As we counted days to our trip to Spain, the opportunity to visit Sagardi seemed a good way to sweeten the wait. Sagardi is the first London restaurant of Grupo Sagardi, who specialise in Basque country cuisine. After running successfully in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Porto, Buenos Aires and Mexico City, they have burst into London’s exciting food scene. Their menu feature…

Rök, Shoreditch
Getting to Rök has been an adventure in itself. We booked it three times and each time we had to cancel the booking for personal reasons (no fault of the restaurant).

Its high street location amongst the ubiquitous kebab shops and off licences definitely makes it a strong contender for a London hidden gem! External neon light signage with the words ‘Paradise’…
Chicama
Inspired by the coastal Peruvian town of the same name, Chicama– little sister to Panchamama, is already creating waves with its strikingly beautiful looking food on Instagram! I can happily report that it’s delicious too! The menu is Peruvian inspired with little Japanese twists. Fish and seafood dishes (no meat) feature heavily on the menu though there…
