Part of Soho’s modern wave of Sri Lankan restaurants (along with Hoppers and Kolamba), Paradise is now tasting-menu-only and a little more experimental than its contemporaries. The pol roti is puffed up over charcoal and topped with a glazed freshwater prawn and a zingy coconut sambol. A traditional meat curry is made with beef sirloin from Kent and served with a rich Kandy-style sunflower seed curry that’s poured at the table. Bold, innovative flavours that haven’t had as much hype as they deserve.

The simple yet cosy interiors at Bocca di Lupo make it feel decidedly old-school. The food, however, feels fresh and inventive with a nod to classic Italian techniques.

Alex Eagle is the creative director behind stores for Soho House in Berlin, Soho Farmhouse and creative hub 180 The Strand. Her own boutique on Lexington Street stocks everything from hand-painted watering cans to green onyx side tables as well as her cult Alex Eagle Sporting Club stash – the cap of which went viral after Paul Mescal donned one. Artistically curated finds from a London tastemaker.

Gelupo serves up rich, decadent hand-churned gelato in creative flavours like Salted Carmel & Toasted Corn and Honeycomb & Tomato. Skip dessert at sister restaurant Bocca di Lupo and trot across the street for a cone instead.
