Food Scene
Rightly regarded as one of London’s best Spanish restaurants, this slightly out-of-the-way Kensington spot serves sublime modern cuisine including hake with baby squid, chargrilled Galician octopus and Andalucian gazpacho soup with lobster. The (Spanish, naturally) wine list is great, too. Prices are surprisingly affordable for the locale and the quality. They also have sister restaurants next door (tapas and sherry at Capote y Toros) and across the road (Tendido Cero.)

This much-loved neighbourhood restaurant offers all the curry house staples — including a solid murgh makhani (butter chicken) — that unadventurous diners could wish for, but those who try the more exciting dishes, including venison bhuna, honey lemon duck and tandoori wild mushrooms will find themselves a great deal more satisfied. Prices are good too, for the area.

Favourite hangout of the young and moneyed Chelsea-ites, the food at Bluebird has traditionally played second fiddle to the cocktails. Newly-appointed executive chef Simon Gregory has, thankfully, upped the kitchen’s game considerably with the likes of salt baked kohlrabi and salsify and spice roasted baby chicken now the stars of the show.
