Dabbous continues to impress the food critics
Dabbous, the first restaurant from former Texture head chef Ollie Dabbous, continues to impress the food critics, with Amol Rajan rating it as the most thrilling addition to the London dining scene for yonks.
Located in Fitzrovia, Dabbous is a joint venture between the chef and mixologist Oskar Kinberg, with a menu of small plates with seasonal produce and light, clean flavours at its heart.
Writing in the Independent on Sunday, Rajan is hugely impressed with the delicious food and friendly service at Dabbous, scoring it a near perfect 9.5 out of 10.
