Naughty Piglets

The second best restaurant in Brixton (you should also check out Salon). Husband and wife duo Margeaux and Joe’s neighbourhood spot feels refreshingly out of the way. Joe’s food—scallop with cauliflower and chamomile or Jerusalem artichoke with blue cheese and grilled pear—is innovative, exciting, and skillfully executed. But most important, tasty. Margeaux hosts and picks the wine with Parisienne aplomb. Ask to sit at the bar so you can be close enough to soak up her exceptional wine knowledge. From there, you can watch your food being cooked over the impressive charcoal grill.
