The term small but mighty applies perfectly to The Palomar. The greeting is warm, the music lively, the cocktails potent and the wait to be seated at the counter a long one if you haven’t booked ahead. And wait you should, as eating at the bar is where the party’s at. Highlights of head chef Omri McNabb’s Israeli small-plates sharing menu include the spiced lamb cutlets featured over the page, as well as crab kofta and wild seabass sashimi. For a quieter evening, take a seat at one of a handful of cosy tables in the back. thepalomar.co.uk
