ALTA

Monday – Friday | 50% off food

Rob Roy Cameron’s stargazy-style sardine empanada must be one of those most Instagrammable dishes in London right now. The chef worked for living legends Ferran Adrià at el Bulli and Albert Adrià at 41 Degrees and Hoja Santa in Barcelona and now you can find him cooking seriously good northern Spanish food at ALTA in Kingly Court.

MOI

Sunday – Friday | 50% off food

From the same stable as ALTA above (MAD Hospitality), MOI on Wardour Street is an ambitious Japanese live fire restaurant and omakase bar with a dedicated listening room. The menu is broad, encompassing all manner of deliciousness from tempura lobster claw and curry emulsion to Duroc pork chop with fermented peach, pepper, and mustard.

Firebird

Every day | 50% off food

Firebird on Poland Street is recognised as one of the key Soho addresses for lovers of natural wine and live fire cooking. There’s a whisper of smoke to nearly every dish, as you’ll see from the sea bass crudo with kumquats and smoked lemon miso and smoked figs with lardo.

Singapulah

Monday – Friday | 50% off food

Ellen Chew’s Singapulah on the border of Soho and Chinatown is a celebration of all things Singaporean. The comprehensive menu includes hawker stall favourites like satay, char kway teow, Singapore chilli crab and rojak.

Kricket

Monday | 50% off food

Counter seating and sharing plates contribute to the buzzy atmosphere at this popular modern Indian spot near Piccadilly Circus. Seasonal dishes include venison laal mas with pickled blackberry and smoked ghee.

Inko Nito

Sunday – Friday | 50% off food

Japanese techniques meet Korean flavours at this lively restaurant from the Zuma and Roka stable. Cool interiors and a great location off Carnaby Street.

Miznon

Sunday – Wednesday | Up to 50% off food

There’s very little Miznon won’t stuff inside a pita. Don’t miss their take on fish and chips (with sea bass, pickles and Champagne vinegar) or their famous ‘folded’ cheeseburger.

Shoryu Ramen

Monday – Thursday | 25% off food

This go-to for authentic Japanese ramen in London has recently introduced jiro ramen, a cult classic invented in Tokyo in the 1960s, to the menu. Not for the faint-hearted, the noodles come with pork belly, a mountain of bean sprouts and heaps of minced garlic.

Bar Crispin

Monday – Friday | 50% off food

A cracking little wine bar in a great location by Dom Hamdy (Bistro Freddie, Canal etc). Match a bottle from the extensive European-leaning natural wine list with dishes such as Coombeshead Farm ham and Mantua melon, and lamb skewers with labneh, cucumber and mint.

Hoppers

Monday – Friday | 25% off food

The original branch of JKS Restaurants’ approachable Sri Lankan restaurant group inspired by Sri Lanka’s traditional toddy shops. On the menu: short eats, dosas, kothus, karis, and the bowl-shaped rice and coconut pancakes from which Hoppers takes its name.

Tapas Brindisa

Sunday – Wednesday | Up to 30% off total bill

This popular tapas bar doesn’t miss a beat with its menus covering all the classics such as pan con tomate, chipirones fritos, and manchego, as well as more inventive seasonal plates such as cod fillet with saffron potato purée with truffle and sobrasada crumble. Just add sherry.

Bancone

Sunday – Tuesday | 30% off total bill

Why do so many CODE members go back to this Golden Square fresh pasta restaurant again and again and again? Quite possibly because of the ‘silk handkerchiefs’ with walnuts and a soft golden egg yolk.

The Mulwray

Tuesday – Saturday | 20% off total bill

A hidden gem above the Blue Posts pub from Studio Paskin, the team behind The Palomar and The Barbary. The wine list champions both classic and contemporary winemaking.

Ducksoup

Monday | 30% off food

A candlelit, vinyl-soundtracked charmer in the heart of Soho. The menu changes weekly to incorporate what’s good and in season right now e.g. Delica pumpkin and ricotta agnolotti and spelt, fig and frangipane galette.

Sussex

Tuesday – Friday | 25% off total bill

The countryside comes to this city at this British bistro from the Local & Wild group. Produce is sourced from all over the UK, including trout from Hampshire, burrata from London, and beef from Dorset.

Chotto Matte

Sunday – Thursday | 30% off food

A colour-saturated, high-energy restaurant devoted to Japanese-Peruvian fusion ‘Nikkei’ cuisine. Treat yourself to the wagyu brioche sliders and maki rolls, flambéed tableside.
