Foley's

A local restaurant with a groovy outside bar and diverse Asian plates, it’s no wonder Foley’s is such a hit.

Foley’s manages to expertly merge the bustling streets of fashionable Fitzrovia with its peaceful interior, all thanks to the friendly, street-side bar that greets you as you walk in. Step inside and it’s neutral and calming, with exposed brick walls, potted plants aplenty and cosy booths.

Expect modern Asian food with a twist. Start proceedings with a ginger calamari, some duck buns or a wagyu skewer. For mains, try something new with their brisket curry, tamarind duck or vegetarian aubergine-black bean dish with bamboo heart and tofu that will leave those taste buds wanting more. For something more delicate, the grilled seabream is fresh as can be, while the classic pad Thai is always a crowd-pleaser.

Polish it off with one of their signature cocktails, like a Big Panda which lives up to its bold name, or try the Tommy Tam spiced margarita perfect for tequila lovers everywhere. Alternatively, there’s a great wine list to peruse.
