LIMA Shoreditch - (Near City of London, london)

Olga Artjomova Wild Izakaya is one of those rare places where you start by ordering “a few things” and somehow end up trying half the menu, cause everything is that good. The aubergine was smoky, silky and perfectly glazed - the kind of dish you keep thinking about the next day. The sushi? Incredibly fresh, balanced, clean flavours, no overload, just precision. Every plate we tried had depth, texture and real attention to detail. Nothing felt random or rushed. You can tell the kitchen actually cares. This isn’t just “nice Japanese food” - it’s thoughtful, confident and seriously delicious. London doesn’t need another restaurant. But it definitely needed this one.

Ja Pi What an evening and view! You are overlooking the Tower of London and the bridge. This is a very small venue with only 12 seats. You are catered to throughout the entire experience. I love they offer both wine and a 50/50 alcohol/non-alcohol experience. We began with several small bites before the culinary journey began. Every bite was carefully curated and the chefs provided detailed descriptions for each plate. The standout dishes of the evening were the lamb course and the final sweet dish showcasing strawberries. We absolutely loved the experience!

Edward Katia “Katie” The food was generally very good, but the mushroom coca was truly unique and special — the best mushrooms I’ve ever tasted. The succulent pig was a little on the dry side, but everything else was excellent. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was beautiful, with wonderfully tasteful décor.

Franciska Schmoll I really enjoyed the vibe, even from the outside, which is what prompted me to come and try Popolo. I just walked past and thought it looked super cosy and had a great looking menu. The kitchen is right there and I really enjoyed being able to see how the staff manage to create some simple but beautiful food. Cant go wrong with any of the dishes and it all made for a very lovely evening. They recommend 5-6 of the dishes if you are sharing between 2 people, we had 5 and that was a good amount. Thank you Popolo

Lee Smith Lovely clean and a great place to dine! Was a meal for me and my partner yesterday lunch and we loved it.. the salad counter was Devine with a good selection of salads and cheese and more.. tasted great.. the meat kept on coming through the 2 hours we were there and towards the end they asked what meat choices we would prefer.. of course the fillet and ribeye so the waiter bought me plenty of that.. left pleasantly full and the experiance was relaxed good wine and good atmosphere!

A Ferna Probably one of the best meals Ive had this year. Before you even decide what you are going to try you get three little appetisers which get you excited for the rest of the meal to come. We tried the tasting menu and it didnt disappoint. Each dish was expertly plated and beyond delicious (this includes the warm freshly baked bread.) My favourite was the tuna tartare but all of the dishes were wonderful. The service is attentive and well timed; the pace is relaxed without feeling drawn out. You never feel rushed when eating there is an attention to detail that makes dining here special.
