Stork

Stork’s food is a pan-Afro-Caribbean feast. We relish the chance to have some old favourites with a unique twist here—the peppery BBQ octopus suya is a particular joy. Served on a bed of yam fries, it's like a dish of calamari and chips served off the Côte d’Azur, reimagined for the warm breeze of the Gulf of Guinea. Stork’s put-together Mayfair setting is similarly sleek. The dress code is fitting of their west London location and higher-end price point, so put on your finest—everyone else does. That being said, the plush interior with soft lighting and modern West African art remains cosy and avoids any stuffiness.
