It was at this charming British restaurant on Wandsworth Road that we decided to name our firstborn child potato bread. Partly because we think Tato would make a cute nickname, but mostly because our feelings towards the grilled potato bread here are the closest we’ve felt to unconditional love. Glistening with butter, fluffy, and warm from the grill, it’s delicious on its own, but even better paired with the green garlic butter. And it’s a fitting introduction to the great meal you’ll have in this rustic Georgian mansion. Ideal for a birthday, or a romantic date night, the menu here has courgette fritters with coconut yoghurt, Brixton crab egg noodles, and a burrata omelette that tastes as extra as it sounds. And with dramatic curtains, OTT foliage, and more hanging chandeliers than a lighting showroom, this is a spot you can easily spend an entire evening in.
