The entrance to Bocca di Lupo, opened by Jacob Kenedy and Victor Hugo in Archer street in London. It’s an excellent place where you can share many small tastings (photo credits www.arbuturian.com)
(read part one) The small plate theme has developed in London the same way that Neo-Bistrots have in Paris – places where you can opt for a selection of four or five shared plates rather than the conventional starter main course and pudding. My firm favourite is Bocca di Lupo, which is located in what was once one of the seedier back streets in Soho but thanks to this and Gelupo, their granita bar directly opposite, the place has begun to take on a respectable tinge.
