London's 14 Best New Restaurants Of 2022 - London - The Infatuation

"On paper, Apricity reads like a snooze fest. A small fine dining restaurant with a focus on locally foraged ingredients, a low-waste approach to cooking, and a Mayfair address that will give your bank account the shivers. Forget all that because this is a warm, let-me-live-here place, where no one will judge for you big-belly laughing in the midst of butterhead lettuce salad that has the consistency, and moreish charm, of a cake. From the succulent simplicity of the hand-dived Scottish scallops to the flirty fried nature of a sensational ‘chouxnut’, every dish on the £85, seven-course tasting menu is wildly creative and comes with a confident wink that says ‘look what we can do with caramelised shallots and a chestnut’. It’s never boring and although you can kick it à la carte or opt for the £68, five-course tasting menu, we’d recommend going all in with someone you love for a truly memorable Mayfair meal." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
