My mum was in town for the weekend and she wanted to meet for lunch. Usually this means somewhere near Selfridges so that we can continue our shopping spree and possibly go for a late night movie. However this time we decided to mix it up a bit.She wanted to test this place Sputino out which she had read about online.
The only way I can describe this place is; if All Saints decided to branch out from the fashion world into cuisine then this is what each of their restaurants would look like. If Seasick Steve wanted a joint to hang out in with his guitar and his lyrics then this would be his place. A tiny place with iron everywhere subway styled tiles and a rusty feel with this cool urbaness ambiance to it. You are bringing derelict New York buildings with fire escapes and all to the middle of central London. Naked light bulbs dimly light the room and the waft of homely food fills the secret cubby hole of a diner! 
You can't really call it a restaurant as it does not host many tables and chairs. You sit along the bar which has maximum 15 places and there is one high table and stools towards the back.
The highlight is however that the menu is a funky as the venue. Popcorn is your bread and everything comes in miniature sizes so you order one of each and you become so addicted that you order more! Mini salt beef and pickle sandwiches, zucchini fries with yogurt dip, brioche and bone marrow etc. it brings a Novaux New York deli styled food to the streets of Soho in west London. ( you must try the peanut butter jelly sandwich for dessert- it is not what you think and is extremely delicious! The hint is ice cream and compote)
You can't book, you can't call , you just need to go and be lucky.
This is a must dining experience When in London
