Restaurant: North Road

Danish chef Christoffer Hruskova worked at a Michelin starred restaurant in his native land before opening his latest, greatest restaurant, North Road in Clerkenwell. The light wooden flooring and white walls serve as a fitting backdrop for a pared-down Scandinavian feel – there is no ‘jus’ or fussiness here to distract from the clarity of the delicious ingredients. Instead you’ll find slow-cooked leg of Gloucester old spot in hay, and raw, cured, hand dived Scottish scallops, followed by puddings such as forced Yorkshire rhubarb and beetroot. Lunch is good value at £20 for three courses, but we’d recommend the evenings for a little more romance.
