Black Truffle & Ricotta Tortellini in Brodo
Postcodes are kind of like an access pass to different cultures. London is the literal expression of a melting pot, its a place where people dismantle the notion that difference creates division, what better way to explore this than through food? You’ll see a few things here - food I have thunk (yes thats a word) up and photographed (decently might I add) and some recommendations of places I think you have to try (I mean you don’t have to but if you don’t then mercury will be in gatorade). London and Truffle is a journal really, an interesting outlook on food and the way we experience it.

Our Favourite spots this month February 2025 —
SE1: OMA
Let’s talk about that deconstructed spanakopita shall we? I would love to have a steady stream of warm laffa bread and all the dips everyday. So damn good!
SE1: Agora
Is this cheating? Here’s the thing, you have to walk through Agora to get to OMA and its always packed and the vibes are vibe-sing but the food…. the food is impeccable.
SW9: Chishuru
West African food + Ajoke (head chef) = yes. Now I haven’t been but (hear me out) I really want to and I have it on good authority (a very particular Nigerian) that it was really good.
WC2: Barrafina
Three words - you have to go (okay, that is four words but ‘to’ doesn’t count). Words cannot describe how I feel about small plates, specifically small plates at Barrafina. Thank me later.
EC1: Tanakatsu
Katsu and some of the best sushi. I’ve moved in and they can’t get rid of me. I blame the Iberico katsu and the tartare sushi role thing - I would like to ask it to be my best friend. Small but such a great spot.
W1T: Akoko
Being West African, it is so important that I experience food I grew up with, differently. The oysters are insane, the zobo panacotta - can I have that every day please, the bofrot (aka puff puff) magical. Just go and thank Jesus and his parents later.
