In the backdrop of The Shard along London's South Bank, a freestanding architectural pavilion looks a worthy landmark for what has become one of London's most awarded eateries. Inside, a cozier modernism prevails with earthy wood paneling, exposed brick and raw concrete floors facing walls of glass overlooking an Edwardian neighborhood landscape. A series of naked tabletops with mid-century leather chairs offers a front row seat to the city's hottest culinary experiences in recent years.

The Food

Chef Tom Sellers delivers a lunch and dinner menu of sic to ten courses. Most meals begin with delightful homemade bread with drippings followed by more subtle entry courses like scallops with dill ash, tale of quail and raw beef with apple followed by squid with mushrooms, lamb with sheep’s yogurt and a delightful foie gras with nasturtium.

Last Word

Architectural South Bank dining room forges new territory in modern British cuisine.
