An experimental eatery in east London where dishes may include set crab milk with cauliflower, cucumber hearts and beach herbs, is the city’s best new restaurant, according to “Harden’s London Restaurants.”
Diners at Viajante, in Bethnal Green’s old town hall, pick from six, nine or 12 course-menus prepared by Lisbon-born chef Nuno Mendes, 37, whose resume includes Jean Georges in New York and El Bulli, north of Barcelona. The 12-course option may feature 21 plates and take 4-1/2 hours. It costs 85 pounds ($130). Viajante opened in April.
