"More spacious than the Soho original—with a couple of outdoor tables for sunny days—Hoppers in Marylebone serves some of the best Sri Lankan food in London. Things like bone marrow varuval and kothu roti are reliably excellent, and you should get involved in their drinks menu. The Ceylonese ice tea is flowery and the pandan Negroni is one vermouth remix we endorse. Set over two floors, there’s a big, bright, slightly corporate-feeling space upstairs, and a more romantic underground seating area with alcoves and larger tables." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
