Restaurant Eats Out: Central London

Honey & Co. Daily​

Launched last year, Honey & Co. Daily follows the success of Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich’s nearby Honey & Co. and Honey & Smoke. The space is divided into two sections: a deli and takeaway area to the front and a casual 40-seater restaurant to the rear. The menu is focused on pastry chef Packer’s Middle Eastern bakes including pastries, lachma, cakes and breads alongside salads, shakshukas and dips.

Yamabahçe​

Created by legendary restaurateur Alan Yau (Hakkasan, Yauatcha, Busaba Eathai), Yamabahçe offers a tight menu of authentic Turkish street food in a casual, fast-paced setting. Key dishes include pide and lahmacun flat breads, manti dumplings and a selection of wood-grilled meats. It is the most casual restaurant concept Yau has created to date with an average spend of less than £15 at lunch.

Kwãnt​

This glam Mayfair spot was founded by famed bartender Erik Lorincz, who was previously at The Savoy’s acclaimed American Bar. Pronounced like quaint, the tropically- styled Kwãnt offers a finely-tuned list of hyper creative cocktails alongside a tight but equally thoughtful food menu with dishes including scallop with truffle, yoghurt and walnut; and beef cheek- packed tacos with cheddar pickled onion and shiso.
