Best Seasonal Restaurants in Tooting

We ate at Min Jiang on Christmas Eve , had Christmas lunch at Canton Blue / Peninsula Hotel , and Ivy Asia on Boxing Day .........................and the winner is Ivy Asia ! The food was more flavourful and the price was better and super relaxed atmosphere .

Great staff and the food was good. Decor is what we really went for. Didn’t feel rushed being there late at night except when ordering our main course since the kitchen closed at 10:45 but reservations was at 10:30pm.

Innovative and delicious. Friendly and attentive staff well informed on the cuisine.

I have wanted to eat here for a while and got the chance this week. It was everything I had hoped for and more... Seasonal menu with great choice and the cookery absolutely on point. What's lovely is that there are four courses with choices on each course which works for me better than a tasting menu where the diner doesn't have choice. Everything I had tasted and looked amazing. You can tell its based on classical French roots...the core ingredient is the star and is not 'messed about with'. The associated sauces, garnish, textures all compliment it. Great wine list and a very good range of wines by the glass which works well if you have four courses with the choices supported by knowledgeable but unpretentious sommeliers. Good food is one thing but its the service and ambience that makes a restaurant you want to return to. I definitely will be returning whenever I can. Fantastic food and wine in an elegant but unstuffy environment with knowledgeable, cheerful and perfectly attentive staff. Thank you!

Absolutely incredible evening at Smoke & Salt. The food was so delicious, each and every dish cooked perfect with so many gorgeous flavours. The service was so great as well, everyone was so accommodating and attentive throughout. Could not recommend enough and we will definitely be back again and again! Thank you so much the Smoke & Salt team!
