"Sessions Arts Club is home to waltzing candle flames and charming staff who serve nonchalantly elegant modern European food made for swilling glasses and seducing over. Since this Clerkenwell spot opened in 2021, people have been taking days off for 11:45am lunches on a Tuesday. Now, the chances of a 6pm booking are higher, and although you might have to plan a week in advance, it’ll be worth it." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
