2026 National Restaurant Awards Top 100 Restaurants — Page 2

Luke Ahearne and Stevie Parle's Fitzrovia collaboration shows stronger form at lunch than dinner, with ingredient quality outpacing execution on the evening menu. Walk-ins are easy, the room suits midday service better, the kitchen is still finding consistency. Book lunch for £18–28 mains and tighter pacing, or wait another year for the dinner service to settle.

Book Tiella by Dara Klein for an intimate Bethnal Green trattoria meal with regional Italian cooking, a curated wine focus, a relaxed former-pub room. It is strongest for dates or small catch-ups, less suitable for groups. National Restaurant Awards Top 100 recognition adds confidence, but the real draw is the neighbourhood feel and à la carte flexibility.
