Grace Dent Says Xier Is the Best London Restaurant Opening of 2019 | Eater London

"A Latin-American–inspired, theatrically designed restaurant that pairs jungle-like, Indiana Jones‑style décor and bold, sexy art with a menu of inventive, joyfully delivered dishes. Rather than muddled fusion, the cuisine sets different influences in conversation: champagne granita brightens oysters, anchovies on sourdough with pecorino and harissa are decadently moreish, and a duck with quince chutney and braised endives approaches near-perfection. Playful touches—like crushed potatoes with Parmesan and crisps—keep the cooking both excellent and fun, making the venue feel like a route to genuine culinary discovery in a crowded scene." - George Reynolds
