Soif
Battersea·$$$
Apple Tart
£8.50
Classic French upside-down apple tart served with heavy cream.
Tip: It's best had with a dollop of their properly thick heavy cream. A simple but perfectly executed classic.
#2Score 92/100
The Marksman
Hackney·$$
Brown Butter & Honey Tart
£8.50
Sweet tart with brown butter and honey, a signature dessert.
Tip: Save room for this. It's one of the most-praised desserts in London and the Marksman's best dish.
#3Score 90/100
The Gate
Hammersmith·$$$
Three Onion Tart
£11.50
Savory tart with caramelized onions, leeks, and shallots.
Tip: The tart is surprisingly light. It's a great choice if you're planning on having one of the heavier mains like the schnitzel.
#4Score 90/100
Cafe Cecilia
Hackney·$$$
Guinness Treacle Tart
£9.00
Treacle tart made with Guinness, served with creme fraiche.
Tip: Do not skip dessert here. The Guinness in the treacle tart stops it from being one-dimensionally sweet. If the Guinness bread ice cream is on the specials board, get that too.
#5Score 87/100
The Ledbury
Notting Hill·$$$$
Brown Sugar Tart
£16.00
Caramelized brown sugar tart with stem ginger ice cream and poached grapes.
Tip: This appears late in the tasting menu, at the perfect moment. The brown sugar and spice contrast beautifully with the cool ice cream.
