Indulging at London’s fantastic restaurants is one of the best ways to make memories.
Though no matter how hard we try, sometimes we must accept that there is only so much food we can consume. So why not take home a memento that won’t make you sick with gluttony? From dashing caps to table zhuzhing linens, the city’s most fawned over restaurants have something with your (and their) name on it.
T-shirts from Bao (from £18), Pastaio X Luke Edward Hall (£29) and Bad Boy Pizza Society (£15) make great staples, while the River Café X Bella Freud Nemesis jumper (£395) and Maison François X Novel Mart sweatshirts (£45) are tremendously snug.
Accessories more your bag? Go incognito in either a Voodoo Ray’s Pizza, Pizza, Pizza cap (£18.50) or The Côte x Novel Mart Cap (£35), lug home your wine in a St John bag (£16), take a bottle to the park in a Shop Cuvée X Yalla wine sling (£16.99), and don’t forget to keep Covid-safe in a Balady face mask (£5).
If you’re looking to recreate the restaurant décor in the comfort of your own home, bring a dash of timeless elegance to the table with Claridge’s X Summerill & Bishop linen (from £25), serve up supper on a Gloria antipasti plate (£11), and crack open a bottle of your favourite wine with a Noble Fine Liquor corkscrew (£6).
