Frankie’s Toasties

You know that feeling when you're craving something simple but perfect? That's what you get at this Portland Street spot that's turned the humble toastie into an art form. The menu reads like comfort food poetry – think proper bacon and brie, chorizo and manchego, or their signature pulled pork with apple slaw, all grilled between thick slices of sourdough that emerge golden and structurally sound. The space itself is small and unpretentious, with just enough tables to create a proper buzz without feeling cramped. You'll queue at busy times (especially weekend mornings), but it moves quickly and the staff actually seem to enjoy being there. Open until 10pm on weekends, it's become the go-to spot for late-night comfort eating that won't leave you feeling awful the next morning.
