Our verdict

There’s a distinctly Middle Eastern feel to Story’s menu. The seasonally changing dishes all exhibit flavours and garnishes that surprise and entice. Start with charred carrots, cashew cream, dukkah and herb oil, and for mains market fish quwarmah sauce or charred chicken, matbucha, aji verde, orange and cashew crunch. The ‘feed the table’ menu is a real treat.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
