New menus, anyone? London restaurants are banging out new menus thick and fast, and we’ve discovered our favourite five.

1. For a Brinner Menu: Where the Pancakes Are 

What: Where The Pancakes Are has launched a masterful evening ‘Brinner’ menu centred around dishes that fuse breakfast and dinner together, letting you get your pancake fix into the night.

The Menu: The unique ‘Brinner’ offering includes sweet and savoury dishes, ranging from the vegan smoky Southern Jackfruit BBQ Pancakes – topped with sour cream, pickled red onion and spicy corn-coleslaw, to its meaty counterpart, Pulled Beef Pastrami Pancakes – topped with slow cooked brisket, cheddar, sauerkraut and 1000 island sauce. Sweet-toothed? Order the Banana Marshmallow Pancakes topped with banana, honeycomb, fluffy marshmallow cream and a rich chocolate or salted caramel sauce, or the seasonal Strawberries and Cream Pancake.

What: Nordic-inspired restaurant Aquavit London has introduced a  new weekly-changing five-course tasting menu from Head Chef Jonas Karlsson.

The Menu: Taking its lead from Nordic seasonal changes, enjoy a sensational five-course spread with showstopping Scandinavian plates. Whilst the menu changes weekly, expect freshly baked rye bread with cod roe butter to start, with other dishes such as Nuet cured gravlax with dill mayonnaise, and smoked duck breast with a cabernet sauvignon vinaigrette. For a sweet finale, puddings like the traditional baked ostkaka or sea buckthorn and orange sorbet.
