Our housemade Mangalitza kimchi sausage, served on a bed of Flourish Farm’s stunning koral kale—a vibrant mix of greens, blues, and purples that (almost) steals the show. Finished with a rich pork jus, this dish is every bit as bold as it looks. Available this week on our prix fixe lunch menu.

 Offering comfort food in uncertain times, POPL began life as a simple burger joint launched by Noma during the pandemic. Since then, it’s evolved into a diverse and innovative neighbourhood restaurant that tells a compelling story of tradition, creativity, and craftsmanship. Spearheaded by Toni Toivanen, and using techniques like fermentation, pickling and smoking, @poplburger's young and ambitious R&D team explores Danish ingredients in new ways to create the distinctive flavours that have become its hallmark. As for the burgers… Well they’re suitably revolutionary. Crispy, meaty, and crucially, sustainable, their ‘lion’s mane’ stack is paired with a Noma Projects dashi reduction, lettuce, and tomato; a clever twist on a classic that redefines what you expect from a burger. A pairing of house-made juices and low-intervention wines blur the line between fine dining and comfort food, while a thoughtful collection of snacks, sides, and desserts round out a refined yet approachable dining experience that’s built to be shared and talked about. Goodbye Ronald, hello POPL. We’re offering a shorter menu of POPL creations for this one, with staggered bookings available from 6.30pm until late. Move fast, these tickets won't last long.

 @oliahercules is back. Olia has been lighting up Carousel’s kitchen with her vibrant take on Ukrainian cuisine for nearly a decade. From that unforgettable 2015 feast for Mamushka to this latest menu full of treats—think sourdough pampushki and crispy potato vareniki—she’s always cooking up something special. Join us on Saturday 19th October for a one-day-only, flavour-packed residency that celebrates her homeland with love and authenticity. Slava Ukraini!

 Next week we welcome Copenhagen’s latest home run, @paulicph to London. Pauli is the effortlessly laid-back, neighbourhood favourite from our good friend Kieran McLaughlin (Relæ, La Banchina)... Infusing New Nordic cuisine with international influences, Kieran has been making big waves in the city since he opened last year. On the menu? Bold creations underpinned by serious culinary technique. Think ‘lamb culotte, red shiso, black garlic, fermented bean pureé, mirabelle umeboshi & chicken sauce’ served with ‘charred kale, vegan XO sauce, Pauli flatbread & brown butter hollandaise’. This is some serious technique-driven cookery, brought to you by a true Carousel hero. He’ll be serving up bespoke offerings for vegetarians and pescatarians too, just check out his ‘Sea’ and ‘Field & Forest’ menus through the link in our bio.

 Maizajo has officially landed from CDMX, and founder @santiagomumo is serving up a tasting menu that’s nothing short of spectacular. Leading the charge is their iconic prawn taco with mojo isleño and habanero mayo; an unforgettable bite of pure, crunchy flavour. And that’s just the start. The pork belly poc chuc with confit ox cheek and smoked black chorizo, served on nixtamalized heirloom tortillas, is the kind of dish that’ll stay with you long after the last bite. There’s only a few tickets left to this Mexican masterclass. Make sure they’re yours. 📷 @willpagebrown

 Thessaloníki is having a moment, and Poster – the runaway success story from chef Vasilis Chamam – is the city’s hottest new restaurant. Rooted in Vasilis’ unique heritage (he has a Greek mother, a father who grew up in Jordan, a grandfather from Palestine and a grandmother from Lebanon), this is not Greek food as we know it. Now back in his hometown after over 20 years in London, Vasilis is reviving memories made around his own kitchen table years before, this time telling a story of his travels in the years since: “I still cook with the same principles in mind: “immigration, the diaspora, the moving and mixing of people, ingredients and recipes, relocation and adaptation.” Expect worldly dishes like ‘chilopites pasta, pork broth, mussels, chermoula, caviar’; ‘grilled monkfish tail, braised greens, avgolemono’; and ‘quince tatin, cardamom & coffee namelaka’ on Vasilis’ full-throttle, flavour-forward menu of modern Greek classics.

 @sokunthearvong is Carousel family. He honed his skills as a junior sous in our kitchen, but since then he’s made waves at Parisian hotspots like Aux Deux Amis, where his off-the-cuff bistronomie has earned a genuine cult following. Now, with his own restaurant in the works, he’s returning to Carousel on 16th October for one night only as part of our 10th birthday celebrations. On the menu? Dishes like ‘soused sardines with roasted garlic and anchovy cream’, and ‘pear sorbet with lemon basil and parmesan’. Seats won’t last long - check out his incredible menu and book in via the link in our bio.

 Unconventional and unapologetic, @bastardshanghai is making waves in London this week, just as they have back home. This ‘mod-Chinese’ restaurant, founded by duo Jiro & Michael, is turning heads with dishes like char siu glazed in longan honey and smoked soy, paired with roasted maitake and tree bark. Other highlights? Prawn toast with pomelo and fennel, and their must-try malai gao with mascarpone and kinako. One taste and you’ll see why they’re the talk of the town. Act fast to grab one of the remaining tables…

The smashburger supernova is back. Chuck George, AKA @chucksnyc is returning on October 15th for one night only. We repeat: One. Night. Only. Slinging a short menu centred around his iconic smashburger, Chuck’s is back to kick off our week-long 10th birthday celebrations in style. Grab your seat through the link in our bio before they go (because, judging by last time, they will). P.S. No modifications.

 Forget everything you thought you knew about Tijuana. Lapping the shores of the Pacific, the city is fast gaining recognition as a vibrant culinary destination thanks to its world class seafood. Leading the charge is José (‘Joe’) Figueroa and his award-winning Carmelita Molino y Cocina. Fresh from securing his Bib Gourmand in Mexico’s inaugural Michelin Guide, José’s menu celebrates the bounty of Baja with a modern twist, featuring dishes like ‘Cornish tuna warayaki with salsa tatemada and tostadas’, and his generous Baja seafood platter (think ‘scallop with ginger scallion sauce and preserved lemon’; ‘cockle ceviche’; 'fish tostada' and his unforgettable ‘Tijuana style oyster’). We did say generous… Expect a flavourful journey that honours his family roots. Carmelita, the restaurant’s namesake, is inspired by the warmth and traditions of José’s grandmother, whose love of cooking ignited his passion for the craft. José combines that heritage with top-notch culinary training (including time at the three-Michelin-starred L’Enclume) and a fierce commitment to sourcing the best regional ingredients. This is more than a menu, it’s a reflection of Tijuana’s ever-evolving spirit, blending bold flavours with time-honoured traditions. Come hungry, leave inspired.

 “Wasted is a daily reminder that the future is now, and together we can make a real change.” - Massimo Bottura Endorsed by culinary legends like René Redzepi and Massimo Bottura - oh, and the cast of The Bear - @eatwasted is the groundbreaking waste-free pasta initiative from Copenhagen. Hitting our Wine Bar for the London leg of their global tour (yep, their pasta gets its own world tour), this standing-room-only event features a curated waste-free menu, with records spun by our very own Ollie Templeton. Plus, for every portion of pasta sold, a portion is donated to those in need. Book in early to avoid disappointment. Link in bio.

 Meet our take on the classic French 75. We’ve swapped out the gin for earthy tequila, blending it with a strawberry oleo saccharum, slow-infused for 24 hours to capture every drop of flavour. Tarragon adds a hint of anise, while a splash of Krone Blanc de Blancs brings those crisp, dry notes to round it all off. No. 23 is open 5pm - 11pm, Tuesday to Saturday

 Mareida is already one of the hottest names in London—and it hasn’t even opened yet. From the iconic Moai-inspired petit fours and playful ‘fish tartare with granita in an ice cream cone’ to the ‘pescado a la parrilla’ and ‘fried pumpkin pastry’ seasoned with salt from the Atacama desert, head chef Carolina Bazán’s sold-out Carousel residency is a sneak peek of what’s coming to Great Portland Street in 2025.

 This month’s guest chef line up is a perfect example of what we do at Carousel. Chile to China, Mexico to Denmark, we showcase some of the world’s best culinary talent, right here in the heart of London. 17th - 21st September | Mareida, London Introducing Mareida, the hotly anticipated London opening with Chilean culinary icon Carolina Bazán (named Latin America's Best Female Chef in 2019 by the World's 50 Best). Incorporating influences from Patagonia to the Atacama, Mareida's playful menus showcase Carolina's thrilling 'New Chilean' style that reflects the "Quirky, understated elegance" (Nicholas Gill, NY Times) of the contemporary Chilean gastronomic landscape. 24th - 28th September | BASTARD, Shanghai This utterly brilliant, neon fever dream of a 'mod-Chinese restaurant from Michael Janczewski (Ho Lee Fook, Canton Disco) is coming to London with a short collection of thrilling dishes that takes inspiration from different regions around China. Think 'Prawn Toast Two Ways, Pomelo, Fennel; 'Ma La Beef Cheek, Spring Onion Pancake, Mint'; Char Siu, Longan Honey, Smoked Soy; 'Xianjing-style Dan Dan Noodles'; and their showstopping 'Malai Gao, Mascarpone, Kinako.’ 1st - 5th October | Maizajo, Mexico City Maizajo, one of Mexico City’s most beloved taquerías, arrives in London with its iconic take on Mexico’s street food. Known for its freshly nixtamalized heirloom tortillas, expect bold dishes like their ‘prawn taco with mojo isleño & habanero mayo’ and the knockout ‘pork belly “poc chuc”, confit ox cheek and smoked black chorizo with fried beans, green mole, “salbute” & tortillas’. 8th - 12th October | Pauli, Copenhagen Introducing Pauli, Copenhagen's latest home run by our buddy Kieran McLaughlin. With a focus on ‘new Nordic’ cuisine, underpinned by some very serious cookery and international influences, Kieran is making waves with bold creations like ‘squid with chanterelle, mussels and brown butter’ and ‘lamb with beach kale, baby leeks, and tarragon’.
