Best Comfort Food Dishes in London Restaurants | Eater London

"London’s first Honduran restaurant opened without a name on Old Kent Road earlier this summer, but in the meantime has titled itself Sazon Catracho, and the weather has chilled to the point where its menu of heavy, stodgy things — that weigh on the stomach as much as anything eaten in a Bavarian food hall — have become extremely welcome. Yes there are pastelitos, pupusas, and carne asada, but come for the baleadas. They’re pleasingly malformed, betraying the work of a human hand in the tortilla dough, and stuffed with barely scrambled curds of egg, hard cheese, and a sour crema. Because this is winter, adding chicken or beef might be an idea, but it doesn’t need anything apart from the amethyst-hued Kilner jar of curtido within reaching distance. It’s extraordinarily simple, the kind of dish that wouldn’t be allowed at a faux-Mexican restaurant in London because it’s too filling, but it will line the belly marvellously and hold all and everyone in good stead for cuffing season. —Jonathan Nunn" - Eater Staff
