Part of King and Jupiter

A critically-acclaimed restaurant in Soho which features a daily-changing menu inspired by the south of France and regional Italian Cooking. Co-founded by Jess Shadbolt, Annie Shi and Clare De Boer, King focusses on ingredient led, simple cooking with a focus on seasonality.

We love to share the stove with other cooks who love beans, bottarga and olive oil and who are excited to learn more about regional, classical cooking.
