Food Scene
Tsunami is Clapham’s most notable Japanese restaurant. Don’t ignore the gyozas, fresh and plump with chicken and cabbage, the kaitafi prawns, and the nasu goma — aubergine topped with very addictive sesame paste. Tempura impresses — the seafood selection is an elegant gap-filler; ramen is solid. But the sushi and sashimi are as good as it’s possible to find from a Japanese neighbourhood restaurant in London.

Sorella is the latest venture of esteemed chef Robin Gill. It has replaced The Manor, a loved neighbourhood restaurant that found Clapham a tricky market. Sorella is a fresh take, with a fun new Italian leaning. The snacks illustrate Sorella’s wit and flavour: truffled arancini are easy and restorative, while turbot, potato and Amalfi lemon is fresh and enlivening; the antipasti includes great nibbles such as sourdough, best dipped in a glorious trio of Jersey milk ricotta, black olives, and Parmesan. Two secondi dishes provide an option for those less inclined to share plates: the cod, with squid ink and chard, is fine; the venison is best paired with the crispiest of crispy potatoes.

Clapham’s newest restaurant of note is Minnow. It sums things up perfectly — an intimate, airy place full of butter and Instagram-perfect corners. The menu is affordable and pared-down, seemingly to focus on doing a few things skilfully. Starters are fashionably light, with salmon marinated in citrus and sea vegetables; cured duck breast; and squid with ginger and lime. Main courses, meanwhile, are suitably more robust — the clam and mussel chowder being a firm way to gain locals’ affections.
