Are These London Restaurants Worth The Hype? - London - The Infatuation

"The Verdict: Sizzling, sexy, and a certified good time—Singburi 2.0 lives up to the high expectations set for it. Securing a booking at Singburi’s new Shoreditch restaurant is done the old-fashioned way: refreshing OpenTable while whispering “please please please please”. The legendary Thai spot’s old Leytonstone location was our highest-rated restaurant in London. While more polished, and with a different menu, Singburi is instantly the coolest seat in London and the tick-tick-tick spice time bomb of the raw beef larb alone makes getting strategic for a booking worth it. This is the hottest booking in London right now. It’s too late for any prime-time action, so you’re going to need to give strategy the middle finger, accept any remaining reservations with a pleading smile, and plan your life around it. There are several weekday lunchtime bookings still up for grabs and check the day before—we’ve found peak dinner tables open up." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
