Awarded a Michelin star in 2024, and pulling largely from the cuisines of Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal, Akoko offers an incredible ten-course tasting menu. From the opening cocktails – sweet and zippy cacao and date Negronis – to puddings of Ghanaian bofrot doughnuts decorated with elegant flowers – it’s no giddy exaggeration to say that everything at Akoko was spectacular, and packed full of huge flavours.
Fitzrovia’s aura of upper-crust bohemia is perfectly encapsulated by its quality mix of maximalist and minimalist restaurants. Don’t expect cheap eats in this part of town unless you’re checking out the ever-reliable Indian YMCA, but if you’re going to splash out on dinner in Fitzrovia, then we can show you how and where to spend your hard-earned cash in the central London neighbourhood's finest restaurants.
