"Florence Mae Maglanoc is the co-founder of the Maginhawa Group (who are behind spots like Panadera Bakery, Guanabana, and Mamasons). Donia is their latest restaurant and while Filipino in essence, the Soho spot feels as London as a packet of Buzz Sweets. Traditional caldereta is interpreted into a shimmering lamb shoulder pie, and cloud-like pandesal bread is served with glowing chive butter. Everyone in the minimalist room is taken away by an exhibition of maximalist flavour." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
