Lord's

It feels straight out of London at this meat-centric restaurant with a nose to tail ethos from Chef Ed Szymanski and Patricia Howard, the partners behind smash hit, Dame. It's ever so charming, with cozy nooks and banquettes, and is always packed, but the bar maintains space for walk ins. Come on a cold day for hearty English classics with a touch of creativity (think curried lamb scotch egg). Like most of the dishes, duck-stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes could feed an army, so order shared plates-style to sample without becoming stuffed. The apple & calvados trifle closes things out with just the right note of sweetness. 
Plan to indulge during the week; Lord's is closed on weekends to give staff a better work-life balance.
