"If you’ve been privileged enough to experience fine dining-style restaurants, it can be easy to disregard another starred spot. But Ikoyi is one of those restaurants, complete with a £350 tasting menu, that will make you wonder whether a higher power has been resurrected in the form of a bowl of crab custard. The Strand restaurant is global in influence and haute in style, with West African spicing playing a big part. The combination of these things—dishes like ginger and kombu caramelised plantain and irresistible smoked jollof rice—makes Ikoyi a truly unique eating and drinking experience." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
