This isn't a review of Dove, because I didn't eat at Dove the restaurant, I ate at Dove the 10-per-service burger bar

I’ve updated the list of my favourite burgers in London after testing new arrivals like Dumbo, Dove, Chuck’s, and more. Paid subs can find out what made the cut.

No trip to Billingsgate Market is complete without a visit to the cafe, and no trip to the cafe is complete without a bacon and scallop sandwich.

Budgie Montoya’s Alpas is the best pop-up/residency I’ve been to in some time, and there are still a few tables left — definitely go along if you can

A book like The Snack Hacker could so easily have been a lazy list of artless fakeaways, but is so much more creative than that, remixing everything from Egg McMuffins to supermarket naans, often in utterly unexpected ways. It’s the most fun cookbook I’ve owned in forever.

Lupa was London’s darling right up until it wasn’t. But after the ups and downs of the hype cycle, it’s a much better restaurant than you might have heard.

London does a weirdly good line in Georgian restaurants, but even so I think new-ish opening Saperavi Social is one of the better ones, and not just for its heaving, soupy khinkali

This week’s recipe for paid subscribers is a belter: it comes from my friend Tiernan, who pairs savoury and sweet in this sourdough featuring kalamata olives and caramelised roasted grapes. Best eaten smeared thick with goat’s cheese.

Akka Falafel — which has been known as Just Falafels for as long as I’ve known it, seemingly until pretty recently — has been my go-to falafel wrap for the best part of a decade, but I suppose I’ll (reluctantly) share it with you all too

I entered Camille in a slightly foul mood, and left elated. Any meal that can do that is guaranteed to be something special indeed.
