We’re all in trying and unprecedented times due to coronavirus, and the restaurant biz is no exception
With coronavirus sweeping through the UK, many of London’s best restaurants have temporarily shut up shop. Others have, for now, decided to keep going, while maintaining the best safety and hygiene standards possible.

Some of them even have juicy extras, whether it’s a free bottle of bubbly at Hutong or an extra 10 percent added to the value of the gift card at Perilla. Go on, show ’em some love.
