  3. Rank 2. Smokestak

    Barbecue

    The brisket goes into the smoker overnight and comes out glazed, melting, and almost insultingly good for the price. This Shoreditch barbecue joint keeps things straightforward: expertly handled smoke, wallet-friendly plates, and a room that's genuinely lively without trying too hard. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks. Service moves fast and knows the menu cold.

  4. Rank 4. FOWL

    American

    A chicken fat tarte Tatin might be the most committed dessert menu decision in London. FOWL is a casual restaurant from the team behind Fallow, devoted entirely to the bird, beak to tail, from wings and strips through rotisserie and schnitzel to that notorious pudding. The approach is playful but the sourcing is serious, which is exactly the combination that keeps a one-note concept from becoming a gimmick.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
