Welcome back to the Slice - your weekly guide to what's on in London.
This week, why not treat yourself to some delicious food and drinks? From pillowy flatbreads to fresh doughnuts, authentic Mexican grub to mouth-watering scallops, and copious glasses of champagne to absinthe, there's something for everyone.
Our top pick is Straker's in Notting Hill. The signature flatbread is truly delicious and the steamy doughnuts are out of this world. Add to that the finest fishy delicacies, the tenderest duck ragu, and a laid-back margarita, and you've got a meal fit for a Queen! Plus, owner Tom Straker's Instagram page will give you an idea of what to expect.
For something a bit different, why not try Nightjar's Absinthe Afternoon Tea? Located in a New York-style speakeasy, Nightjar will take you back in time with its jazz singer, small tables, and cocktails. For £45, you'll get sandwiches, scones, sweet treats infused with gin, and two alcoholic beverages. Skip the Ritz and Claridge's for Nightjar's cooler take on high tea.
Meanwhile, those into Mexican food should check out the collaboration between four critically acclaimed chefs from Los Cabos and Chef Patron of Santo Remedio. Bringing together culture, tradition, and landscape, it's a must-visit from 7 November.
If you're looking for a Michelin-star experience, book a table at L'Atelier Robuchon before it gains one. The beef fillet is amazing and the wine list is curated by food and wine pairing authority Charlotte Page.
Finally, don't miss Bossa in Oxford Street. The seafood is the highlight, particularly the perfectly-cooked scallops with leeks, buckwheat and tucupi. And for a unique experience, head to Banthof. The menu includes colourful beetroot ravioli and Greek yoghurt-infused cocktails, and you can even check out the mini art gallery featuring the paintings of 12 year old prodigy Ambla Klosi.
So, why not have a special week in London? Start planning now, and you won't regret it!
