Within Shoreditch’s Blue Mountain School (‘dedicated to nurturing engagements and interactions between diverse practices’… most of them expensive!), this hipster dining room is nowadays on version 2.0. Nuno Mendes is no longer involved, and diners no longer all share a communal table: parties of up to four are served in the main dining room; a larger group might be served in the adjacent ‘R&D library’; or there’s a chef’s table for up to six diners. In any case, you are in for £170 per person (with wine pairing at £125 per person) to sample Edoardo Pellicano’s innovative menus – an investment all our reporters who made it say was worth it on account of the outstanding results.

“Nuno Mendes strikes again, outside the box” at his “informal and wonderful” Shoreditch 16-seater, where a once-daily, three-hour sitting provides a “very intimate” happening, which fans hail as “the top dining experience in town”. It is tucked away up a staircase in the ‘nurturing’ environment of the Blue Mountain School – self-described as ‘a progressive vision and a physical place of contemplation’ (where one can spend a ton of money on clothes and other artisanal creations). The meal takes place in a bare terracotta chamber at a shared table, and “the opportunity to watch and interact with the chefs makes the experience so much more interesting”. “An ever-changing, multi-course tasting menu” is served: “inventive, challenging” and “exciting”. It’s “a brilliant concept” and one whose scary expense inspires not a single grumble from anyone commenting this year. And – breaking news… – with a recent change of policy, taking pics for your Insta feed is now not only allowed but encouraged.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
