Small Victories

You'll either want to tell everyone you meet about Small Victories or keep your lips tightly sealed. It's that kind of place. The narrow terrace ranges over two levels, with a long marble bar downstairs and a cosier room above. Creative, intelligent cooking results in dishes such as fluffy waffles with poached pears and a complex fenugreek syrup; spice-roasted cauliflower and pumpkin salad with a creamy slick of tahini and toasty slivered almonds; or their take on banh mi, with juicy pork belly, lightly pickled vegetables and coriander in a Dench baguette. Shhh. Tell no one.
