Food Scene

Since opening in 2006, Adam Byatt’s Trinity has become a SW4 institution. The restaurant is as close to traditional fine dining as you’ll get in Clapham — last year it was awarded a Michelin star. And for good reason. Potato tartlets with peas, broad beans and girolles are perfectly executed; fishy ravioli sitting in lobster soup delicate and pretty. Byatt’s food makes Clapham a real destination for gastro-adventurers. The ratatouille, colourful and precise, brings even the most hardened north Londoner south of the river.

Mien Tay serves some of the best Vietnamese outside Vietnam. This is authentic home-style cooking. The pho is deep and fragrant — the kind of restorative, piquant broth nobody wishes to end. Spring and summer rolls are both delicate and beautifully fresh. Alongside stir fries, busy with flavours of lemongrass and ginger, try the more adventurous dishes on the menu, such as whole crispy sea bream, and punchy Mien Tay eel. Mien Tay is technically in Battersea... just.

French chef Yoann Chevet runs Sinabro with his Korean wife Sujin Lee. It’s one of many hangouts on Clapham’s busy Battersea Rise, and does a five-course tasting menu for £49. In 2017, Sinabro celebrated its three-year anniversary with a menu that began with sourdough and seaweed pesto, navigated through egg parfait, beetroot cured salmon, halibut and pearl barley, and a very bistro-style lamb; culminating with a chocolate tart. Often, Sinabro appears fiercely traditional, but there are often fun twists. The service is also reliably excellent.

Of course, Clapham hasn’t escaped the small plates revolution. Soif does them well. Think cured sea trout with creme fraiche, horseradish and dill or spiky fried artichokes mellowed by aioli, and fresh and bouncy Devon crab doughnuts. Soif is a wine bar before it’s a restaurant, however, and it’s the tasting nights which make the place most endearing — and impressive. The evenings drift from the Jura region to the Languedoc; whistlestop tours paired with some of those memorable, seasonal and inventive small plates.
