Customers may have noticed that our jambon beurre is currently missing from shelves. This is due to a temporary shortage of cornichons. We're sorry for any disappointment caused and are working hard to get this Pret favourite back in shops as soon as possible.
Fusion food has historically had a bit of a bad rap, with overly gimmicky dishes and unnecessary combinations turning diners off. However, when you drill down into what fusion actually is - blending together flavours, ingredients and techniques from different cuisines - it's something that a lot of chefs are doing all the time.
Head Chef Joshua Conte's all-day menu is set to include dishes like NYC fried chicken & caviar, AVI Caesar salad, and black brioche lobster roll, showcasing a blend of modern French and elevated American classics.
Ever since Noodle Inn on Old Compton Street went viral, it's had people queuing around the block for its hand-pulled biang biang noodles slapped down on the counter, and knife-cut noodles, cut off from blocks of dough straight into the pot. It became so popular that at the back end of 2025, a second site opened in the City, close to Liverpool Street station. And the team isn't losing any momentum as a third location is now on the way.
When it opened in 2011, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal quickly became one of the most talked-about menus in the capital. The dishes, inspired by historic British cuisine, included items such as the now-legendary Meat Fruit, a chicken liver and foie gras parfait moulded to look like fruit inside a mandarin jelly. These avant-garde recipes earned Blumenthal and the team at Dinner their first Michelin star in 2012, and a second followed in 2014.
For ages, London's culinary reputation-perhaps best defined by fish and chips at neighborhood pubs, (excellent) curry shops, and buttoned-up afternoon teas-seemed to lag behind global counterparts like Paris and Tokyo. Today, though, the British capital hums with Michelin-starred institutions, vibrant street food markets, and cooking that draws from the heritage of the immigrants who call the metropolis home. Underscoring that evolution, Tripadvisor just named London the No. 1 "Best of the Best Food Destination in the World" for its 2026 Travelers' Choice Awards.
The Big Brine, co-founded by Emma and Clarice, who have backgrounds in events and event catering, will bring together the worlds of food, wellness and sustainability by showcasing the craft and culture behind brining and fermenting.
The best restaurants in South Kensington are no secret to the most cultured among us. This corner of London is more synonymous with groundbreaking exhibitions than a buzzy food scene - but hey, who can compete with the V&A, Natural History Museum and Science Museum as neighbours? Alas, culture vultures require sustenance like everyone else, and there are plenty of exceptional places in these parts ready to tend to those post-gallery rumbles.
