Where to Dine During Frieze London: Six Reservations Worth Securing Now
Frieze London draws the global art world to Regent’s Park each October, a week where creativity spills from the galleries into every corner of the city. But between exhibitions and private viewings, the most coveted experiences often happen at the table. London’s newest culinary talents are creating dining rooms as visionary as any art fair pavilion and these six chefs and restaurants deserve a spot on your itinerary.
1. Chishuru – Adejoké Bakare
Adejoké Bakare made history as the first Black woman in the UK to earn a Michelin star, and her refined West African tasting menus at Chishuru are a study in elegance and heritage. Expect layered flavors, meticulous presentation, and an atmosphere that feels intimate yet electric.
2. KOL – Santiago Lastra
Santiago Lastra, who honed his craft with Noma Mexico, brings a poetic approach to Mexican cuisine at KOL. Seasonal British ingredients meet traditional techniques in a menu that feels both rooted and inventive, an ideal dinner after a day immersed in bold, contemporary art.
3. The Tiffin Box – Jomon Kuriakose
MasterChef alum Jomon Kuriakose reimagines Indian cuisine with theatrical flair at The Tiffin Box. His menus are a balance of vibrant spice and delicate plating, each dish telling its own story. Perfect for a convivial group dinner or a lingering late-night bite.
4. Roe – Jack Croft & William Murray
From the creative minds behind Fallow comes Roe, a sophisticated new venture in Canary Wharf. Here, the emphasis is on sustainability, bold flavors, and impeccable presentation all delivered in a space that feels modern and indulgent.
5. Canal – Adrian Hernandez Farina
Part Mediterranean escape, part design statement, Canal pairs a menu of seasonal, sun-drenched flavors with interiors worthy of an art installation. Chef Adrian Hernandez Farina’s dishes are as beautiful as the Grand Union Canal views from the terrace.
6. Sino – Eugene Korolev & Polina Sychova
Celebrating the richness of Ukrainian cuisine, Sino offers a dining experience filled with nostalgia and modernity. Chefs Eugene Korolev and Polina Sychova craft menus that honor tradition while speaking to a cosmopolitan London audience.
During Frieze, dining should be more than a reservation, it’s an extension of the art. These chefs are not only redefining London’s culinary map, they are creating spaces where every plate is a canvas and every service a performance.
