Conviviality is key at all of Honey & Co’s operations, and founders Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich have lost none of their original restaurant’s charm since relocating to Lamb’s Conduit Street. The current incarnation is a sleeker set-up, softened by foliage and muted tones, with tables covered by paper tablecloths (anticipating that sharing could get a bit messy). Packer and Srulovich, who met while working in kitchens in their home city of Tel Aviv, have detailed their infectious passion for Middle Eastern food via a prolific roster of cookbooks, catering, podcasts and eateries. As befits the convivial theme, the menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner kick off with sharing feasts and meze. At breakfast, this is followed by an expansive list of egg dishes; at lunch or dinner by a more grown-up seasonal carte. The cast of bountiful plates might include 'ambrosial' labneh with roast butternut squash, harissa and pine nuts, followed by sea beam and fennel ta...

As befits the convivial theme, the menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner kick off with sharing feasts and meze. At breakfast, this is followed by an expansive list of egg dishes; at lunch or dinner by a more grown-up seasonal carte. The cast of bountiful plates might include 'ambrosial' labneh with roast butternut squash, harissa and pine nuts, followed by sea beam and fennel tagine, slow-cooked lamb with saffron rice or lentil hotpot with burnt aubergine, scorched egg yolk and sfinge (Moroccan doughnuts). Prepare to have any less-than-generous preconceptions of Middle Eastern familiars blown away and be sure to order the bread – you’ll need plenty to swoop up pools and smears of sauce.

Finish with a slice of pillowy babka or the signature honey and feta cheesecake with crispy kadaif pastry: note, desserts are available all day – cake for breakfast is actively encouraged. For those on the move, there are takeout bakery goods: the ‘Bloomsbury bun’ is their orange blossom and almond tribute to the neighbourhood. The Med-leaning wine list is curated by the team behind the Noble Rot wine bar/restaurant opposite. Otherwise, opt for fun cocktails.
