Head to the wonderful, but certainly tourist trap adjacent hell of London’s Borough Market and you’ll find two new Greek-ish restaurants from superhero chef David Carter. Downstairs is Agora, a slightly more casual walk-ins only joint. Upstairs is the more lavish Oma, where you will probably have to auction off a kidney in order to get a booking, but honestly, it really is worth it. (Side note: does anyone have a kidney I can borrow?)
Why? Because, bread. Sure, sassy little baskets filled with pillowy rolls never really went away; go to central London bigshot Brasserie Zedel and they’ll deliver a pink-napkin lined offering of carbs to you before you even get to your menu, while at the newer and hipper likes of Tollington’s in Finsbury Park – an Iberian style seafood bar in an old fish and chip shop – slices of San Sebastian-style baguette are practically flung at your head as you walk through the door.
