"It turns out that multi-coloured rattan can give you the kind of profound reaction usually reserved for newborns. We discovered this epiphany at Toklas, a Mediterranean restaurant near the Strand that’s so artfully cool-meets-chic, it feels like a subscription to MUBI should arrive with the kumquat martini. While the dining room feels like you’ve wandered into the latest Oliver Peoples campaign, the outdoor terrace is more Bloom & Wild vision board. It’s just the place to try their seasonal small plates with summer sidekicks like ricotta salata, lemon wedges, and generous drizzles of olive oil.
