Lucy Self visits Karpo opposite one of London’s most bustling train stations but finds great food and a slick interior isn’t always enough to attract the crowds.
Carioca, Brixton
Nik Speller heads down Brixton way and finds Carioca has nothing to do with getting drunbk and singing along to a tape

Yauatcha at 10
Ten years is a long time in the restaurant game, you have to have something special and Yauatcha has it for sure, even if after all these years no one really knows how to pronounce its name.
Fika, Brick Lane
It was a foray into the wilderness at Fika’s grove as Emma went down to the woods today to try Brick Lane’s version of a Swedish fairy feast
Chakra. Notting Hill
Prices are, as to be expected, higher than average but so is the cooking and the folks who live on the Hill can afford it after all. If I lived up there, I’d definitely be back to try somemore of what’s on the menu.
MasQMenos
A Spanish eat-in delicatessen smack in the middle of Holborn where you can grab and go or take your time. Either way, the food is great.
The Bunk Inn, Berkshire restaurant review
While The Bunk Inn is maybe an hour’s drag from London, for anyone passing this should be a scheduled stop. With well-balanced flavours and a delightful presentation carried through every dish, you might find yourself taking a room, waiting for breakfast, and perhaps staying again for lunch
The Old Passage, Gloucester
Fish on the menu but Nik finds no tastes to really get his teeth into.
The May Fair Kitchen
Great meat, fantastic fish, huge amounts of side dishes & sauces…and one gigantic battle with a humongous prawn
