8 Restaurants
There’s always something special about eating at a counter and, in London, they come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re after ringside seats to watch the chefs hard at it in an open-kitchen, or are just grabbing a bite on your own and want some tips on cocktail making from a friendly bartender, a seat at a counter can make you feel both in the know and part of the action. Here are a few of our favourites. Some only offer counter seating; others have tables too.
