Let them know Neha sent you!!! The wagyu khinkali and Oyster mushroom khinkali here at @kinkally.restaurant might just be the best dumplings in London 🥟 (yes, I know I've offended people calling khinkali dumplings!)

My must orders:
🥟 Wagyu khinkali with peppercorn, plum sauce and Svaneti salt
🍄 Portobello and king oyster mushroom khinkali with porcini sauce
🍫 Swiss meringue, dark chocolate mousse and tkemali caramel

Also loved the venison mtsvadi skewer, the sea bream carpaccio and the green peas pkhali with barberry bun. Swipe for the full spread ➡️

I can't stop talking about this spot. It's such a special place, perfect for an intimate date night or dinner with a loved one 🕯️

Everything was so flavourful! I was chatting to Chef @chef_davidchelidze and their autumn menu is out now, so I'll be back before the festive season. I shall be back🧍🏽‍♀️

The underground bar just takes this event up to another LEVEL. Service here was so attentive also:)

A little hidden bar underneath Kinkally🍸

Bar Kinky is such a fun spot to come with a few friends. We tried quite a few drinks that night, but Shadow, Vision, Crush Me and Shiva were some of the ones that stood out to us. Some are definitely on the stronger side, but they also have non-alcoholic options: the Mai Tai and Bellini were both really good too.

Our server somehow remembered exactly who ordered what the whole night👀And when the bill came, they had already separated everything by person, which made splitting the bill ridiculously easy.

We also happened to get a little booth, so the whole night felt really cosy. Definitely one to keep in mind for a drinks night with friends.

There were two secret bars this year. Did you find the second one? 🔍

Hidden away in the garden, Scales Bar and Bar Kinky created our second hideaway of the festival - partnering with @renaisgin to bring a taste of their intimate London bar experience to Cocktails in the City.

The two bars shared the space, swapping between serving out front and welcoming guests into an even better-kept secret behind the bar: a tiny table hidden behind a curtain, where cocktails were made just inches away.

Same gin, two very different interpretations.

@scaleslondon took Renais in a bright, silky direction with Raspberry & Lychee, paired with yuzushu and coconut milk.

@bar.kinky brought together Renais, matcha and fragrant osmanthus soda.

Two hidden bars. One elegant gin. Did you manage to find it? ✨

Go now and thank me later 🙂‍↕️🫡 Foodies, I’m telling you, these three spots need to be on your list before 2026 is over.

I’ll be back at all three, no question. If you go, let me know what you think! And if you’ve already been, tell me your favourite in the comments 👇

🍣 Kioku by Endo @kiokubyendo
If you want good Japanese x Mediterranean fusion food, this is it. I was so fortunate to experience the chef’s table and I’ll definitely be back for lunch or dinner with my girls. The bar downstairs is a must too. Their sake cocktails completely surprised me, and I wasn’t even a sake fan before coming here! The food, sake and wine pairings were top notch. It’s the details that make this place complete.

🥩 Fazenda (now @fogo.uk )
Craving the full shebang and LOVE STEAK? This is your place. A very special evening with amazing service and a phenomenal, seemingly endless buffet. I tried chicken hearts for the first time (never thought I’d say that!) and the caramelised pineapple was sensational. Already planning my return 🔥

🥟 Kinkally @kinkally.restaurant
The one I really wanted to gatekeep 🤫 Modern Georgian food in the heart of Soho, and honestly, don’t mess about, just go. The dumplings were so succulent, with the Wagyu beef and mushroom one being my standout. Every side was a 10/10, the cocktails in the downstairs bar were a 10/10, and the service took it to another level. Such an intimate, cute spot 💛

A collection of the places I drank my way through this trip, from bars I had on my list to a few I wandered into and somehow left with new bartender friends and significantly more drinks than I ordered.

For research purposes, obviously.
