New Tooting restaurant included in Michelin Guide 2021

A Tooting restaurant has been included in the prestigious Michelin Guide for the first time.

Smoke & Salt, situated on Tooting High Street, opened to the public in September last year.

The Michelin Guide awarded the restaurant a Michelin Plate for Good Cooking.

They said: "As its name suggests, the kitchen embraces the time-honoured techniques of smoking, curing and pickling, with seasonally-inspired small plates designed for sharing."

The Michelin Guide is an annual list featuring the best restaurants the UK has to offer.

Smoke & Salt responded to the news on social media, saying:

"Last night, the Michelin Guide announced their annual guide, composed of the best restaurants in Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

"Smoke & Salt were lucky enough to be included within the prestigious guide for the first time, being awarded a Michelin Plate for good cooking.

"We're pleased that our new site in Tooting has brought us to the attention of such prestigious food inspectors, and the whole team is overjoyed to be included.

"It's been a challenging year for us in the new restaurant, but this only increases our determination to get back to cooking the best we can, after lockdown ends."

The restaurant began as a supper club which later evolved into a pop-up before they settled in their permanent Tooting residence.
