Sollip

Flying somewhat under the radar, this extremely likeable restaurant is run by a Korean husband-and-wife team who combine skills learnt in Europe’s top kitchens with techniques and flavours from their homeland. The daikon tarte Tatin and Peach pavlova dessert are stand-outs, but all the dishes are polished and poised, rather than showy or over-complicated. The room has a cool, calm and contemporary feel, where you sense that every element has been carefully considered. Wonderfully relaxed and professional service is a perfect fit for the food.
