Vauxhall, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“An architectural salvage display room” lit by chandeliers – in a Georgian mansion fronting the Vauxhall Cross gyratory system – provides a “lively, boho and very relaxed” backdrop for this unusual but successful venue. Amazingly, it “works so well”, with “above average (if expensive) modern British fare” from highly regarded chef Jackson Boxer. (“Well worth the detour/ taking your life in your hands navigating the Vauxhall one way!”).

“Excellent food in a leafy setting, especially on a warm and bright day” makes the elevated café at Lambeth’s Garden Museum “a complete go-to” for foodies in the know. George Ryle, the chef who co-founded it to great acclaim in 2017, left after five years to return to his native Yorkshire, but the kitchen has barely missed a beat under his successor Myles Donaldson (ex-Noble Rot and Anchor & Hope among others).
