Verdict: Kerb have done it again. Not content with creating fantastic food markets in Camden and Kings Cross, they’ve also opened, in my opinion, one of the best food markets in London (Arcade Food Hall remains my favourite).
Seven Dials Market has it all. A wide range of cuisines and delectable eats, places to sit and enjoy your food (I’m looking at you Borough Market), a bookshop, a florist and live music. Oh, and a giant banana which everyone is Instagramming.
I’ve been making my way around Seven Dials Market, here are my favourite food so far. And check the Seven Dials website for the latest food on offer!
Yum Bun
As someone who’s grown up eating steamed buns, I was excited to try Yum Bun’s unique combinations.
I ordered the slow roasted pork belly (with cucumber, spring onion and hoi sin sauce) and Japanese – style fried chicken (with pickles, mayo, lettuce and chilli) for £9.50. Yum Bun also serve gyoza.
El Pollote
El Pollote offers award-winning fried chicken. I can confirm it’s delicious!
Both sweet and spicy, the guava glazed fried chicken creates a party in your mouth – and everyone’s invited. The yuca fries also deserve a special mention in their own right. They beat ordinary French fries hands down.
Truffle Burger
One of the most sophisticated burgers in London, the signature Truffle Burger has a beef and smoked patty, fig jam, raclette cheese and Truffle mayonnaise. The beef patties are 90 day dry aged. And if you still have room for more, Truffle Burger also serve deep fried brie with truffle honey.
And here’s what I can’t wait to eat
Pick & Cheese
A conveyer belt of cheese?! Yes please! Pick & Cheese are the world’s first cheese conveyor restaurant (I’m kicking myself for not starting a Kickstarter). If that wasn’t already music to your ears, Pick & Cheese offer bottomless plates. “As many plates from the Belt as you like, for 1 hour 15 mins, every Wednesday”. brb.
Little Pudding
Dessert is my favourite course. Little Pudding has something for all sweet tooths including fluffernutters, brownies, doughnuts and cinnamon buns.
Stakehaus
There aren’t enough good casual steak places in London. Stakehaus joins Flat Iron by offering bavette steak for £13. And if you’re vegetarian or vegan, you don’t have to miss out either. Stakehaus have a 3D printed steak made with zero animal products.
Bad Boy Society Pizza
“Hey, am walking ere!”. Transport yourself to New York and grab a slice of za at Bd Boy Society. The menu is small, but there is just enough options for everyone including goats cheese and nduja.
Hash Hut
Hash Hut will make you forget about McDonald’s hash browns. Hash Huts are loaded with toppings like fried chicken and pulled pork.
Soft Serve Society
Soft Serve Society have taken classic sundae flavours and combinations and have improved them by adding little things like butter cookies, mochi balls and apple stew and cinnamon sauce. Also look out for their Iced Candyfloss Latte.
Wheelcake Island
Wheelcakes are fluffy Taiwanese pancakes stuffed with fillings like azuki beans, vanilla custard, matcha custard and chocolate and vanilla.
