Cira

Come to this stylish retreat in the Hoxton hotel for an all-day carte of light bites and hearty mains, which roam the cuisines of the Mediterranean countries. If the flavors of Turkey, Algeria, Spain, and Italy com to mind, you're starting to get the picture. Naturally, what results is a progressive and wholesome feast, at the hands of Chef Chris Pandel. His dishes are bright, elegant and precisely seasoned, as in avocado toast elevated with Green Goddess dressing and heaps of herbs; tailed by slow-braised short ribs with "cacio e pepe" polenta and pickled pearl onions. If grilled delicata squash with pomegranate yogurt is on offer, jump on it and you may never want for dessert again.
In the summer, "aperitivo hour" has the outdoor tables booked and abuzz.
