"O'Brien's menu is about comfort food done well, leaning into a reassuring nostalgia without ever becoming fuddy-duddy or boring. 'We alter the dishes to reflect what's in season,' he told me as he cleared our plates."
"'If it ain't broke, don't fix it,' I suppose. It's an ethos that rings true throughout this year's Top New Restaurant Awards: that simple cooking done well is taking precedent over fussy, fancy menus."
"'Willy's feels less like a discovery and more like somewhere you've always loved.' The best restaurants are often found in our neighborhoods and suburbs rather than our city centers."
Willy's is celebrated for its comforting and nostalgic menu, featuring dishes like beef rump tartare, roast courgette salad, and a standout sausage and mash. The restaurant emphasizes seasonal ingredients, ensuring that the menu reflects the time of year without frequent changes. This approach aligns with a broader trend in dining, where simple, well-executed comfort food is preferred over elaborate recipes. Willy's creates a familiar atmosphere, making it feel like a cherished local favorite rather than a new discovery.
