Cris Cohen - HIDDEN

What it’s like

Seasonal tasting menus in a studio kitchen setting, with a changing series of themed dining experiences to book into.

This one's for the adults, not a family outing. It's built around seasonal dining experiences, with the site talking up "thoughtfully refined dishes" served from a studio kitchen with a café bar attached. Think an evening booked around food rather than a quick bite.

There's a rolling programme rather than one fixed menu. The Autumn Series runs at £28, the Festive Series at £25, and if you want to push the boat out there's a Mystery Midmonth Meal at £45, which by the name alone sounds like you won't know what's coming until it lands on the table. That mystery element is the bit worth booking for, honestly, more than any of the others.

It's open Wednesday to Saturday, 9am to 8pm, and booking is required, so this isn't a walk-in-and-see option. There's no booking link listed, which is a bit of a faff if you're used to sorting everything online in one go. Private bookings are available if you want to take the studio for a group occasion.

Prices sit at £25 upwards depending which series you go for, which puts it more in special-occasion territory than a casual midweek dinner. Given the seasonal changeovers, it's worth going more than once across the year if you want to catch each version of the menu before it moves on.
