Stampa, Mayfair
Opened – July 2019
Rating – 4.6/5

Now whenever a new place opens in Mayfair, I immediately think how much will this menu cost? However, Stampa has come to save us all with a low-cost but high-quality pasta café in the heart of Mayfair which is getting a lot of attention. Expect authentic Italian dishes and fresh pasta such as Wild Boar Ragu at lunchtime and evening with pastries and coffee’s served in the morning. With pasta dishes starting at as little as just under £7, this is a café that all pasta lovers in London should be adding to their list.

Another cheap eat opening from July which is wowing Londonders at present. Nandine is a coffee shop and café which has opened in Camberwell that is serving up authentic Middle Eastern flavours from their Sujuk & Smashed Avocado Kurdish Burger to Mezze meat plates to fill you up for the day at lunchtime. For those in South-East London next, head to Nandine for a flavour-packed lunch.
Tsaretta Spice, Twickenham
Opened – July 2019
Rating – 4.5/5
Price – ££
I’m always on the lookout for a new Indian restaurant in London and Tsaretta Spice in Twickenham is the new one to try from London’s latest restaurants. This is their second site they have opened after their original in France and makes this their first in the UK. Be ready to expect bold flavours, seasonal menu and Indian tapas as a dining option as well, this is certainly one I’m looking forward to trying, specifically their seafood options which look and sound delicious.
