Honey & Smoke

*Closing on 21 March 2026, prior to a relaunch as the Honey & Smoke Grill House.*

The original Honey & Co moved from Warren Street to its current home on Lamb's Conduit Street in 2022 but Honey & Smoke continues on its merry way in Fitzrovia. As the name suggests, this offshoot adds a fiery, smoky grill to proceedings, plying its trade in a big, buzzy, canteen-style space complete with tiled floors, plain square tables and plastic chairs. 

Run by an Israeli couple with Ottolenghi credentials, H&S opens its seasonal account with a colourful, inviting mix of Middle Eastern meze for sharing: pickles, creamy houmous, baba ganoush with crackers, salt-baked beetroot with yoghurt, radicchio and dukkah, all supported by Moroccan sourdough for dipping and scooping. Meanwhile, the grill delivers bigger plates of meat, fish and vegetables fired over coals – perhaps beef kofta with braised white beans and tomato salsa, tuna skewers with preserved lemon and coriander chermoula or mushroom shawarma with turnip pickles and cabbage slaw. The results are ‘delicious, inventive and amply proportioned’.

As for the sweet stuff, top billing goes to the famed feta and honey cheesecake with almonds and blueberries on a kadaif pastry base – although you might also be tempted by the seasonal quince and hazelnut frangipane. The wine list is tailored to the food, with its compass turned firmly towards the Mediterranean; beers, cocktails and sherry complete the drinks offer.
