Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

Mayfair·$$$$

Signature Baba with Armagnac

A light sponge cake doused in a choice of vintage Darroze Armagnacs.

Tip: Ask for the server's recommendation on the vintage — they have a deep knowledge of the different age profiles and how they pair with the dessert.

Myrtos by Asimakis

South Kensington·$$$

Portokalopita with Kaimaki Ice Cream

£10.00

Orange phyllo cake served with traditional mastic-flavored ice cream.

Tip: The kaimaki ice cream is very traditional and has a unique stretchy texture — it's the perfect finish to the meal.

#3Score 94/100

Agora

Borough Market·$$

Portokalopita

£7.00

Traditional Greek orange phyllo cake served with cream.

Tip: It's quite sweet, so it's perfect for sharing if you've already had a few flatbreads.

#4Score 93/100

Evelyn's Table

Soho·$$$

Sake Baba with Gariguette Strawberries and Rice Ice Cream

£135.00

Sake-soaked sponge cake with gariguette strawberries, custard, and rice ice cream.

Tip: Let the sake-soaked sponge sit on your palate for a moment — the boozy flavour develops and complements the strawberries beautifully.

#5Score 92/100

Dinner by Heston Blumenthal

Knightsbridge·$$$$

Tipsy Cake (c.1810)

£22.00

Spit-roast pineapple with brioche soaked in Sauternes and brandy custard.

Tip: The Tipsy Cake is baked to order, so it arrives warm from the oven. Don't skip it even if you're full — reviewers consistently say Meat Fruit and Tipsy Cake are the two must-orders.

#6Score 91/100

Chishuru

Fitzrovia·$$

Sinasir

£12.00

Fermented rice cake topped with white crab meat.

Tip: The white crab meat is generous and sweet. The cake is the interesting part—don't miss it.

Brooklands by Claude Bosi

Belgravia·$$$$

Scottish Cèpe, Banana and Crème Fraîche

An avant-garde dessert pairing savory mushrooms with sweet fruit.

Tip: Order this even if you're skeptical. It's the kind of dish that makes you rethink what a dessert can be.

Chishuru

Fitzrovia·$$

Ekoki Corn Cake

£11.50

Fermented corn cake topped with chestnut mushroom purée and coconut cream.

Tip: One of the best vegetarian options. The mushroom puree is deeply flavored and the corn cake is the star.
