The Andi this all-day joint is named after is Great British Menu judge Andi Oliver, who opened her own place after running supper clubs and residences with her business partner Kelly miles. The broad menu covers brunch (eggs, salt beef reubens, and healthy energy bowls) to brasserie-style fare (the likes of brown crab gnocchi with salsa verde and gazpacho, braised pork loin with breadfruit croquettes, and strawberry pavlova). Andi has put as much effort into the place itself, creating a real warm and welcoming neighbourhood hangout.

The informality of the décor at Perilla – an old tile floor and raw walls – doesn’t really give you any hints about what to expect on the plates. What you do get however is modern European food, like cuttlefish Bolognese and aged pork chop with sea kale that both looks beautiful and tastes fantastic. You can eat a la carte or from a tasting menu, which comes in at a very reasonable price for cookery of this standard. Don’t skip over the cocktail list either as they infuse their own gin and vodka in-house.

The Good Egg is one of the area’s most popular brunch spots but it’s well worth dropping by for dinner. The evening menu may not feature any eggs but it certainly is good, with their range of breads and spiced butters and Middle Eastern delights like baharat roasted pumpkin with black tahini and yoghurt, za’atar fried chicken thighs with chilli honey and house labneh with preserved lemon. They’ve curated a fine list of biodynamic and artisan wines to complement all those punchy flavours, and their babka is also something special but it doesn’t hang around for long!
