The Devonshire

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

"The Verdict: Practically perfect and single-handedly rehabilitating the image of suet pudding. The Soho restaurant is above a handsome Mad Men-meets-Dickens pub and getting a table at a normal time—say, 1pm or after 5pm—is almost impossible. Which makes sense because The Devonshire serves some of the best classic British food in London. Hunker down by the ferocious fire, with a pint of perfectly poured Guinness and beef cheek suet pudding. Bookings are released at 10:30am on Thursdays for the following three weeks. Embrace a very early dinner or late lunch: these are the last tables to go, and messing with your body clock is worth it. There’s a roof terrace for walk-ins on warmer days—ask nicely, and you could be sharing a pile of langoustines alfresco. We’ve also noticed last-minute reservations become available throughout the week." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, heidi lauth beasley
