The 38 Best London Restaurants, According to Eater’s Local Dining Expert | Eater

"Eater London’s Restaurant of the Year 2022 comprises three discrete yet intertwined endeavors. Downstairs in the basement kitchen, George Jephson butchers whole animals, repurposing them as immaculate charcuterie, while upstairs, chef Mike Murphy uses excellent ingredients to prepare simple plates that lean French and southern European — think trout poached in butter with roe and sorrel; or a roast game bird with quince and bitter leaves. Sommeliers Tom Beattie and Fran Roberts, the duo behind the wine importer bearing both names, run the bar and the floor with a small team. Cadet is a wine bar, a restaurant, a charcutier, and a shopfront; it feels French and it feels London; and, from the moment it opened, it has always felt just right. Must-try dish: Pate en croute." - Adam Coghlan
