Tastes of Tuscany
Along with its landscapes, history and artistic legacy, Tuscany is celebrated for its regional cuisine and high-quality seasonal produce, particularly game. In April, Tuscany on a plate is arriving in Brixton via Maremma, with its focus on regional specialities, charcoal grilled meats, fresh pastas and gnocchi.

Pop goes the truffle
They do good pop up at The King & Co. This month and next, street food guerrillas Truffle invade the kitchen with, you guessed it, a truffle-infused menu of small plates, signature burgers, slow cooked meats and truffle mash (ups). Until 31 March.

Growing up
POP’s fave home to quirky Sicilian dining, Trattoria Franzina is departing its cosy sea container. Panic not, the team are setting up a bricks and mortar “proper restaurant” just round the corner. Bringing the classic traditions of family-run tavernas and regional Sicilian cuisine to Coldharbour Lane.

Creative comfort
For Clapham’s vegan pop up Meet, the experiment is over – they’ve gone permanent.
