Frothee
Frothee has turned matcha into a destination, with its vibrant drinks and devoted following now extending beyond its original home to a fresh West End outpost. The cult appeal lies in taking the green tea category seriously—elevated execution and genuine quality have transformed what could be a fleeting trend into something with real staying power.
