LONDON SHORTLIST
WHAT?
Super unique, ever-evolving and affordable tasting menu at the Kitchen Counter from a duo of young chefs who have teamed up with another young duo of mixologists. The cocktails and the food are both exciting and different, and work well together even without the (sometimes fastidious) pairing aspect.
WHO?
Renowned bartenders Alex Kratena (ex-Artesian) and Monica Berg (ex-Himkok) with the crazy-popular Tata Eatery duo, Zijun Meng and Ana Gonçalves (they both worked alongside Nuno Mendes).
WHY?
A restaurant that’s sadistic enough to impose a monthly rendezvous in order to reserve, a set tasting menu, and the impossibility of coming in groups larger than four: we should have hated it… So why? Because once you’re seated at the tiny kitchen counter in the spacious barroom, everything starts to make sense: reservations for four – because there are only four seats for dining; a tasting menu that is less punitive than playful, featuring a mere five courses (phew!); cuisine that combines originality (an incredible mutton tartare!)
