A warm, exposed-brick neighbourhood restaurant in Fitzrovia where Jun Tanaka serves refined French-Mediterranean sharing plates and legendary French toast.
Ordering Strategy
The menu is designed for sharing; aim for about three dishes per person, mixing the raw/cured options with the heavier pasta and meat plates.
What to order
Oxtail Croquettes
Described as 'perfect orbs' and a 'classy opener', these contain strands of long-braised meat that critics claim they would happily clear an entire tray of.
Salted Ox Cheeks
Regarded as a 'truly spectacular plateful' and the 'very essence of moo', this dish features tender meat topped with bone marrow in a lip-smackingly rich oxtail consommé.
Pain Perdu
An 'absolute must' order; this brioche French toast with tonka bean ice cream is the restaurant's most famous signature, described as warm, comforting, and rich.
