Lolo

If you’ve already got two award-winning restaurants on the same street in London’s Bermondsey, a third has to be good but also a bit different. And it is. Lolo is José Pizarro’s all-dayer, with breakfasts of devilled eggs four ways and omelettes that include a killer with Iberian ham shoulder 5J, caramelised onion and crisps.

Lolo does it all to José’s standards, which never seem to slip.
