The Knife's Restaurant of the Year 2025: ALTA
ALTA in Kingly Court brings Basque fire cooking, sharp technique and London’s best new grill menu. Led by El Bulli alumnus Rob Roy Cameron, the restaurant blends Northern Spanish traditions with the British larder (think cecina with coffee, blistered squid in Vizcaína sauce and an 850g ribeye cooked over the open flame). Soho’s hottest new opening? Without question, and now officially The Knife's Restaurant of the Year 2025.
