Sinabro Restaurant

Exquisite Culinary Journey with French-Korean Fusion

There’s something rather special about Sinabro in Battersea—a little oasis of culinary prowess that seems to have flown under the radar despite bustling accolades from a devoted regular customer base. Perhaps it’s the graceful alchemy of French culinary techniques with a sprinkling of Korean flair, or maybe it’s the absurdly comforting atmosphere whipped up by Yoann and Sujin, the delightful powerhouse duo behind this little gem. When you arrive, the unassuming charm feels a bit like stumbling into a friend's well-kept secret—despite the gentle hum of nearby diners who are undoubtedly in on it.

Sitting at the counter, you are granted front-row seats to an edible art performance. The polenta fries are airy blocks of golden perfection, begging the question of why more places have not embraced such finesse. The matcha rice pudding, seemingly contradictory yet whimsically right, is served in bowls nearly the size of one’s head, spaciously justifying a second helping (or third). Dining here isn’t merely a meal; it’s a harmonious escapade of taste and ambiance, lightly dictated by impeccable service and sparkling conversation with Sujin. Each course unobtrusively marries flavours with an inventive spirit, a befitting nod to the bromide that great things come in small packages. Sinabro is surely worth more than one visit—a culinary chapter I eagerly wish to revisit, and highly recommend everyone add it to their London dining diary. — Milo Tastemaker
