1 Rambutan, Borough Market
Singing the praises of Tamil Sri Lankan cuisine, Rambutan will prepare Tamil faves like slow braised black pork, samaba rice and chicken Pongal slow cooked with saffron, coconut milk, poppy seeds and cinnamon. Just like village kitchens that are built around traditional fire aduppu stoves, the restaurant’s open kitchen is the heart of the restaurant, toasting spices and roasting meats on the grill. Downstairs, the den of a bar prepares cocktails made with spirits banned by colonial rule – mezcal, cachaca and arrack, as well as low intervention wine and local craft beers.
