London’s food news and most exciting openings this month
Plant Base
MILDREDS
Mildreds has revamped its Camden restaurant and the new site brings a fresh, bold and modern feel to the buzzy Jamestown Road. Expect a selection of innovative plant-based dishes such as wild mushroom tortellini with caramelised leek cream, cumberland sausage and mash as well as spiced sticky toffee with date molasses. Brand-new Prix Fixe and Cocktail Club menus are available on weekdays from 12-6pm.
Indian Vibes
DISHOOM
As Dishoom opens new eateries in Covent Garden and Battersea Power Station, we returned to our favourite outpost in Kensington. The Art Deco interior is endlessly glamorous, the ruby chicken can’t be beaten – and the garlic naan could well be London’s finest.
New local
SUNE
Sommelier Honey Spencer and partner Charlie Sims have opened Sune, a neighbourhood restaurant at the foot of Broadway Market. Sune is a stripped-back space designed to transform throughout the day, from a sun-fi lled spot for weekday lunch, and weekend brunch, to an intimate dinner destination.
Seasons Sipping
MANTECA
Shoreditch restaurant Manteca has launched its own blend wine, alongside a carefully crafted amaro, or
Italian herbal liqueur. Straight from the vineyards of southern Italy, the wine is a blend of Sicilian varietals from co- operative Valdibella’s 2022 vintage. Named ‘volume one’, it is an aromatic, and textured white wine with notes of honeysuckle and white stone fruit.

FABER
Just opened in Hammersmith is Faber, a sustainability-focused neighbourhood restaurant. Everything on the menu from the day’s catch to the cocktail menu is sustainably sourced and supports the local economy – and it’s all delivered by electric vehicle.
