Branca Bar, Restaurant and Deli

You'll find Branca tucked into the heart of Walton Street's quieter stretch, where it's become exactly the kind of place you'd want living round the corner. It's not trying to be fancy—the room's got warmth without being fussy, with staff who actually know what they're talking about and genuinely seem pleased you're there. The menu leans Italian but isn't precious about it; you get the sense they cook what they believe in rather than chasing trends. The wine selection punches well above its weight for a neighbourhood restaurant, which explains why you'll see the same faces in here regularly, many of whom have clearly made it their local.
