KORA at Beaufort House Chelsea
King’s Road has changed a lot since I used to frequent it, but it has never been short on glossy places to eat. The latest arrival at Beaufort House, KORA, has managed to pull off something rather charming: a
contemporary Mediterranean restaurant that feels both dressed-up and relaxed, without trying too hard to impress. It’s the kind of place that wants you to imagine yourself wafting around an Aegean island, Aperol in hand – only here, the backdrop is Chelsea traffic.

Adeline at The Memoir Club

Hera, Greek restaurant launch, Stratford Cross
The Hera restaurant experience is a modern sophisticated setting bound to appeal to female friends seeking upmarket dining in Stratford. The goddess Hera presides over hearth and home, thus Hera aims to be “a gathering place where guests feel part of extended family.” These glass towers of E20 nod more to Dubai than the Aegean and the approach – for now at least – still resembles a building site. Doubtless, when Sadler’s Wells East and Everyman Stratford open, Hera will be matriarch at the heart of a lively leisure destination.

Onima Mayfair – Review
Onima – Mediterranean-Asian Luxurious Restaurant in Mayfair: I can do edgy. I go to eat in Hoxton, Dalston and Hackney Wick in restaurants where serious young chefs pickle and forage to their hearts content and make you sit in uncomfortable chairs. But sometimes I crave luxury; wonderful ingredients served by charming staff in surroundings that […]
