Elliot’s has been one of the best restaurants in the Borough Market area for ages, and it’s not hard to see why - this place is a class act, from the drinks and food to the service and cosiness of the room. Their signature Isle of Mull cheese puffs also happen to be one of the best ways to ingest dairy in London. In the evening, the menu is sharing style, with charcuterie, saffron artichokes, mussels, and a nice choice of affordable wood oven sourdough pizzas to round it off. Wines are biodynamic and very good, and the staff will guide you through their selection to find you something you like. Sitting here during a warm market day is hard to beat.
