St. John
Traditional British
The whitewashed walls of this old Smithfield smokehouse went stripped-back before stripped-back was a design choice. Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail restaurant holds a Michelin star and has been teaching chefs to use the whole animal for decades. Bone marrow on toast with parsley salad is the dish people make pilgrimages for, but the room's easy conviviality makes the whole meal feel like someone just happened to cook very well.
