    Cuisine: Asian

    The Ivy Asia St Paul's opened on 18 November 2019 as The Ivy Collection's first pan-Asian restaurant in London, and it was built to be looked at as much as eaten in. The site had been Jamie Oliver's Barbecoa; almost nothing of that grill room survived the rebuild. Richard Caring's Caprice Holdings took the space in 2019 and stripped it back to the shell. Architects Pumphouse an…

    Vasiniko is devoted to authentic Neapolitan pizza, with two central London locations near Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square.
