The Hit List: New London Restaurants To Try Right Now

"Richness runs through Lita’s veins like butter pulsing through every ridge of its lardo-draped morel mushrooms. The Mediterranean restaurant in Marylebone prides itself on a lavish decadence that could seem vulgar if the extortionate food wasn’t so goddamn delicious. The room has a warm amber hue to it—fitting given that most people dining here look at a packet of Kerrygold and assume it’s gold leaf—and it’s hard not to lean in from the very first bite of moreish pan con tomate. Share smaller plates at one of the many lively counters, and go for a Galician beef rib or a whole turbot in a group. Just try not to think about the bill." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
