 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐱 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐲 “I want to create something which is absolutely unique, to start a conversation on the whole concept of food preservation; of indigenous and tribal communities”. With a focus on traditional fermentation techniques and the rarest of produce from the regions of Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh and Maharashtra, visionary chef Vanika Choudhary is on a one-woman mission to redefine Indian cuisine. At Noon, her Mumbai restaurant at the forefront of modern Indian fine dining, Vanika’s in-house fermentation programme saw over 50 ferments bubbling away at any given time. Taking on an entirely new flavour profile and free from the bounds of seasonality, she would then coax untold deliciousness from every last kabra (caper berry) and kosnyot (wild caraway). Taking a break from intensive R&D for her next hotly-anticipated project, Vanika joins us with a mind-blowing menu that melds her signature Indian preserves with the best of British produce. Highlights include ‘Chestnut Pani Puri | Crab, Green Strawberry | Nectarine Kanji | Pisyoon Loon’; ‘Wild Scottish Scallops | Pumpkin Kasundi | Fiddlehead Fern, Chervil’; and ‘Seekh Tujji | Rajma Chawal Miso | Dooni Chetin, Gand Chetin, Pudna Chetin, Mirchi Achar | Lavasa’. If any of those ingredients are unfamiliar to you, worry not. You’re in safe hands. Get ready to re-learn what you thought you knew about Indian cooking.

 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 This summer we’re dusting off our boots, packing the van and setting off for Oxfordshire. And that can only mean one thing: Wilderness 2024, here we come.  For four days each August, the serene grounds at Cornbury Park are transformed into a no-holds-barred tour of the arts. This is a place where experience is everything, melding culinary delights with workshops and music, the weird and the wild. And after the fun we had last year, we couldn’t resist saying yes to another foray into the forest. From Thursday to Sunday you’ll find us in the heart of the action slinging a menu bursting with our wine bar classics like ‘Fried Chicken, Pickled Cucumber, Scotch Bonnet Honey’; ‘Mangalitza Pork Skewer’; and the ultimate festival snack ‘Hash Brown, ‘Nduja, Anchovy.’ And for the most intrepid of experience seekers we’ll be hosting a series of workshops like you’ve never seen before. Head to the link in our bio to take a look at our full workshop lineup (spoiler alert, it’s epic).

𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐨 𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐮 Saturday 20th July, 5pm - 6:30pm If we say tequila, you might say bad decisions. But this is one you won’t regret… On Saturday 20th July, our very own Matteo Vaccargiu is hosting an intimate tasting in No. 23, taking you on a tour of Oaxaca through the lens of its most cherished plant: agave. You’ll discover the rich history of mezcal and tequila; how a humble plant becomes such a smokey sensation; and, importantly, how to properly taste and identify its often overlooked complex flavours. Over the course of the evening you’ll smell and swirl three mezcals and two tequilas, accompanied by a selection of classic Mexican snacks. We can’t promise you won’t have a headache the next day, but you may well have a new favourite drink (and bartender). Tickets include a selection of 5 tequilas and mezcals and a trio of snacks. Book in via the No. 23 page on our website.

Our GM, Josh, is something of a wine buff. And we’re here for it. It means you’ve got a constantly changing selection of wines to try by the glass, and a cellar list almost 200-strong with references from Georgia to France, Slovenia to Italy. Packed with bottles to cater for all tastes, Josh will be able to find something perfect for you. His personal favourite right now? This 2016 Les Noëls de Montbenault from viniculture legend, Richard Leroy; in Josh’s words, “the best Chenin in the world.” Swing by our wine bar, noon ‘til late, Tuesday to Saturday to find your match, or if you want to see this smile in person, grab a bottle of this Chenin before it’s gone.

Hot weather and meze. They go hand in hand. This weather is delivering, so it’s only right that we sort out the rest. Our guest chef this week is Turkish-Cypriot super talent Keiran Mustafa. Prior to opening his restaurant @kibris_london in the near future, Keiran is putting on a 14-course spread of future Kıbrıs classics. An array of Soğuk Meze, Ara Sicaklar, Mangal and Tatilar set to transport you to the Mediterranean and become your new favourite way of eating. Sorry, did we mention there’s 14 dishes? There’s still some availability this week, so down your fans and head to the link in our bio to grab your spot at this pop-up meyhane.

 Jamie Smart is exactly that. “One of the most intuitively brilliant chefs I can remember” (Tim Hayward, The FT), Jamie’s carefully considered seasonal approach has earned him universal acclaim at Newington Green smash hit, Cadet, since it opened in summer 2022. After guiding the cave à manger to neighbourhood icon status, the former Lyles, St JOHN, Brawn, Flor and Auberge de Chassignolles super talent is now embarking on his own solo (ad)venture. Marrying both British and French influences, Jamie’s Carousel menu will showcase a slightly more refined approach to the kind of dishes we’ve come to know at Cadet. Expect summery beauties like ‘Langoustine, Raw Cream, Sorrel’; ‘White Asparagus, Garlic Honey Vichyssoise’; ‘Hogget, Cherries, Grilled Piatonni Beans; and ‘Chocolate Sabayon Tart, Malted Rye, Smoked Tea’ when he joins us in late July. Grab your ticket through the link in our bio.

 El diablo está en los detalles... From its bespoke joinery to the silky-smooth sound system, each detail in our new mezcalería and tostada bar work together in sweet harmony, so all you have to focus on is the drink in your left hand and the tostada in your right, oh, and what your friend is saying. Swing by to No. 23 to take a journey through our sensory map of Mexico’s mezcals, with each of your drinks leaving its indelible patina on the zinc bartop.

 In two weeks we’re welcoming our friends Emme and Chris to Carousel. Their restaurant @tavernaenprim is a masterclass in Mediterranean live fire cooking. “I dare to say almost 95% of the menu goes through the grill”, says Chris. “The smokiness is an ingredient that’s very present in our food.” Join us to see these two emerging stars in action.

 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐱 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐨 𝟐𝟒 “No hay caviar, pero hay maíz”. Riding high at No. 49 in Latin America’s ‘50Best’, cult chef Pablo Díaz has put Guatemala City on the culinary map with his ever popular, produce-driven smash hit, Mercado 24.  Just a few hundred yards from La Terminal (one of the city’s 23 bustling markets), the vibrant indoor-outdoor-dining experience showcases Pablo’s unique way with the seasonal bounty of his cherished homeland. Deceptively simple dishes like ‘Langoustine Tostada, Lemon Zest, Red Onion, Pink Apple Umeboshi’ and ‘Aged Duck, Plantain & Burnt Butter Purée, Confit Carrot, Cardamom’ are not only testament to the close relationships that Pablo has forged with growers throughout Guatemala, but also his incredible ability to extract every last bit of flavour from his chosen ingredients.  Ring any bells? The tostada king and Carousel are no strangers. Pablo {PAIRED} up with Call Super for our multi-sensory Chef x DJ dining experience last April, and, in just a few weeks, he’ll be lighting up the lakeside WildKitchen at Guy Ritchie’s Wiltshire estate. With a world renowned restaurant and a dab hand for a pop-up, this one is going to be huge.  Head to the link in our bio to book in.

 Gimlet Verde // Gin, Pea, Apple, Lime Over in our mezcalería and tostada bar at No. 23, we make our own pea and apple cordial from English heritage apples and hand podded peas. This is combined with the juice of those pea shells to maximise flavour and reduce waste, then double strained for clarity. That cordial brings the flavour-packed sweetness, balanced with lime for acidity and a healthy dose of gin for, well it’s a cocktail, right? Finished with a spritz of 5-year aged @showeringscider, this cocktail is our most elegant apéritif, perfect to refresh the palate before heading in for our guest chef tasting menu.

 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐱 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐥 Javier Rodríguez  |  El Papagayo  |  August 16th & 17th When Javier Rodríguez opened El Papagayo in his hometown of Córdoba, Argentina, he set himself the not inconsiderable task of “sparking off a nationwide culinary movement”. Ten years on and it’s safe to say it’s mission accomplished. Ranked among the top one hundred restaurants in Latin America, Javier’s very personal project champions regional traditions and techniques from central Argentina, and sits at the heart of a mini gastro-empire that includes restaurants, cafés, a bakery and even a boutique hotel. El Papagayo’s twelve-course tasting menu reflects Córdoba’s unique geography, flanked between the pampas and the Sierras Chicas mountains. Of course there’s red meat - of the dry-aged ribeye variety, cooked with intense heat and patience - but Javier’s beautifully executed repertoire of elevated serrano flavours also includes more unusual combinations like ‘langoustine, maíz and merkén’, ‘tomato tonnato’ and ‘roast duck, peach, paprika, pine nut and sweet vermouth’.  Javier perfected his craft at some of the world’s very best (Noma, Tetsuya’s, Restaurant Andre) and also happens to be Carousel’s very first guest chef, way back in the summer of 2014. We owe him a debt of gratitude, as do the countless young Argentinians that he’s inspired this past decade as he’s successfully moved the dial for modern Argentine gastronomy.
