Rebecca Seal's top three mushrooms in London

Rebecca Seal's quest for the tastiest shrooms in town...

For pukka people

Fifteen

Fifteen opened back in 2002 but it’s recently been given a makeover — and then some. Now, it is once again a seriously great spot for creative British cooking. Most dishes are served as sharing plates and you’ll probably want to order them all; but don’t miss the perfectly cooked girolles with kale and tasty Berkswell cheese (£14).

For sherry novices

Rosita and the Sherry Bar

Continuing London’s growing love affair with sherry, this little bar offers 25 sorts, and all the tapas on the menu have a suggested pairing. For the crispy flat mushrooms (smeared with Menorcan sobrasada, a chorizo pâté, £4.25), it’s nutty amontillado. Grab a table near the beautiful tiled wall for an authentic Spanish experience.

For dinner and drinks

Social Eating House

Chef Jason Atherton’s empire is still expanding (see Grace Dent’s review of his latest, Berners Tavern). Social is all exposed brick and artfully scuffed plaster; the vibe is a bit NYC drinking den. Wild mushrooms, served with toast and cep purée, are cooked in a bag so that all the aromas are released at the table (£9.50).
