Ahead of the long-awaited opening of the second Smoking Goat in Shoreditch this November, head chef Ali Borer tells us his fave spots.
Which London restaurant is your current fave?
Sager + Wilde on Paradise Row, it’s owned by a friend of mine.
Where do you go for a culture fix?
It’s hard for me to get anywhere as I work such long hours – so my fix tends to come from a book, or just walking around different areas of London.
Favourite international restaurant?
Nahm in Bangkok – I was just there for a research trip.
Where do you go for a night out?
I live in North East London, so I’m usually at the Finsbury pub, or somewhere on Stoke Newington Church Street.
And a morning off?
Green Lanes for a strong black Turkish coffee and a menemen.
