10 Greek Street, London

April 9, 2015

There will simply never be enough restaurants like 10 Greek Street, the kind of independent bistro with excellent cooking, surprising wines and gentle prices you’d want on every corner. Alas, for now you can trek to Soho for the delightful experience of their daily-changing Modern European menu and comfortable surroundings like the locals have been doing for the past three years. Only sour note is the no booking policy in the evenings which makes the popular small space annoying to get into – better enjoy it at lunch where you’ll be able to savor the enticing dishes in relative peace and quiet.

The short menu emphasizes clean and simple dishes, all expertly cooked and showing hints of the Mediterranean among British ingredients. The cutting-edge wine list is splendid too with a lot of wines served in carafe and by the glass so you can really have a fantastic and varied meal by sharing a few small plates and pairing them with different wines. And do leave room for dessert which can go from simply delicious to sensational… High marks all over even if you do end up queuing at night, it’ll be worth the wait for sure!
