Unmissable fine dining restaurants in London

Run by a husband and wife team from Korea, Sollip is one of those hidden gems that adds more diversity and creativity to London’s dining scene. The food you can find here combines European cooking style with Korea’s ingredients and techniques. As a result, the menu consists of nine dishes such as toasted barley, roasted potato and burnt hay, or fig leaf crème brûlée that will introduce you to flavours you’ve never come across before. Sollip is a word that means pine needle, which was used to prepare dishes that require the most care, and it’s also the philosophy at the core of this restaurant. You’ll find it in the London Bridge area.

Frenchie Covent Garden is the new London outpost of the revered Frenchie, Frenchie To Go, Frenchie Wine Bar and Frenchie Wine Shop on Rue du Nil by Gregory Marchand.

The menu at Frenchie Covent Garden echoes its Parisian counterpart with simple yet precise dishes heavily influenced by Greg’s travels to London, New York, Spain and Hong Kong.
