All the Restaurants at Frieze London and Frieze Masters

Bao

Ten years old, with branches across London, this Taiwanese eatery continues to pull in the crowds for its delicious take on street food. Sourcing the best ingredients, with beef and seafood from Cornwall, and without a trace of MSG in sight, get your umami fix and enjoy one of its ‘mood-matching’ cocktails.

Iconic dish: Classic braised pork belly bao

For fans of: David Hammons (perennially popular, never fails)

Gail’s

You know your neighbourhood is on the up when a Gail’s lands on the local high street. Its reliably satisfying soups, salads and sandwiches, top-notch coffee and fresh pastries hit the spot for those in need of a quick refuel. A good opportunity for a little off-booth chat with some of the exhibitors you are sure to encounter in the queue.

Iconic dish: A perfectly baked cinnamon bun with a flat white

For fans of: Richard Long (timeless nourishment)

Find it at: Frieze Masters and Frieze London

Ham Yard

Like the oasis of calm it offers amid the bustle of Soho, Ham Yard brings its quiet elegance to The Regent’s Park, providing respite for weary feet and hungry appetites. At lunch, enjoy modern European cuisine cooked with finesse, or return mid-afternoon for a restorative cup of tea and a slice of something sweet.

Iconic dish: Beetroot and pomegranate salad followed by beef tartare

For fans of: Gerhard Richter (reliable European class)

Jikoni 

With the tagline ‘No Borders Kitchen’ Jikoni marries flavours from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the UK. As well as having an impressive commitment to the environment – in 2021 it was the first independent restaurant in the UK to achieve carbon-neutral status – Jikoni brings an original and healthy vegetarian menu to Frieze.

Iconic dish: Squash pakoras

For fans of: Sheila Hicks (bold, ambitious energy)

Find it at: Frieze London

Maison François

A favourite for gallery dinners, Maison François transports a soupçon of old-world Gallic charm from the heart of St James’s and spoils diners with its impeccable French classics, whether that’s a simple plate of charcuterie, a fresh salad, or roast chicken and frites. Just make sure to save room for the delights of the dessert trolley.

Iconic dish: A rich and refined chocolate eclair

For fans of: Sophie Calle (quintessentially French)

Find it at: Frieze London

Nobu

London was the first European city in which the acclaimed Nobu set up shop, with branches in Mayfair and Marylebone. Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s menu draws on Japanese cuisine with innovative flavours from South America. A restful space studded with ikebana arrangements, it’s the perfect spot for an invigorating lunch, or an afternoon sake.

Iconic dish: The wonderfully rich, sweet and savoury black cod miso

For fans of: Barbara Hepworth (bold, earthy and precise)

Find it at: Frieze Masters

Rita’s

Returning to Frieze for the sixth year, this time around Rita’s takes the form of a taco bar. The ever-popular Soho restaurant – where Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz were recently spotted on a date – will be serving up fresh gluten-free tacos and generously filled hot subs, for those on the go. Wash it all down with a fresh juice or a delicious cocktail, before diving back in.

Iconic dish: Tacos, of course.

For fans of: Isa Genzken (a flavour bomb that hits the spot every time)

Find it at: Frieze London

Sessions Art Club

Pull up a chair and enjoy some sharing plates at this chic eatery. Diners at its Clerkenwell basecamp can feast their eyes on a revolving presentation of art on the walls, with recent offerings from Rene Matić and Melike Kara. And they can fill their bellies with chef Alice Hill’s

skilfully prepared dishes that draw on influences from across Europe, all prepared with seasonal produce from land and sea and accompanied by a refined selection of wines.

Iconic dish: Langoustine risotto and fennel

For fans of: Agnes Martin (understated brilliance)

Find it at: Frieze London

Trullo

Having celebrated its 15th birthday this summer, the north London institution continues to deliver the very best of classic Italian cooking to diehard fans and new converts alike.  Everything is made with the finest fresh ingredients and many people rate its pasta the best in town. 

Iconic dish: The by-now-legendary pappardelle with beef-shin ragù 

For fans of: Bridget Riley (simple, effective and sophisticated)

Find it at: Frieze Masters

Feeling thirsty?

If you are at Frieze London, swing by east London social enterprise Company Drinks for a fruit cordial, a BAD Cola or, if you need something a little stronger, a foraged cocktail. For a glass of wine, stop off at Yalumba, a 175-year-old family business from Australia that makes exceptional, sustainably produced bottles. Or slow down, take a break and sip a rejuvenating matcha at Sayuri, Frieze’s resident tea experts.
