Lore of the Land
Three floors of dark wood, eclectic art, and an atmosphere that makes you cancel your plans. Book ahead for the Sunday roast — venison and the Lore doughnut are non-negotiable, all from a charcoal oven, washed down with their own brew.
Sometimes what you want is a really good pub and The Hero is exactly that. Easy drinks, warm atmosphere, and you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. An honest neighbourhood spot.
One of my favourite new spots — proper cooking, no nonsense. Incredible pastas and risottos, all locally sourced. Simple, great cocktails (that negroni!). And the chocolate mousse? It unlocks the second stomach every time.
Fonda is what excellent Mexican in London. Chef Santiago Lastra really understands flavour. The tlayudas, the mezcal list, all of it has made it a real favourite.
Trullo is what pasta should feel like. A neighbourhood Italian in Highbury that doesn't try too hard, and is consistently brilliant. The hand rolled pappardelle is worth making the reservation.
A former prison laundrette turned Michelin Bib Gourmand seafood spot. Sister restaurant Primeur is minutes away — a former garage still bearing the original Barnes Motors sign.
It takes what people would normally think of as street food and makes it a whole experience. When people think of Persian food they think of Kebabs but Berenjak is changing that.
Quality Chop House has been around since 1869 and it still feels relevant. The confit potatoes are iconic and the wine list is one of the best in London. Go for a long, slow lunch.
Ida is just such an Italian family run restaurant. It’s quaint. Warm, and unassuming. It’s down this little residential street. It makes me feel fuzzy inside.
