Rochelle Canteen

Tucked away in an old bike shed in an enclosed garden, this is a haven from the craziness of London. The menu changes daily, and the chefs have a knack for reading my mind, picking my favourite ingredients, and weaving them through the menu in ways I hadn’t expected. I ate a perfect late summer lunch of courgette and pine nut strudel. It's only open during the day, and only on weekdays. It's BYO (corkage £6.50 a bottle), so pick up a bottle of something special, cancel your plans for the afternoon, and get settled in for a long and very enjoyable lunch.
