London Greenwich Restaurant Guide

2019 Review: “Spot on for brunch at any time of the day!” – a superior “local caff” in Greenwich with “good fry-ups” and “lots of healthy options too”: “bespoke English breakfast, great poached egg dishes, super sweet potato fries, good breads, waffles, fab tea and coffee; oh, and maybe a slice of cake to take home!”

“Absolutely top-notch food” – “pricey but great!” – is the key to the steady growth enjoyed by this Copenhagen-based Japanese group, whose most recent (2019) openings in Soho and Chelsea join established venues across London. It’s “an interesting concept, well executed” – “fresh and delicious sushi”, yakitori skewers, and “colourful, almost art-directed salads”, delivered in dining rooms that combine clean, Japanese minimalism with Danish hygge.

“Pies & liquor, pies & gravy – both are excellent” – this traditional pie ’n’ mash house near Greenwich Park was established in 1890, although its menu has moved with the times to incorporate steak, chicken, lamb and vegetarian recipes. “Wonderful counter service” downstairs, or eat with views in the grander first-floor dining room.
