The Hit List: New London Restaurants To Try Right Now

"The junction of Old Street and Kingsland Road is an unwelcome sensory experience, but Bar Valette calmly sits in the eye of the storm. There’s an assured, leisurely pace at this Shoreditch restaurant—which suits, given its Basque influences. The room is filled with intimate conversations at the bar and in nooks by the window, mostly fuelled by dainty house martinis and concluded with a heavenly chocolate mousse to share. Carnivores should pay attention to a rich, but not-too-heavy fabada bean stew topped with pork belly, chorizo, and blood sausage." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, jake missing, jake missing, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, jake missing, sinead cranna
