J Sheekey, London – Caitlin

Our first recommendation takes us straight to fine dining at and iconic London fish restaurant, in the heart of Covent Garden. Since opening in 1896, Sheekey’s has been providing theatregoers, families and friends with the finest seafood and shellfish from its home in St Martin’s Court. And with live jazz every Sunday, nothing elevates a dining experience quite like J Sheekey’s.

Top dish recommendation: Monkfish and Tiger Prawn Curry.

Arancino of Sicily, London – Alvi

If the algorithm hasn’t caught up with you yet, it’s only a matter of time, as this one has been all over TikTok and Instagram. Having only opened last year, owner Alessia has dedicated the place entirely to making what she calls “the sandwich of the Sicilians”, and it has become a hot spot for all foodies. Meat-eaters and vegetarians alike cannot resist the taste of Sicily’s most famous street food.

Top dish recommendation: Pistachio, Pancetta and Fontina Cheese Arancino.
