Charlotte Jones is London Reviews’ writer on Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and small-plates dining. She follows the city’s mezze rooms, Levantine bakeries and modern vegetable-led restaurants closely — from Hackney to Marylebone — and pays particular attention to set menus, sharing-plate value and the quiet shift towards vegetable-first cooking in London’s independent restaurant scene. Her verdicts draw on years of cross-referencing TripAdvisor, Hardens, Michelin and independent food press.
