Editor's Selection
KC Picks
Our hand-picked favourites across the Triangle. The venues we'd send a friend to without hesitation.
Butcher
Bevan's Butchers
Kingston's heritage butcher since 1929. Award-winning meat from a family that's been doing this for nearly a century — proper cuts, proper advice, proper queues.
Restaurant
Cah Chi
Guardian-approved Korean BBQ with table-side grilling, exceptional banchan, and Grace Dent's stamp of 'umami-drenched deliciousness'.
Restaurant
Imone
A small family-run Korean spot where the home-style cooking and golden pajeon have earned it an 8.5 from The Infatuation.
Restaurant
Koyal
2 AA Rosette Indian restaurant with a Michelin-starred chef. Contemporary cooking that's genuinely exceptional — not just a cut above, but a different league entirely.
Cafe
Pickled Pantry
The brunch spot Surbiton queues for. Inventive dishes, locally sourced ingredients, and the kind of cooking that makes weekend mornings worth waking up for.
Restaurant
Poor Boys
New Orleans-inspired po'boys, fried seafood, and frozen cocktails served in a neon-lit dive bar setting tucked down a side alley off Kingston's Market Place.
Restaurant
Sushi Hero
Tiny, unassuming, exceptional. The kind of neighbourhood sushi spot where regulars outnumber walk-ins and the fish is fresher than it has any right to be.
Restaurant
The French Table
Surbiton's flagship restaurant. Proper French cooking in an intimate Maple Road setting — this is where you come when dinner needs to impress.
Pub
The Spring Grove
A tucked-away Young's pub on a quiet residential street near the Kingston–Surbiton border, serving since 1867. Large garden, open fires in winter, and a proper all-day food menu with well-regarded Sunday roasts.
Restaurant
You Me Korean
New Malden's OG Korean spot since 1988 — handmade jajangmyeon noodles so long they come with scissors.
