Ten restaurants that recapture that holiday feeling
Not risking a trip abroad this summer? We don't blame you. Thankfully, you don't need to travel far to have your appetite for foreign flavours sated. London is a melting pot, bubbling with traditional cuisines from around the world. It's also a launching pad for bold and experimental fusion concepts.
From the dining room that fully immerses its guests in the Italian experience to the hidden-under-the-arches gem offering a one-way ticket to Porto, these restaurants conjure up our favourite holiday destinations, transporting us far, far away via our taste buds
Carry on the Mamma Mia and Hellenic holiday memories urban style at Hungry Donkey, an inviting and informal newcomer that offers Greek street food, as found in Athens, in Spitalfields. The food is far tastier and better value than at some more famous Greek restaurants in smart postcodes.
Order fried saganaki cheese, zucchini fitters, spanakopita, souvlaki and mastic ice cream with iced sour cherries. And don't forget the herbaceous Mastic digestif.
