"It might be the first time in the history of The Infatuation London that we add a food hall to our list of London’s Best New Restaurants. But Arcade isn’t just any old food hall. A heaven-sent food emporium feels like a more accurate description. This huge industrial meets jungle-looking dining space on New Oxford Street is from the people behind Bao and Gymkhana—which explains why the food is special. Home to everything from cheesy American-style smash burgers, to North Indian pao buns, it’s a useful space that can work just as well for a casual tom yam mojito-fuelled catch-up as it will for a solo round of saucy chicken momos on a Thursday afternoon. In the evenings, thanks to the resident DJ, it’s loud and proud, and the lighting is kind to those of us who already own four types of moisturiser." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
