We’ve reached the end of April and you know what that mean that means? It means a whole new batch of Michelin Guide-recommended restaurants in London to add to your ever-growing list of places to try.
Throughout the year, Michelin inspectors spend their days dining in new restaurants across the country to judge whether they belong in the coveted guide. In the month of April, 18 eateries across Britain and Ireland were added to the roster. Eight of those are in London.
The newest London members of the Michelin Guide include a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant in Notting Hill (Fan), a Turkish joint in Canary Wharf (NORA) and a cosy pub in Marylebone (The Hart). New restaurants are opening in the city all the time and there’s only so much food our bellies can handle, so sadly we haven’t got around to trying all of the newly recognised places yet. But here’s what we think four of the Michelin Guide’s latest London additions.
Moi, Soho
At Moi, you’ll find innovative cocktails and a sprawling menu of sushi, Japanese-style small plates and grilled meats. When visiting in November, Time Out food editor Leonie Cooper tried a ‘gooey sea trout tartare chu maki brushed with a glossy and creamy yuzukosho emulsion’, tuna tataki in a pool of zingy grapefruit liquor and smoked cod’s roe with Lao Gan Ma chilli sauce and fried and steamed doughnut-style buns (a must-order).
Osteria Angelina, Shoreditch
In her glowing five-star review of Osteria Angelina, Time Out contributor Chiara Wilkinson hailed its Japanese-Italian menu as ‘interesting and adventurous’ and ‘absolutely, hands-down brilliant’. The Zone 1 sister to Dalston’s Angelina, Osteria Angelina opened last May. Expect dishes like ox tongue with wasabi, cod cheek karaage, fazzoletti with duck ragu or truffle and kombu tortellini.
Mareida, Fitzrovia
Slick and stylish Mareida launched on Great Portland Street last summer, bringing cuisine from the Chilean coast and mountains to Fitzrovia. Menu highlights include mushroom, beef and seafood empanadas, raviolo with morels, conger eel with fish broth and pastel de choclo, a combination of lamb shoulder, poached eggs and raisins. Time Out staffer Ella Doyle tried it out and said the desserts (like hojarasca and membrillo) are where Mareida really shines.
Motorino, Fitzrovia
Motorino is from the same guys behind Town in Covent Garden, a 20-minute walk away. But, food editor Leonie Cooper says, ‘Motorino has something its sibling doesn’t; one of London’s hype-iest chefs beavering away in the kitchen’. Chef Luke Aherne serves up ‘London-Italian’ fare like grilled Cornish sardines, bluefin tuna carpaccio, agnolotti carbonara and slow-cooked Peposo beef cheek stew with polenta. Cocktails are courtesy of one of the city’s best bars, Satan’s Whiskers.
