Manteca

Following a very successful residency at 10 Heddon Street, Chris Leach and David Carter have opened permanent spot Manteca in Soho. The Italian menu features fresh pasta and meat in equal measure: the silky mortadella is made in-house, as is the hand-rolled garganelli and ravioli (p143). Starters include crisp and crunchy pink fir apple potatoes dipped in smoked cod roe, and pig’s head fritti. If you’ve still got room left for dessert, try the stunning pink rhubarb tart (p143). mantecarestaurant.co.uk @manteca_london
