If a restaurant says it serves “the best” anything, I try not to let my expectations get too high. It’s a nightmarishly bold claim. Nearly every restaurant in London claims to have the best this or best that, but few meet the bar they set for themselves.
So when the waiter at Vori Greek Kitchen in Holland Park declared they’ve got “the best cheesecake in London”, my guard went up immediately. Not just because of the superlative but also because I adore cheesecake. It’s up there on my long list of favourite desserts, second only to sticky toffee pudding. I’m suspicious, to say the least.
